Life Small things in life that gravel your ass - Page 19

**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.

They say if you eat a pepper that's too hot, yogurt can neutralize it in your mouth. Better than milk can. Just FYI in case someone accidentally eats a habanero pepper or something equivalent. Water will just make it worse.

People who will back up traffic in a parking lot waiting on the old lady to pull out from her parking spot so they can park 3 spaces closer to the damn door rather than getting out and walking their fat asses that much farther into the Academy Sporting Goods Store. There were spaces literally 3 cars farther away they could have pulled into, instead I had to wait to leave because they blocked the isle I was in waiting in someone to get in their car, start it up, and back out so they could have THAT space.

There were open spaces all over the damn place, holy shit.

Happened to me at lunch today.

Confused as to what ****ing difference it makes.

This is pretty minor but I hate the panic button on today's key fobs. The one for my car is on the back of the remote and I end up accidentally hitting it all of the damn time. I doubt they are very effective either. I know my first thought when I hear an alarm go off is "moron", not "I wonder if someone needs help".

They should at least make them so that you have to hold the button for a second or something or let you program it to turn it off.

People who get really upset when someone tries to call them out in a joking manner but they don't have a sense of humor.

I hate it when I accidentally touch a 3D sticker or DVD cover. That sensation just totally grates at me. I hate the sound of someone else touching or scratching them too. People who know this about me will chase me around with them while scratching them. Ugh, just typing this makes me shudder.

I'm that way with wood. Biting on a popsicle stick is like sending a shock through my system.

Lol, that is fitting... with the beaver pic and killing the wood and all.

It really bugs me how many times the word "program" is used in college athletics.

Not worth a new thread, so I used this old one.

DEATH BY POWER POINT

I know there are a lot of you who have been through the same dreadful experience that I had to endure once again this week. Some clueless robot will show up for some "training" and go right for the power point slides. As if that isn't bad enough, most of these sheep read right off the power point slides rather than deviating from them with some kind of interaction and at least give people a fighting chance to stay awake.

This windbag was there all day subjecting us to power point after power point presentation. If I want to torture myself that bad I will just sit in my truck and punch myself in the nut sack every 5 minutes, hell at least that would keep me awake. There were people dropping like bricks and drooling like a mastiff after the first hour. What's worse is most of these clowns have the same personality and a monotone voice and are capable knocking out the worst possible case of insomnia. The 4th of July weekend can't come fast enough.

You just described 75% of my safety meetings. The only ones I can stay awake for are the hands-on classes. CPR, pole top rescue, sky genie (rapelling), etc... Most of the time, I eat a donut and drift away in my shallow mind.

Golfing with guys who put their headcovers back on their clubs (normally the driver) every time they get back to the cart. It's so pointless and I've asked several why they do this and they always give nonsense answers. They KNOW its pointless they just can't stop
