you must work for my accountant. And the apps he uses change every year. And this year he stopped working due to his sister in laws illness and filed extensions for a bunch of clients--not me fortunately, because I owed, but a lot of folks won't be seeing their refunds for years.

Update: this is exactly what happened. Guy comes in with just a wrench. Starts it up and say "yep, doesn't work." Also managed to scratch our dryer with his wrench. Bottom line is they're now delivering a new washer AND dryer in a few days. Hope it goes better on the second try!

Yeah!!! WTF?! Been happening to me too!
Kirkland batteries used to be great quality at a good price. May have been rebranded Duracells or something? Annoying AF to keep having to clean up battery compartments. We're not talking old batteries either. Did Costco switch suppliers or something?

Kirkland = Duracell
Pretty sure, well, maybe.
Duracell do the same damn thing. You want to use anything BUT Duracell or Kirkland.

I've not had as much of an issue with Duracells. These kirkland batteries have been terrible.
They could still be made by Duracell I guess, although the contacts on each end are a different shape.

The smell of bagged fertilizer and pesticides when making a quick trip to wallyworld for duct tape or some other stupid shit. Must the entire half of the store smell that way? It's unavoidable. Can't be healthy.

Ha, I remember our dog getting progressively freaked out by a bag of chips we bought in Denver as we drove up to Aspen. We didn’t know what she was reacting to at first. It was crinkling softly as the bag changed shape. It finally popped with a whistle, and the dog finally settled down.

Our house sits in a wooded area, and we've always had bats that hang out in our eaves. We get a bit of bat shit on some of the porches, and occasionally hear some scratching in the ceiling or in the chimney. I figure they cut down on bugs in the area, so it's worth the minor annoyance. We've never had one get inside the house though.
Until last night. Finishing up a movie and I notice a bat circling around the room. Opened a door, and after a few more laps he found his way outside. Not a huge deal.
So we go to bed, and just as I'm about to drift off, I notice another bat circling in our bedroom. This is down a flight of stairs and at the opposite end of the house as the other bat incident. With a little more effort, I got this one to fly out a door as well.
So now I'm wondering how the hell two bats got into different parts of the house on the same night, when we haven't had a single other bat in the house in the three years we've lived there.

Got bit by a Bat
sitting in my living room 2pm in the afternoon on a Sunday. Worked the yard all morning and came in for lunch. Slipped into a food coma in the easy chair.
Grew to the size of a regular tampon. Holiday weekend and fam doesn't get back till Tuesday - so me and the dogs hang. Arm grows x3. Tuesday morning 2am ER - instant panic - color ultrasound. Call the surgeon in for possible opened skin antibiotic lavage to save the arm. Mark the parameters of the crazy swelling with a ball point pen and start antibiotic drip.
Things went the right way. 5 days in the infectious disease ward. The guy in the next bed; 47yr old truck dispatcher dies from complications of a swollen leg from heel to hip bigger than an average sized elephant.
Post hospital stay - Full Rabies Protocol - shot with a horse syringe 5 times.
Good thing I was home alone. Everyone in the house would have had to do it too.
YMMV

Shit That Annoys You
Waiting for the chronically late (and unskilled) fridge repair guy. At least this time he texted me to say he was three hours behind. Service call #6 since last November for those following along.

The townhomes where I previously lived south of town, built in the 70s, were known to harbor bats. Most of the buildings had netting at the highest points to prevent them from creeping in between the walls. Most were ineffective. One unit was particularly bad, new owners decided to get at the root of the problem, ended up having to replace sheet rock throughout entire building. The bats were living and breeding between the walls. Gross AF. Not easy to get rid of.

Reminds me of this weird story: https://www.ksl.com/article/46423181...te-in-74-years
"The bats would lick our fingers, almost like they could taste the saltiness of our fingers, but they never bit us. I had no clue," she said. "We would wake up in the night and they would be walking on our bed. I've always thought bats were kind of cute, but I had no idea the kind of risk we were at," Giles said.
