    I don't think she'd ever heard some of the words I called her.
    Entitlement. Entitled people are annoying as shit.

    I expect so, though with the thick British accent they probably sounded more like “ignorant fucking cunt.”

    I get a little salty when somebody parks in front of my house, but I’m aware of my unreasonable crabbiness and try to correct. My next door neighbor parks in front of my house all summer and when I see him not there I have a strong urge to move my car from my driveway to his spot.

    But I don’t need any passive aggressive battles with those neighbors. Fully engaged on the other side.
    focus.

    Same with the last batch of boxers I bought but they have a tag on both the front and the back. Have to feel for the crotch which should be fool proof but I still seem to get them on backwards half the time. Whose dumb fucking idea was it to put two tags in them? :lol:

    We just hired a new admin assistant for our office. HR in all its wisdom decided she would be a 1099 independent contractor. Maybe they can get away with that in Florida but it won't fly in California. Finally got that corrected today. Side note, the candidate just graduated with a degree in HR and business management. Should I be disappointed she didn't call the company out on that herself?

    A Curb and sidewalk? Those are fair game.

    regarding the gravel area--depends where the property lines are, but chances are that gravel is still public ROW and just as legal as if there were a curb. In the Nextdoor conversation I referred to one commenter made the excellent observation that it is up to the city council or the HOA or whoever is in charge to make rules; individuals don't get to make their own rules and if they want their rule to apply to everyone they need to convince the authorities to enact it. In the absence of formal rules different people have different ideas of what is polite and considerate.

    In Truckee we have such a gravel area but most of it is on our property (surveyed). When people (next door short term renters, who usually people but sometimes subhuman) park there they generally leave when asked, only had to call a tow truck once. Nowadays we keep poles up to keep people from parking there. Parking on other people's property (not talking about on the public ROW) is endemic in our neighborhood. What's really fun is when the idiot weekly renters park in our driveway because there's no parking place plowed for the rental. The fact that now our plow service can't properly plow us doesn't seem to concern them.

    Ah, the joys of living in an area with a lot of short term rentals . . . but I wouldn't live anywhere else. The little aggravations are far outweighed by the pleasure of living in Eden, at least until it all burns down.

    IRS, not the state. They don’t fuck around with that shit. When I worked for a general contractor, we’d get levy notices on our subs - Billy Bob Construction owes $200k in payroll taxes and penalties because IRS classified all his 1099 IC’s as W2 employees , you pay anything due to the IRS, not Billy Bob.

    That used to happen to me regularly when I lived in the Sugarhood in SLC. Not for dog walking but for the fireworks. The house was within 10 minutes of the park where they set off the biggest show in the valley and people would invariably insist that driveways were fair game once the street parking was taken. I'd have to make sure to park at the very edge of the driveway if I wanted to go anywhere that night since asshats would start their invasion around 5pm then get stuck until midnight trying to navigate a massively traffic-jammed neighborhood. Since the Mos have their own holiday in July it would happen twice that month. One year I walked home to find 3 fucking cars in my driveway and people with camping chairs on the street and in my front yard. Had to team up with neighbors on each side to get them to GTFO and you'd have thought we were actively destroying their dreams. They didn't even have kids...

    I've been waiting on Southwest to resume flights from Newark to either CO or UT since they grounded the 737 max early in the year. Tonight I check on a flight for my mom to visit my brother in Austin and when I type in Newark it comes up as invalid. Somehow I was asleep at the wheel and didn't hear that SW will not fly out of Newark to anywhere anymore. WTF, now I gotta visit the credit card thread on here and get one that I can use for other airlines.

    huh, interesting they pulled out of EWR. They have 3 surrounding Boston, 3 surrounding DC, but only 2 in NY and they're both on Long Island.

    I wish they'd hurry up and serve BTV. Albany and Manchester are the closest.

    Gas tanks that you fill from the right/passenger side of the car.

    Copied:
    “Of course it is on the right side for right handle vehicles. So, the basic explanation for why the fuel filler should be placed on the passenger's side has to do with safety when, say, filling a car on the side of the road from a gas can.”
    Well maybe I'm the faggot America

    Ya, no end of confusion in our house. Two vehicles on the left, one on the right. Most gas stations do not have a long enough hose. Costco does, but they don't sell gas, yet, in VT.

    Almost all cars have a little arrow on the gas gauge that points toward the side of the car where the filler is...
