What REALLY grinds your gears?

I always take the stairs, two steps at a time for extra calf work. My office is on the top floor (4 floors).

I also always beat the elevator people upstairs.

So do you get your extra bicep work for all the pats on the back you give yourself on here? Right?

Honestly if we had a coworker here that did what you just described in the stairwells; he/she would be the butt of many jokes. Just picturing someone in business attire doing that makes me laugh.

Here comes Skippy!

I'm not even mad.

Who's going to mock me, the lady that looks pregnant for the last 10 years or the one who broke her office chair?

Plus would it not be more of a workout to take every step vs. skipping some?

Yeah, cos being fit is sooooo lame. /sarc

Does your extra X chromosome make you more bitchy, mred, or is it the humidity?

Nope. More resistance to push up further...feel the calves burn.

Go to a local store for lunch, grab a couple items and immediately head to the quick, "10 items or less" check out...lady in front of me checking out A) has 13 items and B) asks for a f*ckin pen.

A) rules. if it says 10 items, then 10 is the effing max. its a line for people like me, with 3 items who want to grab and go.

B) Who the f*ck writes a effing check anymore? Of course we need to write it out, let the cashier run it and record it in our little register. An addition 2 minutes to my waiting time while im staring at the other line 10 items line breeze right through. Who the f*ck writes a check? Get a effing check card.

2 gears in with one lady, and she wasnt old like 40. god damn it

I had to laugh at this because I have experienced this all too often. The blood begins to boil when it happens as well...lol

I called a lady out one time at Wegmans. I was having a wicked day and I had to run in for stuff for dinner. She literally had over 20 items in the 10 or less line; I huffed and puffed. She finally was like to the cashier please take this gentleman first he is obviously upset. I said lady it clear says ten or less don't make me the a$$hole for complaining about you breaking the rules. The cashier was smurking the whole time.

I hate when people try to bend rules and hope now one says anything so they can get away with it.

Paying with check is unbelievable I get that sometimes as well; we need to be done with checks at least in the retail world.

This is my new gear grinder!

The dysfunctional functioning alcoholic single mom next door to me.

Her mom has been my neighbor for since I moved there. She is in her mid sixties; I help her out all the time because she is my neighbor and she is a single women living alone.

So come early July she says her daughter (27) is moving back in with her son (4); same age as my son. Great my son needs a play mate at home.

It was fine at first but she has totally taken advantage of the situation with us. Literally dropping him off and taking off. Last Saturday she asked if he could go to the pool with us; sure no problem (she will always ask in ear shot of the kids so if you say no they have a fit). This was noon we get back at 4 she is not around and her mom is no where to be found. It gets about 8:30 and her mom shows up so we shuttle him off to her; she was out and didn't realize her daughter was gone. The daughter as of this morning has still not shown up but has text her mom saying she needs sometime(she is on a bender I just know it).

Most weeknights she drops him off to us and takes off saying she has a doctors appointment or some lame excuse; she is just going drinking. She is our best buddy when she has her son and wants to pawn him off but if it is a day his dad has him she can't remember our names. She has literally in the past walked right past my son when he has said hi to her; really? After the hours I have watched your kid and feed him you can't say hi to my son.

On the rare occasion she does stay with us to watch him she is glued to her phone with the text messaging and facebook shit. She is there but not mentally.

I am really stuck with this situation because the boys want to play together but there are times I can't handle him, my son and my 1 year old daughter all at the same time. It has also got to the point where he has gotten comfortable with us that we have to discipline him at times (most kids at first are afraid of other adults and tend to behave better than when with their parents).

Still my boss. Me and my coworkers have figured out his master plan: Teach all of us how to do everything in his old non-computer reliant methods, so he doesn't have to do anything.
