My FIL is full of crazy dietary bullshit, that I could go on and on about, but my personal favorite is his contention that "regular" salt like Morton's actually doesn't provide any dietary benefit.  According to him the salt in that salt isn't really salt because it's "processed".  So I guess most of the population isn't getting enough salt in their diet because they are eating fake salt.

so he's "anti-iodine" eh?  Every nutjob finds their niche...

SIAP

Neighbors that don't retrieve their trash bins from the curb, on same day they were emptied.

This really pisses me off.

And of course, 2 of my neighbors are the offenders on my 8 house street.

Ours are emptied on Wednesdays, about 7:30a.....I'm looking outside, and their bins are still at the curb, blown over.....and 1 fucker just left, and had to avoid his to get out of his driveway.

I don't understand why people censor the faces of children. Wife showed me a post from our neighborhood's facebook group concerning a student ID found on the ground. They censored the kids entire face. How the hell are we supposed to help identify the child or the parents of the child if we can't see what they look like? Every single elementary kid looks exactly the same.

Does anyone recognize this man? He was walking near my house and I think he dropped something. Please help me identify this person

Hope he’s throwing back the skrimps so he doesn’t get a goiter.

It seems like every business wants you to take a survey these days. They hand you a receipt after circling the info to take survey and push this shit in you. Happened today at office max. Fuck off you fucking 

What pisses me off more than this?  Why do I have to hit an extra button to tell automated gas stations that I don't want a receipt?  Shouldnt default be to no and the weird people that say yes should go through more steps?  It's 2021...make paper pushers press extra buttons somehow, not regular people.

I got talked into adopting a cat.  

I've never seen anything like it before in my life.  I'm jumping through fewer hoops to refinance my house.  An effing home visit?  What do they expect to find?  A cat processing facility.  I actually had to answer the question, "Where is the cat going to sleep?"  Fuck if I know.  It's a cat.  I just had to call my vet to give them an ok to release our current pet's medical information.  I'm not trying to be a bitch and I get that some animals mistakenly get placed in shitty homes, but it's a rescue cat.  The fact that I'm probably going to have to pay $100+ should be enough of a qualification to let you know it's not going to be eaten.

 

I'd of said, "I know where its by god not going to sleep"

1) it arbitrarily shortens two words to sound cool but actually sounds stupid 2) it's actually harder to say/type than the real words 3) I get agitated easily at stooped things.  

It's a shortening of the words based on the spoken language of the region/history long before shortening words, and phrases was a thing. 

Old English naval terminology is filled with that kind of phrase.  Nothing arbitrary about it in my opinion.

My original response:  "So, if we say "y'all better axe somebody" for long enough, it's ok?  Axe is also a huge pet peeve.  No racist.".   

Then, I realized how hypocritical that statement was.  Either way, saying/typing/reading Nor'easter still annoys me.  

Not in my opinion because axe is not in any way shape or form ask or similar to the shortening of north to nor.  Axe is just poor grammar.

 

And it's totally fair if it bugs you. It's all personal choice. Having grown up on the east coast the term Nor'easter has a very special meaning to folks who've experienced it's fury.  Just ask the sailors on the Edmund Fitzgerald : ).

That also brings up, people who talk on speaker phones in the airport and talk on the phone on the driving range.  I think I am just surly this morning from being cooped up all weekend chasing a 14 month old.  

Yes to both of those any time other than in your own private space.

 I'll tell ya what would make me surly... chasing a 14 moth old around...

Actually no, I can't even begin to describe how much I miss growing up with my kids around.  It passes as quickly as anything you'll experience in life.

I was at the range on Saturday. A big group came in right ahead of me including a wife and daughter or girlfriend maybe. 

The ladies proceeded to sit right behind the range and talk the entire time. I kept myself from saying anything but at one point they were so audible I gave a nasty glance in their direction. I beleive the patriarch caught it and told them to keep it down. 

I mean, what the fuck are y'all doing? If you want to do that go to Top Golf. The range is not where you go to hang out and have a little social hour with the fam. Stay at home. Find something else to do. People are paying money to work on their game, not to hear you make incessant, meaningless small-talk for an hour. If it's you and a buddy and you're chatting a bit - or you are working with your kid then whatever - it can still be annoying but I'm not taking it THAT seriously. But if you aren't even hitting balls? Shut up or go home. I suck enough already.

Due to my suckyness/boredom/toughness of the course I play, I have a lesson once a week.  A few weeks ago a dude led an entire conference call while intermittently hitting a shot.  Then, last week, another dude just sat there and chatted on his ear buds while chilling on the range.  I think everyone should adopt AGC's rules.
