I was in northern scotland once and was stunned for about 5 minutes just staring at a wild roundabout. It had traffic flowing clockwise and counterclockwise in the same roundabout. Just trying to make sense of the flow baffled me.

I'm an engineer, I'm actually working on a project to eliminate these roundabouts right now. My plan involves teleportation and mirrors. Whaduyuthink?Quote:

People who make too much money to qualify for free money from the government, then request a drastic reduction in hours so they can qualify for free money while still having a job. Once uncle sam's teet has run dry they then want their old schedule back.
those ugly ass lyft mustaches
the media whores who persist in the fiction that lyft isn't a cab service
Flavor of the week econo-speak buzzwords that every dope latches onto to sound smart and uses as much as possible in any conversation or debate. "Metrics" and "granular" are 2 that come to mind.
sweet "pivot"
That I always seem to be a day late and a dollar short. Fuck.
You wouldn't do well in the ad/marketing business that is for sure. My days are filled with gnashing of teeth at these types of buzzwords. If I hear "bring it to life" anymore I might go insane.Quote:

I hear "cloud" occasionally. I had a consultant go on a rant about how we used to just store data on a remote server until some yuppie was allowed to bastardize the English language.Quote:

You supply my electricity and gas. But I have to go to different websites, have different accounts, etc to pay each bill. One lets me pay right from the website and the other sends a bill that I can't pay unless I mail it in. It's 2013, send me an email of my bill with a "pay" button. When I click it, the bill is paid by whatever source I have set up. Get with the times. I almost think they want people to get confused and fuck up paying them to incur fees.
Now that's quick, Joel.Quote:

This is going to fuck a lot of people over.
On a positive note, if a comp has audio it will actually render with audio by default now. No longer will I have to render twice because I forgot to check the audio box!
Moron product managers/ founders with no common sense at start up companies who question whether it is worth their time to meet with the heads of the biggest potential customers they could dream of so they can demo their product.
Oatmeal raisin cookies in poorly lit hipster coffee shops that look like chocolate chip cookies.
Fuckhead baristas who don't warn you about such things before you buy and open them. Do I really look like a consumer of oatmeal raisin cookies? Wtf? Did I ask for soy or something?
Early season snowstorms that turn to rotten base. And Kale.
I was thinking I was the only one that this annoyed.Quote:

I apologize for the inconvenience. I'll be sure not to send you any more emails.

Thank you,
People that start talking about something without referencing what they are talking about and expecting you to understand them. "So I was just looking at the thing with the lines, and I think if we made them lighter it would it would blend in better with the background?" Excuse me, what are you babbling about?
Oh and google maps sending me to 2 different closed restaurants for lunch. If the place has been closed, take it off the fucking map.
