    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

4.9% financing, which in and of itself hurt my head; but then they throw 84 months out there like it's a feature, not a rip-off.

 

I guess the poker adage applies here, "It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money."

Duh! You can't buy an $80,000 Tahoe for less than $1000 month without 84 month financing!

Yeah. No.

I took the kids to Yogurtland and their machine asked if I wanted to give them a 20% tip.

During Covid, they at least put on the toppings for you. Why do I owe you a tip if all you’re doing is weigh my bowl?

So M$ will be sending out refunds? Minor I know, but why? And yes, I do occasionally use skype and publisher. Publisher mainly to read old files I still have.

 

  • Beginning March 03, 2026, you will no longer have access to 60 minutes of monthly Skype calls to mobile phones and landlines. Learn more in these Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
     
  • Beginning October 01, 2026, Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported as part of Microsoft 365. Many common Publisher scenarios are available in other Microsoft 365 apps, including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Designer. 

    Action Recommended: Before October 01, 2026, convert your existing Publisher files to PDF or Word format. After this date, you will no longer be able to open or edit these files with Microsoft Publisher.

My PC just updated to W11 24H2 and MICROSOFT FUCKING TOOK AWAY WORDPAD!!! WHAT THE FUCK!

 

 

Also, why the FUCK does IRS not provide fillable PDF versions of the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet, what a fucking pain in the ass.

 

Should have used TurboTax!*

I've long advocated that litterbugs should be shot. 

Drove by a Starbucks cup standing perfectly right side up on the 1 foot wide shoulder alongside the dividing wall of I-45 this morning. Someone stuck in traffic had to have opened their door and deliberately placed it for it to be standing like that.

 

Cops shouldn't be summarily executing citizens but I think I'd make an exception for that asshole.

All commercials is a bridge too far.  Sometimes a good commercial will give you more entertainment than the show it is surrounded by.

Litter. We discussed earlier. Went to a ford dealer in san antonio. Wife wanted to test drive a maverick.

5-6 dudes sitting like vultures out front of the building. Salesmen.

Litter all over the place. Wrappers, water bottles, rubber bands, you name it. Pissed me off.

I identified with this meme for a long time, until one day it dawned on me the plastic spacer thing is meant to go on bottom. 

Once you realize that, hit rate goes up to 90%

I really miss living next to a major airport hub. 

From my current residence, anywhere we need to fly are all best served by a hodgepodge of nickel- and diming- discount carriers. For leisure, for work, short haul, medium haul, doesnt matter. 

No full-service legacy/flagship carriers unless flying long-haul, and thats with a minimum of 1 stop for basically anywhere.

See: every superbowl with Mahomes / Chiefs playing.

There's this really high ranking technical guy in the company who's got a SEVERE stutter--both dragggggggggggging words and rererepeating words.  And the company keeps dragging him out to give speeches and talks to big audiences. And nobody can understand a goddamn thing he says.

I'm very sympathetic to people with different accents and language abilities, but I don't understand either. It's painful for everyone to stare at him blankly for 40 minutes, unable to process anything.

Sure man, the guy might be an absolute genius with a thousand patents and great technical advice, but what is the point in making people sit through this stuff? By the way, he's not a 30 year old, he's senior aged, so it's not like they're doing this as a form of exposure therapy to reform his speech; all of this has to be voluntary from him.  But goddamn why?

My immediate team of 11 people represents 10 nationalities, only 1 of whom is a native English speaker (not I!). We communicate in English though, and I don't begrudge anyone for not speaking it perfectly. I just don't see the point of guy doing all of the talking when he's understood by perhaps 5% of the audience.

In the office this morning and had to take a shit. I go to the bathroom and it's empty, I go to the handicapped stall, as the regular one it ridiculously tiny. A guy comes in and crashed into the stall door, didn't bother to do the gentle push to see if it was locked. Just barreled into it like scooby doo. He had to take the walk of shame into the tiny stall.

At what point do you clue in to what the customer might be wanting?

Running joke in our family- my FIL was taking his grandsons for lunch, and after about 5 minutes of back & forth without a decision, he blurts out, ' I don't want Mexican food. Let's go to Rosa's!'

Shit man I'll tear up some Rosa's. It's basically just a better version of Taco Cabana.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with Rosa's. My grown ass boys still laugh about that day though.

This is my current ordeal with MSFT and their ass-ignorant Authenticator. I can’t authenticate Outlook/Teams because the Authenticator won’t sent the right signals to my Authenticator app. Fuck that Catch 22 horsecockery.

My sister (no pics) and BIL absolutely LOVE them some Rosa's.  They used to live in Odessa, moved to Katy and later Flower Mound.  When a Rosa's opened down the road from them in Flower Mound they were practically orgasmic.  Both of these people had lived in the great state of Texas their entire lives up until that point.

 

I was born in TX and lived there until I graduated college, and haven't since.  You would think my perception of good mexican or Tex Mex would have been more jaded than theirs, yet here they were spouting that is was the greatest thing EVAR.  It's aight, but like you said, more on par with a Taco Cabana.  SMDH.

Don’t be dissing Rosa’s. It’s good stuff. It doesn’t pretend to be anything that it isn’t—good fast-casual Tex Mex.
