Shit that annoys you

Neighbor that lives a few houses down an single lane dirt road easement through our property drives insanely fast dish the easement. Other neighbors say he frequently drives drunk. When walking his dog, he yells at other people to slow down on the two lane neighborhood paved road. Wtf?

We have a drainage diversion that doubles as a speed bump at one end of the easement. Said neighbor incessantly complains about the bump. He can't seem to understand that the drainage protects my adjacent neighbors property and the dirt/gravel road.

The mfr wants to pave the easement.

I am thinking about placing another speed bump, but would prefer not to inconvenience the four other neighbors.

Kinda like those flashing speed signs.
It’s always tempting to set a new personal record.

There's a road I walk the dogs down, that ends in a cul-de-sac where a walking trail begins. Every single yard has one of those signs right up to the second to last house. Really, they should just have one giant arrow with "he's the asshole" painted on it.

Ha that's f'n great. I've seen a similar thing on a cul-de-sac near me, but there wasn't enough signs to figure out what house it's aiming for.

I'm a little grumpy because an interstate entrance near us closed down for 2 months and all the assholes are now going through our neighborhood trying to find a shortcut to the next entrance. And sidewalks are rare around me so I'm walking on streets with all this new traffic. So are my young kids.

Shitty street design is the real problem, all assholes need to be filtered away by design and we need sidewalks

I went on Newschoolers earlier, and tried to read some threads. I honestly have no fucking idea what they are saying about anything at all.

You lose some functionality but make up for it in easier interfaces, and not being on the hook for email servers. Gmail is also 1000% better than outlook.

Accurate even for the tech savvy. MSFT is awful.

We played road hockey on friends streets all the time when we were young. My kids play in the street in front of our house all the time.

Heavily dependent on the street.

I am onboard with everything except sheets and slides. Hot hot hot garbage. My brain is hardwired in excel formulas and they don't bloody work in sheets.

I always just assumed that Microsoft shit was job security for IT people

Nah, slides is great. I live in slides for work pitches and if I have to use PowerPoint or keynote I get into a murdery mood.

Same. We're full G-Suite across the enterprise. There's no way I'd ever go back to Mircosuck. When clients insist we use Teams, I must exercise all that I have to avoid a murderous rage.

This. been using it since way back, when it was star office or something. Before it was open office. And for the last 10 years it's been on my company issued RHEL laptop. But today, marked a sad day. My new laptop showed up with windows 10, since they are stopping allowing Linux as primary OS. nice laptop, sucks that it's got win 10 on it. And, no way would I want a Mac. Some folks chose those a while back and regretted it. It isn't windows and it isn't Linux.

Finally getting around to this one. Need to go buy a bigger ladder, but it does look better even before it’s done. Next step is bumping around in the attic and making sure all the vents are fully chicken wired before this fall.

Boy were they chuffed that they couldn’t get in. They’re STILL going on about it.

I am annoyed. Fucking packrat moved into my truck, every night he builds a new nest, every morning I remove the nest. He is building in both the cabin filter and engine filter areas. I have set traps, removed the filters, cleaned rat shit up for 3 weeks straight. Still haven't caught the fucker. Aside from spending the night in my driveway with my 12 gauge I'm out of ideas. Thoughts?

Poison?

I have dumb dogs. Haven’t gone the poison route because just my luck they will find the dead rat before I do and eat it.

Don't you live in Michigan? I always though of packrats as more western and more from the desert. We don't seem to have them here at least.

I hang a ziploc bag with several moth balls in the engine compartment with a zip tie, poke a couple holes in the bag to let the smell out. Seems to help keep the mice out of the engine compartment. Dunno if it'll help with your pack rat.

Squirrels ate a hole in my wood shingle roof and were raising a family in the attic. I found out when a cat chased them in and couldn't get out. We relocated the squirrels and reroofed with comp. It was due anyway.

You are correct sir, no pack rats in MI that I know of. We just moved to SW Colorado in August and I seem to have purchased a property that is perfect pack rat habitat.

Worth a shot

I got some of those Grandpa Gus rodent repellent pouches. Mice ate them.

I had one crawl back behind the glovebox in our Tundra and die after eating a bunch of the sound insulation from under the hood.
The first clue was the unmistakable smell of death in our new truck. The second was the chewed insulation.
I finally figured where it was, got the glovebox out and started trying to pry it out intact.
Goddamn thing came apart leaking noxious goo deep into my truck.
The wife says she can't smell it but I still do every time I open the door.
Two years later.
That's the kind of shit that annoys me.

Dryer sheets. Spread 'em around generously in the car, engine compartment, and underneath the vehicle.
