    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

When the flat sheet rides up while the comforter stays put.

Day 1: fold the flat sheet over the comforter. Fold over is ~12”. 
 

Day 3: folder over is now about 18”. Hoe does that even happen?

It’s the hoe. 

Your hand rests on the shifter if your first car had a manual transmission.

Which btw, is a no no. It leads to wearing out synchros and forks!

Have people forgotten how to ride a fucking elevator…or get on one…properly?   
 

my God, at least twice/day I have to dodge some Karen trying to jump on the elevator as soon as the doors open when I’m trying to exit.

Or some idiot is on there by themself and hiding around the corner and takes their sweet ass time exiting, and looks at you like an idiot when you look at them and wonder why they wanted to hide on the elevator like a child.

That post sounds like it’s two people complaining about the other’s elevator etiquette from the same encounter.

Miles & miles of this shit on I-35 through Waxahachie at 11am this morning (posted sign: “No Trucks In Left Lane”)

Universal bitch… Please make sure you arrive 15 minutes early for your Dr. appointment. Then we’ll leave you alone in a freezing cold examination room for a full 40 minutes after we take your BP and say the doctor will be right in. I’ve started playing the 5 more minutes game. “ I’m walking out if they don’t show up in 5 more minutes. Now, I’m leaving this MF’r if they aren’t here in 5 minutes!” Repeat.

Truckers who use the left lane while governed at or below the speed limit have their own chamber in Hell reserved.  Fuck those assholes.

We used to drive I-80 between Des Moines and Iowa City regularly, and that part of Iowa consists of long, gently rolling hills.  Two trucks would be side by side governed at the same rate of speed.  When they crest a hell, the heavier one would creep ahead, but never far enough to pass, and then they'd slow climbing the next long gentle hill.  There had to be times where if you had helicopter footage that there would be no one between the trucks and the next exit, and 10-15 miles of traffic stuck behind them.

Fuck you Microsoft Windows 11 for grouping icons on the task bar. I usually work with 2-3 Chrome windows (not counting the personal one). I used to be able to quickly see  and click which Chrome window to open. Now I have to hover my mouse over the fucking Chrome icon, see which one I want, and then click on that. It's not that I'm trying to save seconds (otherwise I wouldn't be fucking around on Surly), but it's just fucking annoying.

Looking at at Windows forum, people have been bitching about this since 11 was first rolled out, and Microsoft has done shit about it. My company IT won't let me download a 3rd party program to ungroup, so it's dealing with this bullshit until Microsoft gets its head out of its ass. Fuck!

autogrouping is horrible.  does anyone actually like having it grouped?  never combine, two rows high, and show me all the icons in the system tray.  i promise you i have enough pixels to handle it, microsoft.

why is so much in windows 11 fucking unfinished?  they've been trying to remake control panel into settings since windows 8 and they're still not done (though the settings panel fucking blows, why can i only open one of them?)  multiple desktops kinda works well until outlook can't remember which desktops it was open on, something chrome manages to do just fine.  which is microsoft's cash cow and which is from a competing company?

And I always have a sneaking suspicion they're inside their cabs chuckling to themselves.

Reminds me of the ‘70s and early ‘80s trucker movies where the truckers block the police from catching the “Bandit”.

People that answer your question before you’re done asking.

You’ve apparently met my wife and daughter.

The skin on a banana turns brown faster where the sticker was applied. 

Rained/drizzled all morning at the soccer fields. No games even delayed. Call rain out line just to be sure before leaving and “all games on”. Drive out there and it stops raining about 12:45p. Our game is 2p. All games from 2p on fucking canceled.

Pain management clinics.  Not simply oxymoronic. 

This! Good luck finding a regular MD willing to touch any chronic pain issues these days though.

Read “presets” as priests, only realized my mistake when the car notes didn’t make sense. Think I need a third cup of coffee.

United Flight 787 uses a Boeing 777

I came to see a movie and wanted to get a big coke. 

They have Pepsi products.

Freaking American Airlines. We’re in San Diego for a wedding.  We were booked on a 7:15 am flight this morning back to DFW. At the reception last night we got the notification the flight had been canceled. Not delayed, outright cancelled. 
 

The wait time to talk to an agent was 2.5-3.5 hours.  And I have platinum status. What a joke. They force you to DIY, on the app or website.

I’m severely claustrophobic, so have to have an aisle seat. When rebooking, it won’t let you check the seat situation before booking the new flight. Of course the flight I choose has nothing but center seats. I had to go through 4 different re-bookings until I found one with an aisle seat. Instead of getting in at noon today we get in at 6:30. 
 

My claustrophobia also makes me very surly. I hate it. It’s getting worse as I get older too, like my dad.  Can’t sit in a center or a window seat on an airplane. Can’t sit in the back seat of any car. Couldn’t go into the tunnels when we went to Israel last year.

Fuck this worthless invention. Whoever invented these should be in jail. They peel effectively maybe 1% of the time before i end up using my thumb.

That’s what a pocketknife is for. 

They're better than the non-tabbed variant.  Lift, then peel from one edge of the tab to the other.  I find them successful 95% of the time.

I’m a Pepsi guy. For some reason Buc-ees has stopped carrying all Pepsi products. It’s the only decent c-store in this town.

Wasp and Hornet spray is not as effective as it once was.

I remember spraying wasps and they would die instantly. Now I spray them and they wiggle around until they die.

Either the spray has changed or there is a new killer wasp invading my house.

That's what the match is for.

I've never done this myself, but it's not uncommon for FFers to arrange alternate flights themselves (ie outside of the ticketing carriers default options), and then getting it reimbursed later.  In case of irrops, it's within the bounds of carriers to go outside the partner network, so it wouldnt be a "tough" fight to get the money back.

Get yourself to where you need to be first, and let them sort it out later.
