What annoys you? (1 Viewer)

When you set a mouse trap, then don't catch anything for so long you forget about it until you do finally catch something and it pops in the summer heat, starts leaking, and stinks.

I've been trying to figure out what that smell was for a couple days now. I did check one trap, but forgot there was another. Bleah!

At least you didn't use rat poison where they crawl in the walls and die.

Well the work schedule doesn't help, been second shift for almost 12 years now, but when working hours are extended from 6 PM to 6 AM for a few weeks for special jobs. It just takes longer to get back into a normal routine. Honestly it's like I'm back on active duty in the Navy,operating on 3-4 hours "rest " a day.

Did catch an episode of Mannix that I haven't seen, so that was a bonus.

Also it's not all bad I've been really busy with that extra time let's see cleaned out my garage I straightened up my shed I replace the internals on a toilet. You know at least times not going to waste.

No one to disturb or distract you at 3 in the morning.

Seriously, my eye is twitching like Chief Inspector Dreyfus right now.

I’m annoyed by how many people say the Shawshank Redemption is a good movie. I’ve literally never made it more than 15 minutes in before falling asleep. I actually looked it up on Wikipedia once just to see what happened because by the time Tim Robbins gets to prison, I’m snoring. Every. Time.

And some people are gatekeepers about such things, insinuating (seemingly) that you're not the true movie fan if you don't enjoy what they enjoy, or dislike what they dislike (not realizing [or even caring] that they are allowed to enjoy it as much as they want, or even dislike it for themselves).

I spent years hearing "You've never seen The Shawshank Redemption?! You have to see it!" and when I finally did, I thought it was a decent enough movie but I just laugh that it's even on the IMDB's Top 250- let alone at the top of the list. Frank Darabont did get a bunch of really great character actors for the supporting parts in the movie though.

You people need to be put in an Arkansas prison.

I really like the film, but do agree that it’s a tad overrated. Certainly doesn’t deserve to be ahead of The Godfather on the IMDB list.

To quote The Notorious Cherry Bombs, “If a tree fell in the forest and she didn’t hear it, would I still be wrong?”

If she’s there to answer the question, of course the answer is yes.

Beginning to make all the sense in the world now... Right, @JohnRice?

Is usually tell it like this: If a husband speaks in the forest, and his wife does not hear him, is he still wrong?

You, me... and apparently, my brother too now...

Ah well... live and learn... and make the most of the hand we're dealt me thinks... Cheers!

PS: I just finally got around to watching (most of) Ted Lasso: S1, and those couple late-middle episodes really choked me up...

More adventures with the company truck/trailers- this is the 3rd shop visit in a week dealing with maintenance, and the logging computer still doesn’t work. Feeling hopeless about the job now. I had almost a 5 hour wait on Monday for a trailer that should have been fixed while it wasn’t in our dedicated run. If I don’t fix it, it doesn’t get fixed. One of the dumb and infuriating things about the trucking industry- maintenance isn’t a high priority.

That's scary when you think about it, what with all the trucks on the highways.

The laziness of delivery drivers, especially on Saturdays. Had it with both FedEx and UPS in the last couple of months.

In July, FedEx delivered a really small package on a Saturday while we were out of town. They dropped it on the third step going up to the front porch. Just two more steps and they could have placed it next to the door. Fortunately it didn't rain while we were gone, otherwise that package would have been ruined.

Yesterday (also a Saturday), UPS delivered a package while I was at my parents' for dinner. They dropped the box right in front of my garage door. So when I got home, I had to stop in the driveway, get out, move the box, get back in the car, and pull in. Again, just a step or two to their left and they could have placed it in between the two garage doors. If I had been home, I might have run over the package when I left.

Last Tuesday, returning from my volunteering at Banting House, I was greeted with two delivered packages outside our apartment door, which the Mrs was there to receive. Ever since the start of the pandemic, we're lucky if they even bloody well knock anymore!
