Shit that annoys you

[Danno]

95% sure that costco jeans are illegal in Boulder.

I live life on the edge.

I’m sitting in the airport in Las Vegas, reading this thread, and when I looked up a woman was walking by in purposely torn/shredded yoga pants. I mention this so that you all can get in on the next (apparent) fashion trend.

Hardly unless being a mom means doing a man's job bucking hay, mending fences, driving a tractor, riding horses, clearing fields.....

Sounds like mom-jobs to me.

[The AD]

Sounds like there is more to that story.

I wish there was, but nope, they just tore from the bottom of the zipper down the leg a few inches.

back in my grandmother's day, when she homesteaded the hi-line in Montana at the turn of the 20th century, she did all that and more in a dress!

[reckless toboggan]

Here in Bellingham you have your everyday Carhartts (filthy), and your Sunday Carhartts.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I also have accompanying hoodies that fall along those lines.

Yup.

Meanwhile, the men:

x1000 on the jeans. Problem is, even when I find a pair that fits, every pair of that exact jean seems to fit differently. I try on the exact same pair of jeans in the same size when at the store and each pair fits a little differently. Why is it so hard to make a pair of jeans the same every time? My routine is to go to Macy's. Grab about 15 pairs of jeans and go into the dressing room. Sometimes I find a pair, sometimes I leave empty handed.

It's not just the fit that varies--color and thread color vary too. Levis and I assume other brands are sourced from contractors in various countries. The fit and colors vary by country of origin. What makes it harder for me is I like shrink to fit 501s, so even trying them on in the store you don't know what you'll wind up with.

Shit that annoys me: asshat in BMW SUV, swerving back and forth behind us this morning, attempting to pass -- on a two-lane mountain highway, striped double yellow almost the entire way, in snow/slush/ice. We weren't going slow.

Do asshats select BMWs to drive because that's what asshats drive? Or do normal people buy BMWs and then turn into asshats? Kind of a chicken-and-egg thing.

They are the ones that failed the dickbag escalade driver test

I also have accompanying hoodies that fall along those lines.

The oldest brewery in this town had a hoody that was ubiquitous for years. Like you'd be out somewhere - anywhere - and at least three people had one on. That and carhartts was the Bellingham uniform. Even for women.

Similarly, I have a grubby one for swinging a hammer or fixing a car, a better one for walking dogs, riding my bike to another of the dozen breweries in town, eating tacos from a truck, and a nice one for wearing to my parent's house for dinner.

Motorists in blizzards with lights off.
Bonus points for:
a)twilight
b)white, silver, grey vehicles.
c)weaving through traffic passing on straight, but slowing up the roll on curves

Yes. Yes. Thursday. One of the very underrated things about our house is that the garbage cans are in a back alley. No remembering to take the cans in and out.

Twice a week here and the garbage man goes to the side yard-no putting out cans at the curb.

You would not believe how far some of my neighbors have to go to get their can to the road. Most have to put it in a truck and drive it. I just hold the handle with one hand and steer my side-by-side with the other.

[JongDoe]

And Carhartt thinks everyone wants to wear low rise jeans. Maybe that's okay for wearing around town but when I bend over to buck hay I don't want my low back exposed and hay going down it.

LOL, your posts of farm life always crack me up. Not making fun, it's just so foreign to me. So you don't favor the plumbers crack style of jeans? Always amazed how dudes don't feel that breeze, If my shirt goes up an inch it bothers me, never mind a draft on my ass.

Hate the breeze too which is why I wear Duluth Trading long tail shirts. Awesomeness.

I had an equine dentist out (female) who wore extreme low rise jeans. Her crack was majorly exposed as was her muffin-top. It was hideous. I was gobsmacked at how she could possibly be comfortable in those instruments of torture.

this is what i don't get. i mean, i look like shit a lot but at least i'm comfortable.

A blindfolded teenage driver in Utah crashed into another car for obvious reasons on Monday, according to the Layton Police Department.

“Bird Box Challenge while driving...predictable result,” the police tweeted on Friday, along with a photo of two mangled cars on Layton Parkway surrounded by snow-covered sidewalks.

I have no words for this stupidity. Unfortunately the driver didn’t die.

Working outside all day with my shirt off. When I came in to shower I was appalled at where the tan line was.

What's the deal with these more than once a week garbage pickups in Jersey? You people must generate an inordinate amount of garbage or something.

Overpriced resort food...

Carhartt s annoy me. Always bind at the knee for me.

overpriced airport food is even worse.

Oh I bet she did.

She was a maverick! She and her sister played on their HS basketball team and used to sneak out at night and go dancing, something her mother forbade as she considered public dancing indecent.

She also went to college and married a younger divorced man at the ripe old age of 27. Unheard of in the 1920s. She lived to be 103, rest her tarheel soul.
