You know what really grinds my gears...

[Pavel Bure]

Annoying old ladies...

Wife and I decided to take a walk this evening, and we live on a very short dead end street off a very busy road. We cross said very busy road to a nice little neighborhood for our walk. There are no side walks, but the streets aren't super busy... one or two cars per walk.

We get across the busy road and start our walk, and this car is turning into the neighborhood. We get clear to the side of the road, and the car is stopped and an old lady is just staring at us. We got off the road... completely off the road into someone's yard hoping she'd drive by(please don't let the air out of my tires). She pulls up and rolls down the window.

"Who's walking who over here?"
"Haha, yeah... the little guy runs the pack."
"Is that a brindled lab?"
"Yes... and he's terrified of strangers and cars."
"Oh, I'm sure he's not terrified of me."
"No, really... he's very scared, so we're going to keep going on our walk."
"How old is he?"
"He's 9. But seriously, we're gonna keep going, so if you could..."
"How old is the baby?"
"3 weeks. There's a car coming the other way so if you could just go..."
"Oh my, 3 weeks... where do you guys live?"
"Just across the road, we're going to go." *start walking away*
"Oh, you should be very careful, that's a very busy road and..."
Then she was out of ear shot and still sitting there in her car in the middle of the street.

First off, when someone says their dog is terrified of strangers and cars, how is that not a hint to carry on your way? Oh no... the dog hates every stranger except you. You're somehow that damn special that he magically likes you and no other strangers in the entire world. Then when we say we're going to get going, that's not an invitation to keep talking to us, ya old hag. gtfo.

You must be great at parties.

<At least one neighbor, always>: I see it's a beautiful day for the first time in weeks; let me get my chainsaw out.

[count2infinity]

I think I might be the absolute worst line picker in the world. I always seem to pick a line with a slow cashier, product issue in front of me, or annoying customer.

Today, I saw a line with only one lady in it. All her stuff is on the belt and it’s only 7 or 8 things. She pays and stands there looking at her receipt. She asks if the cashier can check on her chicken price. She says “it should be 19 cents lower... that’s the only reason I bought it.” The cashier checks the receipt and the price label. They both match and she tells the lady. The lady then demands that she check the price on the cooler because it was definitely 19 cents cheaper.

At this point I glance around, I’ve got 2 people behind me and all the other lines are full, not to mention all my stuff is on the belt. I reach into my pocket and I feel a quarter.



“Ma’am, here’s a quarter if you need that extra 19 cents.”

She got pissed and stormed off, but at least the cashier got to start on my groceries and chuckled.

ill start handing out quarters at parties if you think it’ll help, Pavel.

How dare they wait for nice weather to do yardwork. Alternative dimension:

dodint: my neighbors never take care of their yard it's an eyesore

It sounds like a guy sitting on a dirtbike and revving it for two hours straight. It's distractingly loud and I am inside with the windows closed.

The underlying point is not that chainsaw schmuck is committing an absolute wrong; it's that I bought the wrong house. Neighbors suck.

[willeyeam]

Lol I kid

[dodint]

No, really, I need a farm. The place I live is too population dense.

Join @Freddy Rumsen and me and we'll buy 50+ acres somewhere remote. That should be enough for the 3 of us.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that

Take this quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face.

The last time I used a chainsaw I screwed up my back cutting brush.

I don't even like the movie that much, but this is one my favorite film insults ever.

[count2infinity]

I didn't even think it was an insult at first. I was seriously just trying to help and get her the hell out of the way. After she got upset, I thought maybe I was a little out of line. When I told my wife the story and she started busting up laughing, I knew it was insulting. Oh well... worth it.

Part of me wants you to buy a chainsaw, but the other part of me would feel bad after you trip over it and saw your face off.

The obvious choice here is for you to rent a chainsaw.

I rented a 20" saw from Home Depot after we lost a tree in a winter storm. Top notch and only $50. For as little as I need a saw, it made sense. Thankfully, I didn't trip over it and saw my face off.
