Shit that annoys you

[Gripen]

To go along with the out of province inspection annoyance. Changing bulbs like license plate bulbs and side marker lights. I know my way around a car well and those are a bitch!

Replace them with LEDs. They're affordable finally and last nearly forever.

Flat tires after work are annoying. People who change them for beer super fast are less annoying.

[systemoverblow'd]

People that can't do the most basic maintenance on their bike, car, etc, like changing a flat tire.

But.... I'm a gurl.

No, but you sure act like a cunt sometimes.

This coming from someone who has clearly never, ever taken the easy way out of anything.

weak wi-fi and cell service in the crapper here.

[Supermoon]

Weak wifi in hotels and airports. It's fucking 2014. If I can watch YouTube videos on the airplane at 35,000 feet, why isn't the wifi in the airport fast enough to do the same?

Most of us here are dudes. We don't get that option.

some good zingers here today.


So, I don't read the TGR newsletter; Is it "get Advres to meltdown and change his name, again" day?

Plenty of times I havent had that option, either.

I dont think it took him 10 minutes and he is one of those useful hicks that get off on helping gurls with cars. I bought him a six pack, not sure why that bothers you..?

I am perfectly capable of changing a tire on a car, btw

[systemoverblow'd]

It doesn't bother me, it was a joke. And it was funny you mentioned it when everyone was jerking each other off about how we should treat Tuckermans daughter like just one of the guys. I thought you had thicker skin, but I guess I was wrong.

[mtngirl79]

Im not bothered.. its funny to me, too. I drive trucks, I do lots of "man" things, but it is sure nice to be treated like a "gurl" sometimes.

In this context sometimes>never.

it takes time to cry about your lot in life and find enough people to be pissed at. more people keep coming.

you can still drop your pants and bend over the trunk. truckers are always willing to lend a hand.

[east or bust]

People who think they are badasses cause they go to all the 'tough mudder' events.

[systemoverblow'd]

Last minute mandatory staff meetings. We get it, you're laying people off and we have all seen them clean out their desks today. Lets figure out how to make it more awkward for everyone in the building.

[Hugh Conway]

the bullshit spew at the last minute mandatory staff meetings. Especially when they promise no more layoffs for XXX period... and then lay people off within the XXX period.

It's still better than the "sniper theory of layoffs" which held (to the dumbshit executives) it'd be less stressful on everyone if they only laid off one or two people a week for most of a quarter.

haaaaahaha ….yup. I worked one recently. Most had great fun. Some dudes kept head bands on and shirts off for the next 24 hours and wanted to fight anybody.

Relatively young (expensive) refrigerator ready for the landfill. Repair man says by the time he finds and fixes the mystery leak may as well buy a new one.

How to pass your out of province inspection:

Step 1. Go buy a case of beer.
Step 2. Take car to a little backwoods shop owned by some guy.
Step 3. Explain the relationship between passing the out of province inspection and said beer.
Step 4. Get on with your life.

Just picked up the cat from an independent shop. Three lights bulbs, one sensor rewire and $400 later it passed just fine. Fuck Canadian tire. They estimated $2300 to get it to pass.

Plus the mechanic noted that when Canadian Tire took out the brake pads they bent the squeal tabs to hell and that was the slight squeal. 5sec fix.

What a joke.
