People walk by me on the street hear me openly cursing at it. Some people seem concerned, but it’s too damn windy for me to care.

I ordered some things from Petco to pick up on store, and the email said the store opened at 9:00 a.m. it doesn't open until 11:00 a.m. how come they can know what's on the shelf, but they can't know what time the door opens?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

All the dipshits around me have had companies come out to spray poison all over their lawns in the last week or two. I really don't get how this is a thing.

I passed no fewer than three pest control vehicles today with some variation on camouflage and cross-hair imagery wrapped all over their vehicles and thought of this post.

How my bank charges a $5 service fee only when my checking account balance falls under $500. So, like, if you're broke you get charged but if you have money you're good, it's on us. WTF. Should be opposite.
