Stupid Pet Peeves

Three pet peeves that have reared their ugly heads for me today:
1. Yapping dogs. Holy ****, this one needs to eat a bullet.
2. Swamp coolers. Worthless pieces of ****.
3. Sweat dripping down into my *** crack.

You should caulk your *** right in the crack. Then the sweat will just roll off.
 
I'm helping out two of the cleaners at work and their neighbour with body corporate issues, the shifty ******** are trying to take advantage of them cause they know they have limited English and they also know that the other owners of the property don't give a **** due to their ability to write all bills off on tax. So in this space they are helping themselves to a small fortune, trying to charge double and triple the price for works i'm sure they're getting a handy backhander off. I thought it would be the right thing to do to help out but its almost like having a job, writing letters, dealing with solicitors, preparing documents, hell I don't even put this much effort into organising my own life. Bah! I gotta do my taxes...
 
Did it make you "excited"?

Oh wow! Do we really want to go down this rabbit hole? OF COURSE WE DO! Well biggy i like a sweaty crack as much much as the next red blooded man but to be properly excited i would really need photos at least, video would be better. And i can't stress this enough even amateur video can be improved with a quality selection of props...
 
Just say walmart. I can't even tell you the last time I successfully made a purchase there. I have tried but it never works out. I feel like the crying Native American from the old psa's everytime I walk in there, except way more materialistic, pissed off, less emvironmentalist, and no actual tears. So it's nothing like that but the imagery works kinda but not really. Anyway...

I try to navigate through the chaos of garbage that they call product, beyond the herds of assholes in fuschia sweat pants to find the one piece of junk that I don't really need and if I make it, I have usually given up by now, I surely will run into the bottleneck described in your post.

The end result is always the same. "**** this" ,I drop ******** junk where I stand, give everyone the evil eye, march out murmuring, disappointed, angry, hoping that some decrepit old man will ask for a receipt for the **** that wasn't worth buying so that I can tell him to go **** himself so that I can release some aggression before I get behind the wheel. Regardless I will probably scream the whole way home either to some metal album, likely slayer or devildriver, or just simply scream like some mal-adjusted terrier with tourette syndrome.

When I get home my wife will ask if I got what I was after, knowing with certainty that I did not but rather left in a rage. "**** No!" I will reply followed by a 10-15 minute rant about how much I ****ing hate shopping especially at WM(during which she will politely try not to laugh).

For some reason a year or so later I will think that it will be OK. I will try again but the result will be the same.

Srsly I holy ****ing monkey balls dog ****ing *** pounding hate walmart.

The opposite of a pet peeve: WalMart Grocery Pick-up

Due to the fact that I can no longer rely upon being able to walk around a big store (and my reluctance to use motorized carts because I'm stupidly proud), I tried the relatively new WalMart Grocery Pick-up. It is a free service with only a $30 minimum order required. I just order what I want online and they do all the shopping for me. I drive up to the side of the store the next day (or whatever time I reserve) and they load it into my trunk. It has been a lifesaver. I've used it about 8 or 9 times now and I haven't had any problems at all. It's perfect, and it has the added benefit of no impulse buying. I'm sure there is a great sale here and there that I miss, but that's not a deal breaker.

And whenever I need a bigger ticket item, I still just order online and pick it up at the front of the store. It saves me a lot of money from no impulse buying.

I don't miss the craziness of shopping at WalMart, and I still get my stuff cheap.

And speaking of WalMart craziness, a guy I know had a young woman visiting him from somewhere in Europe while she was on her first trip to the U.S. He asked her what she wanted to do while she was here, and her top choice was to go to WalMart at midnight to see all the crazies. Apparently she must think every WalMart is like "People of WalMart" every single day.

Edit: I have a deja vu feeling that I've typed a similar post before. If I have, just laugh and be glad you have a better memory than I do.
 
When people hog the whole self-serve soda dispensing machine (you know, the kind with ~6 sodas side by side) so you have to wait for them to be done instead of getting your (different) soda or water at the same time.
 
Downtown Smith's just pulled this ****!

I wonder if they have a serious debate. Like one guy is in the room saying "We did this 3 years ago. We cannot do this again right now. Ms. Wayneright still mentions it every time she comes in. We can't do this again until after she dies."

**** Mrs. Wayneright.


Seriously, that's a good time.
 
364 days a year all I hear is bitching from the wife about how much I work. I decide to take the state holiday off, I get bitched at by the wife. **** you bitch.

I'm now at work.
