Stupid Pet Peeves

Had a big night on the brew last night, topped it off with an argument with my ex. Missed the train to work and i feel like death. Gonna be a real long day.

I went to the pool today to swim laps and heard the lifeguard yell at a family that they are not allowed to hold their breath underwater. I asked the lifeguard about it and he pointed to a few signs on the wall that sure enough said no holding your breath underwater.

I guess some dumbass was doing some breathing exercises at the pool seeing how long he could stay under and he drowned. I call that natural selection. Shouldn't ruin swimming for everyone else.

I can’t imagine someone died doing that. I’ve held mine for as long as 1:15 (solid but nothing special) but when I do it I just lay limp and relaxed in the pool, near the bottom of the shallow end. I could see a lifeguard thinking I drowned and diving in to “save me.” And it’s a waste of their time and concerns.

Last summer I swam about 150 feet under water. Was pretty awesome. Maybe more like 130. Tough to know exactly unless I busted a tape measure out.
 
I love swimming and spend as much time under the water as above water. I go to this pool at least once a week in winter and even more in summer and am always laying on the bottom and whatever and never had any one say anything so maybe this is the only lifeguard that actually enforces the rule.
So lame. Hard to have fun at the pool if you aren't allowed to spend extended periods of time under the surface.

I saw a snorkel guide in Cozumel Mexico stay under water for probably 10 minutes. He was down for about 5 minutes swimming around and lifting up rocks and **** and then he had some tube that he had captured a small air pocket with and he breathed that in and then stayed down like another 5 minutes.
I was amazed. Great snorkeling too.

Don’t you guys know you’re supposed to change the batteries between sessions of General Conference? Sit the family down to watch Saturday morning session. While the wife makes lunch between sessions, you change the batteries in all your smoke detectors. After lunch, you all sit down to watch the afternoon session. Come on guys!

Usually I'm too busy running out to buy more beer.
 
When you get woken on the train so they can look at your pass, which is displayed on your chest and plainly visible.
 
I get irrationally upset when store receipts are unnecessarily long. There is a grocery story chain where I live (Weis Markets), which gives an ~18 inch long receipt even if you only buy a gallon of milk.
Drives me CrAzY! It is literally a deciding factor for me when selecting which store to stop at if I am just picking up something on my way home from work.

Thats because you're a horrible person.


I just paid a fortune to see an ordinary gig, which was supremely disappointing, however i did find out that a very good friend of mine is on shift as a junior nurse tomorrow, so I can make her life hell for fun for a bit.
