Shit that annoys you

[::: :::]

Yellow jackets. And things just like them but bigger. I’ve spent the last three days with my shop vac vacuuming them out of three places on my house. I’ve got the nozzle on a 15’ adjustable aluminum shaft and I tap it on the siding. It pisses them off and they come out Looking to sting something and get sucked into the water filled shop vac. Hopefully the dust insecticide I ordered gets here soon

Old houses with a thousand points of ingress also annoy me

what's the method for emptying the shop vac?
i'm imagining a kind of pandora's box...

Pandora's box would definitely have yellow jackets in it.

That's what the water is for. Even without water they'll all be dead within a day.

Ha, good one.
Might even make good thread, what’s in your Pandora’s box?

You are lucky when it only splashes your ass or balls. After a shitter pumping, with no paper or turds down there, one can get a splash back which goes right in the hole before it can slam shut. Then you are doomed

You must be new. You gotta build a turd catching life raft out of ass-gaskets. It's the only way to avoid the blue enema

Moving this week and big golf match on Thur...pretty sure I broke my big toe last night blocking a shot at hockey and can barely walk

Fuck

get yourself a post op shoe. The rigid sole takes the pressure off the toe. Very effective. The best ones have a completely rigid wooden sole and lace up canvas top. you might be able to find one at an orthopedic supply place if there is one near you.

hope you can find one--looks like they may be scarce at CVS.

I doubt they make them with golf spikes

We've got a state wide mask mandate here. No big deal, people seem to be okay with it. Except for these fucks who walk around (indoor) public places with the mask drooping down near their chin. I don't get it - you went to the trouble to acquire a mask and you've went to the trouble to put it on your head, just wear the fucking thing as its intended.

Dunno, go ask her, it's her box. I don't have a box.

The other day I almost said to a guy like that: “hey, your dicks hanging out.”

“No, not that one, your face dick. Pull your mask up.”

Kiddo's first day of virtual school. Last night, they sent out a document with all of the meeting links. There is a school program/platform that in theory has the same stuff, but not as user friendly. This morning I checked it first thing, and it had the same link.

This morning, none of the links in the doc they sent work at first. After a long time, the first link starts to work and my daughter joins her first class. Ok. Next class, the link doesn't work. After 20 minutes of trying (because for the first class, it eventually worked), I text the teacher, and she tells me to go to the school program/platform for the link and that link works. Well, they updated that link, not the link in the google doc, and didn't bother sending an email out.

Annoying.

I hope it gets better from here.

I just had lunch with my mom, and she told me she went to the grocery store for the first time since March (my brother and I have been taking turns shopping for and delivering her food). First thing she does is get in a screaming match with some anti-mask kook in the middle of the goddamned store. I had to explain to her that here in Burque, that's a good way to end up dead........Fucking 2020 man.

This relates directly to the dreaded "Well it's your fault for not checking our web site every 30 seconds" syndrome. We think we are competent with the digital world but we in fact are far from it. When small groups and institutions can't take the effort to communicate in the the obviously most direct, quickest and easiest pathway (email/text), and then get all hissy when people justifiably complain .....
Of course the other side of the coin is never updating a web site: tried to order some 2015 Pinot on line, order went through just fine; 48 hours later I'm notified that the site is "slightly" out of date, would I be interested in the 2018 vintage? In their defense, they did email me .....

If I know its newly pumpedI employ that technique. Sometimes I forget to study the contents of the tub though

Srsly. I saw that the other day...

[smartyiak]

Huh?!?!?

It keeps popping up on my Facebook. I get the "gin" but, for the life of me, can't figure out the "alcohol free." Someone really fucked up the algorithm.

Pre-made Condiment mixes bottled and sold on the shelves. The epitome of what is wrong with America; laziness, added sugar and chemicals, senseless capitalism....

I’m talking to you honeyracha, sriracha-ranch, honey-mustard, buffalo-ranch.

If you are a Heinz honeyracha fan; do yourself a favor and mix sriracha and honey, taste it, then slap yourself in the face for being an idiot. Spending 30 seconds mixing the two condiments you already have in the fridge will taste lightyears better than the premixed shit.

Only acceptable pre-mixed condiments are thousand island, teriyaki, and barbecue sauce...

Actually Nick, capitalism will save you from this horror. When everyone feels the same as you do, it won't sell, and then it will cease to exist in sort of a crystal Pepsi way.

It may also be a way for Heinz to reduce waste. Back in the day when I was working in the oil industry there was a problem when you sent premium 91 thru the pipeline, followed it with regular 87, and then wanted to send premium back thru. It's how 89 octane was born.

So, I lost my phone from my deep-ass pocket cycling shorts when I was upside down in some bushes yesterday...I *think* I know where it is. I have to figure out the Android/google setup for the ‘find my phone’ feature...

I started making my own BBQ sauce and other various sauces/condiments. Turns out it tastes way better than the shit from a plastic bottle and the #1 ingredient isn't high fructose corn syrup.

Ask your partner if he saw it.

[rideit]

Well, I would hardly call him my ‘partner’, I just met him at the city park...

Fuck that--when I want a quick snack--some wheat thins with honey dijon or sriracha ranch with fake baby carrots--I don't need to be mixing shit together like some medieval alchemist. OTOH my wife keeps buying all kinds of stuff mixed with hot chiles--jam with chiles, pickles with chiles, baby food with chiles (I made that one up). All of it gets thrown out eventually. I like chiles as much as the next person, I buy them, roast them, cook with them, but I don't want them in everything I eat.
