Shit that annoys you

Give a man a seed and he'll feed the world. Or in this instance stone the world.

Recreation.gov. They recently transitioned to a new website. A number of campsites have basically disappeared. When I tell them that, they say "oh, that government shutdown fucked everything all up, including our attitudes. We’re worried and pissed off and couldn’t really give a shit about your summer camp out plans.”

Changed to what they were thinking.

[Danno]

Changed to what they were thinking.

heh, probably. But FFS, what else should recreation.gov be interested in? My summer camp out plans (generally speaking) is their entire reason for existing!

[glademaster]

Freudian Slip, when you say one thing and mean a mother...

Hahaha.

[babybear]

damn -you've come close to HITTING your mom
I once told my mom to shut up and almost went to hell

Well, the entire system was down and unmaintained for over a month, but, besides concerns over getting a paycheck and buying food and paying bills and being hosed for political points, I suppose summer plans should take precedence.

I retain immense sympathy for those poor fuckers.

Our relationship has been tempestuous over the years. They're still in New Jersey, and whenever I end up east of the Rockies, I feel a bit too close to home, haha.

Recreation.gov. They recently transitioned to a new website. A number of campsites have basically disappeared. When I tell them that, they say "oh, those sites must be reserved for walk-ups" even though walk-up sites still show on their system. Or they say "oh, the agency must have decommissioned those sites or have them down for maintenance", even though I went to these campground in late summer and know that isn't the case. When I tell them that they need to have a system to log tickets re errors and contact the agency to investigate errors, I get told "we just put in our system what the agency tells us, you need to contact the agency". So basically, data entry errors are the consumer's problem.

It annoys me they ever made that site. I loved walking in to the office on Friday and grabbing a cabin instead of having them all booked 6months out...



Also fucksticks who apparently think it's fine to drive in whiteout/blizzard conditions with no lights!

ok this annoys me too and when my husband drives my car he always turns my lights off when he parks (probably bc he has a stoopid american vehicle vs my fine swedish macheen)
anyway you don't have to turn off the lights in my car. So then I head out later like alls normal and realize 10 minutes into my drive that my lights are off during the daylight blizzard?!
I actually just used the label maker at my office to make a mini sign that says "Andrew do not touch the lights"
They only need to be turned off when we are animal binocular hunting. otherwise never

People who get to the pre-check X-ray and decide now is a good time to organize and combine all their shit. You just stood in line to get your ID checked. Everything but your ID and ticket should now be in your bags. I’ve taken to just walking past them and tossing my bag on the belt in front of them. You are in precheck, that means you’ve done this before. Try acting like it isn’t your first airplane ride.

Actually pretty much everyone who needlessly delays me while traveling annoys me now. I need to quit flying so much.

[2FUNKY]

I don’t fly very often and that shit annoys me as well.

Total first world problems. And all federal workers have my sympathy, for the shutdown and just for having Trump as their boss.

But still. This is the system for taking reservations. And it's not doing it correctly. It's sucking at its core function, and that's annoying. Shutdown or not.

Heh. I called my mom a "fucking meanie" once and my dad had my pants pulled down and was smacking my ass so fast it made my head swim. Never made that mistake again.

Ditto on gapers driving in snowstorms with lights off. Or at dusk for that matter. I swear some people take pride in using their headlights as little as possible, I guess to extend the life? Stupid.

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, the no headlights thing has reached epidemic proportions. I don't think it's intentional, I think it's idiocracy.

[Buster Highmen]

Yeah, do they think they're saving energy or something? Pandemic across the West for sure.

[Ted Striker]

I don't think they think.

[MakersTeleMark]

You just described government in the U.S.

You mean daytime running lights aren't headlights!?!

[Meadow Skipper]

Yeah, that would be annoying.

State law in Maine to have headlights on if your windshield wipers are on. They are right.

[DoWork]

You mean you didnt repurpose your wiper fluid reservoir into a whisky bucket and reroute the hose into your glove box? Rookie mistake.

In my youth I filled mine with bleach and ran the line to the front wheel wells.

Definitely the best use of that system, lemme tell ya.

[DoWork]

That's been going on for at least 25 years. I asked a girl to prom in person, and she made it very clear that I still had to do something public to "ask" her. That was 17 years ago now.

We can blame the Gen Xers for this one.

The blame only need be perpetuated if you actually did some dumb public showy shit.

Did you?

[DoWork]

Speaking of 15 going on 37, I feel your pain. My 14 yr old is starting to think he knows everything about driving a car: like what lane I should be in, how fast I should be going and what cars to pass. I reached my limit last weekend, pulled the car over and got out, walked over to the passenger door, opened it and handed him the keys. I told him to get out and drive. He turned white as a sheet and wouldn't get out. We stayed like that for 5 minutes. The rest of the ride was in complete silence.

Boy, you sure showed that snot nosed little shit, huh? How dare he obsess about driving like every other 14yo ever! Definitely best to put that little fucker deep in fear, otherwise you’re going to get stuck having conversations with him later in life, that’s for sure!


I wonder if at any point during those 5 minutes of staring at your terrified kid in rage-induced silence on the side of a fucking highway it occurred to you that you were acting like a passive aggressive piece of shit. #inquiringminds

Did you hit your head on a snowgun?

P.S.- Why so angry all the time bro?

I once told my mom "none of your business" when she asked who I was on the phone with. She hit me across my head with a broom.
