You know what grinds my gears? part III : Othor Games

Bugs! I went it the bathroom earlier and was peeing for about 1 second then saw a big bug on top of the mirror and screamed then yelled "THERE'S A BUG IN HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :swear:" and pulled up my pants and ran out of there as fast as possible.... I didn't even finish peeing..... :laugh:

If I had to choose how the world would end, I would choose to get rid of all the bugs on earth. Even though the ecosystem would fall apart and the planet would no longer support life it would be the most relaxing apocalypse ever. Finally I could relax outside during summer without getting eaten up by mosquitoes! No more having to clean the dead bugs out of the pool! No more fear of leaving the door open for too long! Best. apocalypse. ever.

I would say that contractors in general piss me off. I have NEVER had a good experience with a contractor. Each and every time it has lead to shoddy work that has to be redone. We had some guys come in to do our kitchen and hardwood floors. My dad and I could have done this, we both know what we are doing when it comes to that kind of stuff, but we also both have jobs that take up our time. We ended up having to redo some of the cabinetry and railings, and have a hardwood floor with gaps in it that we haven't got around to fixing.

Then there was the balcony guys, the concrete guys, the guys that spray our fruit trees ( or rather the side of the tree facing the gate cause they don't walk around behind it.), the designer for the kitchen that ordered things we didnt ask for then expected us to pay for, the same designer who packed up shop and left the province halfway through the job without planning on telling us, the list goes on and on.

What makes it worse is when you pay to have it doen to save you the time, and have to spend your free time fixing it all anyway...

Which is why I ultimately resort to doing everything myself. I needed a bung welded onto my turbo manifold for my car, took the shop 3 months to weld a 2" long 1 1/4" piece of pipe onto my manifold. So, I bought a welder to do things myself. I hired an electrician to redo the service in my house. Asked him to run four new spare circuits to the basemant for future expansions. He ran two. I ran 6 others because he just didn't do a good enough job.

I'm right there with ya'.. the bug is still (hiding) in the bathroom so I'm checking in there every so often.... :shakehead:

-People who act nice but are really [censored]s.

This is a big one for me, I hate two-faced people.

Probably the thing that annoys me the most (recently, anyway) is when someone makes a "joke" that is actually a personal insult. My father has been doing this to my brother quite often, and because my brother isn't the type of person to really speak up for himself against our parents, I'm left defending him.

Or when someone turns a small argument into something much larger by bringing some old disagreement up, my father also does this, just about everything he does is pretty rude, come to speak of it.

You stopped mid-stream? :blink:

Damn, that must've been one hell of a bug, I usually just stand there staring at the thing with horror in my eyes, trying to pee faster

_{How do WASPS take a pee in the shower?}

Spoiler

they step out of the shower, walk to the toilet, and take a pee.

'kay, done now

Most Americans, of English heritage could be defined as a WASP. But I'm talking about the WASPs that have millions/billions of dollars, that they didn't even make themselves, and basically come from "old" money. WASPs like that just tick me off SO bad. The reason why, was because there was this documentary about social classes I was watching, and it had an inside look on WASP society. And holy [censored], were they ignorant pieces of [censored]. I mean, this one guy they kept interviewing, actually contradicted himself by saying that coming from his point of view, the people he surrounded himself with were kind and generous people; even though he called us working class people lowly and sick people. :facepalm: :banghead: Those are the kind of WASPs I just down right hate.

That's why God created the button-fly my friend.

Yeah, button fly is the only fly for me, I've had a zipper accident once and I make sure it never happens again...I rarely wear pants anyway.

EDIT: I had a good joke regarding the button-fly and the bible, but I decided not to go there

there should be a thread for this: "Things you want PMed that the moderators would ban you for posting."
^{hey, it was only a suggestion. It's not like anyone actually takes my ideas seriously around here. No one jumped on my 'fried herring and strawberry jam' combo either..}

Quiet old man, or we'll put you in the room with white padded walls.

And to be honest I hope no one ever has to jump on 'fried herring and strawberry jam', I'd rather eat it.
Jump on it? Dr. Strangelove might be on to something with you.

You can't say for sure that they know nothing about it because as Einstein said e=mc² and we know that each person's brain emits theta-waves and quantum theory says that...

Ah [censored] it I just svck at failing at science. :shakehead:
