Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Jersey Man10 3,800]

It just boggles my mind. It's always a Ford or Chevy truck or SUV. Just cruising along not giving a fuck.

Everyone knows the '86 Honda Magnum is the high horsepower sport package upgrade with the .44 caliber engine.

I can deal with a whole lot of shit, but people in the left lane of a divided highway doing the speed limit or even below the posted speed limit, who will not move over, need to be fucking blown off the road with a pair of front bumper mounted .50 cal chain guns.

^^^^^^^^  I just wish the DPS knew that this was a fine.  Kidding aside, they likely just dont care.

You could fund a city gov't for a whole year on those fines... in the first week of enforcement....

I, like most, cant stand texting and driving even tho we're all guilty of it time to time.

 

But if you're going to text at a red light, dont hold your phone above your steering wheel so the entire world can see what you're illegally doing. Morons

Not illegal to text at a red light in Austin.

 

My trivial thing for the day is people on the radio (looking at you NPR) who have fucking lisps.  I'm sorry, but we don't have ugly people on TV, for the most part, and we damn well shouldn't have people on the radio who talk with a lisp.

I've never seen it. Someone needs to tell them that actually makes them a worse driver. 

Especially when the person waiting to pull out at the cross street thinks they are actually turning.

People at work who somehow have a doctor's appointment at 4:00 almost every Friday and leave at 3:00. They inevitably schedule it at noon the same day. I'm calling bullshit.

Or when the traffic tie-up is passed and people keep driving 25. Suddenly I'm with four other cars sharing three lanes at 65 mph and there's this mass of yutzes fading into the distance in my rear view mirror, holding up the people behind them.

I get annoyed by these rest stops that don't  have any bathrromms.  "Picnic stops " or whatever they're  called.  Who stops for a meal and doesn't need to at least take a piss?

Holy shit, this. Some podcasts I listen to occasionally have guests with lisps. I delete that shit the instant I hear it.

publishers are cheap.  when you need to print it millions of times per day, the extra ink actually adds up to something.

[NeverMarryAStripper 22,294]

I object to the use of 6-1/3.  One out is not necessarily 1/3 of an inning.  His out might have taken only one pitch and the rest of the inning could have taken an hour as the other team bats around twice.

The problem with this law is that means it is illegal to drive in the left lane unless you ARE passing.

They busted a guy last week on IH35 for driving in the left lane while not passing and he turned out to be hauling a shit load of drug cash and got busted for that too.

Of course they look for any reason to pull these "suspicious " people over looking for drug mules but it also means they can pull your ass over too.

I treat this law like I do the whole no alcohol in public parks thing. It’s the way to deal with assholes while maintaining credibility that it’s not just cause they are being assholes

You're at a place with a pickup counter (fast food, Starbucks, etc) and the pick up area has six or seven people backed up in line waiting for their shit.

Along comes a dude who literally just placed his order. They call a number or a name. He immediately goes over to the counter and starts rifling through shit to see if that's his order.

Yeah dude, you're such a fuckin VIP superstar that your meal was magically prepared before everyone else's. Get your filthy fucking paws off my shit. I don't understand how people aren't capable of looking around for half a second and thinking.

Reminds me of loading an airplane.

The procedure hasn't changed in 20 fucking years. If you aren't a "prime" airline member or in first class, you don't need to run to the front. You're just in the fucking way.

[Jersey Man10 3,800]

When they mess up and give my order to the guy in front of me at the drive thru (literally handing the bag to them), they notice its wrong and give it back to the employee. I end up pulling up and they give me the same disgusting bag with God knows what on it.

[El Diablo 4,232]

You're at a drive-thru, bruh. There's a good chance it was disgusting before that random nonemployee stuck their paws on it.

Even when I sit first class, I am usually one of the last ones on the plane.  I don't get the rush.  I prefer to spend as little amount of time as possible on a commercial airplane.

Less of an issue when in first, but securing overhead bin space and arm rest dominance are reasons why I often board asap. Or if there's something work related that's time sensitive - specifically, if I need to fire off an email before facing unreliable WiFi in the air (also a consideration when I intend to unplug but may later need to blame my non-responsiveness on the WiFi...)

Is everyone in America just too stupid or lazy to do their job?  My homeowner's insurance is up for renewal and I want to switch carriers.  I get a quote for the new carrier and give them my mortgage information so they can send them the new policy information.  My mortgage company tells me that if I want to switch carriers that I need to pay the premium on the new policy up front.  What the fuck have I been paying into my escrow account for then you stupid motherfucker, so you can send me my money back in six months when I'm way over funded.  Fuck you you ignorant lazy piece of shit.

[NeverMarryAStripper 22,294]

Fuck all mortgage companies.  It doesn't matter who you take out a mortgage with, once they sign you up you get passed around like a drunk stripper at a frat party.

That sounds horrible. This year I have traveled a fuck ton for work. I get the overhead space maybe but being early on the plane sucks. However I am always group 5 or 6 so I don't have a choice.

Getting stuck behind some mom at  the soft drink / tea self-serve station and ma, at the insistence of her 3 year old, 2 foot tall daughter, lets girl try and fill her own 44 oz soft drink cup full of ice and then Coke.  

Through all the “ooh, what a big girl” cheerleading there’s ice on the floor, Fanta strawberry spilled everywhere and an 8 person back up.  

Just get the dang drink for her, woman.
