Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[closetohumping 17412]

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.

Meh. I wouldn't worry too much until he starts dropping "get a body bag!"

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.

Wanted to point out “little guy” was an adult

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

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

That's how we knew it was @Superhero

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 stand at 5'11".  In my Barbie shoes. About 5'8" without.

A skosh below the national average, but I don't consider myself a little man.

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

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

In this case though, it was miyagi screaming “Daniel San, Lawrence already quit.  He got nothing. Nobody touch yiu”

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.

the "pop up" style of drain stopper that seems to be prevalent these days where you have to stick your hand into the dirty sink water in order to release the stopper. this is not an improvement.

It's okay to acknowledge someone who let's you in on a Mopac entrance in wall-to-wall traffic when no one else will.

A simple fucking wave is not too much to ask.

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.
