Mine seem like nothing compared to your wife's knee (shudder), but yeah. Two-month long nebulous wrist injury was finally diagnosed as an EPL tendon rupture. Saw a hand surgeon who recommended leaving it alone and gave me the all-clear to do whatever, and barely a week later I take a backwards downhill fall that puts my scapula square on a rock. Two weeks out from that now and the scapula still hurts and it looks like I have a Grade II AC separation. My Shred Dogg arrived the day before that fall :(

This fucking woman in front of me at the car wash that's taking like 45 minutes to wash every little nook of her shitbox suv.

We all want a clean car, but it's spring and the snow is melting. The car's gonna be a mess again in 2 days. Do a quick spray down and get the fuck out of the way.

Shit that annoys you

I like when a group of 2-4 adult male chuds show up to wash their cars together.

the fucking odd size baggage return at EWR
HOLY SHIT
it comes out in a restricted area so you cant get to it.
then one girl lugs all the skis & boards, etc onto a cart ( as much as fits) then she wheels it down a ramp to people waiting
then when most are gone she wheels it back up, takes off the unclaimed and puts them in a pile and repeats.

Maddening

took us 50 minutes to get our skis on Sat

When I lived in Boston, I stopped going to the local car wash on Saturdays because it always devolved into 4-5 local d-bags blaring music and showing off their 10 year old, clapped out, lowered BMW/Merc/Audi/Lexus/etc. while taking up space for people actually washing their cars.

You guys wash your cars? That's what rain showers are for.

So you like to complain that there's no rain.

If you see these at Costco and are intrigued, don't be. They suck (as in just barely edible). That's annoying.

Haven't every tried them, but I tend to live under the assumption that there is no shortcut to good ribs.

Except Brad's Pit BBQ - but that's just a shortcut for me - he doesn't cut any corners. Mmmmm... ribs...

yeah, that's on me, looking for a shortcut. But I was expecting meh, hoping for decent. What I got was "I spent money on this so I better choke them down".

Baby backs are also just so easy. Spare ribs take a little skill/knowledge and a hell of a lot more time so a shortcut would be tempting, but BBs can be can be done in 90 minutes.

That's still a lot less shortcut than unboxing and microwaving some Costco ribs. But your point is a good one.

Being banged up I've been watching a lot of TV. (I'm good with MSNBC's politics, but damn they have some idiotic hosts and commentators. A lot of people whose only qualification is that they have an opinion. True of all the cable news, of course.)

People who speak for others and create uncomfortable situations to make their own lives easier

"The cabinet supplier said you'd be able to meet the truck and assist with unloading"
"Interesting...you'd think that for a $12K cabinet order they'd be willing to either send two guys or operate a lift gate box truck and a dolly. I'd be happy to do it at $55 per hour including drive time. Could you please have the cabinet supplier provide the exact time of the delivery such that I don't have to stand around and waste your money"

>>>ensuing shit storm of emails about me not being a team player and charging unreasonable fees etc. It's a $2.5K cabinet set. No, I'm not gonna agree to drive 45 minutes to stick my thumb up my ass waiting for your "delivery window".

Can’t be any worse than people who think boiling ribs is part of the cooking process

Woods Valley.... my local bump. Nothing huge. A fun place to pass the time, but damn, they seem to shut down earlier and earlier every year.
