Minor Pittings of the Week

@BiblioCat

Was the Sausage Roll recipe posted somewhere, or was it privately emailed? Could I have a copy of it, please?
I promise not to steal your lunch anymore.

:sigh: I e-mailed it, but I’ll be happy to e-mail it to you, as well. I’ve had a talk with our plant manager, and appropriate steps will be taken. If anyone’s interested, I’ll keep you posted on the results. :Evil Look:

Deserving of their very own Pit thread: People who won’t take the Right-Of-Way when they have it.
It’s called “Right-Of-Way” for a reason, fuckwad! And it’s yours! Take it! Don’t sit there waving me on, looking confused. I’m not going anywhere till you do, shithead.
And conversely: It’s my Right-Of-Way. And I’m taking it. Don’t wave me on and smile like a nincompoop. Fuck you. I KNOW I get to go. Don’t act like you’re doing me a favor.

I think those who do the second are just too used to those who do the first.

Thank you!
And yes, keep us posted. Stealing lunches at work is worse than embezzling form the company.

I pit people who can’t maneuver the sidewalk. If I’m standing a bit off the sidewalk, away from the street, it leaves plenty of room for people to walk, and I can be visible as I wait for the bus. I’m not a jerk who stands in the middle of the sidewalk, so I try to stand off to the side of the sidwalk. I always pick a side of the sidewalk to stand on, but there’s ALWAYS a person who HAS to bump into me. Is it too fucking hard for you to walk in the MIDDLE of the sidewalk? Can you not steer yourself as you’re walking? Can your brain comprehend distances at all you dumbfuck!? I’m tired of being jostled by people who can’t navigate a nearly empty sidewalk!!

This is all appropriate to the supermarket aisles as well. At this point, people get one “excuse me” and then I’m either shoving past you, or I’m pushing your cart to the nearest spot that I deem “out of the way.” I’m also fonding of muttering, “…or just keeping standing there” if I have to shove past someone who won’t move.

I get cranky a lot…

I’m thinking you’re also quite fonding of the suffix “ing”.

I get cranky a lot…

Who wouldn’t, after tripping over that damn cat all the time!
