  1. Why the fuck does every smartphone camera rotate my photos when it thinks I'm "too close" to the photo's subject? So tired of having to manually rotate the pics to where they were when I took the pic. Motherfucker, I took the pic as the distance I desired, your job is to just record the image. So dumb, there is no justifiable reason for this.

    Sometime around 2008 or so I was traveling through Duluth, Minnesota and encountered a fairly prominent coffee chain in the area named Beaners.  I was stunned that I was seeing it and quite surprised that was accepted in the area.  Read a few years back they changed the name,  which made sense.

    I can remember as a kid in the 70's, living in California and eating breakfast at Sambo's. As far as I knew, that name meant "Awesome Pancakes".

    Filling out forms online and it asks which country I'm from or located and United States isn't at the very top of the drop down list of options.
     

    People who fill out government forms that ask for your county of residence and they put "USA" because fuck reading, I guess. 

  4. I'm gonna use my list from last year and maybe change one or two. Manufacturing runs instead of trying to hit bombs:

    1. Gene Hackman

    2. Pope Ben 16

    3. Clint Eastwood

    4. Willie Nelson

    5. Mel Brooks

    6. Dick Van Dyke

    7. Gene Shalit

    8. Willie Mays

    9. Jimmy Carter

    10. Demi Lovato

    I made a reservation at top golf last night, going there on saturday. I just got an email to confirm. well, no shit I plan on being there. I paid a fucking deposit. Why are these places so fucking desperate to "confirm"? 

    UPDATE: 90 mins before my booking, top golf texted me to see if I wanted to sign in all my players now. Fuck off.

  6. Why do I have to "confirm" every fucking thing I'm doing these days? I make a Drs appointment, they text me to confirm like 2-3 days before I'm supposed to be there. What if I have something come up the night before? I made a reservation at top golf last night, going there on saturday. I just got an email to confirm. well, no shit I plan on being there. I paid a fucking deposit. Why are these places so fucking desperate to "confirm"? 

  7. I'm working from home this week, so I'm in the study on the phone. Wife comes in, I think to say bye before she leaves for work. As I'm talking on the phone, she whispers/mouths something and tries to stick her phone near my face. I can only see her out of the corner of my eye, so as I'm talking and typing, I look over and give her a WTF look. She mumbles something and stomps away. My call ended soon after and I go to catch her before she left. I did, and she says "I was just saying that a package is supposed to be delivered today".   WHO GIVES A SHIT???, I said in my head. 

    Here's a text update:

  8. Stayed up way too late the last few days. Combined that with eating like shit and boom...I was up all night with a case of the runs. Finally tapered off around 3:30 AM. Praying I can get to sleep before 11 tonight. 

  9. Two things that hit close to home:

    1. The first brand new car my dad ever bought was a 1978 Pinto 3-door wagon. It ran like a top with zero issues and he got rid of it in 1986. This anti-Pinto aggression will not stand, man.

    2. I saw KISS in 1996, original line-up, the Alive II stage set, only played songs from 1972-1979. It was bad ass and I too would drive 100 MPH through a checkpoint to relive those memories.

  10. We did our meal with my side of the family last night. My sister didn't want to cook, so my dad chose Saltgrass. Neither of my sister's kids came, which was fine with me. Her son is ok, just a huge loser. Her daughter is a bipolar shithead that I haven't seen for years and I'm in no hurry to change that. The only drama now is my son-in-law and my future son-in-law don't really get on that well. I don't really care, they both need to just grow up IMO.

    My NY strip was good, my 7 month old grandson sat with me for a bit. No complaints.

    Hospice for 9 months is rather rare.

    I understand that being a former president is different than being a regular dude, but my uncle was in hospice for a few weeks and they pretty much told him he wasn't dying fast enough and he was gonna get moved out. He died a couple of days later.

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't FedEx Home use contractors for delivery versus UPS using employed drivers?

    Around 30 years ago, FedEx was just air service for letter sized stuff, no big packages. Then they bought out RPS and changed that to FedEx Ground. Those RPS guys were contractors and owned their trucks and got paid per package delivered. Any time we refused a package, those fuckers would moan and bitch, "C'mon man, that's 28 cents I'm losing!". Even better when their trucks would break down and they'd be off work for a while.

    Stick shift is like an anti-theft device nowadays. Awhile back these assholes carjacked someone early in the day and were later spotted and were getting chased by the cops and news helicopters were following.  They ditched the car and jacked the first car in line at Burger King. They made it about 25 feet because he couldn't drive a stick and got caught- it was glorious 

     

    This happened to my wife's cousin except when the carjackers saw it was a stick and knew they couldn't drive the car, they killed her cousin. This was in the 90s, one of them is still locked up.

    Maybe the thing my wife does that pisses me off the most is not flushing our bathroom toilet after she pees. When I go to use the toilet hours or days later I get the waft of rotten piss and I absolutely hate it. After a while it seems to permeate the toilet so it stinks even after flushing. I used to tell her how much I hated it and I asked her nicely to flush the toilet after she pisses. She ignored me and I stopped saying anything.

    Yesterday evening she tells me, "Our bathroom stinks. I think the toilet is leaking or something."  She's implying that I need to look into it. I wanted to tell her, "Yeah, I know it stinks. It's because you never flush the fucking toilet you disgusting, ignorant bitch." But I didn't. I just nodded and walked away.

    My mom (RIP) used to do this. I would go to the bathroom in the morning before I got ready for school and find it. When I complained, she said "I have to get up and pee during the night and I don't flush because the noise will wake me up more and I won't be able to get back to sleep afterwards."  I said that made no sense and she would not respond but instead she'd act like the opinion of her teenaged son meant nothing, which was the damn truth.
