    Under the present circumstances...that's an irresponsible demand to make of anyone.

    I think seeing someone's used face mask lying damp & crumpled in a parking lot is just as vile & nauseating to me as if I were to have instead seen there, in the same condition, their used underwear. :barf:

    Speaking of leaving things on the ground...

    It annoys me that people don't bother to put their trash in a garbage bin... they just throw it on the ground. Especially disgusting when it's food with lots of sauces.

    I'm not an eco person, but it just speaks of bad manners to be too lazy to throw your trash in a bin at a parking lot or when you get home.

    Indeed. I never understood the mentality. Like I can be lazy but that takes laziness to a whole new level to just dump it on the ground.

    And speaking of ground, snow and parking lots irritate me. People decide that parking is just to dang difficult in the snow, and since they can't see the lines parking however you like is perfectly reasonable...

    I'll do you one better, and I've actually almost slashed someone's tires over this.

    One way aisles in parking lots... with people entering the opposite direction the arrow is facing.

    I. CANNOT. F*CKING. STAND. PEOPLE. WHO. DO. THAT!!!!!!!

    It's not just lazy, it's unsafe and hazardous. I can't tell you how many times I have almost been run over because a driver can't be bothered to LOOK AT THE DAMNED ARROW! What's more, you can easily tell the direction just by looking at how other cars are parked. There have even been times that someone is about to enter my aisle in the wrong way, and honks at me because they are trying to get in. (Both men and women have done this.) I have done two different things... I have just sat there and waited for them to honk and honk until they finally move along, and I have gotten out of my truck and gone right to their window and pointed at the arrow. (Usually in addition to yelling at them for being morons.) I drive a Chevy Silverado, and with a one way aisle in a parking lot and I am staying put? You are definitely not getting around me.

    Also, in Miami we never get snow, but we sure do get drivers who park like you mention.

    This city is full of idiots behind the wheel.

    Agreed on parking lots and poor directions. I hate parking lots so much. It actively makes me a very unpleasant person to be around.

    Makes it easier to back your vehicle into the parking space. :evil::guffaw:

    In addition to a 'like' button for posts... there needs to be a 'hate' button for posts. That's all I have to say about that one.

    I have spoken.

    Near us, it's not just the parking lots. Some people take a short cut the wrong way down a oneway street or the wrong way round a roundabout, and it's clearly marked:(

    Well, I think this is the end

    Twitter third-party clients are failing across the board. None of them can log in.

    I think Musk might have dropped the big one here. :(

    That happened to me during driver's ed. Was driving downtown on a one-way street. Some clown driving a Cadillac wearing a cowboy hat turns on to the street going the wrong way. The instructor reaches over and starts honking the horn. The other driver just smiled and pointed to the parking garage entrance he was then pulling into.
    Idiot.

    The internet has decided to slut shame that policewoman en masse. We’ve truly learned nothing from the way Monica Lewinsky was treated.

    If a policeman slept with lots of different women in the department he’d be treated like the hero.

    My ex wife not replying to my insurance adjuster for over a week now to give approval for my $23,000 payout that in no way affects her but since her name was on the policy still needs her agreement.

    An application has a link that forces a launch in Internet Explorer and then complains about Internet Explorer being an outdated browser that is incompatible with their website content.

    The episode of MASH where a group of Greek soldiers show up and as a thank you for treating, they bring a live lamb that they planned on slaughtering there for a meal they were going have during a party was on today and reminded me of something that I can't stand, when people see a live animal and all they care about is how good it's going be when they eat it. This has always bugged me, even before I became a vegan, but now that I'm vegan it just pisses me off. I think the worst is when trolls come onto the sanctuary pages and start posting comments about wanting to eat the animals there.

    I'm a big meat eater myself, but that's just bad taste. ;)

    Same here. And I appreciate a good pun.

    I'm not a vegan/vegetarian by any stretch of the definition, but if someone did that around me, I could see it... gnawing at me.

    Not Onestream is it?. At one point I got it to point at Edge for a few months, but this last week, it seems insistent on opening up Internet Explorer again

    Just got an email that said FedEx delivered a package. Peek outside and see nothing. Was it stolen or misdelivered? No, the email was for something that was delivered on Monday.
