    I have a pair of work pants that has the front permanently sewed shut because the zipper broke and I lost the button. So I have to find a enclosed stall because I have to pull my pants completely down.

    Another thing that grinds my gears- Smart phones that have the "Do not disturb" app or some other selective ring mode. What happens is that the owner of the phone forgets that it's in DND mode or they inadvertently activate it. Then when they call or text me they aren't even aware that I am either trying to call them back or text them back so they text and call me several times thinking that I am ignoring them when I am really playing phone tag.

    When my step dad takes the plow truck out, and immediately buries it in a friends driveway.

    The phone call went like this " Is the truck in 4 wheel drive?"
    Me, "Stop what you are doing, i will come do it"

    Dont underestimate how little some people can understand situations

    You see a computer tower full of finger cards in a "trash" pile, but the "trash" has one of those stupid donation stickers on the side of it. Happened to me tonight.
