Shit that annoys you

[flyandski365]

Wouldn't you think that IPhone would have a left hand or right hand use setting? When selected, it would move all controls to the right or left side of the phone so that you can operate it with only one hand! Back button? Why do I need to stretch all the way across the damn phone and almost drop it, just to go back?

Oh, sorry. thought this was the first world douchebag problems thread .....

It is.

lire?

From Middle English lire, lyre, from Old English līra (“any fleshy part of the body, muscle, calf of the leg”), from Proto-Germanic *ligwizô, *lihwizô (“thigh, groin”), from Proto-Indo-European *lekʷs-, *lewks- (“groin”). Cognate with Dutch lies (“groin”), Swedish lår (“thigh”).

Anyone remember when the daily show would do the weekend box office totals in lire?

You know, before it became an annoying polyass circle jerk?

Credit cards where the little sign your signature here strip literally repels ink. WTF Mastercard?!!

[old goat]

Updates to phone or computer operating system that don't really improve anything, instead just making it different so you have to figure out how to use it all over again.

Just got one for my HP printer--the purpose of it apparently being to make it easier and more annoying for HP to try and sell me ink.

Yeah.... I was just fishing.....

I can't remember the last time anyone checked the signature on my credit card--might have been the 80's, but probably earlier than that. DL sure.

People on the bus who think that because you got on after them, you aren't entitled to your half of the two-seater row.

You ride the bus?
Kinda ironic, don't ya think?
After you banned our female, bus driver.

You truly are an idiot. And I didn't ban anyone.

It was only my head. Not used much anyways. But thanks.

All I can say for sure about the incident is that I bashed the shit out of my head on some granite stairs. And bled a whole lot. And got a pretty massive concussion. Remember zero about the incident. Clear memories of what must have been about 30 seconds before but then it's a big long blank...

The 40 or so hours after I woke up all bloody in the bed were kind of a shitshow but it's all good now.

See, you're a pro. Now to master other smooth moves:

How to videos. The vast majority of how-to's are vastly easier and faster to use as simple, clear step wise text with pictures only as needed. Especially recipes. I can follow a recipe just fine without a video, thank you.

Dolts at work that leave their cell phone on their desk and then go to meetings in other areas. A guy's wife calls him all the time to talk about BS and his Phone must have rung 5 different times, a loud obnoxious ringtone. If I wasn't a newb I would've answered and told her he is working and you annoy the crap out of everyone when we have to hear you blabbing when we're trying to save the universe.

Dunno, certain things are enhanced with a video. Putting a new wax ring on the toilet was one such video.

Yeah, I'm probably the most unhandy guy around and I've used youtube to do some stuff on my house and car that I wouldn't have attempted without. Amazing.

[yeahman]

Fuck yeah, YouTube videos are the best for DIY projects, I have used them countless times. Although I agree videos are not necessary to make a recipe. Unless it's Giada.

[BmillsSkier]

This lady and her kids built an entire fucking house using youtube videos. Impressed the shit out of me.

Instead of a signature, mine says "give me a high 5". It always takes me by surprise when the clerk smiles and puts their palm up, and everyone gets a kick out of it.

Can't take credit for that one. Got the idea from a friend.

Really? It wasn't obvious how to replace a wax ring seal for your toilet?

Don’t space out and grab the handle of a cast iron skillet that just came out of a 450deg oven. You won’t like it.

The right videos have hints and tips. And they provide a psychological benefit that instills confidence. If not then you are watching the wrong videos.

[glademaster]

Also, if you happen to be installing your own wax ring without a plumbing permit from your local jurisdiction, you are performing unpermitted work. Not that most rational people will hold up the sale of your house over you not being able to produce your copy of the Final Inspection for the toilet replacement, but I have seen similar things happen. Work involving wax ring seals requires a permit and inspection damn near everywhere in the United States. Just FYI.

You don't need a permit to replace an existing fixture in Canada .

Or Oregon

.... wtf, seriously ... you need to pull a 25$ (?) permit to replace a 1 dollar wax ring. It's not like you are moving or reconfiguring the fixture.

Why is Murica (fuck ya) so full of freedom?

[glademaster]

It has nothing to do with America, it is spelled out explicitly in the IEBC and IRC. If your jurisdiction elects to ignore sections of the code, that's their business, but anywhere that applies the building code fully will require a permit for a wax ring replacement.

I'm not saying that's right or wrong, I'm simply stating facts.

And your little fact sheet about the state of Oregon is irrelevant, unless you're talking about asbestos mitigation, demolition of a structure or working in a superfund site, or dewatering a site, it's unlikely you're going to be applying for a permit through the state. I would be willing to wager that most municipalities in Oregon would require a plumbing permit for a toilet replacement.

AFAIK, permit reqts are designated by local jurisdictions, not the building code
