Trivial Things That Make You Surly

People who take half a donut. Come on, fatty mcgee, who are you trying to fool? Just take the whole fucking thing and throw half of it in the trash at your desk. No one else is going to want to eat the left behind half of that donut that you pawed all over while you were tearing it apart.

The worst part about it is that most of these people like to make a big showy event out of the whole thing. "Ohh, goodness, I'm only going to take HALF of this jelly donut, I'm watching my weight for beach season, anyone want the other half?"

Get the fuck out of here, you weigh two bucks and a quarter. If you go to the beach the beach will run out of sun.

 

 

As a follow up to this post. This morning I brought some goodies into the office. Donuts, sausage and cheese "kolaches".

I go about my business, and come back a few minutes later to find one of our secretaries cutting them all in half. Everything in the box, pulling them out one by one, cutting them in half, putting the pieces back in the box.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

She claimed that there "Was not enough for everybody" and they are all "so big" that she'd just go ahead and cut them up since no one would eat a whole one.

What in the everliving hell. This is not preschool. If I bring treats I don't have to bring enough for the entire office.

Maybe not trivial, but I go to change my brake rotors yesterday.  Costco overtorqued one lug nut so much that I couldn't get it off with a 4-way and a three foot cheater pipe.  Bent the fuck out of my wrench.

Next time take it to Discount Tire where they just break the lugs clean off.

And no matter how hard I try, I can’t salt them the right way like a good fast food place that does salt them correctly. 

The trick is to salt them as soon as they're out of the fryer, can't do it right after they've been sitting for a few minutes

I'm glad you put Kolaches in quotes. As a Czech, that's a trivial thing that pisses me off- when people call "pigs in a blanket" kolaches.

Your co-worker might not have taken credit for bringing in treats but odds are she wouldn't correct anyone's mistaken beliefs it was her either.

The mechanics at quick lube/ tire change shops are supposed to use a torque wrench, but more than likely no one is watching them to see if the employee was trained correctly...

When someone says, "It's not personal, it's business."  First of all, you are not the Godfather or in the mafia.  Second, why is taking things personally bad?  If you do something to hurt or offend someone, they aren't supposed to take it personally, even if it is in a business context?  Who made up these rules?

Kolache is a pastry though. So it makes no sense to call it that.

If the shop selling it is calling it a Kolache (I'm looking at you Shipley), then so shall I.  I'm not going to get into an argument with the HS kid in the drive-thru about how it really isn't a Kolache.

[skipperj 377]

I fully know the difference, but purposely call them kolaches just to piss off the people that care.

[NorthLoop 13930]

Most people that "care" didn't even know what a fucking kolache was 15 years ago. 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21765]

Actually they are called klobasneks, which if you think about it seems like a made up shaggy surly name.

[Vic Mackey 46668]

I'm over 75% Czech so I grew up eating them homemade from my mom's mother. I never had them from stores. I don't care at all if people call a pig and blanket a kolache but it doesn't make sense. If someone was to tell me they have some kolaches for breakfast, I'd be expecting a pastry. Pig and the blankets in Czech are Klobasniky.

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

cool ache, bro.

[Okie State 3696]

Picked up some kolaches from Czech Stop this past weekend so this hits close to home.

You're correct, but...it still looks like shit.

Every book, magazine, newspaper article, and technical paper I have ever read has had justified margins. Why is that? It's because the left justified (right ragged) or whatever else you want to call it looks tacky and unprofessional.

fuck it new Surly business venture a half donut (and other pastry) food trailer by my calculations if we fuck off paying the taxes and give away a few shitty orange "wine" based daiquiris to the customers waiting hours in line on the days we bother to get up early and crank up the fryers we can all be rich in a year or two....if we don't get audited and refrain from stabbing anyone on a bad day and our dick head business partner does not sue us to take our $350,000 fryers and our trailer does not get stolen and we do not have a falling out with family

Girl scout cookies suck, every year we get the news of how good they are. Dont get me started on their sales team, I'm focused on the person who thinks a good cookie is something that sits in a box, in a warehouse, collecting dust for 6 months. They are stale and flavorless.

And every variation has as fresh version with a different name available at 1/2 To 1/3 the price at Wal-Mart. A "friend" buys a whole bunch of them and puts them in the freezer.. no I'm not kidding and no he's not anyone's wife.

What's the name of the purple box at Walmart?

son is at Ft Hood and was making trip back from DFW to post, early one morning.  He knows I work early so he texts me where to stop for breakfast.  Of course I referred him to Czech Stop.

“Dad, I bought 6 so I could bring some to my roommate.  They didn’t make it”

 

lolz.  For the thread, When you have the generosity in your heart, but not the discipline in your appetite...

Fucking this. Same thing with putting the shampoo and soap by the sink and not in the shower.

[52-80 18982]

probably just me but in a car its not obvious whether the temperature gauges are measuring water or oil.  

also, there is no universal convention for the fuel symbol to indicate which side of the car its on.  on some cars, they use the L vs R positioning of the hose and lever.  on some cars, they use a little triangle/arrow next to the tank.  on some, its just blind guessing

I read recently on American cars the side of the gauge that the E is on is the side the tank fill is on

and the temp gauge should measure the water

Conversely, when the towels are inside the shower in a location that is sure to be soaked (or at least unsatisfactorily moistened) through the course of a normal shower, forcing you to find a new spot to store them.
