What REALLY grinds your gears?

over the mountain · 02-10-2015, 12:14 PM

im pretty sure im turning into an angry old man.

i order a grande americano with room. americano is espresso then hot water. I ask for room bc if they fill the cup up with water is dilutes the espresso and you are left with flavored water.

So i watch the lady fill my cup up to the brim with water then pour some out to make room.

Im tempted to take my americano back and ask for another one bc ... this is fucking flavored water at this point.

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

Half ass snow storms that are just strong enough to make your morning cold, wet and miserable but too weak to get you a snow day off work.

Folks who treat their toddler like an accessory.

Smelly ass people. This woman was in our office today reeking of cat piss. She seriously stunk up the entire office and the odor lingered all day. WTF.

Mean people, racists, people who do not clean, rude people. Can go on and on. But will stop there.

People who after you have spent 3 hours digging out you cars, and front walk and driveway and in front of "your own" house, park in the spot you just cleaned out because they are too effing lazy!!!

Put up 2 lawn chairs and a polite sign saying "Hi neighbor, I spent 3 hours digging my car out of this spot. Please respect the chairs as my spot saver. In a day or two I will remove the chairs once 'reserving spots' is not needed. Thanks."

The polite sign is key. Leaves no room for "misinterpretation".

I referee high school and junior league wrestling and it's downright amazing how horribly some of these kids stink. I had a meet a few weeks ago where I walked around the mat between matches because I was convinced that one of the kids must have taken a dump on it. It was absurd.

Move the F out the city, son. No such prolems with a driveway.

At this point the only thing I still really like about living in the city is that I can get to work from my front door to my desk in 15 minutes. That is a significant quality of life thing for me. I do have great neighbors and a generally nice neighborhood.

However, pretty much everything else about living in Baltimore City grinds my gears.

In the world of sub- divisions and Cul-de-sacs I hate to say even with a drive way these problems exist if you have more than one car and one must go to work while the other gets a snow day .

In the burbs you just get plowed in by the city. Always love that.
