It ain't 10x older. Your second point is more valid. Which is backed up by the fact that it took 5 years to find something that amused us.Quote:

That’s only somewhat annoying.
Oh, man... got caught behind one of these on a busy surface street right in the middle of the 'burbs this morning. And she accelerated like a goddam tortoise to boot.Quote:

Then slow down again once the passing lane ended. Got so fed up one time after a car did this on 3 consecutive passing lanes I passed them on a double yellow with a friend giving them the finger as we went past. They pulled up next to us at a traffic light in Squamish and granny in the back seat gave us the middle finger back.Quote:

But the damn assholes driving 35 mph down Big Cottonwood Canyon, on the brakes the whole damn time except the few straight bits? Fuck that. The canyon isn't steep like LCC and the road is freshly repaved and super wide. I went through the S-curves yesterday wondering if I needed to downshift into 1st fucking gear cause we were moving so slow...
Half the time it's people who are terrified of driving a "mountain" road, which annoys me but is somewhat justifiable if they're not used to it. The real annoyance is the dipshit gawkers out for a drive looking out the window at the flowers. Jeebus forbid they see a deer or moose, they'll stop in the middle of the road to photograph the wildlife and get all huffy and puffy if you suggest they park their car and go out on a walk. They're taking their sweet ass time, never considering that some people actually commute in these canyons, or are on the clock for something, or are about to run out of beer and finish the drive all dehydrated.
Driving roads with high congestion potential for fun should be illegal. Driving for the sake of driving should be punishable by a kick to the groin. Anyone who is willing to sit in the car for any reason other than getting somewhere specific to accomplish a certain task is a toolbag of the highest order.
Ha. Coming down rabbit ears pass, and on the clock the other day there were about 6 cars stopped, or in a drawn out process of stopping. Cars in the road, sort of on the shoulder, and one or two who were creeping along in-between lanes, uphill lanes were effectively blocked by stopped cars. Speed limit 50mph. All because they wanted to look at a moose. Complete shit show. It even happened to be next to a pull out, but people were just stopping in the road instead.Quote:

Kinda seems like people are getting dumber and dumber. The women had their phones up taking pics, hubbies were blocking traffic with their vehicle's like they're the freaking cops. All Completely oblivious to the fact that they're creating a hazard on the road.
Nah - people have been this dumb for *decades* - ask me how I know...Quote:

Me being clueless annoys me. Didn’t realize the vagaries of different mountain bike hub driver types. My old shit isn’t compatible with the new to me shit. So I have to buy more shit but the bike stores are closed until Monday. Oh well. Learned a lot in the last 30 minutes.
^ And next time you need use your knowledge of the new 'standards' they'll be obsolete!!
Next time maybe I’ll know enough to ask the question, at least. This one caught me completely off guard.

Look at all the time wasted.

Good to know.
In a surprise to nobody, Xfinity is annoying.
You'd think that moving -- and disconnecting at one address and starting at a new address -- is something they do often enough that the process would be smooth. But no.
Saturday, I spent an HOUR on the phone with "Mandy" from India and finally figured out that one coax "plug" in my new house did not work. But it's the one in the living room and I want it to work, I don't want to have my modem in the dining room. So we schedule a tech for today. Yesterday, I get a call from someone I can barely understand, wanting to troubleshoot the problem ahead of the tech today, and asking me to start describing the problem. I tell him no, I was on the phone for an hour the day before and all the info should be there. He keeps pressing but in nice words I tell him to fuck off (in part because I couldn't even understand him). He says ok.
Today, I get a text that the tech will be arriving soon, with the usual "text x to cancel, y to jerk off, and c to buy some flowers" language (I may have edited it from its original language). And there is an "X" already there below it in my text messaging, as if I sent an X, which I did not. So I tap the X because I wanted to see what time was associated it (because that's what you do with sent texts), and THAT sent the X. So they canceled. And there's no way to uncancel. Fuck.
Oh, and did I mention when I log in on my phone there are 2 accounts for my address and it asks me which one I want to look at? And when I log in on the app it tells me my account is inactive and I need to pay my bill? What the everloving fuck. I have to drive to the store to figure this shit out. Great way to spend my first day of work back from vacation.
But they are still better than CenturyLink.
