Shit that annoys you

It annoys me that people actually need to be told this:
"Don't abandon your car in snowy conditions, state patrol says."

I share a driveway with my neighbor. Garage too. It’s kind of a weird setup. It’s a mom and her adult daughter and her kid. Plus another kid and a sometimes boyfriend who lives down south most of the time.

Last winter and for the first couple months of this winter, I kept the whole driveway clear. Both sides. When their car, parked on the street on the other side of the driveway from my house, got buried, I was out there digging them out. You’d think maybe one in 5 or 6 times they’d grab a shovel and help out but they never did. But I figured it was good exercise and neighborly. I didn’t really do it for a thank you.

Thing is. I never really got much of a thank you. One time I got a half assed “hey, seems like you’re always the one doing the shoveling.” That’s it. So I got lazy this year. Too fucking busy with everything else. Got lazy with my own driveway, much less hers, to be honest. Guess what they do? Stop using the driveway. I kind of kept a space for them to park one of their cars in. We just got plowed in again, and tonight I’m out there clearing mine and I’m halfway through hers.... and she comes home while I’m shoveling and.... nothing. Not a nod or a smile or a hello neighbor or anything.

So I stopped. Fuck that.

That annoys me.

Holy shit... you sure held out for awhile. I'd have quit at two times.

I’ve been trying to roll over an old 401k for a month. Not only was there no online form, they made me send in a notarized request that then had to be approved by my old employer and some third party administrator that they appointed. After that was done they made me authorize them to use another third party to access my phone records and credit profile to “verify my identity for quality assurance.” All in order to take my own money. But at least now they will send a check over in five to seven business days. Fuck that shit.

I've rolled over 401K's a few times--both Vanguard and Fidelity--and always had to do it by paper. I don't think I had to have my signature notarized but I had to have my wife's notarized. The verification of identity thing is a pain in the ass too, but it's a pain in the ass that hopefully keeps someone from stealing your money. I changed the ownership on a Vanguard account and they required me to have someone guarantee my identity--if I turn out not to be me that guarantor is on the hook for the funds. Needless to say it's not easy to get someone to do this--I went to a couple branches of my bank and begged and pleaded and they finally agreed.

When peolpe and media blame every negative weather event on climate change. Rained a lot? Climate change. Slow start to winter? Climate change. Cold snap? Climate change.

Not as bad as those that claim it's proof on NO climate change.

I helped upstairs lady to throw away a queen size box spring and I thought I was a good neighbor.
Never mind.
Mustonen is the neighbor of the year.

Our plow guy charges us to bring a loader in to push the snow banks for more room for snow. In the process he:
1. destroys almost every driveway reflector I had lined along the sides
2. buried my propane tank (and the bright orange pole marking it) so I have to shovel it out from beneath a 6 ft. pile of snow.
3. pushes tons of gravel off my driveway that will be all over my lawn this spring. I will have to pick out and rake all this back onto my driveway before I mow.
4. sends me a bill for $100.

Thanks!

Mr Plow's a loser, I think he's a boozer...

that my wife's former employer sent her W2 to a wrong address, even though my wife has only been at our address the entire time she was employed there.

[Ted Striker]

^^^ I've had that exact same thing happen.

Can you download from company website?

Round here the plow guys mostly use blowers for driveways on private streets. Much nicer. Our guy comes multiple times a day during storms even though the contract says once, comes after the end of the contract if we get a big dump in April, does a great job. He's also been known to plow old, poor people for free after big storms.

My younger brother (he’s 25) needs a place to stay tonight. He’s in town for nursing clinicals or whatever.

He’ll get here between 6 and 11. Maybe. If he comes at all. He isn’t sure yet. But can he stay here?

Neighbor had somebody come plow out her half of the driveway. Did not plow mine, but left some nice piles of snow in it. He did a shit job of hers, though, and left a large pile of snow on the corner of hers such that, when my car is parked there on my side, she can’t get in. I watched her try for a few minutes while I was clearing the shit out of my driveway, almost get stuck, and give up. For a mad moment I almost went over and shoveled the pile of snow out of the way. It would take 5 minutes. But I resisted.

You're such an ass. Shame on you.

[MakersTeleMark]

This, from a "professional"? Are you fucking kidding me? Did you tweet this from your oval office?

?I will be working away from the office until Thursday, February 14. I will have limited or no access to emails at times. However, I will be checking emails often.

So I guess you and I are brothers, because you just described my younger brother (except he's 32)
