Sorry to hear that; when my neck spasms hydrocodone is the pill that soothes.

Boissal - I have a chronic neck problem between C3 and C6 vertebrae.

Cold antagonizes it, heat helps it.

My first step is a really hot shower to try and loosen it up. The rhomboid muscle in my upper back antagonizes it too so the hot water helps to loosen everything equally.

I am not averse to getting my Chiropractor in on the remedy. Sometimes the pop makes me see stars but the relief is quick and for real.

And the skirub seems to help too. Must be the Arnica.

Ya, heat it what usually helps my neck if it's gone stiff.

The expression "visible from space"--most recently heard describing the line of cars leaving Azerbaijan for Armenia. Given that there are cameras up there that can read license plates we need a new phrase--maybe visible from the moon.

Idiot in a Tesla in front of me while driving home, up a mountain highway - comes up behind very slow construction truck, moves to left lane. I have a full pallet of stove pellets (1 ton) in the pickup bed. I move over to the left lane behind the Tesla - whose driver immediately slams on his brakes for no reason.

I laid on the horn for a solid 30 seconds. Annoying.

Not excusing driver or vehicle in any way but Tesla almost certainly in some cruise/autopilot/fsd mode.
Has happened enough when passing on a curve that I refuse to use cruise control on any sort of two lane highway or interstate that is not dead straight. Its terrifying as a driver, inexplicable and comes with no warning. Annoying AF indeed

Phantom braking - a Tesla feature. TWIS (the woman I’m seeing) gets it with her Tesla every so often. No reason for it, just happens.

**El Chupacabra** · 09-28-2023, 11:08 PM

Fuck Elon Musk then.

When she's driving or when the car is in control?

**riser4** · 09-29-2023, 08:20 AM

Because Musk is actually Dr. evil, the scenario I picture is that he's very stoned and very bored. So he logs into random cars and does things like random brake checks.

When she has the cruise control on. Random, sudden braking for no discernible reason.

**gravitylover** · 09-29-2023, 09:34 AM

That explains an accident I saw a few days ago. The Tesla was munched when it stopped in front of a truck pulling a loaded 30 foot car hauler trailer. That Tesla was squashed right into the back seat area.

**406** · 09-29-2023, 06:05 PM

I had noticed the Tesla phantom braking while driving behind one enough times that I googled it to see if it was a thing...now get all kinds dashcam videos of them doing it in my IG feed. Crazy they don't get rear-ended often, I just expect it now and give them space, but worse is when they change lanes into my lane.

Retailers that send you a Shipping email but don't include the tracking number, just a link to their crappy portal on their website that shows outdated info compared to looking at the actual shipping company's tracking website.

**easyrdr** · 09-29-2023, 09:09 PM

Denver to Boston flight, asshole behind me and my wife hacking and coughing for 4 hours straight, playing on his phone and not covering his mouth.............my wife got it. She is on day 3 of being sick as fuck and I am on day 3 of doing everything, kids, cooking, grocery. Fuck you selfish asshole plane passenger.

**frorider** · 09-30-2023, 12:15 AM

Remember when masks in crowded public places largely prevented this shit? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

**easyrdr** · 09-30-2023, 09:38 AM

and now I have it too.

**riser4** · 09-30-2023, 04:42 PM

People. People annoy me

**old goat** · 09-30-2023, 06:18 PM

Well if you want to be annoyed, you've come to the right place.

They don't always show outdated info. Sometimes they're down entirely even when the shipping company's site is working just fine, except I don't have the tracking number because I forgot that the retailer has a crappy system and doesn't put it in the email.

The USPS sucks, as we all know, but now they don't deliver packages to my house, they drop a slip telling me to pick them up at the PO but the PO has no idea where they are nd asks me for a tracking number. WTF? You had the packages, you told me to come here and pick them up, they are here, they should be at my house, but now they are here but you can't find them? Mother fuckers....

**ötzi** · 10-01-2023, 12:29 PM

It keeps raining here. Crazy amount of rain this summer. Today the rain stops, it's supposed to be nice out, and Canadian wildfire smoke blows in, the thickest I've seen so far. It kinda seems like if it's been raining for 4 months you should get a cosmic hall pass on smoke, but nope. Annoying.

Isn’t Canada dampening the forest floors?
Send that rain to them!
