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.

I really grinds my gears when I hold the door open for a woman, just being polite and holding the door, and she walks on through without a thank you or anything. Can almost feel her attitude.

I'm not trying **** you, you bitch.

So today it happened again. I stalled and waited for her to exit. I went through first, held the door until she got there and then let go. She called me an asshole as I was walking away

If that's what you want to call it then I'll be a douche. I just know a surprisingly large number of people don't wash their hands when they get done pissing or shitting and if I can help it, I don't want to touch the same surfaces they're touching.

I am not a complete germaphobe but ditto that.

I always use a paper towel to open a bathroom door on the way out, or if there are no towels, the side of my shirt.
Just one of those things.

I actually agree with your basic premise. I never touch bathroom doors without a paper towel; but I will contort my body in any way to make sure the balled up towel lands where it should because I'm generally pretty neat and try to be considerate of service workers.

To Fish's point, you have to realize that you're really not saving yourself from a damn thing. Those people that don't wash their hands (which is probably as high as 50% or more) are going right out into that public place you're at and touching the menus, table tops, counter tops, door handles, etc. that hardly get washed.

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.

You got a problem?

Don't arm bar me bro

Also, being fat and lazy should not qualify you for a motorized shopping cart

People that park their shit in front of my house for days. My neighbor had some people over for the 4th and some truck has been parked in front of my house since Friday, hasn't moved. I hate that shit.

Project managers that constantly agree to unrealistic schedules and expect others to pick up the slack for their stupid decisions. The problem becomes compounded because the scheduling affects other projects which affects product quality.

I don't do drive thrus. I will park and go in and get it to go.

[philfree]

People who find things on the golf course and don't turn them in at the pro shop. If your not going to turn it in then just leave it alone because there's a good chance the person who lost their stuff will probably come back and look for it.

And on another note have you ever licked a girls asshole that was gravelly?

I almost always have special requests (dietary), and I'm checking my food. It takes about 20 seconds, tops.

THEY **** YOU AT THE DRIVE-THRU!!

That completely ruins the point of going through the drive-thru to begin with. And I'm not going to go back around and wait in line again. So chill.

Well, that was a pretty assholish thing to do. I prefer the passive aggressive approach in those situations (drives me batty, too, when you hold the door and not even a nod): when that happens and they walk through, I usually say something like, "No, thank YOU for the privilege of holding the door for you." Effectively gets the point across that they were in the wrong.

What you did makes you look like an asshole for no reason, because you can almost guarantee she didn't remember you holding the door for her the first time, and she likely had no reason to believe she'd done anything wrong.

Sample guy at the deli meat counter. I'm as intrigued by the sliced buffalo chicken as anyone, but if there's a group of people hovering around you waiting, just pick out your shit and move along.
