Scored a nice six foot teak table with leaves that way last weekend. It's weathered and grey so will need to be refinished, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with it. Free shit is the best shit. :)

I'm wondering when my wife will put me out by the street with a free sign. "Mostly house trained."

The problems is restaurants that overbook--don't allow enough time between reservations. We used to go to the same place for our anniversary until the year they told us to leave after we'd been there an hour because someone was waiting for the table. Didn't let us order dessert. This is a fancy-shmancy place--the kind with the name of the chef on the menu. Not the kind of place we go to anymore--the places we go to have cooks, not chefs. I should have told them we didn't have time to pay.
There is always tons of pretty good used items on FB marketplace in my area. Lots of times people are moving and just have so much stuff to clean out in their attics and garages and giving it away feels good and is cheaper than paying the junk guys to take it away. Then there are the idiots that have stuff that is 10 years old and they will post Originally $300 and want $250 for it, usually stuff you wouldn't want to buy from someone unless dirt cheap.
Yeah... don't think that was the case that night. People had finished their meal and just wanted to enjoy their digestion at the table. Table was totally cleared - they were just sitting there and wouldn't leave.
Edit/sdd: besides, that's no way to behave during peak dining hours in a small tourist town. Those restaurants only have a couple months to make 90% of their yearly income.
Don't be an ass. Move your ass.
We have a nice new plaza with tables/umbrellas, planters and fountains they could have moved to that was 30 seconds from where they were sitting. Oh well.
Always nice to see there are fucking morans outside the U.S., too:

Imagine what crimes are in that phone to make that worth it
I've seen this commercial on TV a couple times in the last few weeks and have to admit it annoys the shit out of me.
No issue that it's for a nasty buffet, it's the question that just seems asinine to me.
Clearly I'm not meant to take it literally, but I just can't help it.
Which came first, processed breaded chicken "fingers" or people eating the meat from animal ribs?
WTF. Why do I care? I don't know. But it fkn bothers me.
two factor authentication on sites where I pay bills. I'm not talking about banks etc. If someone pretending to be me wants to pay my car insurance I'm fine with it.
People who talk on their phones in public spaces without regard for the people around them. I'm on an airport parking shuttle and a woman got on in the middle of a conversation and subjected the other 10 of us on the shuttle to her conversation for the entire 15 minutes she was on the shuttle.
Broken ribs annoy me. Like, really annoy me.
The no-license-needed crowd.
WTF is with people?
I get annoyed at drive thrus where there is no menu visible until you get right up to the order window.
Even more annoying is inside McDs where they have menus on screens now that change the display every few seconds. You're looking to see what they have on the dollar menu there and just as you spot where it is, the screen changes to beverages or something else. Then you get to stand there and wait until it flashes back.
It’s also annoying that they’d rather train the public on their POS than pay people who know what they’re doing. I’m waiting behind some idiot like me to take 5 minutes to even get the damn order in, then spend another 5 minutes myself just ordering a fucking bean burrito. So then, what, I’m supposed to go idle my car for 15 fucking minutes so as to avoid being pressured into using their shitty robot.
It’s also annoying that then menu is designed by seven figure people to help ensure that you order some shit you didn’t really want. Like I can’t see the value menu and there’s a fucking line a mile long behind me, just give me the quarter pounder combo. Of course! That’ll be 10.50. It’s worse when you’re near sighted because the value shit is always furthest from the speaker. By design.
OTOH, everything but McDonald’s and Carls were closed in Idaho Springs so I went to carls and got a double jalapeño burger for 3.49 and they pulled off a pretty good burger. Hadn’t been there in years and I was totally happy with all aspects of the transaction.

Yeah I seldom go to McDs anymore, if I do it's usually for 2 for $3.99 Mcdoubles.
The accepted tradeoff used to be low quality food but at least it was cheap and fast. But prices have gone up so much it's not remotely a cheap option anymore unless you stick only to dollar menu. Quality definitely hasn't improved....no matter how low your expectations are going in McD's seems to always disappoint.
If I have time I'll go to InNOut, a taco shop or grab a sandwich if there is a good deli nearby. Cheaper and better food.
Wouldn't it make more sense to board the back of the plane first?
It's good practice for buying a train ticket from a kiosk in Europe. While the train you're supposed to board is about to board. At least at Mc D it's in English.
I had to take a written test at the DMV on a computer. It was simple enough until the young woman who was there to help old people came over and got in my way.
Did you pass the dmv test? Failing would be annoying and two of my neighbors did just that recently. They alleged the test questions had changed from previous sample practice tests
What written test does CA DMV make you take?
Finding anybody to do anything. Is it just me or every time you need to hire somebody they either don't bother calling you back or if they do quote you a price that says I don't want the job. I'm really getting tired of watching YouTube to learn how to do everything myself because I can't find a professional that wants to take it on.
Todays learning is replacing the motherboard on my fridge followed by operating an excavator I rented to fix my yard.
I can do this shit but my inefficiencies mean it will take me 5x as long as the professional and that annoys me.
The time I was talking about was 5 years ago when I got a RealID license. When I renewed this year I had to take the exam because of my age--I think they use it as a dementia test because they don't have the manpower to road test every senior, which they should do. You can take the test online or do what I did and do an online course with built in questions to answer. I can't conceive of flunking it. When I took it the time before I didn't know I had to take the test when I went in for the RealID and I passed it easily without any study. I don't know how they're doing in person written tests these days. It wasn't bad to get renewed--I had no trouble getting an appt, I did the application and paid online. I was seen at my appt time, given an eye test (which I squeaked through--will probably have to wear my glasses next time if I'm still alive), had to wait a little for my photo because the new guy didn't know how to work the machine. The only real problem is they used my grandfather;s photo instead of me on the license.
It annoyed me the first time my dad put his pic in the medicine cabinet mirror too
Thing #2 shaved his beard for his summer internship job and he looks like the picture on my license from when I turned 22. Same shirt and everything. He looks nothing like the picture in my mirror, which reminds me that I'm "old". I suppose that's a whole lot better than if he looked like the mailman.
