[quote=SunnySide;1286119]Do you know what grinds my gears?

The paralegal who sits right outside my office door who has just decided to start speaking in religious tongue for the past 10 minutes.

Never thought I would say this but I much prefer her going to back to playing religious sermons, singing loudly, house searching and talking to her friends .. which she does every minute she is here.[/quote]

I'm a paralegal. I don't do any of those things. And my actual boss that brought me to this job is a die hard Bernie supporter, and we are great friends. If you open an office in TN or SC, let me know if you're hiring!

Just got a new work laptop, my old one was so slow and sluggish it struggled to just open a basic word doc or pdf. A lot of times it would shut down and reboot itself randomly throughout the day. Really convenient when you're on the phone with someone.

We're supposed to get new laptops every 3 years or so, my old one was going on 7 years. :banghead:

Slow drivers in the left hand lane.

Motherfuckers, do you know what the word courtesy is?

We even have signs in VA that say slower traffic keep right, yet motherfuckers act like they're illiterate too.

That would definitely grind my gears! Ignorance is bliss, and so is being an asshole. The amount of cluelessness on the streets is apparently a nationwide problem.

At some point you just got ignore it.

In my head i think yup its fine and its gone be fine because this is the way too do it.

I could go off for hours on the BS men do now a days that were traditional woman jobs but yet they pick up none of our jobs. I am a fairly liberal person but there is defiantly in my generation a whole lot of KARENS.

I do one of two things with them:

1. fill a dog bowl

2. pour it out in this spot in my yard that always gets dry and dies

it makes me feel at least it went to something.

I thought i combat it by buying the smaller bottles, for some reason they are the same price and/or higher then the 16oz bottles. Weird.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

My daughter thinks toothbrushes are interchangable and just grabs any toothbrush. Ive explained the gross factor to her many times. I even use the downstairs bathroom now and let the women have the upstairs bathroom.

This weekend I was finishing up some yard work, just standing there appreciating my days work and she comes walking out talking to me and hanging out with my toothbrush in her mouth. I again explain the social and health faux paus she is committing. She then spits her toothpaste fluid on my yard.

Walking outside on my deck for lunch…beautiful day, not hurricaning out. Feels great 80 degrees, no humidity and then I sit down in one of my baller captain deck chairs.

JFC

I feel it…I stand up and the chairs hasn’t dried from yesterday’s rain. Wet ass, soaked thru
And I’m wearing jeans cause I want it to be fall already. Contemplated punching myself in the face, give myself a pass

The movie industry needs to realize their audience may never come back in full force. Time to roll with the punches and adapt.

Might be a bad thing if the industry stops making 300M budget big films designed for box office tickets and just focus on fiscal budget streaming movies.

I love movies. I love going to the movies for big ticket movies and watching obscure indies on my couch.

Well see. Tomorrow War cost 70M to make and was bought by Amazon for 200M and it seemed to be a hit for Amazon.

Adapt is a good word for it.

Anything with a hose or cord, just fighting them when trying to do the job then having to rewind them back up. I suck at winding up any hose; so annoying.

The best is when it gets dirty and your hands/shirt become a mess.

Seriously

More frustrating is you need to get some place with a cord/hose and its 10 feet away, said hose /cord goes 9.5 feet because its to short or snagged on something.

I am sure my my neighbors have had some laughs seeing a 48 year old have a full on tantrums over cords/hoses.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

This is how it’s going housewise this year:

April: Hot water heater small leak, had to replace install $1300
June: lawnmower started blowing oil at both end, fixed it for about a month…had to buy new one $450
July: Capacitor on my air pump when out. It was like camping in my house mid July for 30 hours $325
August: motherboard went out on Disherwasher…got the new one delivered this past week $475
September: storm fried my modem and cable box not working

I’ve bout had it

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I have put in this summer between home and auto A/C repairs around $2k.

A/C is such such a fragile “necessity “ that depends on so many moving parts to keep it going, it’s flipping annoying.

Anyone else going to a picnic starting at 1:30 pm on Sunday, September 12th for their MIL birthday?


Yeah .. fun times.

Sitting at the dinner table a few weeks ago, my lady said "I have something to tell you and I dont know how ..". I make a few jokes like "youre actually a dude post transition?" or "youre a secret spy?" ...

I could see it was serious.

I said "Its not about Sunday September 12th is it? You didnt sign us up for anything on the first game of the fucking season?"


After a few seconds I realized, you cant get out of this so theres no need to get mad or pout because then you dont get credit .. so I said, after a bit .. I dont think my lady or daughter took a breath while I processed what she told me, everything was super quiet and no one moved ... I said 'Its cool. What can you do?"

Watch it on your phone.

I talk a lot and have social expectations so kinda tuning out isnt an option. besides I want to immerse myself in the glory of week 1.

I did the math, I should be home by no later than 5:30. take 30 mins to handle any loose family obligations and prep time ..

6 pm I should be on couch, cold beer in hand. goal is to start the SNF game by 9 ish.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I just watched a co worker put peanut butter on a biscuit

Even tho on Skype…I had to have a one on one afterwards.

I don’t care what you do behind closed doors, but you do shit like this, it’s bad optics. Butter on a hot biscuit…if you are old or foreign, maybe jam or something. But you don’t put peanut on a hot biscuit.

The biscuits are a vehicles created to bring happiness in the morning…they should be delivering a protein cooked in fat…pork, chicken, steak. Cheese is always advised. Then eggs…anyway you like..stacked on top. Biscuits should always have salted butter.

Are we clear?

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I dunno man PB on just about anything is pretty amazing including a hot biscuit.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pro peanut butter…but on a hot biscuit is a bridge too far. And to be fair cold biscuits don’t exist. I never seen one, let alone tasted one. Biscuit by design are always warm/hot.

If you want to go gravy…then fuck yes. All day, errr day.

But peanut butter?

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Me too. All this talking a little it, that's what I want for breakfast now.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

You are not maximizing your biscuit delivery system. Fat , protein, cheese, egg, gravy, etc. and then coffee goes great with it.

Guys I’m just gonna sit back and watch the world burn

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I'm going to the grocery store tonight and getting some biscuits lol. I will have a peanut butter biscuit in my mouthhole by tomorrow night.
