Life Small things in life that gravel your ass - Page 16

**Bwana** · 01-28-2012, 03:36 PM

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.

I know its silly but it drives me nuts.

Its not silly the people who do that are idiots. It happens to me every ****ing day. Those people need their damn Drivers Liscense revoked.

I get you don't like others kids. I'm sure you never cried in public as a child. If I heard someone say something like that if one of mine were crying, I'd gladly spend the night in jail for knocking their teeth out.

I can totally respect that then. As you know, however, there are too many Duke/NC fans across this nation for nothing other than the sake that these program are always winning. These are the bandwagon fans I was referring to.

As would most fathers. I doubt that guy actually says those things where he can be heard. Even thinking something like that shows an off-kilter person.

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.

Sounds like what you really don't like is going to QT. Whatever that is...

I had one daughter in master choir and still have a daughter still in orchestra.

...at the end of every performance, they have people from the school stand up to be recognized and then patronize the parents for "letting" them teach our children and thank us for being there.

Sounds like the root of his problem is he lives in Tulsa.

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.

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

The reason you have noticed this is because most women have the spatial awareness of a vision-impaired lump of jello that has been dead for 3 weeks and left in a vat of hydrocholoric acid and have moved fewer pieces of furniture in their life than you have hairs left on your stick figure dome.

Pretty much everything has already been mentioned but I have a few more.

People that make noise when they eat. I can't be in the same room as my father-in-law when he eats cereal in the morning. He slurps it and then makes smacking noises while chewing. Great guy otherwise.

The fat vultures that block the aisles circling around the free food samples at Costco. This always pisses me off. Park the cart somewhere else and walk over to get it. Or better yet, don't eat a bunch of junk food when you go shopping.

I've mentioned this before but I still run into it all of the time - people that drive slow on a two lane road and then turn into Mario Andretti when they get to a passing lane, only to drive slow again afterward. Canadians and old people in Subarus are 100% likely to do this. A related peeve are people that speed up when you catch up to them on the freeway and either not let you pass or will speed up and pass you back after you pass them only to slow down again.

People that don't know how a roundabout works and will either come to a dead stop before entering it even if there is room to go or will just barge right in even though there is a car.

Snow plow drivers that have had nothing to do all winter but can't be bothered to go out a second time when it finally does snow to clear the slush before it freezes solid again.

Boy, this is true. When we did our remodel/rebuild, it was a total exercise in patience to try to get my wife to understand how things would lay out. We had to stake out or lay tape down to mark room size, etc before she could see it.

Bandwagoner. No, really. Back then they actually had bandwagons.
