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.

But when you don't look...that's when they forget to put your fries in.

Sometimes they mix up the order number and you get somebody's ****ing salad too

Sometimes we'll get a Request for Proposals at work, and they'll require that we mail them hard copies, usually four or five or six.

For crying out loud, people, have you ever heard of e-mail? I have to spend $50 on shipping and pay another $25 for my folders and stuff because you don't want to read it on your screen?

Bwana. Funny shit.

The thing that got my ass wound up this afternoon is I split load a truck to save a trip to the elevator. I tell the truck driver to weigh, dump one hopper, weigh, dump the other hopper, grab your tare, GTFO. I call the elevator, tell them it is split, which hopper is which field, everybody is on the same page. Some how. Some ****ing way, the whole truck gets dumped.

****.

I generally give them a pass because missing items have happened to me enough that I don't even use the damn drive thru anymore.

Lol, I do that. But thats mostly because I lost a couple sets of them.

Some shit on the internet that drives me nuts.

The whole you're/your thing like Bearcat is talking about.

"LOOSER"... JFC people if you're going to go out of your way to call someone a LOSER at least get it right!?

"Oh I remember that game that we ONE". How someone can watch enough sports and be a big enough fan that they are posting on message boards but not know the word "won"?

Life stuff.

My damn mailman walking across my yard all over my drip system even though I have told him several times not to.

People who think its clever to try to slide in line in front of me and all the other people who got there an hour earlier for a public event etc etc. Although, calling these people out and making them look like jackasses is a favorite thing of mine so perhaps it's a wash.

People who take their dogs around and have them shit all over everyone elses yards, but don't bring bags to pick it up.

I don't EVER run around telling all the religious people I know that their church is full of shit and that I don't believe in it, or that I want them to stop going. If anything I'd say it was the opposite, I am respectful that it is their belief, and I leave them alone wih it. Why do they all (not all of course, but most) think it's ok to just walk up and start up all the shit about how I need to think about the benefits of church, and the lord is my savior and I just don't know it yet and I should be rethinking my priorities and blah blah blah..... I don't go ON PURPOSE, so leave me the **** alone!

Drivers who are jockeying for position speeding up so you can't get in and riding peoples asses with this aggravated look on their faces while they are driving in the SLOW LANE! Hey ****o, this lane is for trucks, people getting on and off the freeway, and perhaps vehicles that lack the horsepower to get up to full freeway speed. Why this is so complicated for some people to comprehend is jaw dropping.

Public restrooms that don't have the trash can next to the door. I use paper towels to open the door so if there isn't a trashcan nearby I have to channel my inner Michael Jordan and try to shoot the towel into wherever the trash can is. If I miss, that's the fault of the place I'm in for making such dumb arrangements in their restroom.

I'm walking north, and per societal conventions I'm walking on the right half of the sidewalk.

Coming toward me, a half-block away, is a woman headed south. However, she's walking on the left half from her perspective, so she's walking straight toward me.

I try to train these people to be aware of their surroundings, so I kept my lane. She kept walking toward me. I kept walking toward her. I moved more to the right until I was hugging the edge, but she was unintentionally doing the same thing.

40 feet.

30 feet. How can she not know that she's on the wrong side?

20 feet. No awareness at all that a collision is imminent.

We get about 15 feet from each other, and she gives me a withering look that says, "I'm an attractive female and you're in my way so move out of my way right now or there's no way we'll ever have sex if we suddenly find ourselves as the last two people on earth."

So I moved over, but I really didn't like it.

I looked back to see if she had truly learned her lesson or if she was just posturing to get me to move over, but I don't think she had any idea. She was still walking on the far left side of the sidewalk, as if nothing was wrong.

At least now you're guaranteed sex if you two are the last on earth.

people wearing beats headphones in public annoy me for some reason. I saw this yesterday when a kid was with his mom or older sister. I realize you waay overpaid for those shitty headphones but you are in public and can take a few min to leave them in the car and talk to your traveling companion. Everyone in the dollar store knows how gangster you are now. It is blatantly obvious because you are so ice cold you have to wear your headphones all through the dollar store.

Being an irrational germaphobe doesn't justify littering. Don't be a douche.

I actually agree with this. Have any of you taken note of how many people don't wash their hands after a shit or piss? It's a higher amount than I wish was true.

I'm generous with opening doors or holding doors for people. But when I see a person shoot trait out of the stall and run for the door as I'm also walking out, I make sure to let the door shut on them. I'm not holding doors open for Mr. Shit hands just because he's a lazy uncaring ****.
