Uhh, sir, corporate HR would like a word with you 1. for uttering that christian mans name (offending our aetheists, Muslins and Buddhists) and 2. for using that saviors name in vain...  They're gone have an ask session with you

Yeah, definitely glad I was able to escape corporate America.  Sometimes I'm jealous of the hours, but I couldn't handle that environment for long.  It takes a certain strength to put up with that and not fucking murder everyone.

People who put their briefcase, small bags or jackets in the overhead bin.  I had to check my carryon last night from Chicago because of this.  Inconsiderate pricks.

If it's the only thing I'm carrying, sorry man, that's my space. I'm not screwing with my leg room.

[Vic Mackey 47151]

I don't even know what this means.

Yeah I've never heard anyone say this or use 'ask' as a noun.

My wife uses the word "text" as a past tense verb. "I text my sister, she said she was blah blah". Rage.

I’ll gate check my bag on every flight for the rest of my life if it means no bullshit emotional support animals within 5 rows of me.

You sure they didn't mean ass session?  Because I've had lots of those.  And at the end of the day, net-net, going forward...it's top notch.

[MissingInAction 25187]

When some dipshit, usually a worthless middle management twat, says "Why didn't you think of that?" when I make a mistake. What kind of passive aggressive cuntery is this? I always respond, "Because I didn't".

When you can't find an appropriate difficulty level on a sports video game. One level you're running for 400 yards and winning 49-7, the next level you're lucky to score 14 and win by 1. I don't want to play around with the sliders but I guess that's all I got.

I agree with both of you. I hate the pricks that throw two bags up, but if I'm just carrying the laptop bag, and I'm in for the bad movie, I'll throw it up - still only taking up one spot. This time of year, the jackets are the worst. Last flight some jackass put is coat up there ... my roller went on top of it.

drives me nuts. i realize two syllables are so damn hard, but nothing wrong with "request." every meeting at my old shop was "do you have any asks?" I always wanted to say, "yes. grammar lessons for the group please."

Once on a flight to Boston I was seated early on a full flight, some jackass across from me had stuffed his big parka and another jacket in the overhead.  Another guy with a carry-on stopped at his seat, opened the overhead door and promptly pulled that shit out and threw it in the aisle.  I vacillated between laughing and cheering.  Strangely enough nobody said shit.  Jackass just picked up his stuff and held it.

I've always wanted to see that. For some reason - I think it reflects the city - BOS has the worst travelers (the incident I referenced was to BOS). And nowhere else do so many group 5-8 people stand and block 20 minutes before the gate opens. F/As do not have to do much ... I wish they would do a better job policing that crap. I'm sure I've been That Guy on occasion but man there are a bunch of idiots on planes.

I will cut off a testicle if I ever use "ask" as a noun like that. Fucking California corporatespeak.

Throwing it on the floor was a total dick move. The proper response was, hey not to be a dick, but the over head is for baggage, do mind if I move your stuff over or can you put it somewhere else please.  Or just let the flight attendant handle it, cause that's their, you know, job.

Yeah I agree it was a dick move, but it was funny and I was surprised fisticuffs didn't result.

Seriously ... I'm generally non-confrontational and take the passive aggressive approach. If someone leans back into me, I do not say anything but flip boogers in their hair all flight.

Great one. I also want the stats to be reasonable. I don’t want myself or the CPU to throw for 650 and run for 12.

I’m not sure if this one is on me or not but one thing that makes me surly is when you are trying to coordinate with someone or get a call scheduled, the person says “my calendar is up to date”. 

Yes, I imagine it is, if you have any degree of organization, but what it means is basically “I’m too lazy to give you any open windows of times/dates for you to choose from so go open up a shared calendar and wait for it to load and do the leg work for me thnx”

It’s especially annoying when the person is wide open. And they are the one requesting the meeting. 😐

Eh...yeah, that’s me. I’m busy enough for a pretty full calendar but not important enough for a full time admin.

Sorry.

With lemon is better, but not necessary.

Has to be actual lemon though.  A diet sweet tea with artificial flavoring is pure trash.

Actual lemon unless Whataburger.  Those lemon juice packets aren’t terrible.

Lemon juice would be fine.  What I'm opposed to is some kind of diet sweetener/artificial lemon flavoring like you see with prepackaged bottled tea.

Freezing my ass off at the gas pump this morning:

Pick up pump and insert my CC

Debit or Credit?

Zip Code?

Receipt?

Do you want a car wash?

How about some overpriced fuel additives?

Are you sure?

Do you love this shit?

Are you high right now?

Do you ever get nervous?

Are you single?

My office has two floors, each with a men's room and a ladies.  For the last 5 years, the cleaning person was female so once or twice a day she'd clean the bathrooms.  This meant that every once in a while I'd find my floor's restroom closed while the woman was inside cleaning.  This meant I had to suffer the inconvenience of going down a flight of stairs are waiting 10 or 15 minutes.  Cleaning person recently changed to a man now the ladies' room is briefly closed for cleaning once or twice a day.  This apparently set off a firestorm of complaints from unnamed chicks because inconvenience to them.

I want to find these people and hit them over their heads with a vodka bottle.

Was the cleaning woman pretty hot?

[Hanrahan 1306]

She was decidedly not.

[NorthLoop 14248]

Our cleaning ladiesLOVE to hit the bathrooms right at the time when most of us are leaving. Sucks when you need to pee and have a somewhat long commute coming up.

but isn't this where you want it? an even difficulty level. it's makes you a better player to get a challenge, makes you feel better when you do win.

Fifteen items or less.

I was told there would be no math.

[HenryJames 66171]

Thirty one items. I counted. Including multiple bags of produce that they didn’t weigh and price. So the cashier had to. 

This isnt ‘Nam. There are rules.
