There's a lot of things that annoy me. Too many to be listed down I suppose.

Riding my bike like an idiot as usual and I was chasing rain for 10 miles after it looked like it was going to clear up when i left the house. Go around a traffic circle too fast and the bike slides ride out from under me (just like i know it will very easily when the road is wet). Good news is the only road rash is a small mark on my arm. Bad news is I fell hard and broke my f'ing hip. In the hospital awaiting surgery in the a.m. right now. People stopped and supported me on either side and got me to my feet when i gathered my wits. I put a little bit of weight on my left leg and pain city.
Amusing part is we are in the ambulance driving to the hospital and the EMT is asking me questions. He says it sounds like you either broke your hip, broke fibula (I think), or just took a really hard fall, so let's hope for option 3. I said I'm hoping for option 3 also, but if that is it I need to be nominated for pussy of the year because i was in hella pain.

Man, that sucks JD. Hope you have a quick recovery and this doesn’t mess with your ski season.

9hr drive home yesterday. Sucked. Trip was cursed anyway. Flat tire on the way up on Saturday. I-95 outside Augusta, ME. Luckily the mini spare on the Highlander worked. Off the highway and made it to tire warehouse by 5, they closed at 6. So that was extra money I didn't plan on spending. On the way home yesterday the brakes started making some horrific noises. So we did a lot of breaking by letting off the accelerator. Get home and can't reproduce the noise. WTF? ABS issues? WTF?

Same thing on east side of SP a couple of weeks ago just above the Leavitt Falls lookout. Luckily there was just enough space on the shoulder for one car so we got through. Who the fuck tries to take a semi over either of those passes?
I love dogs, but I have to agree somewhat. But I think what you really mean is you hate shitty dog owners on hikes. I mean if a dog's on a leash and very well behaved that's one thing, but I'm just seeing more and more douchebag dog owners. Took a day hike last summer up Carson Pass. Got back to the lake and set up for lunch and all we heard the entire time there were 3 or 4 dogs barking. For like 45 minutes. That was not what I hiked up there to hear. I eventually got very annoyed and yelled at the top of my lungs, "Shut your fucking dogs up!". Really peaceful day.
Just this last Sunday morning I was on a small beach at a beautiful Eastern Sierra lake for a swim. As my GF and I were standing there enjoying the blissful morning and view, a car pulls up and two dogs come flying out. This little mid-sized dog comes over barking like crazy at us. A woman comes down to the beach and the dog gets very aggressive and starts nipping at my calfs. So I said, "What the fuck?" and the lady grabs the dog. My GF says I wasn't very nice, I think it's the dog owners who weren't being very nice.

Airbnb won't let you use gift card balances on a second payment. They hide this from you, however. Just simply don't apply them, and point you to an obscure term that is nowhere visible when deciding to split payment.

so what? It's not like they don't require a credit card, or use that credit card to charge the balance of payment. And have numerous other contractual ways to have you by the balls. Refusing to apply a gift card balance -- money they have already collected from someone -- to a partial payment, without clearly letting you know as much, is lame, and does virtually nothing to protect them.

CBS News.
I loved Scott Pelly, I got used to and liked Jeff Glor though I thought Scott got the shaft but then Jeff got the shaft and now they have Norah O'Donnell who is HORRIBLE. If they wanted to go with a female both Reena Ninan and Elaine Quijano are 10x better than her.
Don't get me wrong, I think she seems nice and in the right setting she would do well but IMO she is not network news anchor material. Her delivery/cadence is off, she frequently misspeaks (reads the teleprompter wrong) and her voice just doesn't do it for me.

She's great compared to David Begnaud on the weekends. Send that guy back to small market local news where he can report car crashes and shootings.
I'm getting increasingly annoyed by PBS news. While I share the general politics of the broadcast the content is increasingly editorial and decreasingly news, with a heavy emphasis on sob stories. Those stories do matter because they show the human consequences of political actions but when they come to dominate the broadcast they lose even their natural audience.

People that get over a mile before a lane closure and leave an empty lane for a mile making problem way worse. I'll never understand

I don't get that either. Merge at the merging point, not some random spot in the middle of the road. I feel guilty blowing by people, but wtf. I care less and less the more often it happens. It's just nice when others follow.
We have a Y intersection right after the toll and the lane turning left gets backed up sometimes. It is more than wide enough for two cars to comfortably merge, yet people form a single line and the traffic backs up right into the toll, so others taking the right turn at the Y cannot get thru. Mind boggling.

Heading northbound into Seattle on I-5 there's a lefthand exit for the express lanes. This lane is carpool only until maybe a mile and half before the exit and, of course, everyone merges into the far left lane as soon as the carpool restriction ends, thus slowing down traffic drastically in that lane. It used to be you could reliably get right up to the exit and then get over into the left lane, but sometime in the past few weeks the DOT painted new solid lines about 1/4 mile from the exit thus preventing anyone from (legally) entering that lane past that point. Seems to be completely counter to the "zipper merge" philosophy that is otherwise advocated. Fuckers.
edit: turns out the change was made last November: https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/news/2018/1...lanes-entrance
