Stupid Pet Peeves

I think I’ve mentioned this one before but...it was hot as balls today. Early afternoon I had to run and grab some parts I needed for the job I was on. I was hot and thirsty, so I stopped at 7-11 to grab a Slurpee only to walk in and find not a single one was frozen and ready to go. I don’t know what it takes to get the Slurpees going, but when the temperature jumps 20+ degrees in a day or two, you might want to think about starting the machine a little earlier.

When you're in the middle of doing some sort of business (looking for a job, applying for a loan, dealing with medical issues, whatever) and you're waiting for a phone call but you don't know the number of the person who will be calling so you're answering your phone every time it rings so you answer 1000 BS telephone solicitations, car warranty, solar, health insurance, and on and on.

People who are naturally good at spelling and thinking they're automatically smarter than people who can't spell. Ironically, this helped me to a certain extent.

Unless I routinely use words or if it's auto-populated on my phone, I have to Google how to spell something and then copy and paste it. I spell better in Spanish than English because of simple *phonetics (thanks auto populate.) Lol

People's brain's work differently and that's not being cute.

When I realize I routinely misspell a word I have to pronounce it different in my head to ever get it right consistently. Like "restaurant" I have to think of as "rest awe rant" or else I put the u behind the second a like "restaraunt".

It is becoming a peeve of mine to see people walking around in public places, making no effort to maintain any kind of distance, and having their "mask" hanging from one ear or pulled down under their chin. I get it is a huge imposition to wear a mask for 5 minutes to go into the convenience store to buy your cigarettes, but some of us are making an effort. Assholes.
 
Went golfing this morning at 630 am. Took my 6 year old an 10 year old so I already knew it would be rough. But the first 5 holes had at least 5 tractor lawnmowers each running the entire time.

How am I supposed to putt with my 6 year old running around trying to get hit by a club or ball, 5 mexicans riding loud *** tractors during my backswing, no alcohol in me as its 6 am. I'm an 8 handicap and I shot a 50 on 9. Not a good day at all god dammit.
 
A girl I knew growing up, her mom was my babysitter from like age 2-9, who I only have facebook contact with now posted her irritation with NC governor mandating masks.

She says that she and what I assume is one of her kids can't wear masks because she has asthma. Then she expresses how happy she is that she's going to be traveling to Florida next week, presumably because they didn't have a mask mandate at the time.

So this bitch is all about how she was a Marine... Newsflash, you can't be in the military if you have asthma. Not only that, but you are going to find yourself wearing a variety of masks in the course of military service, not the least of which is an entire chemical attack suit.

So she's just a liar that doesn't want to wear a mask

The brits had a good approach during the first gulf war, wear your chemical weapons suit or get shot.
