Shit that annoys you

[Benny Profane]

Been a while, but we had fun going to local games. Cheap beer (and bats), and there was a guy that was at every game that was a world class heckler. Guy was hilarious and basically talked uninterrupted shit for the full 9 innings.

Wow, that's a lost art. Haven't heard a good baseball heckler in years.

Apparently in certain areas of San Francisco they can't keep up with the human poop that keeps showing up on the sidewalk. Does the SF Tourist Board/Chamber of Commerce know about this?!?!?

They approved that. It's now racist to prohibit shitting on the sidewalk in SF.

How so many dealers on Autotrader/CL/etc. list cars with automatic transmissions as manuals. Doing a quick search for a friend who's looking for an old Lexus IS300 for a toy and like 9 out of 10 of the results (when I had "manual transmission only" specifically selected were freaking automatics. Not 3 pedals? Not a manual, douche bags. This phenomenon always bugs me so bad when car hunting. Can we report them for blatantly inaccurate listings?

They read the manual and learned it has that slide the shift lever to the left and it's 'manual'. Fucking joke. Limiters don't let you do anything fun.

people that work no where near me doing the pop-in because they want something instead of using email like nearly everyone uses exclusively with a face to face being last resort. those people go to the end of the task line immediately.

if I were 18, I get a group of friends to live together to share housing expenses and got on the poop patrol for 5 years; apparently you can stash over 6 figures in benefits every year in addition to salary.

Annoying and rather humorous also. My neighbor 2 doors down bought 3 yards of mulch and they dumped it in the middle of my driveway blocking my garage. Our house numbers are displayed right on the front doors. Wtf.

Neighbors who borrow your power tools and keep them for months who then ignore text messages when you ask them if they are finished with it because you need it back for a project. Only when you actually go to their house and do a face to face on the same day the text about said tool was ignored do they ask you "hey, do you need your saw back?" before even saying hello.

Rookie mistake; don’t EVER loan anyone your tools, not even your spouse.

Jackstraw's mulch story reminded me of years ago when we rented a place for the summer. Because we had dogs we had to pay up front for a carpet cleaning after the rental ended. One day I came home and there are guys cleaning the carpets. They were basically done when I got there. I asked them how they got in and the one guy said he climbed in a window because the door was locked.

I thought it was weird that they were cleaning the carpets while the rental was still going on, so I started talking to the guys about it. Turned out they were in the wrong house. They broke in to clean the carpets in the wrong house. Then they tried to get me to pay for it. But I had already paid the landlord, so nfw on that. Sorry fellas. But thanks, I guess.

Local news reports that a woman who was killed over the weekend will be honored with a balloon release.

For the record, if I die I don't want anyone littering in my honor.

I've always told my wife that I want my ashes shot out of a cannon. It is even in my will. I think that's pretty earth friendly though.

Hah. A few years ago AC came home to find a guy finishing up aerating our lawn:

"Uh, WTF are you doing?"

"I'm with XYZ landscaping, you called us to do this."

"No we didn't"

"Is this 123 Wrong Street"

"No, can you read the numbers on the house and on the mailbox?"


Asshole broke off three of my sprinkler heads, too.

Especially your spouse. Not that she bothers to ask. Stuff is always missing. The one guy I would loan tools to is an architect and an artist with wood who's been working on his house for years. He had a great shop in his dad's barn but after his dad passed away no more shop. The guy does me all kinds of favors and absolutely refuses to use my shop or tools despite multiple offers. Finally he asked to use my thickness planer. I was beside myself with happiness.

Next door neighbor refused to get a bear box despite having bears in his renters' garbage 10 times one summer. I congratulated him when he finally got one. Turns out the company installed one the neighbor across the street ordered on my next door neighbor's property. Set in concrete too and he refused to pay for it.

Note to self, this sounds like a top notch practical joke.

It's been thought of and done, many times. One of the snowplow operators around here has been known to dump large piles of snow on the driveway of someone he's pissed at, although not as a joke.

I have a friend who had a load of firewood dropped in somebody’s driveway as a practical joke.

Don’t loan anyone my tools or my spouse. Got it. Thanks for the pro tip.

Why not? It’s not like I was going to break her or forget to return her.
