    You know what gets my goat?
    It should be MANDATORY for every business or entity to have their phone number on the upper right hand corner of their website. Even on google search. If they can show the name of the entity, surely they can post the phone number (or email address if they don’t like phone calls). Scrolling down to the ‘contact’ button on the bottom of the page is bullshit.

    Oh ya. We had chocolate projectile vomit in the mini van once. Plus all kinds of other flavors, but that was the hardest to get out. Kids. Then they grow up and go to college.

    It wasn't bad to get out at all and it didn't stink, just smelled like peanut butter. The only real annoyance turned out to be the 2 beers I had freezing before I could finish them.

    Don't even want to think about them eventually getting to that stage of life yet, but trying to make the most of the time with them while I can.

    Not so much annoying as just mind boggling: some body already in the turning circle stopped and waved at me to go forward after I had stopped to properly give them the right of way ..... and then proceeded to get angry and flip me off when I refused. There were cars behind them.

    Niceholes cause murder and mayhem. It was certainly on my mind.

    Try bike commuting. 1/3 of drivers think it's a travesty that they can't legally run you over, 1/3 begrudgingly respect your right to be there but think you should be drawn and quartered if you roll through an empty residential 4-way stop at 5 mph, and the other 1/3 are niceholes who will stop and try to wave you through a packed 4-lane arterial.

    Now, dusty pre-ground coffee, that shit annoys me.

    Rode into work today and at a four way stop I stopped to wait for the car that beat me there. The dude driving started yelling and waving his arms and then flipped me the bird as he drove by. Still can’t figure out what I did wrong... 🤷♂️

    The city put stop signs at the entry points of a traffic circle in my neighborhood that’s been there 60years because people are dumber now

    My SoCal recent transplant 50 something neighbor ran his super lightweight battery powered snowblower over my public walk at 6am this morning. Turned 10 inches of fluffy medium density snow into 2 inches of super dense hardpack.
    My work today:
    My private walk: 10 minutes with a light shovel.
    My public walk: 30 minutes with a light shovel, ice scraper, and heavy shovel.
    Gonna be nice when I’m gone for a week storm chasing.
    When I’m home, not so much.

    That would fucking annoy me. Roundabouts aren’t for stopping. They are there so you don’t have to stop. That’s why you have a roundabout.
    focus.

    Car manufacturers that assemble the whole vehicle around the headlight bulb.

    Making near total disassembly or access through the tailpipe necessary to change them.

    Either that or you need fingers like ET. Including the one that lights up to see what you're doing.

    You actually have to remove a wheel to change a headlight on my wife's suby.

    I will try to make a long story short. Neighbor kid my son's age broke into our kitchen while we were sleeping and stole some booze and a little bit of spending money. It snowed a lot yesterday, so there's clear tracks to our window. Oh, and he left his boots outside in the snow, must have come off when he came in.

    The kid's had a shitty life starting at a young age and lives with his adoptive grandma. She's completely overwhelmed by the issues this kid and his sister have stemming from heredity and trauma at a young age. After this, he'll probably go into DCF custody. Grandma tried to do these kids a solid and was just in over her head. Her adopted daughter, their mom, has very serious mental health issues. There's a lot more that I won't get into.

    My wife called the cops. After he was released they said he had to come apologize. My wife listened. I of course was more like, where's my money, bish?!?! That and my mostly full bottle of Bombay Saphire Gin. I wish I'd been a fly on the wall when they tried to drink that. They tossed it out I am told. I am thinking punishment should have been me making them drink it neat.

    Fucking stoplights
    When the power is out it’s a four way stop sign. Come to a full stop and wait your turn

    Some people are assholes, but most just can't figure out when it's their turn at a four way stop, especially if it's more than 2 lanes each way. Hell, I think I went out of my turn today.

    You are an embarrassment to Australians everywhere not owning a Land Cruiser. And complaining about a poorly designed Grand Cherokee is like complaining that rain gets you wet.

    Oooh, that's an infuriating one. It's like the designers and engineers who came up with that nonsense have never turned a wrench in their lives. The designers are like "Make the car look like this." And the engineers are like "You got it. We'll do whatever it takes. Routine maintanence be damned!"

    Bulbs, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, etc. ALL should be easily accessible, but NOPE! Chrysler products are certainly some of the worst offenders, but these days seems that most manufacturers aren't far behind. That gap's definitely closed. Now that so many have even gone to non-serviceable, sealed transmissions with supposed "lifetime" (it's not) fluid, many of these aspects are worse than ever.
