Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[MNLonghornFUKM 8781]

When you're making a left hand turn onto a semi busy 2 way street so you wait what seems like forever for an opening when some turd that's across the road from you needs to go straight and A) goes making you miss the opening because you need to yield to them or even worse B) doesn't go making both of you wait longer not knowing what the other person is going to do at the next convenient opening.


Think i explained that clearly. It works in my head

The hardest 6 months of my life was when I didn't have status and would have to fight to check-in at the exact, earliest moment as possible to try get the best seat available. Sitting in the middle or back of the plane in steerage on a consistent basis was very humbling. I'd never been so humbled and shamed and questioned the decisions of my life--and really the very fabric of my existence-- than the one time I had a middle seat from ORD seated next to an obese man who farted the entire flight. 

Your will love retirement, with no business mileage status to prop up your sense of worth.  The comedown is healthy, at least I keep telling myself that.

Why are the keys hanging on your d?  Seems like an odd way to show scale.

When you're bidding a $1.35 million project, and the customer says, "We like your pricing, we like your prior work with us, etc. etc.  But we just aren't comfortable with XYZ sub.  Can you reprice to ABC sub that happens to be $175K higher?"

Then the customer comes back and says, "Um, we're in a budgetarily constrained environment.  What discounts can you offer us?"

Total lack of trash cans at hotels.  I usually grab something to eat and bring it back knowing the only trash can in the entire hotel is outside in parking lot. Too classy to just toss the pizza box or whatever in hallway

When the jehovas witness housekeeper moves max and allie (our home’s two (yes 2) elfs on the shelf) while cleaning because testigos de jehovah don’t understand Christmas for shit, and then after a suck day at work I have to explain to my kids why even though someone broke the cardinal rule and touched the elves, we’re probably ok and the magic is intact.

dammit.

That is me, not because I can't and I will do a reverse into the spot if someone is waiting. Rather, if no one is around my OCD takes over for a perfect parking job.

Don't want to end up on the parking asshole thread.

And the whole "bench player who leans forward and holds his arms out to keep the entire team from storming the court after a relatively routine play" phenomenon. 

Fuck that guy. 

[deadshank 24644]

defensive players flexing their muscles after EVERY tackle is tiresome.  

5 yards behind the LOS: flex 'em

at the LOS: pump 'em up

37 yards down field after a lucky shoestring tackle: full body flex to the point of aneurysm.

Adding on, guys who make the throw the flag gesture after getting defensed on a pass, and guys who celebrate like they won the Super Bowl after a first down play. 

Oh, and Oklahoma and USC having their band play their fanfare after every frikkin play. 

Teams that ring a bell whenever the other team has a third down.

Ring a bell? Are you referring to playing the intro to Hell's Bells by AC/DC?

"Adding on, guys who make the throw the flag gesture after getting defensed on a pass"

This should be an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty since you are basically showing up the ref.

Again, you show your ass. HE was going to baggage claim to get his bag. WE did carry ons and passed by him to go out to leave in an Uber.  That was the whole point of my post. HE was trying to quickly get off to then wait around for a bit to get a bag. But nice try on your gotcha post. Was coming home from DC and Philly. You would've hated it. There's lots of minorities up there.

As a fan, when my team does something big and acts all no big deal, all day every day, I fucking love it.

When the other team does it, I fucking hate it.

I'm not bothered by celebration of big plays, but agree on the bullshit, hey, a tackle after a 5 yard gain and first down celebration... Fuck that.

Acting calm, no fucks given that we just sacked you for a 15 yard lost, or calm as fuck after an interception... Full wood.

Yeah, a big play a little celebration is cool, but today players celebrate like they won the lottery after tackling a guy who caught a 15 yd pass, and they got burned on the caught pass.

[Walden Ponderer 12638]

I always got the impression the other team was a little deflated, watching Earl hand the ball to the referee after he'd just bulldozed them into submission.
