Shit that annoys you

Oh no it was pretty long, a full page pretty much. I had argued the case pretty convincingly I thought, but point by point they showed me they disagreed.

That's a big oof.

I had some woman last winter wanting to stay at my cabin for a weekend for free in return for which her boyfriend would be able to take great new interior and exterior photos of the property (but only at a discount rate) that would help push my properties rental #s

I told them to fuck off. But not in Swedish. I don't know if they were driving a Saab.

Any offer of nekkid pics from her?

influencers are just the visible tip of the hustle culture iceberg.

edit: if saab were still around in the US they'd probably pay you $10 a post for #vanlife and you'd be "living the dream"

Definitely hustle culture. My wife gets people all the time who want some of her pottery in exchange for something unwanted, more of a hassle, and less rewarding than giving the stuff for free to complete strangers. Most of the "offers" are from folks in the gallery she belongs to. Artists. They are something else I tell ya.

which tells you that someone at Saab had a lot of time on their hands as the company went down the toilet.

Right? I still kinda think they blew their chance.

See how easy it is?

Yeah, thanks, I get it now. Works great!

Shit that annoys you

Mystery smells in my house. The last week or so I’ve gotten the occasional whiff of something unpleasant. Like rotten meat/dead animal/trash. Each time sets me sniffing around all corners of my house high and low like a crazy person, and then when I find nothing I’ll go on a random cleaning spree.... like polishing the handles of my shitty old fridge is going to do something.

It’s an old house. No forced air so no ducts. Something could have died in a wall but endless sniffing of receptacles and any other wall opening yields no clue. Plus I’ve never seen or heard an uninvited critter that didn’t have 6 or 8 legs in here. I was sniffing the ceilings and window/door casings tonight.

I’m at a loss.

Probably not it but following my nose I got in front of the VCR once and it was foul. Unplugged everything, pulled it out, opened the spring loaded door and there was a dead rodent in there. Cat musta chased it when the entertainment center was open and it ran through the tape entry door which closed up behind it. We used it for a few days before finding it and wires were chewed through. Expensive mouse trap.

That happened to me in a rental years ago. I could never find the source, I thought a mouse had died in the walls and I just had to wait it out. I was on the road for weeks and weeks so I wasn't there all the time to deal with it, but months later the smell was getting worse. It ended up being about 14 (alive) feral cats who got in this enclosed space in my roof, only accessed from outside. That sucked! Drove me fucking nuts. Fucking neighbors put out food for them every day, too.

What did you watch, The Sound of Music?

Dude. This is divorce house. Everything I have I bought in the last 2 years. I don’t even have a CD player.

Went in to our crawl space to investigate a leak by our external hose bib, that is annoying. Got covered with cobwebs and dirt, annoying. Went outside to try to wipe all the cobweb crap off my pants, and my wedding ring flew off into the snow. Fuck.

Fuckin crawl spaces are annoying.
