Does it ruin your fun on the blue groomers?

But there’s no grooming or avalanche control in the Wilderness.

So i powered through the intersections without letting anyone merge and nearly ran over a dozen pedestrians who were out walking in traffic for some reason.
Super annoying.

Yikes!! Safe travels.

Local NPR station has been out all week. Here's hoping this coincides with their fund raising week.

Gotta say that if any post belongs in the First World Problems thread, it's this one.

Can posting a problem from a 3rd world country qualify as a first world problem?

Purg? Anybody skinning up while lifts are running this week has a fucking death wish.

But it sounds like this happened in the third world. Won’t first world problems in the third world create some kind of temporal paradox? This could be a problem!

I adopted a policy of no holiday air travel after I graduated college 25 years ago and it has served me well.

Same on the policy, same on the 25 years. Holidays are home time.

WTF is with so many piss poor designed parking lots the last few years? Ooh, ooh we're gonna landscape it all nice nice and make the lanes narrower and block sight lines and while we're at it we'll make the spaces a little narrower too so all the bloated vehicles will fit together better...

Related, Every post office that I have been to has the worst design possible for high flow of traffic. It is almost comical.

The fact that there are 10x the normal amount of people in town this week and it slows down our internet so badly that I can't watch Netflix, annoys me.

The other one that's been bugging me lately is how hard it's gotten to find half gallons of fat free milk that's not $7-8 organic. I just want decent hormone free, fat free in cardboard containers but most stores don't stock it anymore. All they have is quarts of questionable store brands in plastic for way too much. Twice now I've been told that nobody wants fat free milk other than the organic food weirdos.

I think I said this one before, but people talking at concerts just drives me nutty. I paid to listen to the music, not to you drunk morons talking over it. Also it would be nice if the wife would take my side on this one, but nope. That's annoying too.

+1. I went to Whiskeytown playing at a bar back in the day, and I was really pleased when Ryan Adams went off and yelled, yelled really loudly, at the drunks babbling at each other. The place quieted down for most of the rest of the set.

Sorry about your wife, though.

Is that because you couldn’t find a parking spot?
