Stupid Pet Peeves

[NAOS]

Explain please.

interesting people get stirred up every now and then; they take a little energy from elsewhere and pump it through them -- maybe just so they can let go of some of their own ********. The will to soberness is often the most stifling voice around. And it also usually demands that it be seen as the gatekeeper to genuine experience. I ****s with that because it's wrong. Being healthy is cool, though. Sobriety isn't the gatekeeper to that, either.

EDIT TO ADD: some people get their kicks by catching the holy ghost. Others get it from some form of ascetic diet. Others get it from "drugs". Etc. common/sober sense is the enemy at these times.

I was just curious to your viewpoint. Very interesting. I don't agree, but still interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Lol Arizona is way different than other places for sure. Passing lane? They literally have signs that say "Slower traffic keep right". The left lane is for people who wan't to go faster than the speed limit not to pass.

Bobby pins

My wife and my daughter leave them everywhere. Bobby pins in the shower, in the carpet, on the counters, on the bed stand, in the cup holder in the car. The one place I don't find bobby pins is in the bobby pin container.

Pretty sure I posted this one somewhere with hair scrunchies or wtf they are called. I finally started throwing those ****ers away. Same with empty water bottles, coffee mugs, crayons and coloring books, and all the other bull **** I have to clean up every single day.

Shoes and clothes are next. They can all go nekked for all I care. (delete response asap)

It's a symbolic term for white male suppression by vindictive, mindless females. Bobby pins, grooming products caking a bathroom... it's all bobby pins, man.

Bobby pins are the enemy of many a metal detectorist...

I'm sure I've posted this one before, but people who drive in your blind spot. Like they're you're freaking wingman all the sudden. You speed up they speed up. You slow down they slow down. Always just chillin' right in your blind spot.

This is a daily thing for me - oblivious people. Just today alone; push your grocery cart right to the point you're between the auto opening doors and... Stop while you look around the parking lot trying to remember. Get The **** Out Of The Way!

This happens multiple times inside a grocery store, every trip.
Are you srsly going to stop in the dead center of the intersection to read the aisle placards and block all directions of traffic???

People - "oh HI Jane! How you been?? Great! How's the family? .... "
In the middle of the aisle..

Are all you people completely retarded?

Hearing about how good the NBA western conference is as an excuse for why the Jazz suck.

Fans who are unwilling to be patient during a rebuild?

The rebuild that happened five years ago? Or are we in another rebuild? Or are we rebuilding the old rebuild?

I'm plenty patient. But if the Jazz aren't a competitive team (like if there are more than 10 teams in the league clearly better than the Jazz) then let's all just admit the Jazz aren't very good. We can't say the players are good, the coach is good and the team is good...except for the fact that more than half the league and 2/3rds of their conference is better than them. If that's true they aren't good.
