Shit that annoys you

I apologize for my "special" writing. I will henceforth Refrain from disrepectful discourse on TGR.

The Plague abides...

Levers are great for when you're out working on the truck and ran out of paper towels and have to come in, grilling and hands are greasy etc. Don't have to touch and mess up the whole knob. That's what she said anyway.
Never caught a belt loop but occasionally snag a key lanyard.
Hadn't thought about a dog opening, haven't had a dog for a few years.

[The AD]

Just out of curiosity... *why* are people changing out door knobs for levers?

Purely aesthetic for us. The house was built in 1999 and my wife felt the old gold colored door knobs looked dated and I'm sure she's correct. Replacing them with modern looking black levers.

[riser4]

My legs are too short to catch a loop on a lever. So those folks with 36" inseam must be the problem.

Be happy they found the problem before taking off.

Once I had the privilege of being in the first group of passengers to fly on a freshly delivered SAS Airbus A-something from Copenhagen to Newark. The entire cowling was off on one of the engines before the flight while they "checked everything over again."

We made it.

Levers are also great when you have shit in your hands and need to open a door. I've found myself flailing to grab and turn the round knob with a bunch of shit in my hands, and it usually ends with the door still closed and said shit on the floor.
I'm also too short to catch belt loops into a door handle, but recently spent a whole weekend at my in-laws cabin pulling open the drawers with my pants. The cabin has rustic theme and all cabinet hardware is made to look like a small branch, complete with little nubs designed to catch on everything.
Infuriating shit.

Where's that woman when you need her?

[Vt-Freeheel]

Levers are fucking awesome when both hands are occupied and an elbow or a knee quickly opens the door.

Putting the comforter *back into* the duvet. Like why is there only a 3 ft opening for a king size spread. Annoying.

That's what those little tie-in points are for at the corners...

[riser4]

Not duvet covers again. We covered this already.

I usually try to keep the shit in the toilet... but you do have dogs, right? I guess I could see it...

Still annoying. My duvet doesn't have those tie-in points, thanks Ikea.

[Jax]

I did use my door lever yesterday with my elbow after handling a dead bird, so that's nice.

Now that right there is some BULLSHIT.

I swap out our duvet cover (no tie-ins) weekly (small dogs), and am at a loss last why it's annoying. Force one corner into back cover corner, carefully avoid pulling it away while doing same for other back corner; grab both corners and shake out cover over comforter from back end; repeat for front corners, and button up.

If I can do it with arthritic wrists and fingers ........

[Name Redacted]

Yeah, I've thought about cutting them out so I don't have to deal with them.

We cover everything over and over. Do you read the I-70 bitch thread?

[riser4]

She seems nice.

[The AD]

Why are we talking about duvets in July?

[Kenny Satch]

She seems nice.

For real. Wait. Maybe not.

[old goat]

Our puppy ilikes to jump up on us so we're trying to get her out of the habit. The dog show said when she starts to jump up have her sit, which she is trained to do. Except when we tell her to sit when she's excited she piddles. Time for plan B.

Can you get a load of people going slow in the left lane, amirite?

Summertime duvet for the lightweight summertime comforter + dog.

I usually end up standing on the bed to shake the comforter back down over it and then massage it all in to place, a pinch here, a pull there. I guess what's annoying is the process, one would think I'd be better at it after all these years. Googling duvet covers with the tie-ins now...
