What pisses you off?

**406Refining** · 09-01-2018, 09:31 PM

1. Fraudulent buyers on Feebay, oops... I mean Takeallofyourprofitsandblameeverythingonyoubay. I know it's part of the game, but it still makes me mad every time it happens.
2. Having to pee when there is a line
3. When people won't let you buy something of value that they are throwing away at the dump
4. When that perfectly stacked pile of scrap in the shop somehow tips over
5. Getting a mountain of control boards tested and finding a random one in the corner
6. Taking something apart that I later find out was actually worth quite a bit in resale value

I use adblock also.

Can't say I recall last time I saw an add on my Facebook now that I think about it. Only ads I normally see are for pages I've liked. I'm going to check into the ones JJ posted I think. Some sites get around Adblock but they are rare for me.

Pisses me off? I answered this before, but now that I'm older, a tad bit wiser...When I think my cooler still has something it it, but then it turns out it doesn't. This makes me sad. Not sad enough to weep but close!

Also...Bacon not cooked properly. If you can't cook it right...DON"T COOK IT!

People who don't use turn signals. Then they get mad at you for looking at them like an idiot or not reading their minds for what they're going to do next.

People who don't realize...that you bright ass headlights might be helping you but their blinding me you idiot, cause I'm coming TOWARDS you.

/facepalm

I need more goats so they can eat the souls of the people who act stupid.

I would have very fat goats.

Sirscrapalot - You could rent this space, but I doubt you could afford it. It ain't cheap!

Sirscrapalot you are on the mark as always.

I miss Skylinejack and hope he is doing well...maybe he will post again someday.

Edited for content.

**Sirscrapalot** · 09-02-2018, 11:48 AM

Drop me a PM if you don't mind KZ. Jack is good people.

An I'm replying to a very old post with this one but..it reminded me of the song. It's a reply to a old 2015 post in this thread about old flags that KZ posted about.

Sirscrapalot - Rather proud of that ragged old flag. - Johnny Cash, Ragged Old Flag

The old lady was getting very pissed over 23 cents, the employees had no idea how to handle the situation and the lobby was filling up with pissed off customers.

Have you ever witnessed something like that and wanted to say something but didn't?

I don't remember exactly what I said but it was loud and went something like "Lady, I will pay for your f****** food if you will just make up your mind and get the f*** out of the way"

It was not my proudest moment but it I received a round of applause and cheers from the customers waiting in line and thank yous from the employees.

So I ended up pissing off 1 person and making about 30 people very happy.

You could have been nominated for Employee of the Month, and you don't even work there!

Denver traffic.

No one near me knows how to drive legally or even reasonably, or go the speed limit as in they go 10-15MPH BELOW the limit.

People camp out in the passing lane but don't pass anyone. I went around someone on I-225 recently that was in the passing lane doing 55 or slower. Speed limit is 65. Clearly marked several places. I got the idiot head shake as if I had done something wrong when I passed. I hadn't been tailgating either. I just went by normally.

People that don't know what to do at a stop sign after they stop. They will sit and wait at the stop sign, for minutes sometimes... waiting for you to get there instead of going when they have the right-of-way. I could see doing that if the car approaching was just flying or something but such is not the case almost ever. I feel as if they are waiting for everyone to arrive at 4 way stop signs so that everyone can get out and introduce themselves and ask each other how their day is going, where they were born etc... then politely decide who has the most urgent issue and who should go first while leaving their car doors open and cars running (lots of stolen cars from people that "puff" around here) "You go!", "Naw you go Margery, you've got perishable groceries and 2 hungry little dogs at home"

That said I try not to get uptight about things.

As much as I want to complain, the fact is that I live in the US and compared to what other people go through I dont have a dang thing to whine about. Well, millennials...but that goes without saying...

For me every time I want to piss and moan about something small I hope I remember your statement.

20 yrs in the USMC I have witnessed many places in the world much less nice(in my opinion) than I've had to contend with in the U.S. 73, Mike

I'm embarrassed to say this because it's so petty. If I go to get some gas for my truck and I can't pay at the pump, I will drive across the street to the other gas station instead of going inside and paying.

Spoiled and lazy, I know.

And a little funny. I will pay a few pennies more per gallon if its more convenient to get in and our of a gas station. Mike

Related to that...after done pumping and it says, "see cashier for receipt"...kind defeats the purpose. I quit going in and *****in and just take a pic now.

People who complain about being bullied on facebook. Isn't there an off button or something that only lets in the folks you want to communicate with??

Ameateur radio, its easy to talk with folks from around the world and I've never been bullied, licensed since 1994. 73, Mike

My thoughts on -

Colorado/Denver Traffic and driving Antics - Haha. You got a bunch of stoners. Hence the driving slow, waiting for STOP SIGNS to change from red to green, trying to remember where you put drive, figure out the blinky light in the corner of your gauges..I tease, calm down any offended stoners out there. No need to put down the edibles an bongs. Just a joke.

Paying at the pump - I never do it if I can help it. Cash discount exists at a lot of places on the sandbar. Combine that with whatever savings card for whatever gas station an your talking 5 to 8 cent s a gallon saved. Those kind of savings may not be great for others, but for me...I'll take it.

Living in America and other places having it worse - I'm upset your NOT upset over something. Your welcome. I'm helping ya out.

Seriously though...if you can't cook bacon don't. Empty coolers upset me, and people who lack the ability to use a simple thing like a turn signal...may not really piss me off, it does make me question where people work to be so lazy/stupid or if it comes naturally. I do this while also donating to various causes. Make me feel better about *****ing about the above.

The above post is made in jest, take nothing serious in it, except the part about bacon, coolers, and turn signals.

Thank you.

Sirscrapalot - Dear PA, the majority of you need to retake a freaking driving test.

People get a little distracted behind the wheel here too. This guy is from Denver I think.

Indecisive people.
You have 2 choices. Pick one and git a gitten.
If you've never heard that before it basically means s**t or git off the pot. A favorite saying of my grandmother.

**greytruck** · 12-03-2018, 11:36 AM

Youtubers who join SMF just to promote their stupid youtube videos for views / advertisment $$$$ and contribute nothing else to the forum. I know youtube went to crap on the pay out from ads but anyways....

There is 1 youtuber hear that actually joins in on the conversations.... Im not naming names....

Rant over... been holding that back on this issue for awhile now. Beg my pard.

Mike ... if you're ever vacationing in Maine ... the welcome mat is out.

We're a full serve station and make every effort to do a good job for our customers.

Torrential downpours, bitter winter cold, blazing summer heat ... you never have to get out of your car.

Cash, credit cards, debit cards, personal checks, store charges, and up to 50.00 $ in rolled up coin ... not a problem.

We bang em' through the station just as quickly as we possibly can so that they can get on with their busy day.

Only got two dollars and twenty three cents in pennies for gas so that you can get to work ... No problem ... you get treated with the same dignity and respect as the guy that rolls up in his brand new Land Rover and buys fifty dollars worth with his platinum credit card that has a twenty thousand dollar limit.

Need a cash receipt for taxes ? Not a problem ... coming right up !

True enough ... we are a little more per gallon but we're the only game in town. All of the other gas stations in town closed their doors ages ago.

========================

Things that piss me off .... bonehead company managers.

That @#$^%%& bean counter up in the office pulled our "Port A Potty" the other day because it costs more to rent it in the wintertime. Ummm ... hello .... we are out here 10 - 12 hours a day with no scheduled work breaks. Where do you propose that we go to the bathroom ?

They caught a bit of wrath on that one. I was sorely tempted to go pee on his tires.

You know what they say about big wheels and little dogs.

1: The ENTIRE length of 95 being under construction in Maryland
2: New Jersey's idiot governor
3. An empty bottle of bourbon
4. Many duplicates of what you have on your lists.
5. That eating bacon gives me the screaming loosies every time I eat it cause I had my gall bladder out
6. Oh... and Hugh Jackman!!

**mike1** · 12-04-2018, 02:54 PM

when someone puts metal out for you like a dehumidifyer and 2 chairs and they dont call you and they ask you if you got the stuff we put out for you and i said no. my mom saw a truck with crap in it and that must have been the person who stole my metal araaagh. when i found out i felt like destroying and hitting something non living of course=) i did get a dryer today yay. so that helped.
