Shit that annoys you

[skiskiskiskiski]

sitting in the shade of the truck after fishing yesterday, i looked across at the truck next to me & scoped out his tires
then looked at mine
and saw "load c"
WTF?!?

apparently discount tire put load c on the right side of the truck & load e on the left side



...at least they're gonna swap em

Discount tire sucks. They put a new tire on my truck and told me they checked all my air pressures. I start my truck and the new tire says 36 and the others say 29.

So I ask the guy if he checked all the tires. He said yes. I said how come they aren't the same, then?

He turns red in the face and checks/puts air in the other tires.

Dude blatantly lied.

Same guy who put on your tires probably

MTB club spent the last 2 yrs on a complete rebuild of a trail destroyed by fire and subsequent storms. 10 miles of awesome, exposed backcountry bliss. Hikers have now found it and use it to access a few hilltops above the road. The first mile or so of trail is now trashed...literally. Coffee cups, used to, Kleenex, energy drink cans you name it. Whatever they felt they needed for that first mile but couldnt carry out.

I get a bagel at the bagel shop a couple of times a week and always tell them "just a little cream cheese". Excellent bagels and they do fine most of the time, but this morning I open up the bag and cream cheese is literally pouring out the side of the warm bagel before I even squeeze it. I'm a slob, but somehow managed not to get splooge all over me and only a little on my desk. On a related note, I drop a buck in the tip jar every time i buy a bagel and not once have i gotten a thank you. It's expected nowadays.

Today is trash day, and every week the guy who does the recycle bin sets it back upright with the lid closed, so it doesn’t fill up with rain or snow or muck in the couple hours before I get home from work to retrieve it.

The guy who does the trash can (which is literally the same kind of bin as the recycle bin, just a different color) doesn’t give a fuck, so the bottom of my trash bin fills up with trashy wet goo when it’s raining or snowing that I have to deal with. The worst is during the winter when it’s raining or snowing and then it thaws and freezes so I have a few inches of trashy ice in the bottom of the bin that is almost impossible to remove until the next thaw cycle (which could be months) unless I bring it inside.

I suspect it would actually annoy me less if a similar lack of care was taken with the recycle bin, but the contrast makes it painfully obvious that one guy is trying just a little bit harder than the other guy.

This is exactly how I want my bagel to be

At my house, the recycle truck has a guy on the outside which checks the bins before they get dumped, and he physically puts the bin on the arm that swings it up, and then rolls it back to the curb. The trash truck doesn’t need to check, so it’s just one dude inside the truck and grabs it with the mechanical arm thing without getting out. This guy has less control over the bin cause he isn’t physically moving it, he just controls the arm.

But he tells them “Just a little!”

Same truck, same guy at our house. Truck has two bins.

Allergies. I'm getting my ass kicked this year. Tried to tough it out but broke down and started Claritin today. Never took it before, hopefully it works for me.

Ha, I started for the first time yesterday with Claritin, this year in Utah is also nasty. I usually just suffer every year but I can't stop sneezing.

So bad in Mass this year, and when is this wind gonna stop?

One of the eggs was a little stuck and my big dumb gorilla hands crushed it. Could I have grabbed another egg instead? Yeah. But no. Big mess instead.



Then I loaded breakfast dishes into the clean dishes in the dishwasher. This is all after two cups of coffee so I have no excuse.

Why on earth would you not let the collective handle that for you

Did you read the second part of the sentence?

Lost power for 4 hours this afternoon right as I was getting back in the groove after a coffee. Better then the people up the street though.

Two bins that funnel into one big bin.

Actually, no. At least not on the truck. If they wait until they get back to base, that's their problem.

In my area the consistently disregarded tip is the staffs way of warning you "management keeps the tips".

A bagel w/ cream cheese is supposed to come with a proper schmear

A friend posted a “joke” on fb about a year ago. Something like: “I ordered a bagel the other day, and told the guy to be liberal with the cream cheese, so he gave it to someone else.”

Kinda pissed me off in the post 2020 election BS, and only remembered a month ago that I unfriended the guy, which I feel pretty bad about, but also explains why we don’t interact on fb anymore.

Reloading the string in a weed wacker. I know there is a better way to do this somehow but I can't seem to manage it without at least 3 solid strings of expletives and starting over at least 4 times. Each time I swear next time I will watch a YouTube video before I start but here I am yet again.

A few years ago I discovered heavy gauge weed whacker string. Makes such a difference - doesn't blow apart the second you graze a rock.

The budtenders are the only service people that consistently offer thanks for a tip in the tip jar.

Well allergies are annoying, but not as annoying as having allergies and getting covid too. Yeesh. Actually I feel quite a bit better than Wednesday when I posted that ^^, hopefully I just went through it and I'm getting better.

It will be more annoying if I'm about to get worse again, I feel pretty decent right now. Only took a test because my wife is sick and tested positive, I didn't think I'd get a positive result. I got the vax Trifecta, one of each, hopefully they worked.
