Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Hugh G. Rection 156]

When we deplane, the fuckers who stand up first get off first, right?

That’s correct. And the closer you get to the baggage carousel the quicker your bag arrives. It’s most helpful when you have at least one foot on it.

Faulty windows updates that destroy your computer.

Not trivial.

I have been fortunate to be able to recover from every Windows update fuck up, but an iOS update bricked my iPad.  Even the nerds at the Apple store couldn’t get it running again so it sits on a shelf collecting dust.  I’m going to crack that fucker open one of these days just for shits and giggles.

I have a Vizio smart TV. Happy with the quality to cost ratio. When I use the Netflix or YouTube apps and want to exit to watch cable tv, no problem. But if I am watching amazon prime and try to exit I have to hit the exit button what seems like no less than 37 fucking times to get out of that goddamn app. I feel like I am going through the procedure to launch a thermonuclear warhead from a bunker in Nebraska.

It always seems like if I run into two people doing stupid "I'm confused, everyone else bear with me" shit on the road early on in my commute, it's somehow a bird call for every other confused driver in Austin to pull out somewhere along the road in front of me, slow to 10 mph in the middle lane, and then try and turn left.  Or "I got my front wheels in the turn lane, so I is in the turn lane!".  Or "the guy in the right lane is putting his hazards on to slow down and unload in front of this building, better come to a complete stop next to him.  hey left lane friend, I see you are also frightened and stopping."

I have the opposite problem. Have to push the amazon button on the remote like twenty times to get it launched.

I spent two days working on getting my windows to boot, after many hours of reading, attempting different methods and downloading repair/install discs. Finally got it fixed...knock on wood.

But there's just no excuse for hat kind of bullshit. Now every update request scares the living crap out of me.

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.

Motherfucker parked in between two pumps at a busy gas station. He was getting air for his tires, so blocking two gas pumps and not getting any gas. The air hose was 3 feet from the gas pump and instead of lining up his rear wheels he lined up the middle of his vehicle. When he was done he sat on his phone for several minutes without moving. When I a tapped his window and asked if he could move up a few feet so I could get the hose from the pump behind him to reach my tank he acted like I was the asshole. Line of cars six deep on each aisle of pumps and I'm the asshole for asking you not to take up two at once while you let Facebook know your tire pressure? Fuck that guy.

[WhatTheBuck 28700]

Who puts air pumps next to the gas pumps? Is that station 50 years old?

But yeah, fuck that guy. 

[Vic Mackey 46914]

Yeah I only see air pumps off to the side. Nowhere near the pumps.

[SilasCoade 2620]

That little white rectangle near the middle is the air. I've never seen a setup like this either, but the hose was easily long enough to reach all four tires with the rear tires pulled even to it.

Or, the fast food restaurants (I'm looking at you, Canes on MLK) that don't put the lids and straws right next to the drink station, rather put condiments in between them.  Fill your cup, wait for the person pouring 47 ounces of ketchup on their plate, then you can get to the lids and straws.

Seriously, I've never seen a gas station ever with that setup for the air compressor.  Was it designed by an aggy?

Coworkers on Monday morning. I'm hungover you fuckstick so no, I don't give a fat fuck what little Johnny and janey rotten crotch did at their cuntarded soccer matches this weekend.

Went to the store and bought only a gallon of milk. Before I even think about it she’s putting it in a fucking bag. The fucking jug has a handle. It’s all I’m buying. The bag could break whereas the handle will not. Make someone ask for a bag in that situation. And fuck you if you want a bag for that. The planet’s fucked either way but maybe delay it a bit in that situation?

Not so trivial but the shit show on SWA flights that is called the preboard group... flight last week had 40 passengers preboard, not exaggerating. Olds, crippleds, fats, and the real kicker, families with kids that had to have been at least 6 yrs old in multiple cases. This is before A group. 

I get crippleds, olds, and A parent with a toddler/baby where they gotta get setup, but fat ain't crippled and school age kids with both parents and siblings is shit

Family boarding is after A, and before B. Also I sure as fuck don’t want my six year old sitting alone. I’d say 16 is the cutoff. The only pre A seating I’ve ever seen is military.

[bluto 4872]

This was damn well before A, then after A was active duty servicemen.

Are you sure that wasn't Southbest Airlines or some shady knockoff?  I've flown SWA a lot and have never seen family boarding before A, and never before military.  I was with my young kids too so it's not like I haven't been paying attention.

If that really happened, you might call corporate and report it because that's not their policy.

https://www.southwest.com/html/generated/help/faqs/boarding_the_plane_faq.html

Do families get to preboard?

An adult traveling with a child six years old or younger may board during Family Boarding, which occurs after the “A” group has boarded and before the “B” group begins boarding. If the child and the adult are both holding an “A” boarding pass, they should board in their assigned boarding position.

I would have no qualms about parking in that spot even if I were alone.  Teach your fucking kid to walk through a parking lot without getting hit.  It's not difficult.

Yeah, infants, car seats, pregnant wives... Park your fat ass in the back of the lot and walk it off.  There's a reason it's SUPPOSED to be for expecting mothers and families with infants.

Out for recess.  This broad has been pacing back and forth in the seating area for 30 gdamn mins now.  High heels, hard floor, not attractive for those wondering. 

I heard her tell someone that she's sorry but feels the need to walk.  Well walk your annoying ass outside and stop bothering those of us seeking a respite.

there isn't one fucking parking meter within a 3-block radius of the Capitol Complex that takes credit cards.   Not even the old-school upright kind that at least were retrofitted to take cards along with change.  Not any of that shit.  Just one fucking coins-only machine after another.  Sorry I don't roll with a fucking roll of quarters to every damn Legislative meeting.  I can't help but think it's not a big fuck-you from the City of Austin to the those right-wingers up in the Capitol.
