Shit that annoys you

New words learned today:

Zerk fitting.

I can imagine many applications.

**Timberridge** · 07-08-2020, 12:19 PM

You must have a few on the Porsche?

**BmillsSkier** · 07-08-2020, 12:24 PM

I'll stick my head under there and take a look.

I doubt it will yell GREASE ME though if I find it, disappointingly.

“Grease me” fully deserves to become a TRG meme.

It’s been a long time since I had a vehicle with a zerk fitting. I still have a grease gun somewhere. Anyone need to be greased?

It looks like a clitoris, if that helps Bmills.

The last holdout has been the drive shaft coupling.

If the bushing is dry, lube it.

Little man in the boat under the car? Got it.

I deal with a department who unthreads communication. I’ll be helping them set up a project and have a dozen or so clarifying questions. They’ll go into a huddle for a week and come back with a Brand New Email. Questions are missed and context is lost. Sometimes I’ll re-thread communication, but the next email is unthreaded again.

Obnoxious.

I didn't know that one and I used to grease conveyor belts for a living.

Just wait until you learn what an "Alternator" is!

They probably put alumites on the roller bearing races?

Have you tried greasing her?

Through the grease fittings.

Great job--millwright's helper in a steel mill coal handling dept. "Old goat (not sure why they called me Old Goat when I was 24), go grease A belt." I'd be done by 11, sleep the rest of the day. Next day "Old Goat, go finish up A belt." So I'd sleep the whole day. If you spend all day sleeping on a bench in the coal handling dept you get very dirty, so they figured I was working hard.

Idiots on the town council who decided to repave the one mile path around the local park. The path was in good shape when I rode my bike through there within the last year and I go through today and it is newly paved. Plenty of better things they could have spent the money on, but that is only part of the stupidity. They stripped the old path and now there are 2' lips on the concrete bridges and park bench areas. Lots of kids on razors, bikes, etc now have to ram into these lips and they are definitely a safety hazard. I saw a lady trip and almost fall just trying to sit on a bench. clearly there were kickbacks involved or the paving company was friends/family.
