People in reverse that aren't moving.  Especially if I am behind them at a light.  The fuckers that sit in parking spots in reverse can go to hell.

This one kills me as well.  Whatever manufacturer decided to put the reverse lights on when in park can also smd.  I forget which one it is (Chevy?), but I think they don't do it anymore.

But there's no greater feeling than taking my car out of reverse when I see someone else backing up and getting a wave from them.  It's not just a 'thank you for letting me go first' it's a 'thank you for having a clue.'

Christmas makes me surly.  The whole fucking thing.  It now starts before Halloween and lasts three months.  I hate the stupid music.  I hate fucking eggnog. I hate the fucking shopping.  I hate giving and getting presents.  I hate Santa clause and his fucking elves.  Rudolf can bite me.  And I hope the rest of the reindeer get molested by aggy.  I hate putting up fucking decorations and then fucking taking them down.  What's the fucking point.  Christmas trees are a giant fucking drain on the ecosystem.  No I don't enjoy looking at the fucking lights on your house, we'll be lucky if you don't cause the entire Texas power grid to fail.  In short fuck Christmas.

Fucking oil change place broke my glove box taking out the cabin air filter to try and up sell me.  Of course they didn’t bother to tell me.  They let me find out by having all my shit fall in the floor the next time I opened the glove box

Not trivial.  My pickup is configured that way.  First time I saw dude open the passenger side door, I tapped on the glass from the waiting room,’ There’s nothing in there for you.’  He nodded in acknowledgment at least.

On one hand, I was slightly impressed the 20-something knew where to look, but on the other it’s not cool to be using my vehicle as a magical margin enhancer.  If you’re not careful with that whole assembly, it easily gets fucked up. I just tell them oil and filter only.  I like doing the other shit on my own, anyhoo.

But you do agree that Die Hard is a Christmas movie, right?

People who fill out government forms that ask for your county of residence and they put "USA" because fuck reading, I guess.

Went to a burger place where you order and pay on a touchscreen, pour your own drink, they call your name that you type in and you pick up your food. And you bus your own tray.

And the screen asked for a tip.

 

Ordered something online, not from amazon, and at checkout it asked for a tip.

calendar apps that dont allow you to set the Start of Week day.

monday is the start of the week.  thats why Sat and Sun are called the weekend.  i mean, im not using an islamic calendar damnit im using western apps.

I know it's weird, but Friday is my start of the week. I rarely take live meetings on Fridays and use it for paperwork and to schedule all my meetings for the next week. It also gives me time to figure out what house/yard stuff I need to get done on Saturday and Sunday after knowing what family/friends plans we might have. So I can easily figure out when I'm going to get shit I need done without missing family stuff. 

So everything I have is set to Friday, except the fitness tracker on my watch........It bugs the shit out of me

If you shoot the shit with any checkout person while others are waiting on you, just know that those of us in line are praying you get food poisoning. Order your shit and then fuck off. They’re not your friend. 
Old people do this a lot in my experience. Maybe they don't have any other human interaction in their day to day?

Yeah, this shit has officially gotten out of hand.  The person receiving the tip literally does nothing but flip the screen around to you and this particular restaurant does not pool tips.  I poured my own drink, I grabbed my own food, I served myself, bussed my own table, and left.  And he gets 20% because he can reposition an iPad and the Hispanic dudes in the kitchen get nothing?  I've fucking had it.  I am a very generous tipper.  20% was the bare minimum for a server/bartender/driver.  I'd often go 30%+ for just 'very good' service, not even excellent.  But now, every single fucking business from coffee to sandwich pickup starts at 20% and half of them don't pool, the asshat up front keeps most of it while the muscle in the back gets stiffed.  Complete bullshit.  /yellsatcloudCSB

Fuck that.  I straight up change it to zero so they can fucking see it.  Did it at the airport yesterday when I bought a water and some mints for fucking $9.  I don't tip counter help.  That's just fucking stupid.  They are literally just sitting there...doing nothing.

Subway cashier (yeah I know) told me that everybody on the clock at the time split the touchpad tip.

The tipping culture in this country is getting out of control.

My former barber said he doesn't believe barbers should be tipped and didn't care if you didn't tip him. But it was embedded in everyone to tip in that industry.

I know many places do and I think that’s a good thing to share with back of house.  But there are many business types and franchises that don’t do that for myriad reasons.  That’s what I’m sick of.

Sitting in the media room watching a movie. Lights tuned exactly as they should be. 

Wife comes in, "looking for something" and turns the lights on. Doesn't find it ("why don't you look where it's supposed to be?" /tone). Leaves room, leaves lights on. 

Sigh. Pause movie and turn the lights off. Sit back down and resume film. 

Daughter enters the room, turns lights on. "Oh, I didn't think anyone was in here... Have you seen my (thing wife was looking for)?" 

"Nope. Your mom already looked in here. Have you looked where it's supposed to be?" 

Daughter rolls eyes, leaves room, leaves lights on. 

Sigh.

When I scroll down on the mouse wheel and the screen scrolls up.

Who are these animals who use it this way?

 

 

And while we’re at it, I have my iPad plugged into my docking station so I can use the keyboard and mouse. The mouse scroll wheel is doing what I’m bitching about. Anyone know how to change fix it?

to clarify- when I roll the wheel downwards, or towards my wrist, the text on the screen goes upward.  That's from years of videogames predating the wheel( on the mouse.)

That GM crap drives me nuts.  It's always in some busy parking lot some soccer mom twat with 1.5 kids and a Suburban XL unlocks her crap from half way across the parking lot, and by the time you realize what's happened, she rolls up completely oblivious what's going on and takes her damn sweet time loading up her future child support checks.  

 

After taking the family out to Burnet last night for the Main Street Bethlehem, my two biggest triggers got me on the edge of going postal last night. 

1. Turn off your brights, asshole.  It's the dead of night in backwoods Burnet county, and your freaking LED lights just blinded me and 5 other cars for the next two minutes.

2. If you ever think your life is a waste of time, just remember: someone is paid at TxDOT to put up the signs that say "Left Lane is for Passing ONLY".  Looking at the 71 drivers...

Right there with you... with the new LED projection bulbs, they're brighter at the start as well. When I walk the Wonder Dog in the neighborhood (very wooded, no streetlights), I appreciate people actually using their headlights to avoid hitting us (even with the dog's light up collar, it always feels like a 50/50 bet). But the bright lights are the worst...

My solution is an EDC flashlight with "turbo" mode that I can flash for a second before returning to "walking the dog" brightness. Most folks get the drift and drop their lights (or the lights auto-correct as if it were another vehicle)... and if they don't, I can always switch to "strobe" mode (not directed towards their vehicle, just as a visual reminder that there are other people out here).

those people should be hauled in for questioning.

that's scrolling down.  because your view is now further down the document.

Why the fuck does every smartphone camera rotate my photos when it thinks I'm "too close" to the photo's subject? So tired of having to manually rotate the pics to where they were when I took the pic. Motherfucker, I took the pic as the distance I desired, your job is to just record the image. So dumb, there is no justifiable reason for this.

Looking at the Victoria’s Secret website for some lingerie for the wife.

Maybe 1 out of 3 are VS models we love and remember. The others have BMIs that only @Vic Mackey would love. There’s also amputee in the line up.

 

I guess they’re trying to be representative of the population, but not what I want to see at 6AM on the crapper.
