    In my neighborhood most of the people hire a plow service. One of the plow services takes snow from people's driveways and parking pads and dumps it on other people's lots, creating massive piles of snow, often full of rocks that have washed down the hill during rainstorms. The piles continue to run off long after the other snow is gone, well into spring, and the rocks have to be moved. Last year we put up a bunch of closely spaced snow poles and a temporary fence which kept most of other people's snow off our lot. This year about 6 of our neighbors with the same problem put up poles like we did. It's a sight to behold.

    I don't understand architects and builders who put up houses with no thought of where the snow is supposed to go or town plan checkers and inspectors who let them do it. Keep your own fucking snow on your own fucking property, period.

    Top 5% of the First world problem?

    Shit that REALLY annoys me? Communication technology today. Just trying to use computers and phones suck up 30% of the time I want to use them. And then they shout at me to buy something ALL............THE..................TIME.

    maybe the problem is cheap fuckers who don't buy snow tires ?

    I went to my girlfriend’s house and shoveled her out. I was running an errand, so didn’t stop in. I talked to her on the phone a little bit later and she said her neighbors must have shoveled her out, and aren’t they so much nicer than mine?! (Her neighbors do help.) Amused me more than annoyed me.

    I’m famous for this, though. She went to a city a few hours away a couple months ago for two weeks for work. I had a friend in town.... had him go get her a big bouquet of flowers, then talked to the hotel and they agreed to get them up to her room before she arrived. She calls me when she gets to her room, and remarks that this hotel is really nice! They even delivered a big fresh bouquet of flowers to her room!

    Sigh....
    focus.

    Ex wife gave a lecture about how her boyfriend told her she doesn’t need snow tires for her new Subaru Outback, and he would know because he is a used car salesman. She got stuck yesterday. Shit. Everybody got stuck yesterday.... but the AWD + snow tires + having some idea how to drive in snow has been a winning combo. I just have a hard time seeing through the cloud of smug.

    Again, belongs in the shit that amuses you thread, but context....

    This. And if any buyer brings it up, day the neighbor teenagers enthusiastically shovel both halves at even the slightest amount of snow and always have it shoveled clean whenever you have had to go somewhere. That ensure a nice tense relationship with the neighbors and the new buyer.

    Funny.

    To some degree, she’s used to people being nice to her. So from that angle, I guess.... she isn’t really surprised by it. But the fault is mine.

    It’s such low hanging fruit I avoid going there.... according to her dude pulls in like $200k/year, though, so all the power to him.

    My son and his fiance clogging their kitchen sink on Thanksgiving. I came over in the middle of making an apple pie. I couldn't get a hand-held snake to the clog. There was a cleanout just below the outlet pipe but the knockout plug was still in it. I thought about opening it up but had visions of knocking it down the drain pipe so I decided to let a pro deal with it. Hope they didn't get charged too much.

    Also the apples in the pie never softened, even though I baked the piss out of it. wonder if the oven temp is off--new stove, maybe I'd better check. I used Pink Lady's which have worked well in the past.

    Pink Ladys are my favorite apples, but I never had them in a pie.

    My kids sneak around and steal my candy. I’ll get a hankering for a take 5, grab the bag off the top of the fridge.... and it’s empty. To add insult to injury, they don’t throw away the wrappers even. They just leave them there. Taunting me. I eat candy rarely, so they don’t even remember when they stole my shit. Could have been weeks ago. Makes a mockery of my judicial system.

    Jerks.

    You can't punish dogs for things they did in the past but with kids it's fine.

    Well, sure, but it’s met with eye rolls and a bunch of “whatevers” rather than anything approaching contrition.

    Just change the password to the internet and cancel their data plans until they replace your stash. Didn't you ever get caught raiding your parent's cabinet?

    Most people don't know what they are., but Take 5s are awesome candy bars, especially out of the freezer.
