Re: Things you have an irrational hatred of
This is totally rational, but I have nowhere else to post this.
I went to a gas station today. Ten or so pumps were all full and cars were lined up, so I got behind a pick-up truck. No one was at the pump, so I figured he was inside paying. I sat there for 10 minutes and no one came out of the store, and eventually a pump next to the truck opened up.
I backed up and drove around the pumps, so I could get to the open pump on the correct side. Somehow I made it without someone stealing the spot. I start pumping and look up, and that mother fucker in the truck was just sitting in his cab talking on his phone. When I finished pumping my gas, people were lining up again, and he was STILL sitting in his cab talking on the phone.
I never wanted to drag a person from their car and pummel them so badly in my life.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Re: Things you have an irrational hatred of
Have you ever pulled up to an empty spot, went to swipe your card, and some dude in a vehicle on the other side frantically run up to you saying "wait wait! I just paid and I'm about to use this pump on the other side!" ?B wrote:This is totally rational, but I have nowhere else to post this.

I wanted to hate the dude for being that inconsiderate, but then I realized that he was just a dipshit who forgot which side his gas tank was and decided to die on that hill instead of move his car and probably lose a place in line. I kind of forgive him for that.

Re: Things you have an irrational hatred of
I hate posting sometimes. I was just trying to make a post about how it's hot outside this weekend and I was outside a lot today and that I might go to the movies tomorrow. But I couldn't get the wording right and then I started trying to decide between commas or parentheses or dashes. It was a simple post. But I gave up on it. Writing is too much trouble sometimes

Little voice to text snafu there.

voice-to-text mishaps are probably up there on the cheugy scale, I'd reckon. Like the text version of "dad thumb" in a photo.
