I brought in my car to get my brakes fixed during lunch yesterday, so they told me to come back in an hour to pick up my car. When I come back, I find out that when the guy who fixed them was testing out the brakes, he ran into a pole.
Not only did I have to pay the $400 for the brakes, I’m now going to have to go through the hassle of getting my car fixed, going through insurance, etc.
Also, I’d like to give a big fuck you to these people at my health club:
-The people who are sweating like Michael Masterson trying to think of something intelligent to say, and fail to wipe off the sweat from the machine when they’re done.
-The jerks who do one set on a machine, then sit on that machine for 10 minutes till they do their next set. You know other people can use the equipment while you’re resting.
-The guys who, after taking a shower, go to the faucet and shave with no towel on. You used a towel to dry off, why not keep it wrapped around your waist to keep others from having to see your hairy ass.
-The people who think the gym is a social club. I’ve seen people there everyday who never do any exercises, but will sit on the equipment ogling the females.
Why is your insurance company involved, at all? Is Illinois a “no fault” state? I’d have thought that the place that “repaired” your brakes would be falling over themselves trying to get your car repaired before you brought up the issue of the quality of their workmanship.
I’m not going to have to pay for it. They’re insurance is covering it but I contacted my company in case they try and screw me.
Monday starts my 1 week vacation before I start a new job. I have to bring in the car early Monday morning for an estimate, then it’s probably going to take at least a week before I get it back.
Oh, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with ogling females, just don’t do it while sitting on a machine everyone else is waiting for.
I thought this post was going to be a rant about ice fishermen/women, but since it’s not, and I don’t feel like starting a new thread: What the hell is wrong with the idiots who icefish in March?
The ice is so thin I won’t even let my dog go out on it, but there they are, out there fishing! The ice has receded so far away from the shoreline that they need to put boards down so they can traverse the 10’ of open water to get to the ice.
I always feel like pulling the boards up so when they get back to shore they’ll have to wade in…but I don’t. Stupid people. Every year I hear stories of people and vehicles going in. It’s like they have a race to see who can drive on the ice first.
Oh come on Boscibo, you want them to go ice fishing when it’s cold outside? You can get frostbite doing that, not to mention the inconvenience of putting on all those extra clothes.
Everyone knows that March is the best time for ice fishing.
Profanity is the crutch of the inarticulate mother-fucker.
To complete the hijack, hey Boscibo, in my state (Michigan), not only do the ice-fishing cretins do what you mentioned, but then they usually get trapped on ice floes that break off and begin to float away. Then the Coast Guard rescues them, at a cost to taxpayers of thousands of dollars.
I think they should be allowed to just float away, teetering together on that last melting cube worth of ice. Give the fish a fighting chance.
