Shit that annoys you

[lifelinksplit]

Maybe more than annoyed but kinda amazed that I destroyed the conduit and didn't even knick the lines. Brand new service that they explicitly put in the wrong place and didn't flag/mark. Thanks power company. And yeah call before you dig...even though we did.

Hell, forget DRLs, the number of people I see every day driving around in the dark without any lights on at all is terrifying. I don't bother flashing my lights at them anymore because none of them ever get it.

Commuting 25 miles each way a day on I15 for one year of my life gave me enormous insight into this exact scenario. It’s incredible. And terrifying.

This is controversial. It annoys me when people pickup a lost pair of gloves, or hat, or baseball glove, etc from a public place (like a park) and bring it home so they can post about it being lost on Nextdoor/Facebook. This annoys the shit out of me because whenever i lost things as a kid i was always sooooo relieved to go back the next day to find whatever i lost at the place i was pretty sure i lost it. Now you apparently have to search through a clusterfuck feed of Social media bullshit to hopefully find the one post about your lost item, get in contact to coordinate a time to meet, and then travel out of your way to that persons house to retrieve it... instead of just going to the neighborhood park where you left it.

Its people being niceholes and not realizing they are likely just making it harder for others.

[BmillsSkier]

98.3% of them are Nissans..

Lol. The answer to 80% of on-road bad behaviors. The other 20% are a mix of Dodge Chargers, Challengers and RAM TRXs.

This is definitely a major issue in UT. I have a similar commute on I15 then residential streets and if I had to flash all the people who are running dark I'd get tendonitis. And as DTM said most don't get it when you flash them. A few years back I came up on a dark sedan going down 700E (around 21st S so more or less "downtown"), saw it way later than I would have liked and had to brake fairly hard. I got on the dude's ass and flashed him 4 or 5 times, lights never came on but he started getting all erratic, and got out of his car at the next light yelling at me. I popped my head out the window and told him why I was flashing him, he deflated but looked super confused and told me never to flash my lights at anyone or else... Cool bud, I'll make sure to get a loudspeaker to start yelling at people, or maybe mount something to my hood that can scroll text.

Driving to daycare yesterday morning a taco pulls out in front of me, I notice the bed cover is on but the tailgate is down and the bed is pretty much full. Taco makes it to a stop sign, slows way down, then accelerates out and a carry-on slides out of the back and hit the pavement. I immediately lay on the horn then stop and run in the street waving. They never saw me and kept going. I looked for tags on the suitcase or any other identifier, nothing. Took a quick look inside, bunch of clothing, no identifiers. I sat there for a sec wondering what to do. Didn't see which side street and house the Taco pulled out of so no way to know where to return the luggage. In the end I left the thing on the parking strip of the house it fell in front, hoping the driver would notice quickly and retrace their step. It was gone when I got home from work, hopefully retrieved by its rightful owner... That or it was stolen along with the rest of the shit which slid out of the bed on the way to the airport.

This is the correct action. Your service is appreciated.

[The AD]

I agree. The correct action is to move the lost item to somewhere visible, but nearby where it was lost. If you want to post about it on social media just say what the item is and where you found it. Don't remove it. If it's something valuable that could be damaged by exposure that changes things a bit, but I think this is the general rule.

They post the lost item on Next Door which you can only read if you're a member and who wants to be a member. (Full disclosure, I am, but I stopped reading it when I realized what a shit show it is. Do you still have to be referred by someone to join? I think the main qualification is that you consider all dark skinned people suspicious.)

[MakersTeleMark]

The real shit that annoys me is that people only lose one glove.

It is good for lost pets. I read that site for a month after a cat decided to have kittens in our garden. I was going to be more than happy to have given the bunch of them to someone else. Alas, the little fuckers are ours now.

But to your point, yeah that place sucks, lost pets, people begging, and “suspicious kids/people.”

"Guys there's a car parked on the street and someone's in it. I'm getting really worried, they've been there for twenty minutes now"

[gravitylover]

When you hurt yourself so badly that your leg hurts so much that you can't stand up, walk, turn around or sit down without intense pain and you have no idea how you did it. That's fkn annoying.

That's called getting old

[gravitylover]

Yeah that makes it better. Thanx. Good thing we have a set of (well used) crutches and a cool new heating pad.

I fucking slipped down the back steps Wednesday. Middle-aged moment. Dog is injured so he needs to be carried. Retarded me went out in my sandals (with socks) and ate shit because the snow was packed down slicker 'n snot on a doorknob plus the sandals have less than zero traction. I dropped the dog, which really sucked for him due to his existing injuries. I fucked myself up some. And had trouble getting back on my feet. My cell phone was inside on the counter and the only other person home was sleeping. The dog just stood there looking at me while I struggled. Thanks buddy. I discovered that if I put flat ice packs in a string bag they hang at just the right spot on my back, especially if I sit in a chair and lean on them slightly. I am still sore today but dragging myself to my Saturday AquaFit class at the pool helped a lot.

[Thaleia]

Vibes buddy that really sucks.

So how's the dog?

[riser4]

So how's the dog?

Right? He's doing ok. Starting the taper for the Prednisone he started on Monday. He fucked himself up on Sunday jumping off the same steps in a fit of Librela induced zoomies and appears to have pinched a nerve in his neck and tweaked two legs. He's also on tramadol and methocarbimol for two weeks. Dropping him didn't aggravate his injuries that I can tell. Which is a miracle because if he sleeps in the wrong position he'll wake up yelping. Unfortunately the Prednisone is fucking with his diabetes and he's super thirsty and pees a lot. We've had to cover the floors with giant puppy pads and he's in an enclosure in our bedroom at night to keep the pee in one place. He still wants to out at all hours, usually after he pees. FML.

[Gepeto]

...Right? . ...FML...

Oh, take it from an asspert, it already has. You just happen to grin and bear it with aplomb

[PB]

Get some micro-spikes on those sandals, fercrisakes.

[Rideski]

Or aquaseal on the stairs eh

[Buzzworthy]

I wish you and the pups good healing.

[riser4]

Thanks man.

[Lee Murian]

Is it a Frenchie? Sounds like IVDD. We just went through it with our Frenchie, which was super annoying and expensive.

if you are running on the side of the road with no shoulder -- in low light, on a particularly curvy stretch -- when there is a perfectly good sidewalk on the other side, go fuck yourself.
