Im talking old school Buell. Not the newer mid-life crisis guy with too much money assembly line stuff. And ya, a rat rod with the jockey shift would be fucking cool. Which is pretty much an old school Buell.

In the spirit of this latest thread drift, my wife asked me what was the purpose of a loud truck with a large exhaust pipe belching black smoke. She had an encounter on the way home. I said it was to attract females and didn't it make her want to jump him on the spot? She as usual didn't listen to my response. She must have still been thinking of that guy and his truck. I need to get one so I can compete.

My wifes constant talking also drowns it out, but sometimes I wish I could turn up the tinnitus for a little while.

Twice in my life I've had the misfortune to eat at a restaurant near someone describing a surgical case they did. For the whole meal. I'd rather listen to someone describe their round of golf, and I hate listening to that. While we're at it, people who buy something at a crowded cafe and then spend hours with their laptop like it's their private office while other people try to find a place to sit and eat their lunch. I'm particularly thinking about Red Truck at the Truckee airport.
I have covid. That's annoying.
The poopy variant or the coughy one?
Coughy
There's poopy covid?
Depends.

Ironic that this route through South Pass was once the loudest, most lively zone within hundreds of miles in any direction. Still very quiet but some truck traffic from Energy fields.Quote:

502 Bad Gateway annoys me
People who anthropomorphize their pets. Washington state ferries are now allowing dogs to ride on the passenger deck, and all the Fur-Parents are coming out of the woodwork denigrating toddlers and children while saying their precious fue-baby is far better behaved and deserves equal, if not greater, rights than those children.
My parents to this to their dog too, and have on numerous occasions prioritized the comfort of their dog over spending time with their grandchildren (E.g. bringing the dog on family vacations and then not attending outings with their young grandchildren (who they do not see often) because they cannot leave the dog home alone (they can, its old and just sleeps all day and would have no idea they left for a couple hours). It would be one thing if everyone loved the dog, but this dog has no personality, is slothlike, and the only people in the family who are warmer than nuetral on it are my parents.
I am not articulate enough to put the reason into words well, but when people denigrate children and act as though children are a huge, unneccessary burden on others in a public space it really annoys me. ESPECIALLY when they follow it up with a comparison to their angelic fur-baby.
All kids annoy me. Fur bearing or otherwise.
Django, I should have said Rawlins to Lander. But I have ridden through South Pass. The first time on horseback although as a baby so I don't remember much. The second time in a car, and it is a very bad place for your Olds Cutlass to decide it won't go above second gear (auto). After dealing with what passed for a car repair garage in Farson we decided to drive back to Detroit in second.
Kids don’t annoy me at all. I have the ability to tune shit out (annoys my wife)
Heh, I laffed... and thats a whole different path for sure. Damn, that stretch is still the boondocks in 2025.Quote:

and why dont the apostrophes and photos work for me now that they do for some others? Fucking junkshow annoys me.
I will say that over my entire life I have been annoyed by kids much more often than I've been annoyed by someone's pet.
Ah, but did you DENIGRATE THEM!?!?!?
Update: covid still sucks, do not recommendQuote:

No one will be able to get it when little Bobby is done. Stock up on bleach.

Wilderness lake where dogs are only allowed on leash. But dog is splashing around. Dog owner with out dog on leash says to only guy more annoyed than me with his dog on leash where off leash dog comes running to shake water all over him “yeah he doesn’t have good recall and always does that to someone when he’s wet!”
Cause he’s off leash?
People doing work calls at the coffee shop. I don’t want to fucking hear about your Salesforce implementation. Wild how a normal conversation is just background noise, but people talking on the phone and especially work calls in public settings is rage inducing. Annoying!
Granny is visiting the backyard neighbors, who are not well loved chez PDX because of constant fighting and borderline abusive parenting. I'm trying to write TPS reports with the windows open because it's actually nice, and she's out there cooing at their toddler at church pastor volume levels. I gave them about 15 minutes and then busted out the leaf blower, they got the message pretty quickly.
Work-from-homers who bitch about perfectly normal, daily neighborhood noise while pounding away at their keyboards from the comfort of their own home rather than heading into the office that is designed especially for them in the city or just simply putting on some noise canceling headphones and going about their business like adults. ;).
Ha! Fair, and you left out "using their remote tech bro salary to screw up local real estate markets."Quote:

But now that she moved in, and works from home, she expects this to all change to suit her WFH office feng shui.
