You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

[Hot_Flatus]

People claiming the new movie "The Whale" may trigger obese people really grinds my gears. It's a movie - it's supposed to evoke some emotion! If that offends you, stay home or don't see it!

On that basis alone, I'm going to watch it out of spite.

Clients that don't listen RGMGs

I imagine anyone who thinks cyclists are the worst thing on the road is one of the many selfish drivers in a huge vehicle who are the actual worst things on the road.

Do cyclists suck? Sure, but the worst thing they’re going to do to me is scratch my bumper. #######s in trucks who drive it like a sports car might kill me.

But I told you what I want. It’s your job to figure out how to get it done, laws of physics be damned.

There's a truck selling flags on 16th ave. There's a Confederate flag right next to an Every Child Matters flag. Covering their bases I guess, but WTF?

Drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians all suck.

When you're being one of them, the other two suck.

You don't make money by choosing sides.

Saw the new redesign of some Campbell's Soup cans. They made them taller but small volume - shrinkflation.

What’s the opposite of that when things like pepperoni sticks have a higher moisture content? Fillerflation?

I can handle that.

It's when the client asks for A, B, C, H, Q, X

I tell them we can do A, B, C, H, X but Q is impossible and set out why it can't be done. At that time they agree.


Fast forward to being balls deep in the project and they are like "hey A, B, C, H, X look good, but what's up with Q. You guys have really dropped the ball on that."

This is why I started making sure clients acknowledge #### like that in writing (ie: Email etc.).

Can we please start checking bags again? This dance for room in the overhead compartment is tiresome. Spend the 50 bucks and do us all a favor.

Yeah I do the same, but when you have two masters (Operations and Vendor Management) at the client it always messes up.

Now everyone and his dog gets included on ####.

We've touched on this before.

The issue is the size of carry on and classification of carry on. I saw a dude carry a guitar, monster backpack and small backpack on a plane.

Like #### off dude (not you, guitar dude)

If it was 1 checked bag free then we wouldn't have this problem.

If checked baggage actually ended up in the same location as the passenger, with any real reliability, $50 wouldn't be so bad. But $50 for the joy of having your luggage lost is just.... Ugh.

This is a big factor especially this past summer and it is probably still carrying over. If the baggage issues didn't exist more people would probably check instead of over packing carryon.

Even for folks like me who get free checked bags we only checked one suitcase instead of two this summer and packed 4 or so days of clothes for each of us in carryon because of all the fear about lost luggage.

[SportsJunky]

Granted, I get to check for free so maybe I don't see the full problem but #### me people are morons with their carry on baggage. I also think the lost luggage thing isn't as bad as its being made out to be. Havent experienced that myself at least. I put my laptop bag at my feet and then wait for the Karen's to fight for that open spot above my head.
