    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

Of course.  Note "trivial" in thread heading.  Or, all wypipo problems.  Should have been in my carryon, etc, etc.  Now, find something trivial that irks you that we can ridicule out of context.

For those bashing us olds for playing video games, I met a fine young woman while playing battlefront online. 

She sent me pics and a dirty pair of her panties after I bought her a plane ticket to austin. 

Flight keeps getting cancelled though.

The dad in Illinois who, after his son told him he wanted to spend his Christmas money on the homeless, called the local tv station and had a crew record their every movement that day from writing out a list, going to the bank to cash out Jr’s savings account, hitting up the Walmart, then delivering the goods. Selfless acts are much better when you don’t do a self promoting story about it.

Weird, that was also my parents attitude towards child-rearing.

Websites that don't let you override their geographic routing.

My work's internet connection is routed through one country, and i'm often traveling to another.  Some websites will just fucking stick to that local variant and language, and don't allow or will ignore your trying to redirect it to the .COM or .com/en-us or whathaveyou

It bothers me when it is almost 70 degreed outside and there are still people out there dressed like it's 40 because it was 40 like 5 hours ago.

And in a strange twist, in the world of escalators that is considered a masterpiece of performance art depicting the final hours of Mitch Hedberg's life.

I wear long sleeves and shorts in the spring time. Lower body doesn't get as cold as upper body. But it's not a huge ass sweater or hoody though.

I'm talking about dead of the winter 30 degree type shit. I see these people and I just want to bitch slap them

Anybody mention the asswipes wearing striped overalls at football games?
You want to an Aggy game?

No overalls.

But I HAVE been contemplating getting a burnt orange polyester jumpsuit for game days...

fuckin' fart bag........

Oh this is a good one, not only homeless but veterans and puppies/shelters. 

I've got mixed feelings about this. My ex wife runs a government funded veteran's affairs agency and while in reality she has done tremendous work and helped thousands get much needed assistance it's pretty obvious by her social media presence that a significant amount of her attention whoring is to stroke her own ego. Maybe I notice it because I was married to her and see it for what is, a cry for validation. She's a mean vindictive witch to close family members but public perception puts her up there with mother Teresa.

 

My daughter is a former Miss Tennessee and her mom served as publicist. They went on a statewide campaign to bring awareness to veterans affairs but the minute she didn't win Miss America it was all crickets- they let her website lapse, no more social media campaigns, etc. I pointed out that duh, everyone loves puppies, children, cancer patients, the environment, and veterans when they serve a purpose, but real commitment is when you lose a pageant and keep investing your time for the cause. Tone.

 

I just joined the executive board of a very established, respected nonprofit and can't wait to bust my butt for them in obscurity and relative anonymity.

If that has an ass flap, then you’re all set.

I'm here at the discount tire for new  tires , and there is like a line 5 deep to get air pressure checked.   Can't believe how many can't figure out how to do this themselves.   Sure it's free, but I can do it in like 5 minutes with a cheap inflator at home.

Back in Oct when we had that really strong cold front come through N. Texas and lows dipped down in the 20s, I passed by a Discount Tire on my way to work one morning and the line for the tire pressure check was spilling out in the street.  Couldn't believe how many people A). Were stupid/lazy enough to not check their own tire pressure and B). Didn't understand how cold temperatures effect air pressure.  I bet they got into their cars that morning, put the key in the ignition, and their dash lit up like a Christmas tree with all the TPMS warnings and thought "zomg wat is happening!"

It's not all women either.  There's plenty of dudes with trucks that should own an air compressor.   I think that should be a prerequisite for owning a truck.

Or even a bicycle pump

Maybe I should back track  and add a surly thought at the same time, because I just remembered something.  I was on a road trip and needed to air up a tire, the damn gas station charges  $1.50 to use their compressor.  Wtf.  Now I kind of understand waiting in line for 15 minutes at discount  tire.

I had no idea this was a thing. A small, basic air compressor is like $100 and will last for years.

Ring doorbell commercial has this tuff guy scaring off some evil burgers in the middle of the day. Obviously a gym rat.

There was guy wearing this in burnt orange at the Sugar Bowl. He was an old though and looked senile, so I gave him a pass.

To add to this, used to be that most would just start it for you for free when you asked. Now most of these compressors are credit card use and the guys inside have no control over it.
