    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

It's 2019 and car rental.companies can't implement an inventory tracking system, so when you book a car, it's "VW Golf or similar", and 90% of the time, it's not a golf, and 70% of the time, it ain't even similar.

Two times I've been in wrecks (neither were my fault) and needed a rental car. I've explained several times that I have to have am SUV for work. Neither time have I actually gotten an SUV....

Who rents a VW Golf?

People who sit in their running cars in busy parking areas. I'm holding up traffic waiting for you to back up and leave because that's clearly what's going on and you're just fucking sitting there for more than a fucking minute. Not only have I held up traffic but now I've missed out on your spot. Fuck you. What the fuck are you doing anyway?

CSB once in Manchester NH, the rental car guy says "hey you want a free upgrade to a 4wd?"  Of course I'm thinking SUV like Explorer, Tahoe, even 4Runner, etc, certainly more enjoyable than generic mid size sedan.  I say "sure" he gives me the keys, tells me the space, I walk out and it's a...Subaru.  Whatever the little Subaru wagon is.  Bastid.

I got the last laugh though, the first snow of the winter happened that night and I had to drive down to Boston, which is normally a straight shot down I93 less than an hour.  Subaru behaved like a champ, bypassing folks pulled over under bridges, packed up at exits, etc.

People who sit in parking spaces with their cars in reverse but aren't actually backing up or even intending to back up any time soon.  Hey dumbass, you know those white lights on the back of your car that come on when your car is in reverse?  You're telling people you're about to back up.

Fortnite updates every 3 days. I suck, and my 1.5 year old son knows it. Usually it's routine that I'll play a round to conk him out while i hold him. Well, every other day it seems i have to go through the 30 min process to download, copy, install the update just so im able to play the stupid game. THEN he can sleep by watching my terrible play

People in sales who take forever to get to the price of their product. The line that if you give them the price they're just going to take it and go down the street is bullshit. If I don't get your price, I'm going down the street.

I've always been told that how you like your coffee is where you are in life. When you're young you like it with milk and sugar, then you like it with milk only, then you like it black, then decaf, then you die. I'm at milk only.

Real mean DGAF what another man puts in their coffee...unless it's Irish whisky.  If so, then pass the fucking bottle.

 

FTR, I like my coffee black, no sugar...and occasionally, with whisky.

When you turn 21 you should try it with a shot of Bailey's.

That's kind of like the "add to your cart to see the price" bullshit.  They're just being jerk offs making me add them remove.

NFL news emanating from Adam Shefter, such as yesterday's suspension announcements for the players involved in Thursday night's helmet incident.  It's as if they credit him for digging for the story and getting the beat on the competition.

The news was coming regardless.  IDGAF that they called him first to put it on ESPN.

Stop insulting the viewer with this bullshit.  IT's trivial as fuck, because to whom the story is credited is virtually meaningless in these cases.  Now if ole Shefty comes out today and reports that it was premeditated and there's a league-wide movement of defensive players hitting QBs to protest the overprotective nature of the rules; now THAT would be a scoop that he fucking worked for.

You are way more of a problem than they are. People who hold up parking lots because they want a front spot are the worst. Trust me, there are spots 20 feet away and the walk is good for you. This is why I never park in the front of lots. Too much traffic. I park in the back. Easy exit.

I like my coffee like I like my women: cold, pretentious, and in glasses.

 

 

Not really, though. I actually take it with no additives whatsoever, scalding hot, strong enough to wake the dead, and in a short, squat mug. Makes for a much less flattering analogy.

It wasn’t Walmart it was on street parking in a busy urban restaurant district where parking is hard to find. I agree with what you’re saying in big box suburban parking lots but this was a different context and drives me crazy because everyone knows spots are in short supply. I was late meeting my party too otherwise I would have walked from my house since it’s close enough.

Citi- stop asking me to open up some worthless account that earns me 2.05% every time I log on to pay off my CC.  When I've declined it 28 other times should give you some sort of clue.

hctra seems to be the only place on the planet not capable of either a) charging my credit card again even though it must have expired years ago; b) sending an email or a telegram or a smoke signal that 'hey your balance is below $10 and we can't charge your card please update your account'; c) after the account went negative sending an email saying 'hey your account is negative please make payment.'

no, it skipped all those steps, no notice until a couple months later when i went through another two toll plazas, which now garner 'violations' on top of the tolls, and an 'admin fee' because reasons.  they'll automatically waive the 'violations' but not the $5 'admin fee' if i refill the account.  probably not worth my time to call and complain about the lack of communication.

i have lots of people who coopt my email address, intentional (unlikely) or not.  tell-tale sign is they use my gmail alias without separating periods -- which gmail funnels all into the same inbox (mine). 

 

and its not random spam.  its real emails from real persons and groups and businesses, with invoices, dialogues, accounts and etc.  often belonging to people whose actual name do not match mine/the alias.  which is totally confusing, but whatever.

 

anyway, i get a little retributive enjoyment by hijacking the emails.  if the email relates to an account, i go to that website, use the lost-password function to takeover the account, then kill it or just obscuring it. 

 

what sucks now is that all these websites use some sort of secondary authentication where the Lost-Password retrieval requires a confirmation via Call / SMS, so now its handicapped my inbox again.
