Small things in life that gravel your ass

[Bwana]

What are some things in life that are really not that big of a deal in the big picture, but just piss you off?

My example of the day:

The dogs were barking at something today out in the alley, so I went outside to find out what the hell was going on. Some Slippery Larry contractor was back there unloading a bunch of shit into my city garbage container.

Me: Hey there strokestick, are you my new neighbor or something?

Slippery Larry: No

Me: Yeah, I knew that, then why are you dumping your crap out into my garbage container? I have plans to clean out the garage and am going to need the space.

Slippery Larry: I don't know.

Me: Do you live in a house, do YOU have a garbage container?

Slippery Larry: Yes, but it's full, so I'm dumping it in here.

Me: No, no you're not, try the city dump. Don't let me ever catch you back here pulling the bullshit again, or we are going to have a big problem.

At that point, he high tailed it out of there.

Like I said, it wasn't like the guy was back there trying to break into my shop, but it rubbed me the wrong way.

Toe jam.

And why do they call it that anyway. It doesn't taste anything like jam dammit!

A bad case of the hiccups really piss me off.

When I'm in line at QT patiently waiting, and some inconsiderate tool with a shitload of items decides he's too good for the line and just starts his own line by placing his shit on the counter and standing next to the guy at the front of the line. Of course the inattentive and/or busy QT employee doesn't notice that he wasn't there first and helps them before the people that were there first. People don't need to buy a whole ****ing grocery list of items at a convenience store anyway. Go to the god damn grocery store. Cheaper anyway.

Also when somebody in line at QT decides to buy a bunch of different random lottery scratcher tickets and decides to scratch them all off at the counter after purchasing them. Do that shit somewhere else. There are other people in line trying to buy gas or cigarettes. You're gonna lose anyway.

Lots of QuikTrip ones. Here in Tulsa, QuikTrips are bananas. It's not uncommon to not be able to find a parking spot or a pump spot open. There can be what seems like 50 people in QT all the frickin time.

Also when bums stand out in front of QT and ask for change. They never just ask in passing "You got any spare change?", they always try some bullshit story and waste my time. "Hey bra, you got a second? Hey my car ran out of gas and I got 2 kids and an old lady in my car and it's cold outside and they're hungry." **** off and get a job you piece of shit.

Also when someone in front of QT wants to sell you a rap CD. Nobody wants your shitty CD.

People that ask when i'm going to produce children.
People that get offended when I say "never" to the above question.
People that get more offended when I say "I'll have a shitload more money if I don't" when people ask "why not?" in response to the above answer.

So to sum it up, QT gravels your ass. Got it.

It really does. I guess I need to lessen my dependency on convenience stores.

that.

my typical response is "We'll have kids as soon as you want to give us $1k /mo for childcare and other items necessary for child".

at this point, it's either saving for retirement, or have a kid.

We're tight on money and stressed out as-is....why do we need a kid? lol.

One possible theory is that he'll have a shitload more money if he doesn't.

That's a good thing, those nursing homes when you have no offspring to take care of you can be damned expensive.

This is sexist, and I apologize for that ahead of time and recognize that it's a generality and not always true.

If you ask me to move a piece of furniture with a guy, we're like synchronized swimmers. Around corners, up stairs, we each know where the other one is going and what they're doing. It doesn't matter if the other guy is tall, short, black, white, smart, dumb, or if he's a tribesman from New Guinea. We pick the thing up and we're like Chang and Eng Bunker.

But if you ask me to move a piece of furniture with a woman, we're negotiating and banging walls and I'm always saying stuff like, "Tilt it a little. No, the other way. No, not that way, the other way. Further. Now lift. No, lift further. See that thing over - OW! CRAP! MY FINGER JUST GOT SMASHED IN THE DOOR JAMB!" And when the furniture is finally moved we're not getting along very well.

[tooge]

people that yell at me when I throw shit in their trash bins.

Seriously?
-Ok, people that chew with their mouth open and make "chomp" sounds
-people that sit right behind me when I'm in the slow lane doing 5mph over the limit. (pass me already)
-people that play their music so loud I can hear it with both of our windows up. ur not cool
-people that cuss in front of children
-people that smoke in restaurants. I don't go around farting while you eat, so don't blow smoke while I eat. Blow one after outside.

Yes, the kinder, gentler sex does not take well to shouting nonsensical commands at them while lugging around a piece of furniture.

Kids are awesome, which is why I'm glad some of my friends have them, so I can witness the awesomeness before going home to my clean & quiet house.... or 'like' the awesomeness without every leaving the couch.
