What REALLY grinds your gears?

sounds like bragging to me. #firstworldproblems j/k

1. ppl who dont pick up after their dog. you are a POS person if you do this.

2. espn's odd obsession with showing highlights of rich white kids sitting courtside over-celebrating a play.

the only time you find me bragging about trees are the kind that are found in a jar.

My favorite is when people walk past our house and don't realize I look right out the window when watching TV and can see you do it. One time (admittedly drunk) at around sunset, we saw a neighbors dog dropping a giant deuce a good ten feet onto our property. I put on flip flops, grabbed a paper towel, walked outside, picked up the shit and said, "Hey, wait a second!" and dropped it right in front of them and walked off. Should have thrown it at them.

No one likes these neighbors anyway, so I was willing to deal with the awkwardness after that. :)

chico - i have so many empty jars i dont know what to do with them.

malcolm - almost exact situation. i have an end townhouse and along the pathway next to my house there is a ton of dog poop, same size (medium) and consistency etc.

a couple weekends ago im watching tv and through my backdoor i see a medium size dog take a squat kinda on my property kinda not. the guy has no indication of picking it up. i walk out and ask if he needs a bag. he says no and produces one.

2 days ago, i had a medium size poop right behind my car.

today i walk out and there are 2 medium size poops within 5 feet of my front door (def on my property).

i dont know what my response should be. i could easily smash this guy but at 37 im not trying to go that route. i could put all my dogs poop on his front door but that is just asking for a continual cycle of poop related retaliations.

ive decided (if i can pull this off), to approach him in a friendly "hey neighbor i have a 3 year old, there are a ton of kids in the neighborhood, can you please pick up after your dog".

pretty sure when i catch him i am going to curse him and probably punch him. once.

or my dog "fights" other dogs. maybe i should open the door to say something and just let my dog run out ....

I always carry around a poop bag. My dog has her spot in the neighborhood, so Im always ready.

I just fear the My, Myself & Irene retribution if I didn't pick up my dog shit.

when you go on some long rant trying to sound smart and then when you finally hit reply ..... you notice someone actually capable of penning an intelligent and logical rant like Joe just posted right before or after you. lol

I am literally going to lose my shit if one more person tries to set up a lunch (12PM-1PM) meeting with me. If there is one holy hour in my work day, it is that. It's MY time mother fuckers, and I get so annoyed when people will email me and say, "Hey, I won't be in my office from around noon to one, so if you could stop by and fix problem __________, that would be great."

If you are seriously busy ALL damn day, I would understand that. A little background, my town is small, so it's easy to get off-campus and easy to get to my house (about 5-7 minute drive). It's nice to go home with the wife, enjoy some lunch/work out and then come back. To the people requesting these appointments, I'm sorry you choose not to leave the building. More than one person has seemed seriously put out when I tell them, "I'm unavailable from noon to one."

Am I being whiny? But of course! Today was just the last straw as I'm literally heading out the door and someone was like, "Hey, I know we had a 2PM appointment, but I'm here early, can we meet now?"

ARGGGH.

walk into the office and someone is peeling/eating hard boiled eggs near your desk...the smell of rotten ass to begin your day. yuck

That and tune fish sandwiches should be banned from the work place. They literally linger for hours.

My boss likes to microwave cod ... i fucking kid you not.
