Trivial Things That Make You Surly

Back to the treating service workers bad thing.  Jerks that make the flight attendant move the cart back ten rows just to use the restroom. Usually an announcement is made.  And I’ve seen guys try to use the head despite the flight attendant saying to wait.  I know what’s the harm right. But it’s annoying

Was at a kids hui jitsu tournament and this little guy is cheering his kid on.   Cool right?  Sure. Until he starts trashing the opponent. “He’s got nothing!  He’s already quit!” Followed up by “nobody here can touch you!”

kids are like 6 or 7 I think 

Weird that you and @Superhero were at the same tournament.

Sorry for being proud of my kid. LOL.

 

How was the tournament btw? Was this in Long Beach? We were thinking about going, but I got lazy.

For some folks, once they get to security, it's like they threw their brains in the trash with that open pepsi.

between daylight savings time and flash power outages and unplugging things in and out, none of the appliances in my kitchen ever show the same time and it is intensely annoying
My Fitbit, personal cell phone and work laptop are never in sync exactly. All of these program the time itself, never have to touch even for going forward and back an hour.

I like having different time zones in my own house... Of course, I've set all of them at a minimum of 5 minutes faster than the actual time, but the rest of my family are never ready to leave on time

Well, we have two characters figured out, Mr. Miyagi, and John Kreese (sweep the leg!). Any sightings of Ali? Pics?

Karate Kid came out when I was in HS.  Elizabeth Shue was a formative part of my adolescence.  

This is not at all a hot take, as a lot of others have made this observation before me, but Daniel was a dick and Johnny did not deserve what happened.  Daniel threw the first punch in the first fight, was a petulant little baby in pulling his pranks, and stole Johnny's girl.  Miyagi enabled a narcissist.  The only real antagonist in KK was Creese.

regular socket isn't deep enough to clear the surrounding obstacles and deep socket is too tall to fit under the obstacle above.

hope the ratcheting wrench can get on this fucking thing.

Edit: some asshole just loaded his bag into another bin longitudinally to the aircraft what the fuck

That's not the worst. I was flying home from San Francisco, and some douchenozzle put his fedora up there while 1/2 the plane was still boarding. I took it out and shamed the guy into taking back. He was pissed, but fuck him.

Not so trivial: plumbing repairs under our house slab to fix sewer drain pipe. Very expensive to excavate 20’ through a limestone rock shelf to get at the problem - collapsed sewer drain plus tree root invasion.

After two days of jackhammering excavation plus one hour this morning under our house, it is dead quiet all of a sudden and that crew is packing up.
Hopefully the plumbing crew will come sooner rather than later to do the drainpipe repairs and install the new commode to get that guest bath in working order.
As for the massive pile of dirt & rock in our back yard, that will not be backfilled into the excavation hole until the building inspection is done. The photo was made about halfway through the digging/drilling process.
In the meantime, the local wildlife better not crawl under there.

They did cover the hole, and the plumbers on their way over sometime today…

They covered the plumbers in the hole? Now we know what happens to tradesmen when they present AB with an exorbitant bill.
