Shit that annoys you

[Woodsy]

Pedestrians that cross lanes of traffic at any angle other than 90.

guilty as charged but I do it in big citys I know and always make eye contact with drivers

This thread popping up in the beginning of August is annoying. Knock it the fuck off.

lol, yeah I just saw that. Still unseasonably warm here in the Pacific Northwest with temps in the mid 80s tomorrow and Friday. Though the evenings are sweet.

People have bumped that thread in July before. Idiots!!!

It’s called not hot as balls anymore for some lucky bastards. But it’s no turn.

I am annoyed that some asshole confronted me in a parking lot today. Local farm & ranch store has several parking spots for Veterans. I served my country, so I parked in one. Male Karen runs over pointing at the sign and yelling at me. I told the clown to go fuck himself.

... I told the clown to go fuck himself.

I rarely use one unless the lot is packed, and I am in a hurry... same for the disabled spots... mostly leave them for someone who really struggles.

I would offer to trade places with the zealous (asshole) karen any/every day.

Next time, don't get mad - Get Happy. Let the incendiary asshole know that the sign was put there for you, and that's why you use it.

U could add; In your next incarnation, you'll get another shot... do something about it.

People who are two steps ahead of you and slide through an open door without any consideration of somebody being behind them. Have some fucking manners for christ sake.

Pretty wild thought process there. "Hey! You can't park in that spot! It's for veterans!" And he thought he could tell who is/isn't a vet?

[ötzi]

A T***p voter no doubt.

That’s a weird move to assume someone is not a vet. Like what is the criteria to look like a vet? It’s bad enough when someone assumes someone doesn’t need the disability space just bacause they don’t see anything obvious

[m2711c]

yep, my long hair and beard has led many a vigilant karen to question the validity my vet status....

Hah! I used to hate it when someone would hold the door from me when I was too far away, making me feel like I had to speed up. So I started slowing down instead. Now I love it when someone holds the door for me.

Tell them you were a Seal. Then they'll believe you.

Some people think every vet rolls with the NAVY (or AF) VETERAN plates
I might but I'm not paying $40 a year for "the privilege" of identifying myself

MIC CEOs should be footing the bills for those plates out of their own personal fortunes. They wouldn't even notice it as it would amount to a rounding error.

Damn. What an a-hole. Only thing that would have made this situation better is if you followed up with a tactical nuke nut kick...

Instead of going to the butterfly pavilion and for a bike ride with my toddler today I spent hours on the phone trying to fix an institutional fuck up. We are past the 24 hour mark of no antibiotics because I was the wrong kind of outpatient for the outpatient pharmacy.

A big fuck you to the Cedars Sinai Outpatient Pharmacy.

Get Tom Cruise the fuck out of here with this Olympic bullshit

Oh come on, that scene was pretty cool. (Yes I hate the guy too)

My father, a WWII Navy vet who did active duty on carriers in the Pacific and who lost his brother in the Battle of the Bulge, hated being identified as a vet.

[mcski]

Hadn’t thought of that, but totally same for my dad - who was in Burma during ww2. Never once referred to himself as a vet as far as I remember

[plugboots]

^^^ My Dad too. WW2 navy vet. Never once talked to me about it.

[booner]

I'm a vet and the only people of my generation that loudly self identity as vets (stickers on the truck...awful t-shirts...vanity plates...etc) are the complete fucking tools that were typically the bottom of the barrel performers in the service as well.

Not one friend I served with that was good at their job and/or wasn't a complete weirdo advertises their military service, besides on a resume

[m2711c]

yep.

[old goat]

WWII vets didn't brag about it because so many went and those who didn't didn't care to let people know. So it was just assumed. My dad--lab tech on New Guinea, then in the occupation of Japan for a year talked about it some, mainly to explain that after living in a pup tent without a floor in a rain forest he didn't care to take us camping. Of course as the WWII vets got older some of them started having reunions and going back to places they served.

Nowadays of course only a tiny percentage serve so it is a distinction. I think universal service would be a good idea. Having a distinct military subculture is not good for a democracy. People of all backgrounds, political beliefs should serve together, get to know each other. (Like those WWII movies where there's always a southerner, and Italian and a Jew. But no black guys. It would also help keep us out of war. Ending student deferments had as much to do as anyting with getting us out of Nam.

Dogs circling the bed, whining at 4a
Ok, let em out
Didn’t need to pee — they go bellowing at a pack of coyotes
Idiot mostly deaf Stella thinks she’s a tough bruiser when she’s just a loud fluffy snack for that pack
I have to go out only half dressed to scare the coyotes away before my idiot dogs will come back inside

That’ll learn me to let them out at 4a
Then of course my heart rate is 100 and I can’t go back to sleep
