Ok, so the fireworks are this weekend, and we're debating what to do about this couple.

Basically, they always leech off of snacks/sandwhich's everyone else brings, but never brings any of their own stuff, and never offers to pay for anything.

No one wants to outright tell them to bring shite, they should know what they're doing... Also, not inviting them isn't an option because they'll be there regardless. So, it's either:

No more big hauls.

1. Everyone brings their own lunch bags just for themselves/their famlies.

2. Everyone eats before showing and brings nothing.

3...Suck it up, let the bastards leech.

When you're at a light, and some idiot behind you starts sounding their horn.

Move faster Doc

I get annoyed on my commute when the light turns green and no one moves. I rarely blow the horn though

Here's mine: When you post an observation or vent as your status and friends feel the need to tell you it's not worth complaining about

Sorry, I meant a RED light.

why would someone blow the horn at a red light?

Because they're impatient jerks. Same reason some years back this guy was honking behind me for going barely above speed limit (In my defense, I've been ticketed for 10 miles over on that street, AND I was taxi-ing my grandfather who's kind of a stickler for road rules.)

Usually happens at longer lasting left hand turns, of which there's a few. Every so often (Like the other day), someone near the back of the line just won't want to wait, but can't get over to the right for some reason, so they'll lay on the horn (I also wasn't first in line this time, but had the guy ahead of me gone, he'd have run right into a police car coming from the left.)

I've been at the front when the light goes green, and the guy behind me doesn't even let 1/5 of a second pass before he starts beeping at me to go. I can't move my foot from the brake to the gas as quick as that.

Trying to grill up buffalo chicken burgers.

Just getting them on the grill is a trick, things are more liquid then solid.

Dogs who cower under furniture during 4th of July fireworks.

Fucking asshole mutts lack patriotism.

Let this be your annual reminder.

Facebook posts that go something like this.

***SOLVE THIS***

1 + 4 = 5

2 + 5 = 12

3 + 6 = 21

5 + 8 = ??

***97% of you will Fail this test!***

ASSHOLES!!! 5 + 8 is 13! AND 3 + 6 is 9, AND 2 + 5 is 7!!

Your math is horseshit, and 97% of you are twats!

All the wheeler dealers around here. Seems like every other person is "working an angle" or trying to "game the system".

Everything from faking injuries to scam insurances, to stocking half a dozen fast food places with undocumented labor. And that's just private citizens, don't get me started on the government (We have a convicted felon in office..)

Edit: Here/s the kind of thing I'm talking about:.

This guy was out a busy intersection with a dog, and a sign that said he needed an operation, begged people to save him. A lot of people donated to save his dog

This went on for months. Until it was reported he was arrested after getting caught with a bag full of heroin.

Enough to make you lose faith in humanity (Even if it ironically proves a lot of kind hearted people exist out there.. which this scumbag probably made a little less nice.)

So did the CT population go down because people starved to death when the power went out some years back?

I get fast food/prepared foods the same as anyone, but it seems like some people live on that shite and wouldn't know how to prepare their own meals if their lives depended on it.

Live Free or Die Hard's Matt.

I don't even know who they're mocking with him, he's just a hodgepodge of every nerdy trope ever (Contrarian, conspiracy theorist, toy collector, clueless about music..

So your average westling fan, maybe?

)

Weather "Showers before dawn".

Me: "Awesome, dawns far away. Lets enjoy a cigar".

*Lights up, caught in showers*

They weren't wrong. I just didn't realize how far before dawn..

We're never getting an update on Megaman X.

We've got an anniversary Megaman collection sixth gen, a more recent hd remastering "Megaman Legacy Collection", two hd sequel games in Megaman 9 and 10..

And a single lousy collection of the X games, in glorious 240p. Looks great upscaled on an hdtv (Some scenes look like lego blocks, the way they're upconverted.)

Letting someone else decide where to eat.

They always pick the spots that either:

1. Have terrible food.

2. Have the worst people.

3. A combination of both, and you need to wait for seating (Not so much an issue minus 1 and 2

)

To be fair, this is also CT we're talking about.

Good spots to eat are literally like needles in a haystack here.

And sadly, even the good spots sometimes crumble.. My favorite pizza place started selling blackened cardboard some years back.

Btw, Bobby..

A guy on a scooter/motorbike, with his girlfriend in the back, zipped between a two lane traffic jam.

My first impulse was wishing I saw him coming, so I could knock him over the guardrail.

Does that make me a bad person?

When someone asks your age, then acts shocked that you're twice as old as they guessed. And they're not being polite, they mean it.

I dunno, I guess looking 20 when you're pushing 40 isn't a bad thing, but it sure doesn't feel like a good thing (Just reminds me I'll never see that age again..)
