the public bathroom hand-drying dispenser thats a cloth roll.  i know its a large roll that gets changed but i just feel like its a tiny loop that gets cycled over and over again.

I have never seen one of these in person. Seems like a terrible idea.

never used one of these? count your blessing.  theyre the devils invention

I go to the Canton Trade Days fairly regularly. I am very specific on what I look for (WW2 militaria) so I can cover a lot of area in a hurry because I can usually skip most booths that I can tell will not have anything by a quick glance. I try to go on a Friday when it is less crowded. However, despite my best efforts of a quick trip it is always slowed down by folks on electric scooters randomly running around and stopping in the middle of the lane to get off and, in a perfectly healthy walk, get off an go look in the booths. Many drive too fast and turn without looking. The worst are the ones that are pulling a wagon. I hate it. I understand that there are some that need them but most do not.

I have been yelled at more than once by pushing someone’s ride out of the way. I just stop and say, “well come move it then”. Usually get a perturbed look in return but I continue to push out of the way in an opposite direction.

At some point you need to hop in one of those abandoned scooters and drive away.

Yesterday, and the grocery store, in one aisle I had three different women put their cart in the very center of the aisle while shopping. Three different times I had to say excuse me for them to move the damn cart. 

Grab the nearest product off the shelf and add one (or many more) to the offending cart.

Desktop Macs have a rechargeable mouse. Apparently, they don't want you using the mouse while it's charging, so they put the charging connection on the bottom, and the computer doesn't tell you the mouse battery is low until there's about fifteen minutes left. 

Apple died as an innovative company with Steve Jobs.

People do not give a fuck about others, whether they are on a cart or shopping with a regular one.

The inclination to just run these people the fuck over keeps growing inside.

 

GET THE FUCK OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S WAY, MOTHERFUCKERS. Stay the fuck at the house...

These people were all of @Armybrat's generation. And I just can't get angry like I would with a 20 something

Ahh so you haven't.  White women are all bluster. You mess with an angry balk woman, and you get the proverbial horns.

Old white women will run your ass over...

and then cuss you for slowing them down.

Axe anyone who work in the public...

When I got to the checkout lane, I’d just omit that item. I’d know that wasn’t on my list. If you want to fuck with someone, take something out of their cart. They probably won’t notice it’s missing when they check out. They won’t figure it out until after they get home. They could’ve sworn they picked that up.

That would be the better way to fuck with me, anyway.

This iPhone commercial where the lady is fumbling her phone, that God damn ridiculous drum and babble background noise makes me want to murder someone. 

It doesn't help that mlb.tv seemingly runs that ad every half inning.

I have had to explain the username a few times. Short version is I liked hanging out over there because I used to go to the AMC by Lincoln Center and I love the Natural History Museum. I would not live over there though. I prefer an area with a vibrant culture (Puerto Ricans are pretty awesome people!) like the one in my neighborhood.

Should have moved up to the Eastside Mr. Jefferson

Ha. I’m good with El Barrio.  Kinda cool walking past that building occasionally because it brings the show to mind. I wonder how many folks know he spent the last twenty odd years of his life living a simple and quiet one in El Paso. I had a friend some years back who remembered him living in her neighborhood and she said he would just walk to the grocery store and was nice to everyone.

A couple of Amazon Echo things...

Me: "Alexa, go to... "
Kids yelling over me: "Alexa tell a knock knock joke", "Alexa, how old are you?", "Alexa, drop in on mommy"
 

Me: "Alexa, play music by Steely Dan"
Kids within 5 seconds "Alexa, play Kidz Bop Kidz"
 

Like pretty much everything I own/do. As soon as I start using something, they'll run over and try to take over. FML.

Somebody's kids need their disrespectful little asses torn up.

Idiot drivers merging onto a full-speed interstate, with plenty of space between vehicles, who assume they have the right of way, not the vehicles on the highway. These days I’m doing a lot of back and forth between Dallas and Tyler, and these idiots are legion. Many times the semi has no where to go because the left lane is occupied. 
On Sunday evening, I was driving on 290 westbound, at Waller. Right before the Buc-ees exit, a semi was about halfway into a car that was parallel to the truck. It was right after the preceding entrance ramp. I got to the scene about 1/2 hour after it happened and emergency personnel were ripping the windshield off to get to the driver. Although I didn’t see the accident happen, it was pretty easy to figure out. Truly, F around and find out.

Got a summons today to appear in Houston City Court as a witness.  The fuckstick that rear ended me on I10 and totaled my car is contesting his ticket.  I’m going to ask for the death penalty.

paying 3-5$ for a pot/bunch of fresh herbs at the grocery stores when all you need is a few sprigs.  cilantro and basil ill often use the whole thing, but most everything else requires just a tiny bit.

ive tried growing them at home to have a perpetual supply, but its never works out that well (thyme is decently easy to maintain). 

im sure i buy plenty of groceries that is more wasteful, but nothing feels as wasteful as having to buy herbs.
