    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

    I hate the people that ignore it when they have the right of way and try to wave me through first, it just fucks up the system and delays everyone

Yeah fuck these mother fuckers. 90% of them cannot park or drive.

A lot of places have parking spaces for compacts so I suggest they create parking spaces for "oversized" vehicles and make them as far from the front door as possible.

OK.  Not afraid to walk.

My aunt would painfully walk through parking lots while her feet were covered in burns from the radiation treatment for the cancer that eventually killed her because people were mean to her when she parked in a handicapped spot and got out of the car with no visible disabilities.  If they have a placard, shut the fuck up.

This.

RA or other debilitating diseases/ conditions are not always evident.  I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

Some of the HEBs have spots that are not exactly at the front door, but at the next nearest row for veterans.  It is almost always empty, and I’m cool with that.  

 

Personally, I walk a shit-ton, so I generally park very far out any way.  Leave the better spots for thise who need them.

 

I do think some of the fatties need to park out there and not in the handicap spots, but screw that because they have to swing those doors open extra wide...

speaking of grocery stores.

 

i guess everyone is now buying their groceries online.  my local store has about 10 parking places next to the door where you pull up and they load in the groceries you "ordered".  but the surly part is that every fucking isle has a dude with a cart loading up for the lazy fuckers.  traffic jams in the store caused by online grocery shopping...assholes.

Everyone is fucking lazy these days. I'll do my own shopping. Doesn't take me that long at all. I'm not in any hurry get that back home. I don't need some dude to do my shopping for me.

Busy bodies who think they are obligated to tell me how to take care of my dog.

"Oh it's summertime, hope you be got her on trifectas. Is she on it? Do you know where to get it?"

I look them right I'm the eye while giving myself a deep ball scratch.

Dude - grocery stores are fertile hunting ground for you. Don't pretend otherwise. We all know that you spotted a fatty, made eye contact with her, then dropped a package of Twinkies in your cart while she watched.

When you make your once in a blue moon stop at Taco Bell, you tell them to put fire sauce in the bag and they put the wimpy hot instead.

They have the "Electric Vehicle" parking out at Walnut Creek / Havins fields in North Austin.  I think of all the times I've been out there since they were installed, I've seen 2, maybe 3 electric cars plugged in, while there are cars having to park in the grass since they are afraid of getting ticketed.  Now, how many time's I've seen non-electric vehicles park there, I definitely lost count.

Get yourself a bottle of habañero Tabasco and you won't need to ask for sauce anymore.

I know it has been mentioned before, but people who park right in front of a busy door and stand there indefinitely. Whether it be just bull shitting about how regarded they both are or in my most recent experience a group of girls (High school age no pics you perverts) parking 2 inches from a hotel exit awaiting coach (HS basketball tourney in Louisville, KY) to pick them up.

Move 2 feet to the left or right, you don't need "box out" the front fucking door.

I'm blaming the "corch" for not fixing this bullshit prior to leaving to get the van.

Oh, man, this one for sure. Same with in middle of hallway or right in front of stairs. I like to just buzz right between them.  Was about to do this to two guys standing in front of the stairs at work one day when at the last second one turns to me and says "hi, how are you doing today?". It was the CEO of the company (big company and rarely see him). I took a quick veer to the right and went around instead.

People that say ink pen instead of just pen. A pen has ink in it by default. If it had lead in it, it would be a pencil.

The merge issue, particularly as it relates to Austin Texas, could truly be it's own thread.

Merging correctly is a concept that has been completely lost to passage of time.

Heading west-bound on 10th.  At Colorado St, left lane is left turn only, right lane transitions into the left lane on the other side of the intersection.  Fuck off if you go straight in the left turn only lane.  See it almost daily, though.

Places that provide a "recommended" tip amount when you are picking up your food to go.

When something happens in the day and you think to yourself, "This would be good on the surly trivial thread," and then you forget it.

Ha can’t tell you how many times that’s happened to me

Shopping in the store is for suckers. And the poor.

And people who value quality over convenience. I think the suckers are the ones letting someone else select their meat and produce for them. And paying extra for the privilege of helping the grocer clear out their older stock. 

#1937

People who don't know how to pick out produce at grocery stores.

No, I don't want some dumbass picking out rock hard avocados that I want to use tonight and giving me milk that expires tomorrow.

I've got a friend who's been a meat cutter at HEB for 30+ years. He thinks you're hilarious.

I don't think I've assumed another driver on the road knows how to merge or follow a Yield sign for about 3 years (and it probably took me too long at that). I will say that there are a lot of silly yield signs at freeway entrances around Austin still. Maybe a 'yield' was suitable in 1992, but we're way past the days where you could come to a stop at a freeway entrance ramp and wait until it's "safe" to enter. Any time between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. you will be waiting there forever and have a line of cars 10 deep honking at you before you're able to find enough space to merge carefully. No thanks, cross those fingers and step on the gas, see you on the other side.

A similar situation to this = people who need to have their group hug with relatives/friends as they're exiting the jetway into the airport while deplaning, thereby blocking everyone behind them on the jetway.  Yeah, we know you're happy to see your Aunt Millie or whomeverthefuckitis.  Just move it to the side or take it farther into the gate area so that everyone deplaning behind you doesn't have to slow down and go around your dumb ass, esp. if we're in a rush to catch a connecting flight.

There is significant difference, both in quality and price.

Especially price.

Yeah, that's the one. And yes, I admit, those did help, but I promise at 5 pm or after 10 pm on a weekend, hearding cats would be smoother.

Oh yeah, going north on Mopac from 360 or 71 (pick your shit storm) is also a pain. 

Have you tried earplugs?

#1950

As a colorblind person, I hate when websites use stupid made up names for colors, instead of the standard color names. I don't know what "dusty peach" is, or "bold mandarin". Just say blue, green, red, etc.
