Shit that annoys you

ONCE AGAIN, SECOND DAY IN A ROW, FEDEX DROVE UP TO MY DRIVEWAY AND PULLED OFF WITHOUT DELIVERING MY CHEWY ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They seem to think there is too much snow on my drive yet I managed to carried 200lbs worth of feed up it yesterday and I'm a 55yo woman! FUCKERS!




Both days I was here and watched them (saw them as they pulled off). They have my home and cell number and can call me to come get the package. I had to go to PetSmart yesterday and pick up everything they were supposed to deliver and guess what? I WAS ABLE TO CARRY IT UP THE DRIVE THROUGH THE SNOW!

You could request Ontrac for future deliveries...

Friend died in the same situation

So sorry. We made the dude sit in his truck until power company could get to the site to make sure the line was dead. None of our guys were allowed near it. He’s ok.

Now I’ve got 4 buildings I needed yesterday without power. We own the lines, so getting contractor that works on primary lines to come fix it doesn’t happen immediately. Luckily I’ve got two large generators our electrician is hooking up in the morning that will get us by until early next week.

Did not feel bad for the guy as he got his butt chewed out yesterday by his boss. It was an easy job, easy money until his driver took out the line and the transformer. Heard him yelling now he is losing money and he’d be lucky if his insurance didn’t drop them. I don’t know why he was driving with the bed all the way up. Just got in a hurry and forgot I guess.

Not a day over 35.

Sucks to be that guy.

Forgetting to turn the light off is annoying. Between a bunch of busted ribs and a broken back post surgery it takes me forever to arrange myself in a semi-comfortable position in bed to try and get a couple hours of sleep--only to turn off my reading light and realize I left the overhead light on. So gingerly log roll out of bed, hobble with my walker (busted hip) over to the light switch, then back and try to get comfortable again.

Rewarding unpreparedness and stupidity with free food for a year at Taco Bell. WTF?!?!?!

Not sure which one is worse, letting unprepared homie die of exposure or eating free Taco Bell for a year.

The Taco Bell thing is *definitely* worse.

I haven't eaten Taco Bell since March 17th, 1996.

clearly, there is a story associated with such a specific date. What the hell were you doing eating Taco Bell on St Patty's day?

On the way back from Tahoe to hang with a mate in Sacramento. Mate wanted Taco Bell. Don't ask me why. He's a fuckstick.

It was also the weekend I met my wife.

...a bunch of busted ribs and a broken back post surgery ...

Jeez, get well soon. Coincidentally I know that annoyance from surgery two months ago.

Wake up and shovel driveway, plow hasn't been by though. Come home from skiing to a wall of heavy wet snow 3 feet tall and 8 feet thick blocking the driveway.

It is a constant battle, one that I kind of enjoy in a masochistic kinda way, because it means powder has fallen.

Taco Bell == Run For the Bathroom

Probably belongs in the 3rd floor bathroom thread.

This is very true. Those people are NOT to be trusted.

and that is why I gave up clearing my drive - one storm after another rolling through. I park my truck down at the barn which is on the valley floor whereas my house is up on the bench so I can still get around.

Propane guy just came by looked at the drive and left. He did that last week too. We got another couple of inches last night but on the bright side we've got sun, 44 degrees and a Chinook rolling through. Oh happy day! Just waiting for the flooding now.

Be careful out there, friend...Taco Bell is a dangerous world!

Have the whole damn library to myself. Getting my study/procrastination on, and a couple comes and sits directly by me while maintaining their conversation.

They had the. entire. library. Wtf. Hate people who herd up. They may be culturally oblivious idk, or maybe being left alone in a public area is expecting too much. I wish it didn't make my blood boil, but it did.

My wife and I went to a matinee 20 years ago; we were the only people in the theater. Just before the movie started, an old woman and her adult daughter came in and sat directly in front of us. I asked, out loud, “What the fuck?” Just as the old lady farted. My wife and I burst out laughing as the daughter shuffled mom to another seat, far from us. Oblivious.

With my shattered pelvis and broken ribs, I could not lay in a flat bed for a couple of months. My whacked head wasn’t thrilled with laying down, too. Still not quite over that.
Slept in a recliner.
