Things that frustrate us all

I am sorry to hear about your unreliable internet. At least you live close to work! If my office was only 2 miles, I might actually go in more regularly during nice weather seasons just for the sake of the walk.

The worst part is that now I'm going to have to go in again. I've had this appointment literally for over 2 months, ugh!

Germany sounds like my kind of place then!

Mine too...'course I have German ancestry (my great-grandparents) so maybe I'm biased. :)

And I agree - it pisses me off too, when people break contracts, don't show up when they're supposed to, don't pay what they owe, things like that. People say they're gonna do something, then they should DO IT.

On a completely unrelated matter, it also frosts my shorts when airlines change your itinerary without warning. Like when they changed my NONSTOP flight from New York to Omaha to one that stopped in Chicago for 50 FUCKING MINUTES (yeah, right, you try having a layover that short in O'Hare International Airport :brickwall: ).

Fortunately said airline was also very good about giving me a new itinerary with a 2 1/2 hour layover (this time in Denver - that's weird, New York to Denver to Omaha? :lol: ). And the best part was, we got that done all through Twitter DMs. Didn't have to pick up the phone.

I've had the misfortune to have a layover at O'Hara once, it was something like a 3.5 layover. 3.5hours too long if you ask me but there wasn't a direct flight I could take from where I left to my destination.
 
Oh, I don't mind LONG layovers. In fact, if I can't get a nonstop flight, I prefer them. Give me a layover between 3 and 4 hours and I'm a happy man.

Not only because it's a cushion against flight delays (if your layover is too short, you might miss your outgoing flight), but there's also...the United Club. :techman:

Yes but after a 10 hour+ flight and having been up for 15 hours or so, all you really want to do is get to your hotel room and sleep. I'm one of those that can't sleep when I'm travelling.

No, they don't. Other people in my area have the same exact car I have with fog lights, and they've never blinded me.

I have seen a few after-market one that were not installed right that are pretty bright, but mine were a factory-install.

The law may vary from place to place but it disagrees with you here. Certainly my own experience is they do in fact dazzle in good visibility.
 
Ah. That explains it. I start work at 6 am and when I go to bed I find it very difficult to fall asleep when it's still so bright out there. Also, as many parents may know from painful experience, DST makes it extremely difficult to get kids to go to bed in time, knowing that the next day they'll fail (or fall asleep) at school for a lack of sleep.
 
Today it's when you cut yourself shaving, but don't realize it until later when you see blood soaking through your slacks.

I often cut myself shaving but usually the bleeding stops very quick, at worst it needs a piece of TP for the larger ones. I'd hate to see the scar it would leave if it bled down my pants.
 
When people put quotes within quotes but don't alternate double and single quotation marks. Or put parentheses within parentheses instead of changing to brackets. It has become pervasive. I don't care just because it's a "rule," but because it makes it harder to follow.

It wasn't a very big one, just a nick below my knee on the outside, which is probably why I did not feel it in the shower. It left a dark dot about 1 centimeter across. The slacks I am wearing are light in color so it showed through very easily.

I didn't realize you were talking about shaving your legs. It makes more sense now.

Why do I get that feeling of deja vu?
