Small things in life that gravel your ass
 

What are some things in life that are really not that big of a deal in the big picture, but just piss you off?

My example of the day:

The dogs were barking at something today out in the alley, so I went outside to find out what the hell was going on. Some Slippery Larry contractor was back there unloading a bunch of shit into my city garbage container.

Me: Hey there strokestick, are you my new neighbor or something?

Slippery Larry: No

Me: Yeah, I knew that, then why are you dumping your crap out into my garbage container? I have plans to clean out the garage and am going to need the space.

Slippery Larry: I don't know.

Me: Do you live in a house, do YOU have a garbage container?

Slippery Larry: Yes, but it's full, so I'm dumping it in here.

Me: No, no you're not, try the city dump. Don't let me ever catch you back here pulling the bullshit again, or we are going to have a big problem.

At that point, he high tailed it out of there.

Like I said, it wasn't like the guy was back there trying to break into my shop, but it rubbed me the wrong way.

was it like a business garbage container, like those huge ones? I never actually tried doing that, but I've thought about it.

No, it's a hardened plastic container with a lid, that the city provides for my tax dollars. It's one per every two people. Between the two us us, by the end of the week, we can fill it on our own.

People who always have to talk louder than everyone else because they think everything they say is sooooo interesting... especially when you're on the phone and can't hear who you're talking to over them

People who leave cupboards open

People who don't clean up after themselves

People.

There's no excuse for people doing stuff like that. It's rude.

People who post too many poll threads.

:)

I know this has been brought up in several theads over the years, but dipshits that drive slow in the left lane of a highway and won't pull to the right and let people by, who know how to use a ****ing gas pedal.

Your getting chapped because one of the seven deadly sins is coming into play. GREED. You want all the trash bins to be yours and when you don't get those trash bins, it pisses you off.

Parasites. Human ones.

That must be it!

I almost included people who can't drive the speed limit (at least) in general.

People who don't pick up gum wrappers

I get aggravated by the following things:

1. People who don't turn on their turn signal at all or wait until they've all but jammed on their brakes right in front of you, as if your telepathic gifts should have told you they were turning.

2. People who leave their grocery cart in a parking space when there's a cart corral literally 20 feet from where they are. Hey douche-nozzle, you wouldn't have to buy whole grain food and diet coke if you just walked the 20 feet to bring your cart back, and our prices wouldn't be so high if they didn't have to hire all those teenagers to round up the carts.

3. People who change their order at the drive-through while they're at the window, or make multiple different orders. There's a time to go in and do it in person. Then again, these are the same chubs who can't walk their cart back to the corral, either.

4. People who bitch and moan about the federal debt, only to hound their congressman and complain that he didn't bring home the pork to build that 3-toed sloth museum.

5. California weather-people. They're baked crispy-orange and talk about how great it is that we don't have rain, and then when half our forests are in flames, bitch about how it's been so dry.

6. People at the airport that try to board the plane before it's their turn. We're all getting on the plane, people.

7. Airline companies that bitch about how much carry-on baggage people have. Hmmmm....wonder why we're all carrying on bags, now? Idiots.

8. California sports fans. I'm not making this up. There was a mom at our school who had Chargers stuff all over the back of her SUV. Then when they lost all those games and the Packers were unbeaten, she mysteriously became a Packers fan and put a GB decal on the back of her SUV. Then the DAY after the Giants beat them, the window was blank. Like her brain. I hate fair-weather fans.
