Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Thanks again guys! Yeah, people within my own department are fine. I like all of them and trust them all. But, the people outside of the department are the ones I can't trust! Of course, I also find out today that we're overdrawn on our account- seemed like insult to injury on that! We're also trying to sell our house. Once we sell our house, then I could actually expand my job search since we wouldn't necessarily be tied to the area. I would rather head up to Virginia, but I don't know if my wife would be willing to move.

reach into my big bag of trail mix....pull out a golf ball size clump of raisins. Looks like a glistening turd. I hate raisins.

my chick says that's Kap Karma cause shes a bleeding heart liberal and I was bitching to her about Kaep...right when I pulled it out the bag

Continued Education. My state requires that I do continued education every two years. Well nothing has changed over the years so I do the same crap every two years. The online class forces you to go through each page which is timed before you can continue. So, I'm forced to click through each page before I take the test. Hours of wasted time when I could have just taken the test and scored 95 or better.

The sate requires it but are you the one paying for it? I ask becuase that is the same boat my wife and daughters are in .All three teachers and all three have the continuing educating but they must pay for it themselves and do it when the class's are available, IE it might be at night or a Sat during the school year or during you entire summer vacation.

So several weeks ago my local morning sports radio guy went from mornings to the afternoons...he is outstanding, logical with great coverage of local, regional and national topics.

So they slid in the morning junkies as the morning sports radio as the accompanying move. Ive tried...

Agree, not a fan of the junkies.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

The junkies are awful. The fact they have had a career as long as they have had shows how little the general sports fan values analysis and sports knowledge over drivel.

I feel like I could say the same for most talking heads' opinions in radio/tv/print.

I could count the number of Redskins media members whose' opinions I trust on one hand.

A$$ Holes that chose to keep the High Beam headlights on at all times!

Recently I have been Blinded multiple times by jerks that keep their High Beams on all the time.

Seriously...when did keeping the car's High Beam headlights on all the time become a thing?

Also on the other end of the spectrum...what the heck is up with the idiots that done use any headlights at all?

Nothing like a late response. Yes, it cost me about $150 for continued education. I wouldn't mind if I learned something but its the same stuff over and over again.

$150, you're getting off easy.My wife and daughters drop anywhere from 750 to a grand a year"for continuing education" and the deduction for it is no longer there.

Oh when the rules do not apply to others. And think that they can get away with it. But you have to apply. They think they are better than thou. Ever had that happened to you?! Many times for yours truly.

I think it has to be a regional thing. I used to live on winding roads back in the Southern California mountains where people drove with brights a lot, but at least they dimmed them as soon as they saw approaching lights. Here in Central Virginia on the winding back roads they dim them as they are passing you, way too late. I have a feeling California cops ticketed people that blinded others and the cops here don't.

I hope the court cleans him out. I'm not sure how much lower you can get than shitting on families that had their kids mass murdered.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

When you drop your car off Monday at the crack of dawn thinking you're getting it back in a couple hours. Then you get a call Monday afternoon saying they need it overnight. Then Tuesday comes and they call back that day and say they need to tear apart the whole engine and need it the rest of the week and the weekend. Then you get home Tuesday and both your favorite baseball teams lose and your favorite basketball team's season ends after choking away a huge lead in the 4th quarter. Today can go fuck itself so fucking hard. That grinds my gears.

I can understand the car issues, sometimes you don't know the extent of the problem until you tear into it. Also it seems your auto parts stores and dealers don't stock the inventory they used to. Everything is in a main warehouse states away or drop shipped from a supplier. On the other hand auto body shops are notorious for quoting short lead times they never deliver on.

Got a Wedding invite and it says "Black Tie optional" , WTF does that mean...it's either a Black tie formal affair" which means I am not going or I can go in my Navy Blazer a nice pair of Dockers and a tie and not look like a bum.

I feel your wedding pain. I have to rent a $220 dollar tuxedo to go to a courthouse wedding next month. That makes no sense to me.

If it's "Black Tie" then say so but if you make it optional....I mean??? I realize if I am in the wedding ..ok sure but I am an out of town uncle and do not own a "Black Suit".

People at the gas station who use the window washing squeegee by the pump to wash their entire vehicle.

straight up trash

Another thing that annoys me at the gas station is when all the pumps are taken and everyone is inside the store. If you paid at the pump move your ass to a parking spot so others can fill up.

truth.

Also shout out to the assholes who fill up, then get in there vehicles and don't drive off immediately. They in there making a cell phone call, surfing the internet, picking music selections, etc. Or they sit and wait for someone who went in the store and grabbed a 48 ounce soft drink they didn't need.

General rule: Get gas and drive away

Whew at a volunteer event today and met the asshole sports fan you always dreamed of:

Baseball: Yankees
Basketball: Lakers

Nope...he replied, “Duke”

I used to live in So Cal. Laker fans are the worst. They attract a lot of band wagoners when they are doing well. It used to be the further they got in the play-offs the more of those car antenna Laker flags came out. I used to like to screw with them in the sports bars back in the day. You would have people claiming to be life long Laker fans yet they couldn't name any of the past players on the team.
