His navigator was an A-rab

 

 

He was a pretty ballsy guy, and discovered predictable sailing routes across and back over the Atlantic that were used for centuries after his discovery.  Read that in  

The Discoverers. A book written by the head librarian of the Library of Congress, and recommended by a guy on Shaggy.

I know this has been in here before but it merits reposting due to the specifics. 

Someone sent out a email incorrectly to a company wide email address/list. 

130 replies of, "I'm not the correct person, please remove me from this distribution" later... 130... fucking replies to all.. IT comes in and says, "Stop replying to this email".

I don't work for Walmart and this wasn't Jiffylube's mechanics disty email address. 

Allegedly, these people aren't all stupid. 

FML

Yes, they are all stupid.

Guys (and some women) with naturally higher voices who consciously force their voices lower.  I suspect this is an attempt to be taken more seriously.... only to result in vocal fry which tends to do the opposite.

I'm not sure if I've ever witnessed this, but it sounds terrible.

Vocal fry is the worst.

When the hotel fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night.  And you were up way late.  And on the top floor.  And the alarm is still going off 1.5 hours later.  And the fire dept has already given up and left, but still it blares....

The only time that's happened to me there was an actual fire. We evacuated the hotel and on our way downstairs passed firemen on their way up. We passed the kitchen where the fire started but it was already extinguished. We could see lots of char and water damage. We had been up late partying and maybe had two hours of sleep. It was still about four hours until we were allowed to go back to our rooms.

Mobile, Alabama.  Coming back to Houston from NC.  

Hotel fire alarm went off 20 minutes after I hit the pillow.  Never stopped.  No fire.  Just a malfunction.  Hotel manager offered $20 off my stay.  I countered with "how about a free stay?"  He relented.

there's an otherwise excellent porn site where one of the male actors does this vocal fry 'oh yessss ohhh yesss' bullshit over and over.  makes it really hard to fap through.

Went to Panera (actually called St Louis Bread Company here) and got a sandwich for lunch today.  The ratio of guts to bread was way off.  The bread couldn't contain the guts.  It was trivial and I was surly.

The opposite would make me surly.  I'd rather have to remove some guts than to get a mostly bread sangwich.

Celery in Chinese food. It's just cheap filler. Do they even have celery in China? The new Chinese place that opened near me is a celery joint so they suck. All the better Chinese places are on the other side of the river and I've got to wait until after rush hour to go pick up dinner. But I'm hungry now. 

I guess one cocktail won't kill me.

I travel a lot. The next week I’m not on road for portion of week will be Halloween week and it would have been 21 weeks straight of travel leading up to that week. 

I’m annoyed/tired of the pilot giving some folksy, who fucking cares preamble to the flight and then some pithy, unnecessary comment during said flight. 

Just STFU and fly the bus.

Celery sucks except as a side for wings 

It's an essential flavor as part of a base for a stock or sauce like in a mirepoix or the holy trinity. It's great roasted along with other vegetables. I like snacking on it raw whether with wings or just as an appetizer on a vegetable plate.

It doesn't belong in stir fry and experience has taught me that the Chinese places that put it in all their dishes are low quality. Nowadays before trying a Chinese restaurant I'll call and ask if they put celery in their Kung Pao and if the answer is yes then I won't bother eating there. I've got dozens of other options to choose from.

Fucking robo calls.  I get at least three a day from some hijacked number.  I even have had some dumbass from call me telling me he missed a call from my number.  He could not even fathom the fact that he got a robo call and it just used my number.  He was actually angry at me when I tried to explain I had not called him. 

Heather with my "credit card company" needs to be dragged out in the street and shot.

Humblebrag about morning drives with your windows down

(Its snow icy and 25 degrees out)

Ha, this is the first morning the temp has been below the 70's with insane humidity.

Hell, this is the first day our highs will dip below 80. And it is glorious. Last Thursday, the heat index was 102. It was brutal.

One of the guys in my office exaggerates his sneezes - Like a 12 year old would do in class trying to be funny when there is a substitute teacher.

He's in his 40's and still does this shit.  

I know what you're talking about.  But I'm a very loud sneezer and I can't help it.  My wife thinks I'm exaggerating and I promise I'm not.  I get no joy or humor out of it.  I just really can't help it.

I hate when one of my teams gets screwed out of a win by a bad call from the ref, and people reply, "Well the team shouldn't have let themselves get into a situation where one call determines the game".

F that.  Close games are generally decided by a handful of plays.  If the ref misses it, I'm going to bitch about it.

I had one of those in my office. I celebrated the day he quit.

He came into work one day, got sick, and puked in his trash can. Ok fine, it happens. He proceeds to stay at work, and ended up puking again shortly thereafter. Had to go tell HR to make him go home. Disgusting. Also, not trivial.

People who think that their portion of a shared space is based on their size, rather than equal portion.  I was at a seminar today, and we sat three to a table.  After I got back from break, lard ass had his computer out and he physically moved my chair over so he could have more room (I'm avg. 170 lbs).  I received 1/5th of the table, while he and fat bitch split the other 4/5.

They usually hang up.  Usually.

When someone IM’s me, asking me to call them.
I ignore them, unless it my boss’s boss, of their boss.
 

Damn.. your company is still on AIM?

I’m too dumb to know what AIM is.

All I know is, we can IM each other, instead of email, if we choose.
