Shit that annoys you

Move your car to the other side, and give him 6” of clearance.

80yo men fucking up traffic... and, you guessed it, he was fucking with a phone.



GO PARK SOMEWHERE, OLD MAN, TO FUCK WITH YOUR PHONE!

In and around our college campus people just walk into traffic with the understanding that vehicles will then stop for them.

Understanding, and of course supporting, the pedestrian right-of-way....I'm seeing dangerous and foolish behaviors encouraged here. It's now getting to the point where college kids are just walking straight out into the street, head down, no look style.

There's all this thought around town that we have to be extra careful with the roads near campus because of course these young adults will just wander into the roads like deer.

WTF! Most of these college students have had a fucking drivers license for at least 2 years, if not 5 or 6. or more! They're legal adults. Probably creating a special area where they're encouraged to roam through traffic like zombies with no situational awareness whatsoever is not assisting in their development as human beings.

jesus fucking christ.

Ha!! Reminds me of a girl crossing a street in Boulder a couple years ago, head in her phone. Obvious CU Boulder type. In the crosswalk during the no walk light. I hit the horn...she almost dropped her phone. Priceless. Unless we remind them, how will they ever learn and change their behavior?

[goldengatestinx]

Got pelted with huge juicy bugs on the highway today and none of the gas stations had squeegees to wash windshields. WTF?



When I lived in Vancouver and worked downtown the pedestrians were out of control. It wasn't one guy walking in front of oncoming traffic it would be dozens of them. They would ignore the don't walk light making it impossible to turn right or left. Once one person walked out and a car held up to not hit them everyone would walk out. The only way to get through was to slowly inch the car out around the corner. You'd have people walking around until front and behind you. Harder to do turning left across oncoming traffic. Finally gave up and would do 3 right turns to make a left. Never seen anything like it anywhere else. New York drivers wouldnt put up with that.

Like a fucking Walking Dead episode of a zombie herd. Drive straight through...but not fast enough to damage your vehicle. Make sure to take the brain if you can...small as it might be.

Which is why it ended up being written about in the "Shit That Annoys You" thread, instead of actually happening.

Exactly. But apparently there are some people who don't understand that threats of beatings, vandalism, dog shit under door handles (think about doing that for a minute--you'll likely wind up with more shit on you than the person you're mad at, if you can even find dog shit) are internet venting not to be taken seriously. Actually, nothing on the internet--political opinions, health advice, etc etc--should be taken seriously. This is worth repeating: NOTHING ON THE INTERNET SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

I haven't seen a "normal" flow toilet in years but ~6 gpf? Fuck that. I'm on a well and don't like to waste water but if I was on city water I sure wouldn't want to pay for that.

The water isn't wasted. Just takes a trip from the well to the toilet to the septic leach field...then down it goes back to the well. Well pump wear and a little power usage is the real issue.

Depends on what time zone though.

good point. but I don't think putting a plastic bag full of dog shit under a door handle will accomplish much. As for getting the dog shit out of the plastic bags--have fun doing that.
On the subject of dog shit--dog sitting my son's Bernese. The thing takes enormous shits that are too big to be picked up with the plastic bag method. I need to get my son to put the thing on a low fiber diet;.

Produce bags. I’m sure you buy lots of veggies. (Great Dane method)

As a pooper scooper that often manages to use just one bag for 5 dogs (I seek out the largest bag available) it is entirely possible to evert a full bag and tactically apply said poop over a wide range of (semi) legally determined targets. Certainly, it's a skill requiring dexterity, practice and artistic talent, but readily achievable.

[old goat]

The issue is not the size of the bag, it's the size of my hand--I can pick up a week's worth of dog shit from a normal dog in one bag, one turd at a time, choking up on the bag as necessary. But the single mass of turd left by a Bernese exceeds the capacity of the human hand, even the hand of an NBA center. The dog leaves turds much larger than other dogs of the same weight. It appears to produce more shit than the amount of food it eats. It's not surprising that it doesn't process food efficiently since it doesn't do anything all day, just lies around and sheds. It's not even a good watchdog. The first time I met it was to pick it up and my son's house while he was gone and the dog just went upstairs and hid behind the bed. Didn't even bark. I'm not sure it knows how.

On the subject of dog shit--verification that requires you to remember stuff on your credit report that's 30 years old is annoying--stuff like an address you worked at briefly. Even the SSA (that's Social Security Administration for you young folks but you don't have to remember that because it will be gone by the time you hit 65) uses old credit reports for verification--and if your reports are locked you have to unlock them or go to the SSA with secure ID and get an access code. And remember we're talking about people who can't find their keys, let alone remember an old old address.

If the Dane pile is not firm logs, it is a two handed pickup. Hence the big bags.

[PB]

Wow - canine cold fusion!! More output than input!

Definitely sympathize with the two-handed size dump when you've only got one hand to work with. I typically have multiple dogs on leash and walk on busy bike paths, so not only is it one hand but just one eyeball available for poop extraction.

No, it's definitely not cold.

Touche!
It's actually quite sensual and relaxing, so not so annoying; a large pile o' poop warming the palm of your hand through the plastic.
Rear view?!?!?!?! Hahahahahahahahaha
