Made some small sense in that we knew most of the history, and her mom was pushing it pretty hard. So whatever. Plus side was that insurance could be his problem.
She wrecked that car a few months later. Turns out he never did add her to the insurance, but I guess he talked his way through that and now everybody is going car shopping tomorrow (during my parenting time, but whatever) with the check from that and I have no input or opportunity to participate. And the petty part of me keeps thinking that 90% of that check is what I signed over to them. And shopping for cars is a fun thing that I’d like to do with my kid.
But I push it all down and smile and encourage my daughter through it.
But goddamn it am I annoyed by the whole process.
**neither of the accidents were strictly her fault, though inexperience definitely played a big role in both.
I’d definitely be annoyed by that. Way worse than taking credit for a big salad someone else bought
Annoying, but also sad.

People around here are either driving 10 mph on dry pavement or blasting past all the blind driveway and side street pullouts at twice the dry road limit. It's the old "everyone driving faster or slower than me is crazy" thing but 10 times worse.
Snowblower got me last year. I put cardboard over it and went skiing the next day. It was annoying the county didn’t reimburse me after initial indicating they wouldQuote:

Yeah, the fact that someone can drive fast on a packed-snow road doesn't mean they can stop when someone cautiously pulls out of their drive. I've been hit that way. One of the best thing about my current car is that backing out of my driveway its sensors detect oncoming cars well before I can see them.Quote:

Not sure annoyed is the right word, but this place seems like as good a place to mention it as any.
Saw an Amazon commercial tonight where the main actor is a girl with a mustache. WTF?
I'm up to at least 50 spam emails a day. Some of them are really annoying and some are truly disgusting. Almost worse is the dozens of spam texts about my account being closed or blocked. Doesn't matter what account it's always the same.Quote:

Couldn't have done it without the camera--not without breaking something. The sensors, the camera, and also the blind spot warning light in the mirrors are an old man's friends. (Like the springs on the right side of my great uncles Caddy to tell him when he was near the curb.)Quote:

No one believes your 4 year old wrote that, Charlotte. No 4 year old thinks or talks like that and your kid's spelling is shit.
Pre-school is really into talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until kindergarten, and they’re gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin’ about, you know, the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.Quote:
