Things I Hate

Yakster

Yes, I was at a coffee shop's open house and they were doing a sensory analysis of some coffee they'd roasted but the strong, pleasant orange air fragrance sent from the nearby bathroom was throwing everyone off.

Don't try those big blue mints. They taste awful!

People stealing my gas cap

I hate when work IT people have to fix $h!t that isn't broken.
And when they fix it, it doesn't work anymore
And how do the nimrods get paid to "fix" things by breaking them abd mechanics have to actually make things work?

Having to type with only my let hand. Of course, there are some things that are more difficult, glad the toilet paper shortage is over.

I wish we would run out of dips...

Being on a diet.

I have to lose weight. I got fat. But damnit I want a beer. I don't diet on weekends. If I can't have a few and a steak on a weekend what's the point anyways.

Why do all my hobbies have to be things that are terrible for me.

Yakster

Coffee, no milk, no sugar, no adjuncts, no calories. It does contain a powerful, addictive drug, however.

Yakster

When you're home alone stuck on a work conference call and can't come to the door to accept a UPS package with cigars because CA requires adult signatures for tobacco deliveries now.

silvermouse

Priorities! Just say BRB.

Yakster

Clogged shower drains that thwart the normal methods of removing hair clogs. Man, I had to pee in the toilet this morning, this is really ruining my day.

If the baking soda and vinegar don't work I'm going to have to dig out the big snake.

I thought you said you'd already peed?

In a related matter I pulled what looked like a blonde wookie fetus out of my drain the other day. I think it growled and tried to bite me.

I can't understand how my wife sheds so much hair and isn't bald.

Right?
I asked my wife if women shed.
She asked why I would ask that.
I told her to go look in the shower.
It had hair everywhere.

Yakster

I found my 25' x 1/4" drum auger and managed to navigate several corners and played out about 20' of snake before I was able to break the clog and reel in a rat sized hairball.

Shower's working fine now, but I missed out on a family lunch date.

silvermouse

Ah, the triumph of hair ball removal. Now you know how the cat feels.

Amos_Umwhat

Had to have one of my cats put to sleep this morning. He had a fungal pneumonia. The vet says the treatment for it almost never works, would probably require a feeding tube and simply prolong the agony for a few weeks/months. I said I'd seen enough of that kind of "care" in humans while I was working in ICU for years.

Apparently the mild winter and wet spring has caused certain fungi to get out of hand.

silvermouse

Sorry for your loss. I know it was a tough decision to have to make.

peter4jc

That's too bad, Steve.

ForMud

Sounds like you did the right thing......Still a hard thing to do.

deadman

Sorry Steve
