Shit that annoys you

[Tor-tour]

so just cut off the ones in the languages you don't want after you decide you won't return the cloths. this is like the fucking mattress tags - once you've bought it cut that shit off.

Actually, don't cut those tags off if your mattress has any sort of a warranty. Found this out when our Temperpedic started to sag after 8 years, and it has a 10 year warranty. One of the things that they ask for are the codes and dates on that tag to verify that it is the original mattress. We had cut ours off, but the box spring still had the tag on it with a date, and along with the receipt I was able to smooth talk the warranty people. But it would've been way easier with the tag on there.

I've also heard you can go to jail if you cut them off.

Been looking at cars online and that's even more depressing. Cars are WAAAYYYYY too expensive these days. I miss the days pre-Cash for Clunkers when you find great used cars for under a grand all day long. I bet someday, my son's going to punch me when I tell him "Well, sonny, back in MY day, I bought a used Subaru for $150 in perfect shape." Haha. Cars are my generation's version of "Back in my day, you could get a soda for a nickel."

Cash for Clunkers was 10 years ago old-timer. Lots of things are more expensive now, not just cars.

Which reminds me, people who think it's okay to fuck with long-standing weed prices annoy me. Weed is inflation-proof, everybody knows that.

Ford Mustang with bald tires driving in a snowstorm yesterday. Saw him do multiple spinouts on straight, flat roads. Almost caused multiple accidents, and generally just suck at driving BEFORE he got on the interstate to drive up to the Eisenhower tunnel. Tunnel closed soon thereafter. Coincidence?

so staple the tag to the receipt and store them together.

I think that one actually means "punch down the dough"... ya fuckin' n00B.

Why are the keys to my bike lock bigger than any other key on my key chain besides my car key? Why can’t they just be normal sized keys?

Is 'Punching Down The Dough' a filthy euphamism?

Wouldn't you like to know...

Well, the dollar ain't worth what it used to be, Sonny.

Other shit that annoys me: people that can't get it into their thick skulls that healthcare is not a good/service that follows the "normal" rules of capitalism. Even when *they* are getting SHAFTED by their health insurance.

Make as much money as possible. By any and all means necessary. SHAFTING is a good portion of the manual it seems.
But yes, health insurance requirements - offend my delicate capitalistic sensibilities.

I know this all now. Well... not the shafting part.
Fuck, our healthcare system is so broken and so many layers of stratified shit and regulations. And yet, let's just give it to everybody without fixing it first.

Problem is, the first step in fixing it is getting rid of the insurance companies, which means giving medicare to everyone. They don't actually give it--you pay for it, based in part on income.

What it's called is immaterial. The key is getting rid of most firms of health insurance.

I mean, universal healthcare can't be THAT difficult... considering the ITALIANS have it.

Yeah, but even the Italians standardized on the metric system of measurements, like in 1860 or something, and we can't seem to even get that right.

Hell, even the BRITISH got rid of the imperial measurement system - and they're the ones who created it!

We can't get sane measurements or health care!

So, $10 for a three-finger lid? Full of stems and seeds?

OK - once and for all, for someone who grew up watching Cheech and Chong as an otherwise clueless kid, wtf is a lid? 1/8th? 1/4? 1/2? Oz?

[JongDoe]

In my world a lid was 3/4 ounce. And LOL Skaredshitles, memories indeed. Joints exploding from some cheap bastard that always scrounged your weed and finally had a joint of his own to offer.

A lid was always an ounce including stems and seeds.

[Danno]

I've never heard of a lid, it was always dime bags. Which were an undetermined about of weed. But they cost $10.
