Shit that annoys you

[xyz]

Was pretty sobering.

Sobering was losing my phone for 5 mins on a travel day. The shit that goes through your mind. How tied we are to these devices is pretty nuts.

Once the social credit system is rolled out it’s going to be so easy to cancel a person.

Don't know if anyone said it but "rolling coal" makes my blood boil.

Was at a stop light in town yesterday during rush hour--csrs and trucks stacked up for a mile behind me. Naturally, Foggy's nemesis--flat brimmed contractor bro in a lifted, clapped out Dodge Cummins, thin blue line and shitty elk stickers, 20" rims with 3" of sidewall on his Toyos, giant soda and vape pen--is at the light next to me, gently reving his motor. "Fuck. He's going to do it," I thought to myself as I see him put his 64oz soda up to his pie hole. Light turns green and he pins it, emitting a giant black cloud all over 20+ cars behind him. Then he pumps the brakes hard to stay under the 25mph speed limit, so he's right back into the traffic.

I mean, I drive a diesel Ford truck and I suppose I could mod my truck so that I, too, could blow tar black ass dust all over everyone at every opportunity....but why? What kind of a spectacular asshole pays EXTRA money to be an even bigger asshole? What kind of a childish douche believes this to be cool?

We're living the Mad Max post apocalyptic future, we just don't know it yet.

Shit that annoys me:

People that creep forward at stoplights, blocking crosswalks, thinking that in doing so, the light will turn faster.

People that haven’t figured out that most traffic lights are timed so if you’re going the speed limit you won’t have to stop. Instead they jackrabbit from light to light and create back up and congestion

Towns that can't be bothered to program their traffic lights so that they are properly synchronized during peak traffic annoy me.

Then again, so do places that have them synced and timed for peak traffic even when there's not a car in sight at 1 am.

It was well known in my hometown that you could make it through the downtown stretch without hitting a red light if you went 10 over. If you went the speed limit, you'd hit the last light as they were all timed together. Spectacularly annoying.

Ours revert to the sensor in the pavement between 2100 and 0700 iirc. Also in WA and maybe other places if you’re at a red light and there’s no traffic you can treat it as a stop sign

I'd like to celebrate Rev being back and deft with the pen!

I got friends that are diesel tuners but not coal rollers. In their defense, they are mostly excavators that use their trucks at work, and pull heavy at altitude.

Winter is here and the posers are getting spit out left and right. Its a not so subtle difference of actually walking the walk. I went sledding last week. We were the only open trailer, dirty stock truck outfit in the lot. But we say no one and had the most fun. At the end of the day everyone else was bitching that the trail wasn't groomed, something wasn't right with their sled and so on.

Spectacularly well-designed, this optimized solution took into account normal driving habits, and safety objectives. Kudos to the city.

Heh. The way we enforce speed limits has annoyed me forever. We should raise them all 10-15 mph and enforce ruthlessly, 1 mph over = ticket. There is no other circumstance where it's perfectly acceptable to break the law by degree.

You live in Idaho, and you live in a smallish town, should be pretty easy to find an appropriate sized potato to stuff into the exhaust pipe when you find the bro-dozer

Agreed.

This applies to rolling coal and many other things. It seems like just being a blatant asshole has gotten a lot more popular.

You been hanging out with pilots lately? "Work work work work work..."



Ted Striker can confirm as to the accuracy of this video series. I think he'll especially appreciate part II that gets into dat hotel lyfe. LMAO!

Those videos have been around for a while now, but when the first one went viral with the aircrew crowd, most missed the irony. It's like the old joke how do you know your date with the pilot is half over? They say, "enough about me, let's talk about flying"

I’ve got 3 close friends. I don’t even know the names of the companies they work for let alone what they do.

A friend uses this line for his and most other jobs: "what do do?" "Stuff, mostly"

That's a ridiculous idea for around here. A lot of residential streets are not designed for an extra 10-15. The local interstate is already 70 - we don't need to push it to 80-85 which means people with radar detectors are gonna go 95. Then there is braking distances, accommodating pedestrians, bikers, etc. Some streets could be raised, sure. But I could give a shit less about that brainwashed "I'm in a rush and very important' game that everyone here plays and nobody wins, ha.

Ahhhhhhhahahahaha - it irritates you dunnit? Me being' an asshole?

CHECKMATE, LIBS!!

[Ted Striker]

My wife is a court reporter and she did a deposition once where the deponent kept saying things like "the pilot's car was hit in the parking garage." It took her a while to realize "the pilot" was the guy speaking.

Lawyer: Mr Cobb...
Mr Cobb: [interrupts] Ahem, it's Maestro.

[concretejungle]

Fucking work. I've been out on worker's comp for six weeks and just started back (one short day) on light duty.

"Did you do this yet?"

No, mother fucker I have not.

[skaredshtles]

Oh - check engine light. Head to the auto parts store to borrow an OBD-II code reader. It spits out code for "slight evap leak." Internet says probably gas cap going bad. Go back in to return reader and buy a gas cap.

Head back out to the vehicle and pop the door - there's no cap at all. Now to find which kid last put gas in the truck.

[Ted Striker]

I find it odd that the thing you spend a good percentage of if not the majority of your waking hours doing isn’t worth sharing or inquiring about.

The answer is right there. If I just finished four days of 12 hour shifts, living out of a suitcase, and got in so late each night that I missed Four Jacks and a Jill at the airport Ramada, work is literally the last thing I want to talk or even think about.
