Merging. (normal lane drop...not merging onto a highway from a ramp)
1 car from the left, then 1 car from the right. If your in the left lane you do NOT ride the guy in front of you's ass to block the guy on the right from getting in. And dont try this "left lane has right of way" crap...your DUMB. Or better still when they do it looking straight ahead pretending not to see you till you lay on the horn leaning out the window staring at them and then there all like "Woah! I didnt even see you there! You almost hit me!"
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH [bang] [bang] [bang]
Sorry to double post...had this one a week or so ago.
Im getting ready to move from the straight lane to the left turn lane. I look in my mirror and see a Street triple about 5 car legnths back. Being a biker myself, im extra cautious. I put my blinker on, let it flash 2 or 3 times before starting to edge over. I see the headlight lift as the guy gets on it...I edge a little more, now barely over the line....headlight dives as hes a car legnth back...so i shut my blinker off and wait...he flys buy shaking his head at me...so then i proceed to move over after hes past.
Im sorry, but that was a douche move. He deliberately got on it when he saw I wanted over, then tried to make me look like the bad guy.
I was driving down a street with three lanes going in the same direction. I'm in the Far right lane. Chick in the middle lane is behind and to my left. The lane I'm in starts to merge. She closes the gap as we get closer but shes still on my rear quarter. I put on the turn signal and move over. She closes gap a little more. Not wanting to be run off into the parked cars coming up I continue to move over. She gets all irate and starts honking the horn.
I figure that's her problem.

I've been avoiding this thread as much as the Walmart thread.
So here's just a few things that irritate me, right now:
the hours I've spent in lines that were wasted because of the minimum wage gatekeeper's inability to use some common sense. "SO WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER IS 1/32" SHORTHER THAN THE REQUIRED HEIGHT TO RIDE THIS RIDE!!!! IF THE F'N LINE WASN'T SO LONG I'D GO OVER TO THE GIFT SHOP AND BUY A PAIR OF THICKER SOCKS AND COME BACK!!!
a local pizza place, they make some of the best and some of the worst pizza in the same kitchen. it's like pizza Russian roulette, are you going to get great pizza today or pizza you wouldn't give to the dog?
the lack of common sense
the drivers at my local post office, the post office had to install 10" diameter concrete filled bollard 36" on center because people kept driving into the building. my demise will come at the post office parking lot. I can see it now , police interviewing an 86 year old woman, "as soon as I hit the brake the car lunged forward, the more I applied the brake the faster the car moved and then I heard lots of cursing and a loud thud?"

Similar situtation: Engineer recommends to home owner that an engineer design a few beams. Home owner and builder have a local hardware store design the beams because the engineer was too expensive.
Now the home owner has spent 4 times what the engineer originally priced on another engineer to be told the beams are undersized plus the cost of two attorneys plus the cost of my office and the cost of the original engineer to design the proper beams. Not to mention the cost of the construction corrections.
Best part of this was when the original engineer turned to the home owner and the builder (at a meeting with attorneys and insurance reps) and said "so how much money did you save?" Priceless

People who walk 50 feet to put their cart up on the curb - when they coulda walked 30 feet and put it in the "rack" for return
People who spit their gum out in the parking lot for me to step in. :D

Visiting a pharmacy to buy a product sitting on a shelf, pre-packaged in a shiny box.
I dunno what the experience is like in your part of the universe, but down here it goes like this:
1) Walk up to counter and hand prescription to the Make-Up Princess. Answer 17 questions. Be told "it'll be around 10 minutes".
2) Wait... whilst M-U P hands your piece of paper to the White Coat Overlords on the lofty elevated platform at rear.
3) Wait some more (But why?? Are the WCOs gonna carefully and scientifically prepare your medication with mortar and pestle? No. They're gonna reach for a pre-packaged shiny box).
4) Eventually have your name called at a different counter by a different M-U P.... be handed the pre-packaged product and a register docket. Answer "Yes" to the question "Have you used this medication before?" and yet still receive instructions on how to consume the contents of pre-packaged shiny box.
5) Proceed to a third counter in order to empty the contents of your wallet before having the the pre-packaged shiny box returned to you having now been placed in a paper bag, carefully sealed with tape which you now immediately open in order to check that its as it should be.

Before I get into this, let me first say that I know there are a lot of people that are struggling right now, and do need the help of the government programs such as housing assistance and food stamps. There is, however, a lot of blatant abuse of these programs, and the following is one example.
I stop by King Soopers to pick up a few items, baby spinach, some chicken breasts, a little feta, milk, noodles, etc. Nothing exciting or elaborate.
The woman in front of me in the checkout line (I will add black, dressed like she is going to a club (dress a few sizes too small), make up, nails done..., but this has no bearing on the story yet.) has a cart full of very good looking steaks, some deli sides, general groceries, a couple cases of beer... Someone is having a very good dinner...
Cashier rings everything up, $300 & something, and woman pays with her ebt card. The cashier, VERY POLITELY and VERY DISCRETELY, says the balance for the items not covered is $60 something.
At this point this woman EXPLODES! Yelling at the cashier - DON'T YOU BE JUDGING ME, YOU make the beast with two backsING LITTLE WHITE TRASH SLUT!!!... I'ZE GOTS 5 KIDS TO BE FEEDIN'...
Then proceeds to pull out a big wad of cash - the first three bills in the stack were 100's, and I am presuming a few more that.
Still yelling at the cashier, throws a c-note at her. THERE YOU GO YOU make the beast with two backsING SKANK HO!!!
(manager and another beefier employee are now at check stand, to try to defuse situation)
Cashier, still very polite, rings up the balance, gives the change.
The woman then says "I also need some make the beast with two backsing cash back!" (Something to add to my rant - Cash back from food stamps?!!!)
(Now police have come to escort woman out of the store, and to her car.)
The whole way out of the store, woman yelling at how she has her rights. (clearly doesn't know about the RIGHT TO SHUT THE make the beast with two backs UP!!! even though I'm sure at some point in her life she has been told that before. Maybe even by a police officer)
WTF?!!!
WTF +1
About as fun as my last trip to the store ;D
++++ I hate it when people create racism when it isn't even there. I want to tell them, S.T.F.U., you wouldn't know racism if it hit you in the arse.
That being said, I have been a long time hater of huge companies like AT&T or HP because of their voicemail systems that waste about 15 minutes of our time before we can do what 99 out of 100 people want to do when they call, which is talk with a human.
Our account at work annoys me. The Peachtree software that we use for payroll was updated and she did not notice that taxes and SS were not held out of our pay. It will come out with the next check. WTF?
Plus, on a mileage check she misspelled my last name. The last a was a s on the check. Amature hour. And not in a good way like at the Apollo.

Yes. People do this. For the garage to fully evacuate at the end of a work day, it takes about 20-30 minutes to work your way down from the back of the 5th floor of the garage at the busiest possible time of day...so they add 2 hours in the morning to save 20-30 minutes in the afternoon.

Makes a lot more sense then sleeping 2 hours in your car.
And I know I can get about 2 hours worth of work done in 30 minutes once the office is empty and no one is bothering me so there are A LOT of better options then waking up that early just to sleep in their car.

No racism here-I am married to a senorita from Mexicali, but you should go to T.J. or Mexicali to see how they drive over there. Of course, they take their bad driving habits with them when they come, and they drive like that on the street on which I live. I have two daughters, 12 & 13, and I don't want to see them run over by some maniac.

Ive got a cheapo autozone inflator/gauge...worked really well until the internal orings and seals started sticking and hanging up on things they werent supposed to. Then suddenly the you had to pull the trigger to see the tire pressure, and if the trigger was released, it just kept pressing from the tank. No warrantee, so i ripped it down and greased all the rings...works again for now! (im of the opinion if its broken, why not take it apart...worst case...itll still be broken)

I had a cool little gauge I got from Napa. It was about 2 inches long and had a magnet on it so it could hide in the fuel filler door. that way it was always there when visiting a gas station. one day I put it on the valve stem and it blew apart into about 5 different pieces.

While drone operations have made significant contributions on the battlefield, sitting thousands of miles away from any danger, operating a radio controlled airplane, does not merit this level of award.
Seriously? To put this ABOVE the Bronze Star? And just below the Distinguished Flying Cross?
It dilutes the valorous merits of those that have put their lives in harms way.

I do agree with you though...recognition...fine...but to put it in the same class as medals earned in the field...I don't think so...just give them a challenge coin for chrimony sake...

getting the run around from my primary care physician to get a referral to an ophthalmologist, pay my specialist co-pay for them to tell me 3 hours later "that's weird. we're going to refer you to another specialist." Who also charges me a specialist co-pay to say "yeah, that IS weird. Nothing I can do." Awesome.
So basically I spent a bunch of money and a day off work to be told exactly as much as I knew before.

Seriously...., has anybody mentioned being irritated with the Ducati plastic tank follies? I will be switching to my third and last gratis tank very soon as the one on the bike has become impregnated with ethanol.
irritated that when I listen to the news station in the car on my way to and from work...the broadcast is predominantly littered with repetitive stories about the sequester and furloughs because congress is playing political chicken and posturing for their own party purposes instead of serving the people that sent them there to do their freaking jobs instead of taking a week off before the deadline as a part of it all...
BTW...this is not meant as a political statement of anykind...this is more about people just in general not doing their jobs for which they were hired and making excuses as to why they can't or won't do their job and costing other people money in the process without a care...

A friend of the last ex-gf, wife of a very successful doctor, was quite condescending in comments to the at the time gf about a certain "washed up, failed lawyer, weekend-warrior the only job he can get, bf" and she can do so much better. (and introduced her to the scum that lasted all of two dates)
Now her "Apache pilot" son is getting back from Afghanistan in May, active commitment up, and wants to come home to mommy and Fly Guard.
Now it seems a certain "washed up, failed lawyer, weekend-warrior the only job he can get, ex-bf" isn't so much of a lowlife after all.

Several years ago we moved my mom. During the move, a friend of mine admired an antique love seat that has sat in our basement for DECADES AND DECADES AND DECADES.
As I recall, I mentioned to my mom that friend would take good care of it, refurbish it, matches everything else in friend's house. Ok, loveseat went to friend.
A few years later, mom out of nowhere blew a gasket on me...made her give her family heirloom away....
I go to friend, can I get it back, super sorry, mom was more attached to it than I realized...
Friend: It's buried in my basement, will get to it some day.
I bring it up with her again about a year later (feel very awkward about the whole deal).... borderline rude reply that it's still in basement she cannot possibly get to it... I leave it alone and hope that mom has forgotten about it (yeah, right). ;)
About two years after last mention of loveseat w/friend, get message yesterday that she has retrieved it, come get it, she'll sell it to me for a "great deal" - only $200. 95% certain she got it for $0.
[bang]
And I know my mom won't appreciate getting it back but I cannot not get it back. Another: [bang]
With the exception of the fabric, said loveseat is similar to this (which will end up sitting in a basement again):

I'd get it back and pay her nothing, friends like that you don't need.
I was driving home yesterday, up and over the cascades on a two lane black top. The road was not too twisty, most of the turns are just 45 or 50 deg sweepers that only require a little bit of slowing or none at all. Abut 15 miles from the summit I came up on a Subaru outback with the Coexist bumper sticker who was going a bit slower that I wanted to. So I follow him for the next few miles at the slightly reduced speed 55/60 ish. Finally there was a nice long straight about 3/4 of a mile long with a striped center line and nobody coming the other way.
As I depress the throttle further toward the floor so as to drive by, I notice that even though I'm gaining speed the Subaru is pulling a gap on me, so I give it a little more gas and he continues to pull away slightly and the speedo says about 78 now.
So we have used up about 4/10ths of the straight stretch at this point and I'm thinking what is this guys deal? Applying yet more throttle activates the passing gear and I drive by in the other lane at over 95mph with only the trees and the lake as witnesses to the event. I believe that Joy might have opened an eyelid at this point, I was trying to let her sleep over there.
All of this activity almost caused the dog to stir as well.
I roll off the throttle and get back in my lane before the next turn comes up and soon we are driving along at around 67 like I wanted to be. Within just a few minutes and a couple of turns the Outback is just a dot in the rearview mirror.
Why do some people think they have to prevent you from getting by? I just don't get it.
Because they are stupid bad drivers. It's called the little dick syndrome. Come to Texas... you will see it every day and most of them are texting or talking on their cell phones! [bang] [roll] >:(

Fact #1: I'm a crotchety old fart.
I make that factual comment as to reflect on the following rant...
Is it too much to say "hello" or "good morning" when you cross someones path and they speak to you? I walk my aging, troublesome old dog (she's much like me) every morning in my neighborhood. Every day we walk, damn near to the minute... she tells me when it's time to go. [laugh]
Ergo, I see a lot of the same neighborhood folks everyday riding bikes, walking their dogs, jogging, pushes their kiddos in a stroller, etc. Why is it that young to middle aged folks do not have the common courtesy to respond and say something back when you say hello/good morning? You are persona non grata to them. You don't exist. Who raised these assholes?
I hold doors open for people at malls, restaurants, etc. (Mom & Dad raised me that way) and 95% of the time I don't even get a thank you. That includes old folks in wheelchairs and young moms with kids in strollers!
The words "decency" and "grateful" have officially been removed from our language and culture. Sad. What are these people teaching their kids to be like? See a wounded, bleeding person on the sidewalk and just walk away? An old women trips and falls down and you rush to the nearest Starbucks for a coffee and don't want to be bothered?
It was nice to see the response to the Boston marathon bombings. Strangers helping strangers. There is still hope. [thumbsup] I just wish my neighbors would see that hope...

having in the more recent years become a runner...I noticed that runners do in fact acknowledge one another..so it isn't a surprise per say that the running community rallied and responded the way they did...running has seemingly transcended multiple walks of life and lifestyles and nationalities and commanded a respect similar to the way motorcyclists respond to each other....only with a more widened acceptance...
anyways...back to ranting...sorry for responding

47 homes on 10 acres ?!? :o Holy cow. That's hard for me to think about. I live in the middle of a bunch of small farms. All the places are 10, 20, 80, 160 ect...acre plots. We're in an area where people come to pick their appples, punpkins and christmas trees. I sometimes miss city living, but not enough to move back into town.
The only thing that I've got on my 7 of my 10 acres is wheat.
Spolic man I wish I could get Tht much.. put a few maple trees, some berries, etc.. I want to grow my own food not sell it thgh.. I know its hard work but Im tired of having to spend big bucks for good food..
I want to start a garden, but I'm not planning on growing food.

It's not too bad. Average of 9,268 sqft per lot (not including roads and common areas). The neighborhood where I own a home in AZ has an average if about 5500 sqft lots.

Yea I get to think about it everytime I go out the front door. I called the town to find out what the plan was and apparently they had a meeting and it was rezoned for this kind of building lot. Yippee!!!!

In all honesty, I know I have seen this happen with several other presidents. Nothing new here. It seems more obvious now because of the internet and instant access to MANY pictures rather than a few stills from a roll of 35mm that the public may never see by the time the film gets developed.
Same way as the horrors of war suddenly became obvious to many Americans when footage was being shown daily on the evening news.
I don't think anyone said it was new, just that it's a bunch of bullshit.
True, why not get interns to do that. Politicians all need to "Speak with their hands".lol On the other hand, some Marines might consider it an honor to serve the President, even at a medial task like that.

I am very hard to irritate, but this morning I was doing a 12 mile walk and about 7 miles into it, an oxygen thief on a Harley decided it would be the thing to do to spit at me as he went past. Shooting him off his motorcycle would not have been legally justified, but removing a POS like that from the gene pool should be allowed at least annually. >:(

I can only wonder just how it actually affects the general public of Colorado. They are working on ways to test for it onsite of a traffic stop, as well as a system for level of "highness" and once that has been completed then its still going to be treated like alcohol has been for god knows how long.
So as long as there is no body who is trying to smoke 2 whole grams by themselves and go drive to their local gas station for snacks, who really gives a shit what a few stoners do recreationally inside the privacy of their own home.
I'm not sure what the specific laws state about Chiefing up in public, but if everyone is so against that, why don't we just go ahead and ban cigarettes as well...
It's already been researched to death to show that marijuana is less toxic than cigarettes. And most certainly has less long term consequences than cigarettes and alcohol.

+ 11t ybillion. Same shit here in Seattle. I have no problem with people smoking in their homes, but you can not walk anywhere downtown now without smelling it.
in australia they do roadside drug testing like alcohol testing to a degree
they do tounge swabs and test it in a caravan
i agree to this to a point , drugs have a life in your system but this isnt taken into account for testing
you might have punched a bong yesterday and could come up as a positive
if you want to do drugs then good on you, i dont agree with it and you shouldnt do drugs and drive
just the same as you shouldnt drink drive
but the testing system they are using doesnt have a level shown the same as drink driving does
its a positive or neg

Picture an entire elementary school basketball game devoid of any noise, other than an 8 year old player throwing a tantrum directed at the ref and his "bad call". The kid was screaming, red faced, swinging and kicking at the ref.........only other sound in the room as people looked on horrified, was his mom. 100% detached, having a conversation with another mom while the rest of the entire room was shut down.
Kid, banned from basketball. Mom, a friggin idiot with many a similar anecdote with her 3 sons.

Cruising to work this morning and I'm in the far right lane on a 6 lane road (7 if you count the turn lanes) and some idiot in a mini van from the shopping center on the eastbound side goes full speed ahead to turn left and go westbound. Mind you I'm in the left lane and I'm like oh don't come into my lane, and sure as hell I'm on the brakes and on the horn because he is pushing into my lane. Mind you not another car behind me or in the other 2 lanes.
He does the "hands over his shoulder shrug" like what did i do? So I clicked it down a gear and gave him the finger as I rode past.

Back in the day when I was broke as hell I had a variety of methods for stretching out the payment dates. One of the best was to put the electric bill in the gas envelope and visa versa. It is nicer to have them call and say "sir you put the wrong check in the mail" VS. Sir we are turning off your lights.... That one would buy me about a week......
The other was more nefarious. I would run an electromagnet over the magnetic numbers on a check so that it could not be process by machine. By the time the bank clerks got to inputting it manually it would also buy a week.
In the old days of deposit envelopes and ATM's I would sometimes put a check to the electric company in the deposit enve3lope and pull 300.00 cash. Not a big deal for a week or so........ Then you have to pay it back or they get upset.
So glad to have a decent business these days. It is so much easier to have all the bills on auto pay......

Live and Learn....... We did it three years ago when it first came around. We made good cash; and the people that purchased were web savvy and fairly intelligent. My big mistake was doing a second offer after Groupon started to advertise at 10am mid week. The "quality" of client crashed and crashed big time. I could write a book about it.
I have had people call us and threaten to write poor reviews if we do not take them even though they are over the weight limits or outside the limitations. Still four stars on Yelp which in my industry is remarkable even without doing business with bottom feeders.
In all fairness we have also run into some really great and nice people. A few we remain in contact with to this day (:

Oh well. For $11 it's probably not too bad. Some who have it say it is decent for the money. It'll probably just end up in my tool box.

But, this ended up being a different guy from the regular guy. I honestly believe that I finally made an impression when on the phone with local director of ops(or whatever) and I pointed out that the USPS never has this problem, even when the guy is new. lol At any rate, I am hoping this situation may change now.
My two cents, A UPS driver that is upset with you can make getting stuff pure hell. But hey at least he can't spit in your food!

I am always polite to package carriers. UNTIL, this became a problem. A year ago I had no issues. The previous regular guy was good. Hopefully this new guy will live up to the wellmeaning demeanor of the guy I met yesterday, who I was polite to, after he came back and handed me my package and whole heartedly apologized.

Got to the MVA at 12:15. My number C79. The number being called at 12:15, C34. At 2:30, called wife to see if she could pick up kids from school, number C70. C79 called at 3 on the dot. At 3:02 MVA employee tells me that the inspector wrote down a "5" instead of an "S" on the inspection certificate. "You're kidding right?" was my response. She wasnt kidding. Drove to inspection station, screeched to a halt and jogged in. Inspector handed me revised certificate and Im off. MVA closes at 4. Walk in at 3:58. Made it. Walk up to previously mentioned employee waving the new certificate triumphantly. She asks if I still had my number from before. I told her I left it with her. She points at the 30 minute line to get a number. Directs me to go to the front of the line and tell her that Mary says I need a new number. C129. Current number, C99. Its now 5:15, C129. Another surly, unmotivated MVA employee points out that I didnt write the GVW rating or the mileage on the back of the title. "The GVW is written on the front of the title and its a trailer so doesn't track miles", I hissed. She takes my money and hands me my new plages. Its 5:20 and I walk towards the end of the building where I entered. "Use other exit" sign hangs from the door. I walk all the way to the other end and push hard almost smashing my face on the locked door. The state police officer letting people out forgot to unlock it for me.
Happy Frickin Monday.

Now for the hassle... changing passwords and checking every account setting. How the hell did they get that credit card number? Is there a trojan on the home office computer?
