When you're really excited to try a new restaurant that you just discovered only to learn that it sucks.

I’m looking at you, Roosters. I forgot just how badly your wings suck. I threw most of them in the trash.

Or a place that was really really good somewhere, excited to finally get a chance to go back, and it sucks shit through a straw.

[EE2B 1565]

Ticks. Ticks make me surly.
We recently bought a place in ETX.  On the adjacent preserve, I have miles and miles of nature trails to run on, through the forest. A runner’s dream. And it is awesome to run through the big rolling pasture that usually has 10-20 whitetail deer on it. 
 
Except that those deer have ticks. And leave them on the grass. That I run through. And the ticks get on my legs and shoes. And then get nice and comfortable all over my legs, crevices, and junk. 
 
Obviously I stopped running through the pasture. But the surprise of finding  a tick on your junk is not a nice one. And nobody’s wife likes combing through the taint looking for ticks. 

A guy I work with had to wake his wife up one day at like 5am because something was fucking him up and he couldn’t find it. He had used a mirror between his legs to try to see it and still couldn’t. He had to wake her up and ask her to look between his legs. Turned out he had a tick on his taint.

Yep. That’s exactly what the situation was. That is not considered foreplay, by the way. By me, Mrs. NNM (no pics), or the tick.

Obviously need to sulfur the taint.

This was me and In n Out when they first opened in AZ. Huge hype, lines around the parking lot, it was all everyone was talking about. Finally got a burger, took a bite, and said "the fuck are people so excited about??"

If you would have tried the fries first you probably would have just thrown the burger away.

Yes, In-n-out fries are very trivial, and they make me very surly.  They should pay us to take them away from the restaurant and dispose of them in a cardboard recycling box.  No, cardboard has more flavor.

We're doing a full kitchen renovation and a I have a belly full of grievances...

1. I want to re-use my oven, so I'm looking at matching built-in microwaves. WHY IN THE LIVING HELL are they double the price of an over-the-range model that has the extra function of having a hood?
    
2. I get the Covid delays... but everything is back-ordered at least until mid-July.
    
3. The built-in microwaves have doors that swing down like an oven. I mean let's just put the door EXACTLY where a human would be standing when they're putting things in / takings things out of the microwave. 
    
4. Bosch not making a countertop microwave so I can just get that and a trim kit.
    
5. Doing a kitchen renovation at all...

Doing a kitchen reno right now too. Contractor did the demo a month ago. Supply chain constraints mean we’re another 7-8 weeks out. Not easy living in a house with no kitchen.

I've decided when I remodel our kitchen I'm just going to have a cabinet with doors on it to hide the microwave. The built-in ones are a racket.

Get rid of the microwave and get a steam oven.  
 

Do it.

Neighbors that refuse to pick up the trash in their yard or on the sidewalk in front of their house. 
 

My across the street neighbor had a half-full Sonic cup wrapped in shrink wrap (left by some delivery schmuck) on the sidewalk in front of his house for a week now. 
 

He has refused to pick it up as has his lawn service guy.  
 

Finally this morning I had enough and, when completing the morning walk of my trusted hounds, I picked up the danged thing and threw it away.  
 

Is the guy blind, stupid, lazy or apathetic?  All four?

When you are cordial enough to let someone into traffic only for them to be the slowest driver on earth and you can not now get around them because of a steady stream of cars coming around the left hand lane.

Not a perfect correlation, of course, but it's not a coincidence that some timid dipshit moron who should never have been granted a driver's license in the first place is the very same kind of driver that also needs a lot of help from all of the other motorists to accomplish basic tasks like merging.

Just like an "oops, my bad, I acknowledge that I fucked you there - sorry!" can flip your attitude towards another driver 180° from rage to appreciation, so too can the act of another driver not turning on their headlights after you flash them a reminder. Your mindset goes from "I want to help this person be safe and avoid an accident" to "I hope that asshole gets mangled in a single car crash right here and now so I can watch" in the span of a few seconds. 

And if someone can help me remember what comedian made that observation about headlights, I would appreciate it.

There is a state highway near my home that I drive on everyday.  People habitually drive in the left hand lane at a rate of speed that dictates that they should stay in the right hand lane.  This highway has a particularly long left hand turn lane that can accumulate a lot of cars in it to prevent them from backing up into the highway to turn left. I will get into the left hand turn lane, at its beginning, to make the forthcoming left hand turn.  Invariably, in doing so I often pass the slow poke drivers in the left hand land only to have them almost hit me as they clumsily wait to the last moment to get into the turn lane without paying attention.
