I do believe the perpetual road construction is ENTIRELY on purpose. Lines the pockets of the fatcats in the good ol' boy's club. See: Michael Douglas' excellent rant in Falling Down...

Well, it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal to begin with if more people drove non-behemoths. Whenever I go downtown, or anywhere else that parking might be tight, I bring my little hatchback. Fits a...

Geez!!! WTF?! Guy get stiffed by the construction company or something?! (a sadly common occurrence in that business unfortunately)

Oof. That triple sucks then. I feel your pain. Thankfully in my current home, the initial build was actually really good. It's been the previous DIY stuff I've had to deal with mostly. Haha. Still...

Yeah. Absolutely abysmal parking skills for this subset of people that just "HAVE" to have a truck for no good reason. However, for some REAL truck jong-related entertainment, go spend a day at your...

Like how during the history of all previous owners, NOBODY bothered to remove light switch/outlet plates? Literally every single house I've owned, I've had to deal with that. Gotta carefully cut the...

You poor guy. You're a WAAAAY nicer a dad than I am. Haha. I'm like "Roll up your sleeves, bucko. You're about to get a crash course in plumbing."

While I've never started one, at least some gems have come of them, such as this hilarious corner of TGR:

I wonder how Maine resorts are skiing these days? Seems to be the ONLY place with the correct February weather right now.

SERIOUSLY! The lack of a raise or even a small one is practically a pay DECREASE these days with the rampant inflation these last few years. Wife and I make ok money now but feel broker than ever...

Quite right. More flies with honey and all that.

Indeed. That's precisely why this thread is useful. We can go off in here instead of on some poor worker who has nothing to do with the asinine system their worthless management put into place. So I...

Nah. It's the opposite of stressful and anxiety-inducing. At least for me and probably many others, this thread is quite therapeutic. It's an ongoing Festivus' Airing of the Grievances. These little...

Sometimes there's no avoiding the annoyances. Park in the tight spots next to others. Guaranteed door ding. Park alone away from everyone. Somebody STILL parks next to you with a high likelihood of...

Hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh. Not really flexing tho. It's nearly a decade old and isn't really worth a ton. Folks in the wagon stoke thread know it. Love the car but it gets used as a family...

Don't you love it when you park farther out in a parking lot to avoid door dings and then some douchelord pulls up right next to your car? And REALLY close on top of it! WTF is up with people like...

I've learned the hard way there's no such thing as the "free market." There are winners and there are losers, most of whom are pre-selected. Typically by lots and lots of $$$. FML.


LMAO. True...

I hear ya. And I'm tempted, but the terms are too whack for not great pay. I'll post up some of the terms later when I get a chance. You'll see what I'm saying. It's nuts.


Haha. I wish! Life...

Thanks for the insight! This one is SO stacked against the worker that I'd be an idiot to agree to it as is. I finally heard back from the hiring manager saying they're going to hold firm to it and...

That IS annoying. I used to complain about that all the time here, when the people whose very professions are what you need help with, are unable to help, forcing us to figure things out for...

Oh definitely. The contract alone is full of red flags. And what's hilarious is that a LARGE component of my line of work is literally contract negotiation. Am I being tested by them? Haha.

Yup! Sneaky nerds at MS decided to slip that one in on Outlook at least. Just started happening to me too, but I found the solution. Go to your options, then go to Advanced, then set it back from...

CAPTCHAs for logging in. "Using our blurry ass photo, click on all the pictures with bikes/stairs/crosswalks/bridges/etc." click-click-click-click-click aaaaand done. "WRONG! TRY AGAIN!"

Call me a Luddite but what's even more annoying is when they tell you that you NEED to resolve said issue via the app, so you go through all the rigmarole, create an account, run through all the...

Yup. Same here. :(
