If you're going to bring your vehicle in for service, even if it's just for an oil change, take a few minutes to clean out your vehicle.
Myself and the technicians really don't want to smell your old fast food wrappers or whatever when we get in the car.
Lately I've been seeing some pretty disgusting stuff.
How can people live/drive in that filth I don't know.

The sister who calls me today to tell me about all of all of her problems during her drive home. I listen, crack a joke or two, offer some advise and commiserate. Not once does she ever ask how I am or what I'm doing. Never has.
However… @auntiehill, you are a good and kind and understanding sister!?
Customer walks in and wants to know if we have time to do an oil change.
I said Yes, I have someone available to do it right now.
He asks how long it would take.
I said an how to ninety minutes.
I have to be somewhere in thirty.
Turns around and leaves.
JFC. We're not a fucking Jiffy Lube. Why did you even bother.

My mom wanted me to join her at some event in her city, boy was it badly organised: not enough chairs for everyone, no clear directions for the toilet and no list of beverages which would require everyone in charge of the drinks to repeat themselves for hours; poor guys. I left that event after 20 minutes and went home
How short sighted do you have to be to back your vehicle up to a safety tape line and then move it to make your life slightly more convenient while ignoring the rules for safety in the first place? 
When the lead driver at a red light isn't paying attention to the light change and only goes after someone behind them honks, but because so much time had passed idling on green, that lead driver is the only one who can go because it's already changing back to red again.
Was actually going the opposite direction and watched the whole thing happen.

I had something similar, earlier today. I'm in the car wash, my car is being pulled forward. The car in front of me has received the green light to place their car in drive and move out, but they aren't moving. I had to lay on the horn because my car is about to be shoved into their car.

So, I drove thru at McDonald's today because my son wanted something to eat. I decided to order an unsweet tea for myself. I verified the order on the screen, and the cashier verified the order. At the pick up window, I asked again if the tea was unsweet, and the server said yes.
Every single one of you knows that tea was not unsweet. It was Southern sweet.

Kamen. Nuff said.
An article in my local newspaper: "people are not eating the required amount of food or water, they don't drink enough water and too much Cola." I agreed with that, but then it was the serving portion of all the food or water. How it involved nuts, legumes and whole wheat products. I was like "ain't nobody got time for that shit" also, do you know expensive groceries are these days? If I have to buy all that extra stuff, I have to pay like 30€ extra! So fuck off with your serving portions!
The advertisements and suggestions on Facebook are the worst. Their clickbait headlines are so obvious and pathetic but I guess it must work otherwise they'd try something different.
"Your favorite sports team has signed this championship player!"
Turns out he was a Division II champion who hasn't been able to make it with any club who signs him.
I installed a browser app that is supposed to hide ads and suggestions. Doesn't always work. When it does work, it hides it but still leaves a line that tells you what it is in case you want to click on it anyway, and sometimes my Facebook feed gets pushed way down because I get a huge list of 30-40 blocked ads in a row because Facebook is trying to fight it.

@#$%ing lying mind-changing three-faced dealer buyers who downgrade the deal twice moments after making it.
Labs that send you pages of results but don't explain what any of them actually mean.
That's what Google is for.

Yes but my advice is not to do that. I've had a few procedures done over the years and looking up stuff only makes you more anxious than what you would have been before. I best advise not to do it.
It is why I go to Labcorp. They show you the minimum and maximum normal number for each result, and a bar graph next to each result showing what your result is. Then compare it to your most recent prior lab result to the current one.
I am annoyed. Best-case scenario, I've lost a filling in a tooth, worst-case, I've damaged the tooth. Either way, a painful and probably expensive dental trip is in my future.
