I'm not saying you should fire a few warning shots, but I would understand.

A few days ago I got a phishing email that slipped into my inbox.  The usual shit that says I forgot to pay my invoice for the Apple iPhone I ordered and just follow the link below to review and pay the invoice.  I just reported it as phishing and moved on. Well, apparently they sent it out to a whole shit load of technologically impaired old people and for the last three days I’ve been getting emails from people that replied all saying they didn’t order an iPhone. Fuck scammers and old people

$1.50 child safety fund fee on my vehicle registration. What the hell is this? And why is it on vehicle registrations?

To pay for people who won't look in their back seats?

Probably already been said, but calling customer service and being asked to verify name, address, account number, whatever else before being connected to a person who then asks me to verify name, address, account number, whatever else only to be told I need to be transferred and then having to verify my name, address, account number, whatever else yet again. Round and round we go.

Makes me want to make everyone involved in creating that system have to go through it. Then I stab them all.

Pregnant pictures.

A young cousin and his girl are having a baby. This mitch just posted pictures of her big ass stomach uncovered and him standing there looking like a damn fool. When the hell did this become a thing? Why is this a thing? I would never allow my kids mom to do some shit like that.

I won't judge your fetish but you don't want to see her. Plus I don't want my family embarrassed. He's already pissy because the family, including his momma, is clowning his ass. 

 

Imagine this after 3 kids already

Multiple tshirt tags.  Put on a tshirt that had like 4 tags, one a 3 incher sticking me in the side.  Thought it was my Uncle Lou.  Wait what?

Some garments and products of mine have like 20 tags stacked one atop another, like in 10 different languages and shit. 
 

If people want to help eliminate waste, theres one

Work tables with walled legs and slide-out keyboard trays might be the worst furniture design in the history of furniture design0D1BD723-F199-47CD-BDF3-0972727DFDA6.thumb.jpeg.db78a50150546b94b88e46d4899f3890.jpeg

 

The needlessly restrictive foot area is also a deal-breaking design flaw. 

Whoever purchased any of that furniture should be thrown through that window, followed shortly by the furniture itself.

The people who drive around on trash day picking up thrown out items.

My neighbor and I have a paved section between our driveways, inside sidewalk, for a nice 8x8. It’s perfect, with a bench, two tables, a foot rest and two chairs. We, and other neighbors use it as a gathering place to catch up and enjoy our libations.

Anyhow, came out trash day morning and those chairs, one table and foot rest are gone. Been there for almost 10 years. Fuck you, trashy ass people!

That’s probably not the junk collector dudes.  That sounds more like straight up theft.

Paid extra money for “express” shipping to get ice skates in just for this weekend. 
 

Theyre arriving Monday and im busy all week. 

We are members of several wine clubs which ship periodically through the year. We now live way out in the sticks in ETX. The deliveries require signature, which means that one of us must be stay at the house all day on the delivery days, waiting for FedEx/ups/USPS guy to show. I think I’m done with that nonsense.

The fact that the Superbowl insists on using roman numerals in its name. 
 

Motherfucker I aint trying to translate numbers when you tell me michael jackson performed at SB XXVII. 
 

In fact, drop the number, just use the calendar year. Who the fuck knows when 27 was?

Motherfuckers who use hotel room alarm clocks but don't make sure to turn them off before checking out, and the housekeepers who don't check for that when making up the room. 

Legitimately don’t remember the last time I’ve seen an alarm clock in a hotel so any budget. Sometime before covid I’m convinced they were all yanked and disposed

49ers put 49 on the chargers with jerry rice catching 3TD but steve gets the mvp. 
‘94 season. That’s my reference but damn i hate to do the math to figure out the year for other SBs.

They stopped for one year, for SB 50, because they didn't want to have a big "L" by itself on the uniform. They should have used that as the pivot to regular numbers from then on. But no, let's cling to the past.

Have it shipped to a local UPS store.  They sign for you and you pick it up on your way home.

ESPN perpetually focusing their website on Tiger Woods when he's 10 shots back, at best, nearly every tournament. Every day it's a new front page update only on him. I don't even follow golf, but it irks me. Focus on the players winning. I guess it's similar to the New York/LA/Boston teams bias.

Any link to lebrons thoughts of tiger being 10 strokes back?

It’s a ratings-driven business. Tiger attracts viewers.

Without the restrictive piece by your feet there would no strength in the desk.  So, mount it in a vertical position between the two legs.  Thus, creating foot room and retaining the strength of the desk.  Can't help with the window.

Had really well-rated moving company come and transfer all our shit across town today. 

The young workers were nice enough, but im discovering now a bunch of our furniture got minor scratches and damage, and some small shit like retaining clips for bookshelves got lost. 

What am I gonna do? call the company and demand $5 for each scratch? Make them search and replace small clips and pins? Fuck no thats petty…..but damn its annoying as hell.

Calculus is difficult. Getting people to understand an intersection with blinking red lights / blinking yellow lights if fucking impossible.
Stop stopping at the fucking blinking yellow and waving everyone thru like you are a fucking traffic cop. You are only making it worse.
4 way stops. Either no one wants to go or everyone wants to go at once. People have zero idea how these work.

That's funny.  I'm going to start doing that when I check out of hotels.  4am sounds good?  yeah, 4 am.

Certain deliveries with UPS can be re-routed to CVS/Walgreens/UPS stores or left with neighbors.

Virtually everyone has a cellphone, upon which they program personal alarms.  Not sure why alarm clocks are even needed any more, but regardless, just unplug the motherfuckers. I usually do it from the jump just to have another outlet.
