Shit that annoys you

The weighted toric lenses I use are so soft and also stick to my finger. I've found if I make sure the tip of my finger is completely dry when placing the contact on it, it releases the a little better.

I've worn contacts since I was maybe 12 (glasses since 6, been blind as shit for a looooooooooooooong time), switched to toric about 2 years ago. Finding out I was suddently incapable of putting contacts into my eyeballs was very annoying. I used to be able to do it while crouched beside my car to avoid the sandy wind in the desert, holding a coffee cup in one hand and playing soccer with the dog at the same time. Now I stand in front of the mirror and do battle with the little fuckers for a couple minutes every day. Immaculately dry hands are a must but even then the contacts will occasionally jump to their death into the sink or flip inside out and stick to my fingers. Evil little things for sure, and so much harder to get a proper fit and strength than non-toric ones. Astigmatism = incredibly annoying.

I almost always squirt my fingers with disinfectant before I put my contacts in. I don’t find that wet fingers hurt me when putting mine in. I’ve been in contacts for 25 years and you definitely just get used to it. I don’t use a mirror, I just stare the little fucker down as I place it in my eye and that’s always worked for me.

I’ve had toric lenses for a long time. The only problem I ever have is if my fingers get too wet I can’t hold my lids open.

On the flip side, ever try to put lenses in a ten year old’s eye? Hilariously impossible, but nobody thought it was hilarious at the time.

The first 4 results of my google search are "sponsored" results, then there's the section of "people also ask" letting me know the questions I could have asked, BEFORE I even get to the actual results of my search. Annoying.

I’ve mostly given up on Google. It’s either duckduckgo or ghostery now. Kinda fun as I switch my VPN location around the world’s server locations.

yeah, their business model has legitimate reasons to fear chatgpt.

That fucking Kia Sportage commercial with the patchouly smoking hippie.
He sees some garbage on the beach and then drives all over the beach, squashing sea turtle eggs, and then watches as some sea turtles come to lay more eggs so he can squash them.
He even has a fucking creepy grin at the end like I can’t wait to squish some fucking eggs
Fuck it’s driving me nuts every time I see it.

I was thinking the same thing! Fucking kook, how many sea turtles are you gonna squish?! Their best bet is to get picked up w the garbage!

Go back 15 pages or so and we had the same conversation. I think I even posted a pic of the local “stay off the dunes” signage that trash Jesus would have inevitably driven over.

Hate that commercial.

Commercials? Where the fuck are you guys seeing commercials these days?!? :confused: :D

He clearly does it before the sea turtles lay their eggs and doesn't squish any because they all lay their eggs on the exact same time of the exact same day. But for real this is what you get when Sally pipes up at the marketing meeting and says "saving sea turtles is just soooo hot right now, let's do something around that!" and everyone agrees.

Movement that inspires™.

Google Kia beach turtle ad and see how many articles there are ripping the spot.

"Get in loser, we're going to do donuts on the beach and save some fucking turtles"

I know, right?

Although now I actually want to see it

I think I've mentioned this before, but any car commercial showing the automatic parallel parking feature where the people have to hold their hands up like the steering wheel is on fire. Does the feature only function if you assume the "this is a stick up!" position or what? :)

Yeah - I went looking. And it's dumb. But in its defense - it *is* a commercial. :fmicon:

So, I have a Titanium knee. I also have TSA pre check and a Clear trial. But both are more or less useless, as no matter what I do or who I get, I have to go through the ‘stick em up in the air’ scanner anyway, and often get asked to remove my belt, shoes, etc in order to do so.
I kinda want my money back, as now so many people have TSA pre check, it’s kind of a wash as far as lines.

I'm a out to go have a movement. Not sure how inspiring it will be. The other day thing#2 just had to use the upstairs bathroom after me and said "Dad, one of these days you're going to kill someone with that" matter of factly in reference to how bad a wrecked it.

Kum and Go got bought out by Maverik and they are changing the names of them to Maverik.


End of an era. Buy a K&G t-shirt now so you can tell yer grandkids about it.


Most of you probably have grandkids, now I think about it.

Maverik has pretty damn good gas prices here in Northern California
