Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[closetohumping 17545]

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.

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.

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. 

[Wally Pryor 5303]

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.

Of course they are because every major tech company and government has them infected with viruses

If you ACTUALLY have a pair of those, burn 'em.  They probably have mutations for the next 3 undiscovered STIs / STDs.

an absolutely fucktarded move in the new Outlook is you cannot continuously scroll through the calendar view in the monthly mode, and you cannot advance any mode using the mouse scroll wheel.  You have to click the ^ and v icons to jump from week to week or month to month.

The updated Outlook is horrible. I'm holding onto the old slightly less shitty version for as long as possible.

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.

People who say they're doing "XYZ" for cancer awareness.

a.  What's that going to accomplish?  We all go "aww"?  

b.  Pretty sure we're all aware of cancer.  We're all likely gonna get some form of it before we go.  Sorry, but as my wife likes to say "you're not special."

I'll get back to focusing on prepping for the game.

Whoever decided that kitchens should be in people's living rooms needs to be dragged out into the street and beaten with sticks
