Shit that annoys you

Need you one of these

I sometimes think my purpose in life is to take beatings.

Pulled an old man move earlier. Half the basement here is crawl space, and to get into it you use this short little stepladder we keep there for that purpose (the floor of the crawl space is about 4 feet higher than the floor of the basement). There's a panel that fits in the opening to the crawl space. You take the panel out, lean it against the wall, use the stepladder, easy. Done it hundreds of times.

Last night I could hear mice in there so I went to set out some poison (traps are pretty impractical in there). Took the panel out, leaned it against the wall, used the stepladder. Noted that my hip fucking hurts as I was climbing in there.

But, set the poison out, go to go back out. I back out of the opening, don't lift my leg high enough because my hip hurts (hip replacement is in my future), I knock the panel over, it knocks the stepladder over right before my foot gets on it so it's gone and so I fall on my chest on the concrete edge. Fortunately landed about two inches blow my ribs, no cracked ribs is a big plus but fuck it hurts right now. Also smashed my left ring finger in the confusion somehow.

My son's coming over for dinner I have to pretend I'm fine or he'll be all over me for not waiting and letting him do the whole thing. Actually now that I think about it I'm sure my wife will rat me out so at least I won't have to pretend.

As a man who has cracked ribs on a couch, a door frame, and a fucking wheelbarrow, I can empathize.

Dude. Should have waited till your son came over. I mean who the fuck wants to deal with mice and poison when there's someone else to do it for you for free

Here's your excuse to start with the Black Tar, Ice!

I was all like dagnabbit I can do it myself, I don't need no whippersnappers trying to help me!!!

Fuck I'm not smart at all.

Naked at the office this year would take it the next level!

I did a deposition fully naked once.

I was fresh out of law school and had an insanely packed trial schedule. My secretary didn't let me know I was scheduled for this depo. She called me in the morning and said, where the fuck are you, I'm getting a ton of calls. I checked my schedule again, and nothing was on it.

I ended up getting patched in by telephone, but the entire deposition was held with me naked on the other end. I might have even taken my morning shit in the middle of it.

You sound a lot like my old man.

Trust me a 30/40 something is better off doing these tasks than a 60/70 year old. It’s our job.

Just give us beer/wine after and say thanks.

I was in jury duty all day. 9 people were dismissed for cause because they blatantly and unapologetically said that even if all elements of the crime were proven beyond a reasonable doubt, they would refuse to apply the law. These were all females, and the case was against a male BTW.

6 people were excused because they knew someone who was a victim of sexual assault, and that connection (all just acquaintances) made them unable to apply the law.

They would just "go with their heart, and not the law."

Are you fucking kidding me? This is after those people swore that they would uphold the law.

I've been there trying to field a jury, but I've never seen it this bad. There are so many priceless quotes over the 6 hours that I heard voir dire. I encourage everyone to sit in on a jury selection. It's like a Jerry Springer show.

I got nabbed for duty tomorrow.
Nice little cold snap and second day of snow in the roads in Denver, should be fun getting there and finding parking. As a self employed person I don’t get paid for this.

Are we allowed to bring ham sammiches? I setup ugly can’t belive it’s nowhere on the FAQ. Who the fuck goes anywhere for a potential 8 hour gig with no food. Been a few times before but can’t remember. Doesn’t appear to be in the website unless I missed it.

Hip flask - bourbon and ham go well together.

Social Influencers. What a crock of shit.

This guy's reply to a self-important twat asking for free services is great. Does she really think Universal Studios Orlando has increase business because of her?

This hotel’s rejection of a social media ‘influencer’ seeking free accommodation is an all-time classic

Obviously. I mean she said it's been amazing for them!

Has anyone else noticed how everything is "super" these days? Everyone is "super excited" to do whatever...
