Out here in California many smaller highways have signs saying slower traffic keep right. If you have a stack of cars and trucks behind you and no one for a mile ahead...THIS MEANS YOU!
Stop being an oblivious bag of douche. Speed up or get the hell outta my way. Some of us have places to be.

Here's another one. When going to a fast food place like McD or BK, why do people wait until standing at the register to decide what to order? Aside from the fact that the bulk of their menu hasn't changed in 157 years you can see the freaking menu from the back of the line!!! Hell, chances are you're gonna order the same as last time anyway.

Don't point at the paper tray on the printer, add a stack of paper, and tell me you want a copy of what you have laying on the glass and then yell at me when the "copy" didn't magically appear on your monitor. You knew damn well you wanted something scanned to a specific folder on your computer. Grrr.
There's this amazing new cutting edge technology! It's called cruise control. It helps make you much less annoying to drive behind. I realize that it's more fun to stagger between 45 and 80 miles an hour while looking around and pointing at...everything but seriously.

When i lived up north assholes didn't stop dead, then put their left signal on, and then turn left!
In Florida such assholes are everywhere.

Que paso Huck?
Today's gripe. Well, it's one of them anyway.
For the last 2 years my company has been on a "streamline and boost productivity" kick. They've made a fuck ton of "improvements". Not a single one I can think of has done anything but slow us actual worker types down. They complain about productivity. They have graphs and charts for everything. They have goals and quotas for us that keep increasing. Why can't they understand that I'd get more done if they left me the fuck alone?
I think the ties all the upper management suit types wear cut off circulation to the brain.

Example. New supper ultra doppler mega dispatch program. I get a hurry, go somewhere different it's an emergency. Spent 10 minutes pulled on the shoulder of the highway trying to get the program to let me reroute. Later got a phone call from the boss telling me I'm not using it right and I somehow put myself on 2 different jobs at the same time (supposedly not possible).
Talk about productivity! No one else Is doing 2 jobs at once.
I told him if they didn't give me 14 hours of driving and work to do I could spend more time making the stupid program work. He said I could come into the office and do the training again. I wonder which 3 emergencies he wants me to ignore to make that happen.
sorry. My frustration is showing a bit too much

Holy crap, Ace. We MUST work for the same suits somewhere along the line.
Rocket, I got into it with my boss over some real bullshit that went down last week. I got grilled, told how I felt about the whole deal and stood my ground, albeit, somewhat forcefully. I was convinced I'd get suspended or fired like 2 other chicks did. Trying to give me a line that I have great influence over people that work there and they needed me to calm down so all the chatter of the employees would stop. All I did was tell people the truth about the events!! and told her so. Today we worked it out, though I told her I still felt the way I felt. She seemed understanding to my feelings, shared them to some degree... comes down to the suits in the offices ofPeople That Don't Know Shit About How to Run This Place Powers That Be.

Im pissed off I had to wait so long for Doctor Who to come back on!!! Almost there!!!!!!!
This may deserve it's own thread.. but whatever... I'm fucking livid with zamplebox.com right now. I tried their gold service for shits and giggles. Box 1, meh there's a couple of good flavors, next month might be better I thought... Box 2: 5/7 bottles repeats of things that I've already tried and mostly disliked from the first box. I complain, they send me three new bottles of equally shitty juice. I thought I may give them one more chance... then decided against it at the last moment. They've recently switched to a new site. So as I was trying to cancel my subscription last night and I couldn't find the CANCEL FUCKING SUBSCRIPTION... you know why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO CANCEL BUTTON ON THE NEW SITE! In order to cancel the service you have to send an email or call them. I sent an email at 1am this morning, knowing that my box was slated to be sent out today... No reply. Box sent. $58 charged. That made me one pissed off MoFo. Where's the fucking button? Why the fuck do people have to jump through hoops to cancel now? Fucking bad business practice. I may have one day revisited them, but not now... NO MOTHERFUCKING WAY. I've already fired off an email to tell them about it too... grrrrrrrrrr lol.

Sorry MoFo, I tried dripclub for a bit and had pretty descent luck with them, the one reason I didn't try zample, is because you have to go to the gold in order to receive the better juices, each level had its own vendors. I dropped dripclub after the second month, and realized that they fill bottles to the 10ml mark on certain samples, and those samples I got when filled by them, were nasty as hell...tasted like they went bad, I wonder how long their large bottles sat on the shelf before they filled my subscription....I dropped the idea of a subscription service, glad I did. I like sampling new flavors, but for the money, my choices have been proving to taste better than theirs.
Are you implying that he's old and crotchety? lol...

Oh, I like this thread!! Let me play too!
My current gripe is technology. Is it is so wrong of me to want the crap I buy to work like it does on the happy shiny videos? You know, that beautiful world with beautiful smiling productive people where everything is compatible, works seamlessly out of the box, wireless ranges are as advertised, wireless signals NEVER cause interference to other devices, and no one has seen or even heard of a cable nest? No matter what clever reorganizing I do, my desk is a morass of cables and tech flotsam and jetsam..... and while we're at it, I live in an older place where there's so few outlets I have a complex nexus of powerbars and extension cords that would keep a fire marshall awake nights. My dream home doesn't involve swimming pools, bonus rooms or turrets...... it's a functional intelligent place wired for EVERYTHING with BANKS of power outlets in each room on different breakers where my lights don't brown out if my neighbor turns on her washing machine and breakers don't flip if (heaven forbid!) we both try to use our microwave at the same time. *takes a deep breath*
Thanks for this thread, @Ace..... that was downright therapeutic LOL

lol my bedroom in the old farmhouse i used to live in had no wall outlets. so i had one of those multi plug- in thingies in the ceiling light and extension cords draped everywhere from the ceiling. it was like jumping rope just to walk around in there!
Careful. Gotta watch the amp limit
