Trivial Things That Make You Surly

How seemingly nobody in customer service can ever help to actually provide any new information, let alone solve a problem. Thanks FedEx person for reading the tracking information off of your screen that I'm also staring at on my screen. Thanks health benefits rep for directing me to a phone number who directed me to another phone number who directed me to you.

Spiral cut hams suck shit.. There I said it !!

This Sunday, open up the coupon booklet in the Austin American Statesman to the page with the offer for the spiral ham.  And tell me what the last slice coming off the main ham looks like to you.

When you’re done eating the spiral sliced ham you can take the leftover bone with chunks of ham on it and make awesome beans.

My thing with the spirals is those cuts allow flavors to escape IMO.. The next day the ham starts tasting very bland to me. Give me a good old fashioned bone in Boston butt ham.

Jackasses that stop at your table while you're at a restaurant and won't just say "Hey! Good to see you. Talk to you later" and then move on.

Was out last night with the old lady and enjoying supper.  Another couple was at the table next to us. As they sat down and placed their drink orders an acquaintance of his showed up to "chat."  

Drinks orders placed, drinks served, appetizers ordered, appetizers served, main course ordered and served.  Dipshit acquaintance was still there talking to the guy while standing right over her left shoulder at a very incomfortable position for her.   The guy tried dropped several hints to dipshit acquaintance but the dumbass was completely oblivious and just kept on bloviating about himself, his work and how great he was doing.  

My wife and I finished our meal, paid and left and this idiot was still sucking the oxygen out of the room at the 25 minute mark.  The woman (visibly pissed by this intrusive moron) had completely finished her meal and the guy hadn't touched his now stone cold meal.  And, yes, dipshit was aggy evidenced by his many references to a/m and his maroon shirt  

What a beating.

maybe its just our local news anchors....but they place their cell phones out in front of them on the news desk. not sure why, their work is pretty much scripted in the teleprompter...kinda like what adam schefter or adrian woj does but they actually have news to break...these anchors dont. 

I've thought about that for a long time, glad to hear somebody else noticed it.  Is it their personal phone?  Is it the company phone?  Is it a prop phone to make them look busy?  Bottles the mind...

I obviously have a great deal of appreciation for the function that they serve, but Jesus Fucking Christ does everything about toenails just totally suck. 

Their appearance on just about everyone (irrespective of gender), their feeling when they snag, chip, or crack; their maintenance - everything just sucks.

Not so much surly but it troubles me when I see people hanging their arms outside a driver's side window of their car or truck. I have irrational fear that it's going to get clipped off by some asshole who's texting and quickly moves over into your lane. 
I do it when its 80+ but only in town going 40 or less mph

Personal...i can tell by the pink phone cases. They really need to check social media or text during commercials?

I thought it was to pretend like they were getting hot leads in real time there at the news desk.  Even though they don't really look at them, I thought was the "we're constantly connected to our people in the field" deal they were trying to convey.  But yeah, the hot one in the glasses on KXAN.  I keep sending dick pics to her, but she won't pick up her phone on air.

I'm good friends with my local 6pm anchor. He literally reads the news on the prompter and then uses commercial breaks to text with his buddies and his psycho girlfriend. After you've been reading the news in your TV voice for a few decades it gets really boring.

Sometimes when I'm watching I'll fuck with him, like "dude the reason Ericka (his female costar) is looking at you funny is because you've got a huge booger on your shirt collar."

Or "would you tell the sports guy to hurry the fuck up so I can watch the 6:30 rerun of Big Bang Theory?"

The moment the camera turns off he is out the door like a shot, we will make plans to meet up at 6:35 and he's usually a minute or 2 early.

SiAP but when you are really thirsty and you order unsweet tea, and the waitstaff delivers sweet and you take a huge gulp, realize it's sweet (noooooo!!!1!!) And then have to make a split second decision to either stop drinking it and wait for a replacement or keep drinking it (it's so cold!!!) and the deal with the sugar rush/diabetus.

Good thought process. A body part caught between two 2-ton vehicles traveling in opposite directions less than 40 mph couldn’t possibly hurt anything.

When I was in high school my friends and I were riding in my friends camero going about 70. One of my friends was in the front passenger seat with his elbow hanging out the window. The car swerved to the side and my friend clipped his elbow on a speed limit sign post with no damage at all. Might have had something to do with pot and beer though.

You call it fear. I'd call it anticipation.

Dale Hansen is rather famous for just leaving the bar in time to do his spiel and being back at the bar about 30 seconds after he's done.

Guy loses arm after falling asleep and getting hit by an incoming bus

Coconuts Manila Coconuts Manila,Coconuts Manila 11 hours ago

Falling asleep on public transport may be much more dangerous than it seems.

A man’s arm was severed after it was accidentally hit by an incoming bus on Saturday morning.

According to Facebook user Aqu Si Val Coe, who was on the same bus that the unidentified man was riding, the incident happened at 9:30am along EDSA-Kamuning in Quezon City.

She explains in the Facebook post she shared on Saturday that the bus accidentally hit the man’s arm because it was hanging out of the window. The man was sleeping before the incident occurred.

Bombo Radyo reported that the rescue team of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) arrived at the scene with first-aid.

Balitambayan reported that the man was being treated at the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City.

The video has garnered over 1.5million views and 20,000 shares as of this article’s posting. Netizens were alarmed by the incident:

Facebook user Amor Eli Tejome Sulat wrote: “The rescue [team] takes so long [to arrive], I pity him, he keeps crying.”

A farmer I worked for back in high school was driving down a country road with his arm straight out the window catching wind with his hand.  A dove flew up from the grass and broke his hand.  Had feathers stuck to it.
