Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Incredulity 11,665]

People who record pretty much anything.  The cellphones in the air at every event are a blight on society.

Anyone have any statistics on how much of what John Q Citizen records ever gets viewed?  Or viewed after 2 weeks?

[Okie State 3,818]

I don't record anything except when my kids are doing something funny. I do go back and watch those.

[Jameslaw121 4,448]

Anyone use Amazon Prime Photos? There is an app that will show you what pictures you took on this day in the previous years. I don't take that many pictures, but it is pretty cool to look at pics of my kid from the last couple of years every morning

People who do this at concerts are the worst. Do people not realize the sound they are hearing in person is not going to replicated worth a damn through their phone? Just enjoy the show and take some pics. I guarantee you no one is watching your phone recorded video clips of that concert.

I do and agree it's cool. Always have random stuff popping up that I forgot about.

Mine doesn't do this. Is there a setting that has to be activated?

[Celery Man 20,934]

Or Google photos.  I can type "Kevin" in the search bar and see every picture of my dog I've taken in the past 2 years.

[Okie State 3,818]

Is Timehop free backup cloud storage? That's what I used Prime Photos for.

The back up cloud storage is why I got it originally. The rediscover app was just an added bonus. I'm sure there are alot of apps that do that also. This is just the one I use

This goes for the drive thru as well.

If there is a woman directly in front of you be prepared to wait. It will take them ten minutes to figure out what they want and order it.

And then order it with all condiments "on the side."

The guy in the F350 who decides to back into his parking space at Total Wine on a Saturday afternoon when the place is absolutely packed.  I’m generally ok with this move if it’s not peak hours, you are proficient at backing up, and can nail it on the first attempt.  But when you turn this questionable practice into a complete clusterfuck of inconsideration to your fellow citizens by taking 5 minutes to execute a 13-point turn and make the parking lot look like the opening scene from Armegeddon when the asteroids are coming down, you can go fuck yourself.

No, but he wasn’t touting the free backup cloud storage. Timehope will pull FB, Twitter, and Insta, among others, and present a summary of that day for you in years past.

[Knoxtnhorn 5,974]

I was with a couple of friends in an F350 in Ft. Worth on Sat.  He backed in and has an F350.  I don't recall him taking very long but it'd be funny if you were talking about the same guy.

should've considered buying the "12 pack of 24 actual rolls" of paper towels, instead of the "24 pack of 36 actual rolls" of paper towels

Yeah fuck these mother fuckers. 90% of them cannot park or drive.

A lot of places have parking spaces for compacts so I suggest they create parking spaces for "oversized" vehicles and make them as far from the front door as possible.

Should we put them farther out or closer than the obese parking spots?

Put them all out there.

Also these people that have the disabled vet license plates I see park in the handicap spot that are clearly not disabled in any way at all.

 

[Celery Man 20,934]

My aunt would painfully walk through parking lots while her feet were covered in burns from the radiation treatment for the cancer that eventually killed her because people were mean to her when she parked in a handicapped spot and got out of the car with no visible disabilities.  If they have a placard, shut the fuck up.

On a related note, ever sat for hours in line for the Port Bolivar to Galveston ferry in the 2-3 lines that don't move and notice that last "medical pass" line that always keeps moving?

Wouldn't matter. The driver would cram the truck in and take up two spaces anyway.

Not trivial, but my job.

The worst is when they lift the truck two feet in the air but leave the factory tires on similar to this.

“Compact car only” and “Fuel efficient and low emitting vehicles only” spots used to make me surly. But I now have enough scratches and door dings on my truck that I can comfortably wedge it right in there barely within the lines by with a smile and no worries. Fuck those parking spot designations.

Those are the very people that were taking her spot.

They have the "Electric Vehicle" parking out at Walnut Creek / Havins fields in North Austin.  I think of all the times I've been out there since they were installed, I've seen 2, maybe 3 electric cars plugged in, while there are cars having to park in the grass since they are afraid of getting ticketed.  Now, how many time's I've seen non-electric vehicles park there, I definitely lost count.

How are you able to tell?

 

Also, not sure if it was unclear - she passed up empty handicapped spots because she didn't like it when people were mean to her.  She was a special ed elementary school teacher, very kind lady, absolutely hated people making her feel like she was bad.

Don't get me surly about handicap spaces. Fat does not equal handicapped. Your fatass should be parking FARTHER away from the store. YOU NEED TO WORK OFF THAT FAT.

Same with the fatass that is using the electric cart at HEB blocking the whole aisle with the cart and their fat.

Yup - have a friend of mine that took a road side bomb in Iraq. Has a whole lot of metal in his legs from it. Wouldn't be able to tell when he gets out of the car, but after about 100 feet of walking its pretty obvious.

Trust me....I understand this but the people I observed were in no way in any kind of discomfort. They were abusing the situation big time.

No matter what I typed (slut, butt abuse, pink sock, etc), it returned pics of your mom.

We need a thread for shit that makes you very surly and you want to whoop a muthafucka ass. But won't...

 

Someone's dog is pissing in my yard. Now I'm in the wrong, if I shoot the lil bastard. But, don't piss in my yard. I do not let my dog disrespect other yards. I expect the same.
