You need to be drunk yourself, to enjoy it, otherwise it's gg.

Thanks! Because I actually typed that out. Just to annoy you.

If it is an off-leash area, then I don't think non-dog people have a good argument that random dogs run up to them (and potentially scare them, etc.)

What really gets me is people who walk their dogs off leash in places that are clearly not off-leash. No, your dog is not so well trained that "it's fine". Way too many people think their dog is well trained when they are not even close. Personally I don't like random dogs running up to me (whatever their intentions might me), and I expect that things like that should not happen in on-leash areas.

WRGMG is when pouring a glass of milk from the 4l plastic jugs, the little crusty bits of milk wait until you have the mouth over top of your glass, mid pour, before leaping off en masse straight into your glass.

Most of the aggressive dogs are on leashes anyway so it's kind of irrelevant

WRGMG is when you call your credit card company, are told by the automated system to "in order to serve you more quickly, please enter your credit card number followed by the pound key", only to be asked once again by the live customer service rep to provide your card info.

Why bother with it in the first place????

Mine does that so that they can waste my time by repeating my balance, previous payment info and future payments to me before giving me the option to talk to a person.

I am sure it has been 15 years since I called them to find out my balance or payment info.

I know all the words to 'Clint Eastwood' by the Gorillaz and have a deep voice like Del the Funky Homisapien. One time at our birthday party me and my buddy got up on the karaoke to do the song, I did the rap parts (we weren't super drunk yet). We crushed it so hard the bar brought us free shots.

Finger Cookin · 08-25-2014, 08:23 PM

So getting shots bought for you grinds your gears?

AcGold · 08-25-2014, 10:21 PM

More like a campfire chat about drunken karaoke. I don't even want to admit what songs I sang.

Autorobot receptionists across all companies are the worst, in general. I understand the purpose, but holy great fata are they annoying, especially when there are 14 menus, and god forbid you ever lose your place and have to call back and cycle through them all again.

Pizza hut does the phone number thing too. Type in your phone number, person comes on, what's your phone number? Hey loserboots, there are other pizza options. This should be quick and painless.

The waste of skin ####### that keyed my car for no reason today. I was parked perfectly normal between the lines as well (have a picture for proof).

Southcentre security has video trained on where I was parked and they are looking at the video. I hope they find the person so I can get CPS involved.

Duruss · 08-26-2014, 05:58 PM

Feeling something "pop" in the back of my right thigh/buttocks while stretching like normal. Now I have a sore and stiffening right leg.

Hope you have more luck than I did after it happened to me in that parking lot. After having CPS and security take a look all the cop said was "Looks like it was accidental like someone was holding a key in the hand while walking by. They probably didn't realize what happened"
Not likely, about as straight and deep as it could be. Someone knew what they were doing. Even if it was an accident, ignorance doesn't make property damage acceptable.

RGMG just thinking about it.

BS. I'd love to use that excuse for other situations. 'Sorry officer, I was just driving along and didn't see that there were people in that crosswalk. I didn't realize what happened."

^^ thats kind of how pedestrian collisions are handled. Unless you were driving wrecklessly or drunk no one goes to jail.

Jail, no, but there's usually fines involved.

Huntingwhale · 08-26-2014, 07:33 PM

Car keying GMG too. Someone did that to my car about 4 years ago. They carved a f'ing "V" right into the 3m protection on my hood, then did my bumper and both wheel wells. I was able to get the everything but the carved V out with touch up paint. Hopefully you can do the same.

This may seem like the most inane gear grinder, but all these dickwads at the gym who have the Business News Network playing on the locker room TVs irritate the hell out of me. (I'm looking at you, Eau Claire Y)

It's not just the fact that they have it on and are watching intently, it's the fact that the volume is generally cracked to the same volume as a Dolby sound commercial in the movie theatre, to make sure EVERYONE in the change room knows how important you are because your watching BNN.

Look, it's a gym. Put on some sort of sport. Fitness is why we're all there. If your so important that you can't be out of contact with what's going on with the multi-billion dollar portfolio you are trying to convince me that you're managing, then maybe you shouldn't be in the gym. And if you were actually that high up in the finance world, you'd be working out at the Banker's Hall club or some other high-end facility, not the Y.

So knock it off, you f'ing posers.
