What REALLY grinds your gears?

Worse. Most days, I'm the only man in the office. This place is like 95% women.

Leading up to the election, there was no intelligent debate or discussion going on...they were just raging about what showed up on their Facebook page that morning.

"I can't believe she wrote that! I wrote her back and said she better stop talking and she said that wasn't going to happen! I might just have to unfriend her!"

I agree, people were posting stupid stuff online on both sides, but c'mon...can we act like adults just one day perhaps?

Isn't that a man's dream? I guess not when they're all painfully awkward like that though.

And old.

My wife has nothing to worry about...not one is worth a second glance. :D

Oh God. Old awkward women.

I need to get my shit together now, I'm already awkward. I don't need to be old on top of that.

Triffic. How the hell do you people in N VA. deal with that traffic everyday. I went to Reston Wed. for a Thursday meeting and the traffic going into Reston Wed. evening was not too bad but I left Reston around 4:45 yesterday. It was traffic as far as I could see and not moving. How the hell does 95 come to a stop when there are no traffic signals and no accidents? Someone told me yesterday was not bad compared to most days.

Wow, your spell checker is seriously foxxored.

Every time I have to go to Reston I just go ahead and add another 1-2 hours onto my commute. I go to Learning Tree training every few months up there and I just stay in the hotel right behind it even though it's crazy expensive because the traffic up there makes me insane.

Incredible. He spelled the same word three different ways in a single post.

This is tough. I live in Arlington and I gladly pay a bit more to reduce my commute. There are people that commute hours each way every day. It's unreal. I get that NoVA salaries are higher than most places in the country, but spending 4 hours of my life in traffic every day isn't worth the reward. My job got moved to Maryland about 2-3 years ago... I made it only a few months and a couple 3 hour commutes until I left.
