The Hunt for Dead October:
“Be careful! There are very few things there that respond well to Ukrainian freedom fighters…”
Um, did you mean to post this in the rants thread?
I’m sorry; I suppose it should have gone in the Donald Rump thread as Putin and he seem to be close associates who work together often, but without written proof (and a SCOTUS that isn’t corrupt) I wasn’t sure that it could go there.
If a Mod would prefer it moved, I have no objection.
One of my neighbors is an asshole. There is a laundry room with four washers and four dryers. First asshole thing- he was using all four dryers simultaneously. Not wanting to ruffle anybody’s feathers, I waited 15 minutes after three of the dryers had stopped before I began to empty one into one of the provided carts. This is when asshole entered the laundry room. Instead of apologizing for using all the machines at once, or for being late retrieving his laundry, he said in an aggressive voice “Don’t touch my stuff!” I explained that all four dryers were full of clothes and I needed one to dry my load. Instead of an apology, I got another “Don’t touch my stuff! You should have waited.”.I explained that I had been waiting 15 minutes. He said “You shouldn’t touch my stuff. That’s me and my wife’s clothes!” Seeing that he was becoming aggressive, I apologized and once again explained the situation . He explained (as it was a defense and not a big error) that all four dryers were full of his and his wife’s clothes. Finally, after he finished emptying the dryer I had begun to empty, he said I was free to use it. He did not clean the lint screen.
I say again, asshole.
You need some red dye and a bunch of quarters.
If he pulls this sh-t again, the combo of the two will pink his ass.
Nah, the dye would inevitably fuck up someone else’s clothes.
You need a pair of sexy panties to toss in with his wife’s clothes. When she find them, hilarity will ensue!
For more fun, add a condom wrapper.
Here’s a really bad design (no longer available). I live in PA so I’ve seen plenty of these in real life.
I had the siding replaced and my roof replaced, both did a great job of cleaning up and even wnet over the yard with a big magnet to find all the lost nails.
Heh. My house was purchased new…we got to meet the builder! Of course, by the time we saw the house, everything looked nice and tidy. After a few months, I realized that one of the shower drains wasn’t draining. Long story short, someone on that crew had stuffed a bit of plastic and what appeared to be the remains of an Allen wrench into the drain.
That is freakin’ awesome.
I know! I’d never thought about it before I knew I had a choice. But then I realized “Yeah, this house is a century old, and I’ve always had to move my head around and have my brain average the views before I can see details.” (like “Whose kids are those, on my lawn?”)
Wavy glass, man… it’s like Not Flat. Whoahhh…
I don’t want to give details but right now I’m incredibly pissed off at a family member for their behaviour, and also incredibly sad for the people they are hurting (more directly than me).
Not a case of violence or anything illegal, but definitely Ultra Super Duper Selfish Asshole and I kind of want to track them down (a couple of provinces away) and slap some sense into them.
I am at my wits’ end. This is the third time Cigna has denied me an MRI, because I need to have six weeks of PT. I have had twelve weeks. Cigna knows damned fucking well that I’d had twelve weeks of PT, because they’d paid for it!
I’ve looked at the order from my PCP to the Imagers. It clearly says that I’ve had twelve weeks of PT and have not improved.
Cigna even sent me the "can we sue someone? " paperwork. I wish. Unfortunately, “I got off the toilet wrong,” isn’t grounds to sue.
I just want some closure. I just want my leg and back to stop hurting. I just want to be able to sleep through the night. I just want my left calf to stop being numb.
Thank god, my PCP and Mrs Magill got me on anti-depressants a couple of years ago. I don’t think I would have survived this.
Why is my parents’ dog so goddamn stupid? My parents are on holiday, and because they’re paranoid about putting the feral little shit in a kennel for a week, they’ve stuck him with me. There are many reasons I don’t like him, but the one that’s boiling my piss right now is that he’s incredibly stupid. Just a straight-up retarded dog. For five entire minutes he’s been trying to jump up onto the couch. He can do it, if he takes a little run-up, but he’s so thick that, about 20 times a day, he’ll forget that every time he’s successfully jumped up onto the couch he’s done a little run-up first. In a minute or two, he’ll remember “Oh shit, I’m not big enough to surmount the couch from a dead stop! I’d best do a run-up”, but then he’ll jump down and before he hits the floor he’ll have magically forgotten all over again.
Please don’t use “retarded” as an insult.
Poor dog 
Okay so I’m convinced the neighbors feud is escalating in a big way. One is batshit crazy suing folks that live on either side of him for utter bullshit reasons. It’s been dismissed w/o prejudice (iirc) not sure what that means but the dick and his bitch wife just add more bs reasons to their lawsuit and it’s back on the docket.
Now the one guy named in the lawsuit has been working on landscaping his property, street level down all the way to his lakefront. He’s a general contractor with his own business. A really really nice guy. His wife is battling cancer. Lately he’s been operating a piece of equipment a walk behind bulldozer type thing that is kind of loud.
The crazy Nextdoor neighbor every time nice guy stops working starts playing the theme song from Bob the Builder at 11. It’s cranked up and he lets it loop over and over. What is this madness!
Oh again just now goddamm it. I hear it in my house three doors down I’m about to go shout something rude.
If that’s 11pm, that’s some call the cops with a noise complaint shit. If it’s 11am, it’s just childishness.
The volume is at 11, and only during daylight.
It would be the county sheriff out here responding. So in other words no one is responding to that call.
Yes, please don’t. That label is right up there with the ‘n’ word. It is a no fault disability we now use intellectual disability or developmental disability as a term for. Using ‘“retarded” or “retard” as above literally insults, devalues, demeans, others millions and millions of people. Adding -tard to some other descriptor, such as “libtard” is just as bad.
Begging forgiveness from Nike™️, Just Don’t Do It.
True. Just say “Golden Retriever”.
