You know what really grinds my gears...

Postby AuthorTony » Wed Feb 17, 2021 11:44 am


I could understand somebody who needs to get out of their house early shoveling at early, but somebody who is retired? **** that ****. That's dadhole level stuff right there. I won't even start my lawnmower before 9am.
Yeah, he's retired and since covid, I bet he doesn't leave his property more than once a month. He's just bored, which I understand, but man, 6am... :face:

Maybe no delivery company wants to go to Somerset more than once per week...
And who could blame them?

In a new annoyance, my retired neighbor who goes nowhere decided to scrape his walkway with a plastic shovel at 6am. That wouldn't be bad aside from the fact that I go to bed at 2.
My late neighbor who passed away a few months ago used to do this. He had nowhere to go, just up early every day and was done by the time I was out clearing things for the kids to go to school.

I go to Lowe’s to grab more True Fuel for my snowblower, and there’s somebody in the aisle filling their entire cart with the stuff. Already a dozen or so in there. So I grab the two that I want as they’re putting more in their cart, and this **** actually says “excuse me, I was grabbing those”. Told him I guess these ones weren’t destined to be hoarded like the rest of them.

Outside of the fact that only a complete dadhole does something like that, but if you need that kind of volume, why aren’t you buying 5g fuel jugs and filling up at the ethanol free gas station that’s a few miles away?

It could be worse. I get along very well with my neighbor, and he's a nice guy. But he's recently started to use his leaf blower to blow snow off his car, also at 6 am.

I am always surprised how loud my electric blower is.

Electric blowers seem to cut through the air like a knife with their higher pitched whine, IMO.

when you post a picture of food on Facebook (yes, I'm that person. food, cats, hockey, no politics)) and someone feels the need to respond with a puke emoji. :roll:

me after I bought under armor undershirts from Amazon and it turns out in the under armor lexicon “small” means “dress-sized”

Who goes to a store in 2021? That's what Prime is for.

UPS Mail Innovations. I've now had 2 things shipped via this sad sack of a delivery service, and both have taken obscene amounts of time to arrive.

This time, the shipment sat on "awaiting carrier pick up" for FIVE days. Since shipping, it has been following the exact same script as the previous one... It gets into Ohio and they apparently walk it from facility to facility as it takes days to work its way across the state.

Just **** stupid.

That's UPS Mail Innovations in a nutshell. It's basically the tin can and string of technology.

Haha maybe, but they probably aren't much of a revenue generator under the solo male category...

Netflix's app. I select the 'Remind me' option on a few upcoming shows and movies in Netflix's app, and of course that requires you to allow notifications on your iPhone. Not only will you be notified of these titles being released, but basically any major release. And the app does not allow you to only opt-in for the reminders that you want - it's all or nothing.
