Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1669]

Tables or chairs that have uneven legs and are wobbly. My wife making it a point to announce every single time how little it bothers her, ratchets up the surly to 11.

Reverse sexual discrimination in the workplace.  And office place.  

Retail fashion workers who always try to upsell me.  "These pants look like they would fit better on you.  No they're not on sale"

All 20 Six Flags Fiesta Texas guests, previously stuck on a rollercoaster, have been safely rescued, according to a park spokesperson.

Jeff Filicko, Six Flags Fiesta Texas marketing and communications manager, issued the following statement to KSAT about the rescue:

At approximately 11:54 AM, the Poltergeist coaster stopped in the middle of a ride cycle.

In cooperation with the San Antonio Fire Department, we safely escorted all twenty guests from the ride.

There are no reports of any injuries.

The safety of our guests is our highest priority, and the ride will remain closed while we complete a full inspection.

Yeah, I’m not reading a Twitter thread. Start a blog or get an op-ed published. I might not read that either but I’m not reading a Twitter thread.

Also, there ought to be a setting where anyone who makes ten consecutive posts that are just embedded tweets automatically goes on my ignore list. I know where Twitter is. If I wanted to join it and follow anyone, I would. I don’t need you to be my filter for things you find interesting on Twitter. Here’s an idea — try coming up with your own thoughts and posting those.

My dog recently decided that she would only shit on my patio. It's her new morning routine.

Having a nice 3 day weekend to get things around the house done and you have the pressure washer ready to go and find no O ring in the quick connect for the nozzles.  Water going sideways  instead of forward.  
 

I see a trip to The Home Creepo in my future.

Ask your husband to get you an o-ring from the kit he should have in the garage.

If only there were some way to train a dog to behave the way you want them to behave. 

[Okie State 3767]

You're right. I'll just ask her why she decided to start doing this after ten years of shitting in the yard.

Or you could take the opportunity to correct her behavior. Your dog is who you allow her to be. If you think you’re powerless in the relationship then maybe her shitting on your patio is a sign of disrespect. 

[NeverMarryAStripper 21780]

GMaybe she finally realized what a pain in the ass it is for you to have to go around the yard picking up her shit so she decided to shit where it will be easy to clean up

You’re right. My bad. A dog owner’s refusal to train their dog probably isn’t trivial.

But you could always buy a leash and take her for a walk. And not one of those 16 foot retractable leashes. It’s been my observation that everyone who uses one of those is a shitty dog owner.

That’s probably also not trivial.

I have a co-worker that is a conspiracy nut. DO NOT mention anything that could remotely be connected to 9/11. He'll list off a dozen theories why it didn't happen the way we all saw it happen live. The more you try to reason with him, the harder into the paint he drives. The best I can do is distract him.

Fuck that. Tell him he’s an idiot. We know the flight numbers. We know all the passengers who died. We know who the terrorists were, where they trained, and how they were funded. I have no patience for these morons and I’m not afraid of confrontation. If he brings up 7 World Trade Center, ask him if he’s ever been there. Remind him that they’re not separate structures and there were massive levels of infrastructure connecting everything under street level including a huge shopping mall and then a subway station below that. Call him out for being the fool that he is.

Grrrrr. That shit still gets my dander up. 

[Paper_jam 828]

Fucking toothbrushes. I'm trying to find a basic, but quality, toothbrush just like you used to be able to get from Oral B (or possibly Reach) in the 1970s-1990s. I don't want it to look like an athletic shoe. I don't want a big chonky rubber-coated handle that won't fit in a traditional toothbrush holder. I don't want exotic color-changing bristles made out of carbon fiber or organic spider silk.  I do want to be able to pick the size of the head as they all seem to be giant or tiny without enough specific sizes. Why do manufacturers take devices that have already been perfected and fuck them up in ways nobody asked for?

This is it exactly. Co-workers are the worst. Predominantly a female workforce so to be expected I guess but many men also. Ffs, yes or no. Noncommittal fucks.

Go to CPR training and the boss says it will only take a couple of hours but we get paid for 4. The gotdam instructor keeps yapping until its exactly 4 hours, then passes the completion sheet which takes another 15 minutes.

Pretty irrational, but I hate it when I see several other cars or people going right where I’m going.

About to walk into checkout line, and then 4 families walk right in front of you to get in line before you. Or about to pull into drive thru line and the 3 cars in front of you are also going there and get in front of you.

Look for the stickers on the back window.  If they have 9 family members represented, get in the other lane.
