I hate those things. Just brew a pot of coffee

Pots make a hotter cup, too.

And then Keurig got greedy and set up an infra red drm system, to lock out anything without their special labels. I won't be buying another, that's for sure.

People that hum obnoxiously loud in a public place.

The dmv.

Not sure who to blame for AAA choosing to do away with renewals for the public. They did get subsidy's, but seemed to want to have their cake and eat it by only serving members.

So, failed power play?

I have to say, the NJ DMV is actually pretty efficient - maybe the only thing in this state that is

The people themselves aren't bad. They're just unlucky enough to work in the busiest office in the state, without nearly enough staff to support them.

I actually felt bad for the guy at the head of the line waiting at the desk for thirty minutes, without anyone coming. And he was way ahead of me! But for some reason the thought of twiddling my thumbs with the entire line burning a hole in the back of my head seems worse then mixing with the herd..

Non-famous people who put in their Twitter bio - "All thoughts are my own." As if they have somebody tweeting on their behalf and wouldn't want us to be confused or their views misrepresented.

BobbyR · « **Reply #2131 on:** April 11, 2018, 06:56:39 PM »

Hell famous people who do that are annoying as well

My Instagram does say "All photos by me" but I don't think that's the same

The only ones I understand saying that are newsfolks.

BlackLight · « **Reply #2133 on:** April 13, 2018, 07:15:50 PM »

People who spell "dammit" as "damnit."

"You don't mess with Jim."

Always felt what happened to Jim wasn't any more justice then a Crip or Blood killing a rival drug dealer.

Except, pool hustling is way less destructive then drugs.. Only ones who get hurt are people fool enough to bet all their money on a "sure thing"..

When you're dieting, and you're at that point between belt notch's where it's either too loose, or too tight.

Wish there was something that worked like suspenders, without the straps.

A bunch of people waiting for the elevator, and they're waiting to go up, and you're looking to travel down, but those people are all crowded around the elevator buttons on the wall so you have to get them all to move so you can push the button.

Screw that I say excuse me or just push them out of the way.

I usually just take the stairs, in that case. Beats waiting around.

BlackLight · « **Reply #2139 on:** April 24, 2018, 12:47:09 PM »

And I know this observation has been made for decades, but I'm starting to get annoyed when people press the elevator call button when it's already lit. And then keep pressing it if they feel like they've been waiting for too long.

I have a blown out knee. Stairs aren't an option unless it's one flight up or down. I work on the 11th floor.

Some kid kept doing that, and actually called the elevator back before anyone could step out.

People do that here too. Thing is, the open/close buttons inside the elevator actually work, so they think they all do.

What they don't realize is that we have 5 elevators servicing our building, and Security turns 4 of them off except at busy times. No amount of button mashing is going to help.

When people use some aspect of their identity (ethnicity, religion, gender, etc.) to jokingly (but not really jokingly) justify behaving badly.

The ban on the term "best friend."

So what is this, a half baked attempt to tackle student suicides?

Parents have been suing schools over them, on the grounds they didn't do something to prevent it. I can't see this as anything but a way to say "Here is something' the next time s grieving parent gets latched on to by an exploitative lawyer.

Seems like money isn't the root of all evil. Lawyers are... A war between the Slippin' Jimmies and the administrators, with all of us being caught in the middle.

In a slightly less neurotic note (I think...), I hate how there's almost always someone to catch you with your pants down.

I mean that literally. Your pants start drooping a bit in the parking lot, there's someone right there waiting in the car laughing at it.

Oh, I have belts. My diet is working, is the problem.

Snug fits become a bit too loose, while the next notch down isn't quite loose enough.

...plus, I have the Hank Hill build. All gut, no butt.

BlackLight · « **Reply #2149 on:** April 28, 2018, 02:05:16 PM »

Wear the belt too tight. Convince yourself you're still fat. Use that as extra motivation to Stay On The Path.
