Shit that annoys you

[Name Redacted]

Overly effective coffee mugs that never let your coffee cool down below the mouth scalding temperature of magma. Three hours into a road trip and still burning hot.

[plugboots]

Burned my lip the other day with a mug like that, (actually left a mark). I usually leave the lid off to start, but forgot.

utah drivers, in the snow, after dark, with their lights off. the four horsemen of pissing me off.

I feel like I'm the only one in the state who flashes their brights at these morons.

Yeah, it's like an arms race. "Our insulated cups will keep liquids hot for 4 hours!" "Well, ours will keep liquids hot for a week!"

Hey goldilocks, you posted in the wrong thread, this belongs in the "shit that annoys you, but shouldn't" thread.

Haha. True. Those mugs freaking impressed me when I was working outdoors in North Dakota arctic temps. I'd fill up on coffee at the gas station at like 3 AM and that stuff could STILL be warm in the evening, despite it being -50 and howling winds. I always found that damned impressive. Especially for it being a cheap Coleman I picked up at Wal-Mart. So yeah, just leave the lid off for a bit to let it go from magma to drinkable temps, then cap it. It's not rocket science.

By the time my coffee is drinkable, it is time to start drinking beer. I live in the now.

Buy the cheap Contigo mugs from Costco, they are insulated but not uber-so, and your coffee will cool in a reasonable amount of time. When I head up to the hill, I take one of those and also my zojirushi mug. I drink the contigo one on the way to the hill, and the zojirushi at lunch. Still hot coffee for the win!

Yeah, I have like 10-15 of those contigo mugs. This was a Yeti borrowed from the wife.

Pour a little beer in your coffee. It will cool it down. Stout or Porter is recommended.

+1. I've ridden for a couple miles behind some of these stealth assholes flashing my lights constantly and they NEVER get it. Why else would someone be following you flashing their lights repeatedly?

[plugboots]

I got a rental car in Billings and it’s super bright by the airport and industrial area to get on the interstate, and a guy was following me flashing his lights and it took me just a bit to figure it out. Of course this wasn’t in the snow, not my car, (I have automatic headlights), I figured it out quickly.

Again, the general public is just inept.
My neighbor with some all wheel drive SUV Kia thing, has not left her house and actually talked to me yesterday about how she’s scared to drive, (on slush), to go to the gym, a mile or two away.

nobody here beeps or flashes their lights ever, I assume they find it "rude"

flashing your lights is one of the only ways you have to communicate with another car and contextually can mean all sorts of things: "we got to this stop sign around the same time; you go first", or "there's a cop with a speed trap / animal in the road / etc a little bit behind me", or "you are driving slowly in the left lane, move over so I can legally pass you", or "hey dumbfuck turn your fucking lights on" but leave it to utards to choose not to convey any of those things

I am a liberal user of all means of car-to-car communication: signals, light flashing, horn...

You've listed every possible thing drivers have to exchange while on the road and it boils down to two categories: you're being an asshole and you get the horn OR I'm warning you about something and you get the lights. The fact that this puzzles 95% of people on the road in UT is terrifying...
OTOH there's definitely a business there where you sell scrolling displays mounted on car bumpers. Everyone's already on their phone while driving, typing a nice fuck you message to the driver riding your ass shouldn't be any more dangerous than texting. Voice recognition would help but really who uses that shit?

People with that pack a day voice make my skin crawl.

How the fuck can people still smoke cigs these days?...it's unbelievable and so fucking gross

There's a group of people sitting next to me that all sound like they go thru a carton a day and I'm ready to jump out the window

I'm a purist man. Black coffee, and reinheitsgebot man. I also love whiskey but don't like it in my coffee. Now a coffee stout, I would drink. It gets confusing.

Maybe they are sick?

There is this girl/woman the rides the bus that always has really bad laryngitis voice. She doesnt smell like cigs and is fairly young so I assume she has some kind of condition.

She NEVER shuts up and it's like fingernails on chalkboard..

On the other hand if I sounded like that I'd prolly never talk at all so good on her for being confident, I guess.

And. Once it reaches the right temp and you re-cap it, it will stay at the perfect temp for a nice long while. I hate burning my tongue on the first pull and drinking cold backwash on the last pull. Of course I drink tea, but same same.

[Rideski]

I have a contigo snap lock mug that I thought I paid like $20 for, and every time I open it, it sprays a mist of coffee everywhere. Wouldn't mind so much if it was tea which I enjoy in afternoons, but since it's coffee that annoys the fuck out of me. Bad enough to just leave it partly open, and then coffee is cold by the time to the hill.
Have actually considered switching to morning tea because of it but a pot of hot coffee on auto start is too comforting.

[old goat]

Ontrac continues to drive around Reno with my packages and fail to deliver, claiming weather issues, for the sixth consecutive day.

Fuckers.

I hate to make you feel bad (not really) but my Ontrac package showed up exactly on time. The guy handed it to me as I was dealing with a fresh berm--a day and a half since it stopped snowing. Now that annoys me.

My neighbor with some all wheel drive SUV Kia thing, has not left her house and actually talked to me yesterday about how she’s scared to drive, (on slush), to go to the gym, a mile or two away.

I would think you'd be grateful she's not on the road.

I find the title of this Magic Mountain thread very annoying. The use of the double negative contraction aren’t just bugs me.
