[quote=Giantone;1224091]HELL YES THEY DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take my youngest grandson to the movies in NC. 11:00 am show.
16 theaters at this place and we are the only ones in the theater with our movie. He chose's the second from the top row as the movie starts here comes a family of eight and the youngest is maybe 5 ,..................YUP, right behind us ,I mean WTF are they thinking??????[/quote]

Oh boy, did you guys move your seats?

This happened to me on a SWA flight from MD to FL or vice versa, I can't remember. Was sitting next to my gf on a half-booked flight, no one within 4 or 5 rows of us. Some retched old bag wanders down and chooses to sit right next to me. We got up and moved after letting her get settled.

Without spoiling anything in John Wick 3, there is a similar occurrence. He sits on the left side of this couch that could seat 3 people, and then another guy sits down right next to him. John Wick stands up and chooses a chair instead.

[quote=mredskins;1224088]There is some physiological reason people do that. It happens with movie seats too.[/quote]

At the movies, at least they aren't giving people door dings are making it hard to exit their cars. Running errands yesterday I paid particular attention to people who parked on top of others. A very small sample including someone who did it to me when I went to the pharmacy at Walmart. The half dozen or so I all saw do it were all males and appeared to be retirement age.

I remember it happening a lot when I had a classic Chevelle SS that was in cherry condition so I parked well away from store entrances to avoid door dings. Often I would exit a store only to find someone right on top of me and no other cars within 50 yards. The town had a large senior population. I wonder if it is mostly older drivers doing this.

Late 70's through early 80's Hemet, California. That was a 1970 Chevelle 454 SS. Fast forward to the early 90's I restored a 1972 Chevelle Malibu 350 when I lived in San Clemente and moved to Riverside Ca, people parking on top of me no matter how far away I parked away.

Some times the love of your life decides to do squats right in front of you so you need 41 extra sets.



It's the naked old guy in the locker room with one leg on the bench swinging his old man balls around like a god damn pendulum that kills me.

A lot but working out as feels very good! Plus nearly two years eating salads without dressing or cheese, really makes me feel healthy.

Nope. I had considered fleeing California for some time. I had been carrying on a long distance relationship with a women in Virginia for many years, she works for the Feds. Being a small machine shop owner with customers all over the country where I lived really didn't matter, so I moved.

Going to the MVA to take care of documentation for the federal REAL ID act. Apparently I have to show your social security card and birth certificate just to get a driver’s license. Yeah I feel so much safer now that some random stranger just scanned my birth certificate and social. What a joke

Two piece's of ID , passport or Original SS card...they didn't look at my birth certificate.


.........and


A bill or bank statment with your name and address on it,they took my...........


Car registration and electric bill.

.........I already had the ID but need my documents vetted ,once I got in it took 5 mins.

It really sux for me...I just got a new driver's license last summer and it should be good for 5 years. But because of the Real ID mandate, I am going to have to get a new driver's license before October of next year.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I just went and got mine today, I thought if I arrived at 2:20 pm on a Wednesday in the middle of the month maybe I'd be able to get in and out.

The amount of documentation you need is ridiculous. They needed my passport, social security card, drivers license and a piece of mail (no phone bill) to run it.

I thought I might be able to beat the crowd since it doesn't go into effect until Oct. 2020 in VA, but I was 15th in line to do it after I checked in. If it's this bad now can't imagine how bad it's going to be when it goes into effect.

I was in the same situation in Maryland mine had the star up in the corner but my paper work hadn't been vented yet . That's all they will do if you have the star you won't need to get a new license .

Couple things lately:

First that Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus song...I swear to god this is garbage. Why do I know that anything with Billy Ray Cyrus will be garbage, but nobody else does?

Slow Drains...nothing pisses me off more than my feet taking a bath in the shower.

Lolol.

/lived off I-95 in nova for 17 years now.

It's only bad because it's summer and also traffic has increased with Metro's blue line south of Reagan Nat'l shut down for the summer.

But I-95 from Fredericksburg to Springfield was also a shitshow before that, they said changing the HOV lanes to HOT lanes would help but all the blue collars can't afford to pay anywhere from 10-40 bucks one way to drive on it. At least some Aussie company is making beaucoup dollars though, right?

Mooby,


Question , in VA do cars need liecense plates on the front and the back of cars and if so,do "both plates need "stickers- tags"?

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

summer time and kids.

Put them in camps for the whole summer big $$$

Keep home they are bored and driving you nuts.

My kids are 8 and 11.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

guys, I lived in northern va for 5-6 years...I simply don't know how you deal with the traffic. I return up there usually every couple years to visit, IMO its getting worse.

I would have to take a work from home position at least a couple times a week if I ever moved back up there.

I am self employed and walk to my machine shop on my 10 acres to work that is how I deal with it. I try to shop and run errands during off hours. I avoid I-95 like the plague. Any trip between Richmond and Fredricksburg I take back roads.
I don't know what it is but that stretch of I-95 between Ladysmith and Ashland is real wavy or something. It feels like I am driving in a 65 mph cross wind that keeps switching directions.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

What grinds my gears? I currently am extremely miserable at my current place of employment. I have a bad boss who has anger issues and likes to micromanage. I have a subordinate who doesn't think he needs to respect authority. I have high anxiety every morning because I have to be at this job. It pays really well though, and my family and I are getting ready to close on a new home, so I'm trying to survive each day until I can get out of this place! Anybody who happens to know of a good IT job that would allow me to work remotely, let me know!

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

This has been a fucking epidemic lately, but people just walking into my office and asking me for help without first checking if I'm busy is grinding the fuck out of my gears. I do IT support, and the culture where I work is to leave your door open, otherwise people think you're out of the office.

Should I just get over it? I ALWAYS ask someone, "Is now a good time?" when I come by unannounced. Just because I'm in the office doesn't mean I'm not doing something meaningful on a server, remote help, etc. Just feels rude as hell.

Ah the ol' dump and run. I have several techs/foremen/dispatchers that love to do that. Slide open the parts window, dump the ticket/invoice and walk away quickly before you have a chance to say anything. If it's a tech they just come back in 5-10 minutes and ask if you worked on it yet.

It is rude as hell but I've gotten over it. Gotta pick your battles.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

What is annoying to me is "Job Applications " on line! First I'm an old shit(63) and have been retired now for three years . I feel like getting back into the work force but now all applications are "on line" and demand resumes.
I have gotten every job I have ever interviewed for in person in my life.........everyone. I walk into place's and talk to people and they tell me all our hiring in done on line. Place's tell me they need people but I have to go through the "website". I'm not a Doctor or Lawyer I work in Distribution and warehousing .I was in one company talking to a lower level Manager and he asked about my resume...........I told him my age and that I retired from a job I have had for 31 years , that I had license's in all the equipment they use and that I had a degree he said ,..........you might be over qualified. WTF?

I hope I never have to look for a job again. At my current job I was hired w/o having to apply, as the person in charge worked at my former job.

The absolute worst is when you have to do multiple applications and you have to fill out the same shit over and over again. Fucking terrible.
