    The day I retired I set an auto reply that said something like "As of EOB today I will be retired.  If you expect me to reply to an email after 10:00 am today, you will be disappointed."  At the 3:00

every computer case seems like it's only available with a glass side nowadays.  i'm buying all quiet shit so that i don't notice it, that means i don't want to see it, either.  fuck you c-list youtube stars with your tarted up computer sitting conspicuously in the background.

Restaurants that put fries in some auxiliary container whether it be a cup or vase or basket or some shit. Talking about sit down restaurants where I'm obviously not eating in the car. 

Just dump em on my plate. We aren't at Le Bernardin.

The ones that think they are the most important person because of their Harley, pulling up and parking on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant or store. Biker weekend in any place is always great for that, that and the empty Michelob ultras scattered around town.

They tried to pull that shit in Waco, but we got it straightened out.

My CVS receipt this morning.
bf28e33ca1053def4da4f6b2b4cfa9de.jpg

I hate the same bs at office max. The little card scanner asks rewards members if they  want a printed or emailed receipt. I always say e mailed.  Then they still give you a receipt for a 10-20% off coupon if you use it the same day.  WTF, why do you think I want it e mailed ?  I don't want any more pieces of paper to carry out and have to throw away. My life is so firkin surly daily !!!

corollary: the astros no longer use a 32 ounce cup for chili cheese fries.  that was a perfect vessel.  as you pulled fries, chili and cheese perfectly redistributed so that no fry was dry.  now they just use the standard paper boats and it's not near as good.  also, i think you get less.

Calling customer service and being told by a recording for 2 straight minutes how to access basic information by viewing your account online. Bitch, I fucking know this, like everyone else. I spent 5 minutes clicking around to find this hidden phone number because I have a unique issue that requires a human. Customer service is such shit these days.

But that's a ballpark setting - where you want them to be portable and convenient. I'm talking like next to a burger or sandwich on a plate.

i know.  it's a corollary because in most settings the plate is the perfect vessel and you don't need/want a separate fry cup.  i'm also quite surly about the change from the perfect vessel to a shitty boat.

Epson is making a killing on all the ink they are selling for their printers to CVS.

I like CVS but that shit pisses me off.

They probably haven't used ink in 10 years...

Have I gone off on my "CD quality audio" rant lately and how monty @ xiph has somehow miseducated an entire generation of would-be audiophiles by somehow getting all the details right but missing the big picture?

Because that's a thing.

Seriously, for the love of God, just one more byte per sample per channel is all I ask. Please.

Going to a group outing, and there's a shared basket of fries, onion rings, what have you... and some bastard squirts ketchup out directly onto everything in the basket. I'll cut a motherfucker. I don't want anything on my fries but salt and pepper, asshole.

When I'm at the carwash and the truck in front of me just went mudding. Pretty much getting washed with sandpaper.

Usually those things are a single car depth machine, and you sit at the keypad to set up the wash purchase...  different in your neck of the woods ?

When you're in the holy shit or lol thread on tapa and you click on a reddit link. you can't just hit your back button on your phone naturally to get back to tapa because it brings you to reddit search etc. Now I have to slide my thumb all of the way over at hit home and then tapa again to continue surly browsing

Listening to sports talking heads on the radio......"right" is about to overtake "literally" ,  "at the end of the day" and "let's be honest" as required statements.

He is a good QB, right? He wants a big contract, right? He is going to get drafted in the first round, right?.... At first I thought it was just this Alex Marvez character. I still don't know who he is. But it seems to be about every other guest on whatever show I am listening to.

and for the corporate-speak guru's...the word "future" is outdated. It is now "on a go-forward basis".

Can confirm. Also: "He's the bell cow" instead of just calling him the lead running back. 

During interviews, the questions that bug me because they're so stupid are the ones that go, "How big was it when you scored the winning touchdown?" It won the game! It was a big fuckin play!

The sippy cups and twisty straw cups my kids insist upon having.  They dont store in any cupboard well and the gotdamn dishwasher can’t dry them for shit so they douche me with used dishwasher water every time I unload the fucking things.

My wife uses the word "text" as a past tense verb. "I text my sister, she said she was blah blah". Rage.


Your wife is an illegal alien.

They ride great in the floorboard under the passenger side front seat for two weeks... half full of cottage cheese that was once formula.

Either that or it's pruno...

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I’m sitting on a patio enjoying drinks or a meal and some dumbfuck pulls up in their Harley and revs the engine for a minute.  Assholes.  

I don't usually do that but now that I know it triggers you, I just might start.

You will enjoy life a lot more if you give up sports talk radio.

I listened all of the time for about 35 years and just got tired of it. Have not listened in years.

Hosts say the same old shit all of the time and seem to spend a lot of time telling you what is coming up next and the callers are idiots.

Don't miss it at all.

Put on some good music and your day will be much better.

Yeah for a lot of 'em that's true. I enjoy The Dan Patrick show, then I switch over to music the rest of the day.

Just let me check my inbox and start my fucking week. We don't need to go around in a circle pretending like what each person has to say is important.

Most of the meetings I have attended could have been handled individually or via email.
