Shit that annoys you

Yeah I often mutter my thoughts in situations like that just loud enough

I'm over letting people get away with that shit. Couple weeks ago I was at an alpine lake that was a short(3mi)hike in. Had a couple groups come and drop their shit right next to us. I walked over and said " hey, not sure if you're from around here and I'm sure you're nice people but I sure as shit don't hike into a lake to hang out with you and your crotch fruit and you prob don't want to be around me and my whiskey drinking weed smoking friends." Sometimes they're cool and other times they prob look at my bear spray and 10mm and gtfo. Anyways I'm usually chill as fuck but why do people think it's cool to just post up next to people campjng?

My wife says they are city people, that they naturally congregate where people are, basically the opposite of what anyone I know does in the mountains.

I think it was more a question of 25 to 1.
My climbing partner and I spent 4 days ferrying 240 pounds of climbing gear and food for a month into Lonesome Lake, Cirque of the Towers, Wind Rivers. Early July , fair amount of snow, we had the lake to ourselves. Camped on a little bench with a little runoff stream, a couple of small trees to break the wind, a snow bank to keep our cheese and chocolate cold. There were dozens of sites like that all around the lake. But a couple of days in what had to have been a church youth group camped 20 feet from us, scavenged enough wood at timberline to build a big fire, and sang campfire songs late into the night, interfering with our alpine start sleep. My friend michael, long hair, beard, face liek a hawk with deep set eyes goes over and squats barefoot in the snow just outside their circle, ice ax across his knees, rocking back and forth and staring into the fire. "Come sing with us" a young man cried. Michael kept staring and rocking. "He's got no shoes!!" a girl cried. The singing stopped suddenly. Dead silence. I ran over, grabbed Michael's ice ax, grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back to our camp. "Goddammit Michael. You forgot to take your pills again." When we got up at 4 in the morning, the kids were gone. Not gone from their site. Gone from the Cirque/.

Two US astronauts are still stranded in orbit. What the hell Boeing, what’s the game plan here?!?

It seems to be "be too big/have too many defense contracts to fail". Really shitty feeling for those astronauts and their families.

The group sees my spot across the lake and B-lines for it, apparently the 400ft of sand in front of them wasn't good enough so the 10ft spit of land I'm on was where it was at. They arrive, throw their packs in a pile with my family's shit and proceed to spread blankets and set up a picnic. One of their dogs never stops barking at us and nobody seems to care. My dog, being the friendly guy he is greets all humans and dogs. Then a lady snaps at me because my wet dog walked across her picnic blanket. Apparently her 4 dogs are allowed to do it but my feral Malamute violated her space. I made it 10 minutes and said fuck this. Actually had to pick up their backpacks to find my families stuff and none of them cared. Then as we are about to leave they ask me if I can take their picture. Everything in my being had to come together to not throw their fucking phone in the lake.

We start our hike out arrive at the other side of the lake and one of those little fucking taco bell dogs runs straight for us along with some other tiny little purse dog, both baring their teeth in full attack mode. The owners to busy hanging with their crew to do anything. My dog doesn't even react because in his world they are nothing worth pursuing. I lunge and yell at the fuckers because the ankle biters are way to close to me and my 9 year old. That sets the owner off, and I politely explain what a leash is and if your dog isn't friendly it should be on one. That went well. And they were also from Texas. I know Texas is hot and shitty in the summer but that doesn't mean that gives you a free pass to come here and be assholes.

Texans are everywhere, unfortunately. They range far and wide but still return to the motherland to replenish their fat cells with bbq and sugary treats.

I had a ~$!0 fraud on my business Amex. Canceled my card and sent me a new one, but it takes a week, and multiple transactions keep getting declined. Gonna have to change the # on a shitload of accounts when I do get it. Pretty inconvenient.

In my experience, they'll default to normal shipping on the replacement card but will upgrade to overnight if requested.

It's been a while since I've needed to do so (*knocks wood*), so things may have changed.

Also, can you get a virtual card number to use from the website? I can't recall if there's a way to do that without having the physical card first (I know Chrome defaults to a "virtual" card number when I buy stuff online but I can't recall how the setup worked).

They were all in the left lane this morning on I15 doing 67 in a 70. Seven of them in a row. The sheer number of middle fingers they got as I drove by and joined in was hysterical.

I mean - is it any wonder that there are so many people from TX in our mountain west states? Over 30 million people living in a state that *objectively* sucks in almost every way... :D

Well, if you're a moran, perhaps it looks appealing?

I might move there if I was in a coma.

Nah - who am I kidding? Not even then.

If i was physically broken, didnt care about the outdoors, and loved to drink alcohol i would very seriously consider moving to Texas or Arizona. If your interests all revolve around being inside, eating food, and getting drunk then why wouldnt you move to a place where your money goes a long ways, and the whole society is setup for you to be in air conditioned space at all times because the climate is unforgiving.

I mean - if I was into all that, I'd move back to the Midwest. At least there would be fewer Texans there.

IMO, the food scene in texas in underrated. Youve got BBQ, mexican, texmex, and great SE asian cuisine.

But yeah, the midwest would work in a pinch too if i were a fat, crippled, alcoholic who didnt care about the outdoors.

Fuck I live in podunk MT and they're here. One city commissioner and prob soon to be mayor drives a big white suburban with (gasp!!) Vanity plates that say "XTEXAN". Majority of town hates the guy but nobody has the time or energy to run against him...sigh. Also like most local politicians he has multipes STRs and manages a local business. I will give him credit for genuinely caring about the issues except for they almost always align with his bank account.

Still, there’s gonna be Texans or Arizonans there, a lot of them.
