It feels as though that's directed at me tell you what, if you want I'll sign off and not come back until November and not bother anyone. In November if my absence has cured things I'll sign off for good. Acceptable ?

Sorry to hear your path has gone astray from where you may have wanted to be...It can be difficult sometimes to not allow circumstances beyond control to change oneself, a strong connection to the spirit world certainly does help keep one's path on track...

Why would you think that?...Its obvious he wanted this strife to occur, by the way his post was worded...Don't fall into his nonsensical game, if he cannot speak up and clarify what he's saying soon then he won't have the opportunity to do so later...Simple...

Nope — not at all. It's my questionable sense of self deprecating humor. I was recently doing my profile for a dating site where I said I was a non-vaxxed, heterosexual, freedom loving Canadian who thinks it's time for a regime change in Ottawa. When translated by the woke left, that becomes "anti-science, transphobic, right-wing extremist" — it was supposed to be a funny "Don't you hate it when . . ." response. Perhaps I should rethink my dating profile ( lol ).

BTW: At first I wasn't sure whether or not you're serious, then I realized that either way, it's still funny — a sharp witted allusion to my absence over the last few months ;)
 
Oh, my bad.

The neighbor's dog is the one that told me that was directed at me.

It's always telling me .... things...and this is what happens when I listen.

I am rarely serious if that helps.

I thought perhaps you were saying you needed to redefine masculinity in a pro-science left wing safe space and I thought maybe I should take a break as that sort of thing is bound to give me indigestion.

No kidding. Which is why I was trying to make light of it.

More seriously, It was also a bit sobering to realize that there is a faction who would label people like me as such. I actively protested in the streets against the vax, I've also spoken-out against the forced "re-education" of people like Jordan Peterson for not using the proper "gender pronouns", and I think the liberals ( north and south of the border ) are anything but "liberal" and have completely lost their way. After being banned or censored numerous times for expressing my views on these issues — I've become a bit touchy about it.

Anyway — the longer conversation belongs in the politics thread. I just thought it would make a funny "I hate it when" thing. So glad we got it cleared-up !
 
Line jumpers really piss me off.

The DMV requires you to make an appointment and when you show up a person verifies that and hands you a ticket, you wait until your number is called.

Except you get the little sawed off runt who is swaddled in more NYPD logo gear than I have ever seen who has to run right past everyone else and fidget and start telling the kid at the kiosk his appointment 'didn't go through.' Rather than listen to more nonsense he just let this idiot in who ran right up to the first counter (without waiting to be called) and got what he wanted. I heard him tell the lady that he 'tried to call but it didn't go through'.

This was a Vinnie Goombatz, a real deez-doze-dat fugettaboutit nitwit. I sincerely doubt he's a cop, he's just an overbearing ginzo who didn't realize (or care) that a roomful of people were totally locked onto all this nonsense. We get a lot of those around here - that type represents half the population of Long Island.

I didn't bat an eyelash but regret my decision not to carry my disintegration ray this morning. It's heavy, I didn't think I'd need it.
 
I hate it when I drop a simple little metal clip and it vanishes into the quantum foam. Right now it's most likely being used by a small animal in the South American rain forest as part of it's nest, or possibly it's traveled through time and is present at the Battle of Hastings.

It'll reappear at the bottom of my coffee cup the instant I order more.
 
Looked again very thoroughly, I think it may be in George Washington's pocket as he crossed the Delaware. Smooth concrete floor, not that big, I saw it bounce away ....... into The Beyond.

They opened an O'Reilly nearby and I prefer it even if it's a tad pricier, Dorman has a HELP package. They are quite helpful except for Miss Surley Nosebolt but I know better than to engage that one unless I require entertainment of some sort.

Yeah, the O'Reilly near me is further to drive than Autozone or Advance Auto but I prefer O'Reilly over those other two (no Napa around) and will go to O'Reilly first...A little pricier, but the customer service is good and I've never had to return anything...

I hate it when my Great Pyrenees suddenly gives up on walks and drops to the ground only to get up and walk again when HE decides its time or when he simply refuses to come inside and has to be bribed to come inside or bribed to walk again...Apparently this is a common bahaviour for this breed and we have been combing through different training techniques to find those that will work for our dog...He is still young and this breed matures more slowly, so we have to be patient as well...

I've been using nothing but Kohler faucets and fixtures for the better part of thirty years. I had to replace the kitchen faucet and they just don't make the style we liked so we tried a Moen.

Mistake. Not even six months in I just had to order a cartridge kit. Likely they'll just send me one but by the time I go through that process the damned thing will stop working altogether. I know we have minerals in our water that does this but the design must be very different, it took years for the Kohler to jack up. It always pays to register those type of products
 
I hate it when we search endlessly to find replacements for our six (oversized) deck chairs, find what we need on Wafair then have them delivered only to find them to be cheap pieces of garbage. Wafair shipped us two more due to various problems and now having had them beyond the return period find that they bleed rust all over my deck. Rust stains that you can scrub repeatedly and they still come back.

The other chairs sat there for 15+ years without issue.
 
I hate it when I start getting credit card notifications of all the Chihuahua apparel I just bought off Etsy. WTF? I don't have a Chihuahua and don't shop on Etsy.

I reported the card stolen and had it turned off and am not responsible for the charges but this is a p.i..t.a.
 
I hate it when I run afoul of an Imperious Admin in a doctor's office.

Scheduled a simple dental cleaning and when asked if I had any surgeries I told them about my hip replacement this past February. She said they will require a clearance form from the surgeon and there are solid medical reasons why. That's the not problem.

Problem is the form is written poorly with plenty of room for confusion and it's a goddamned .jpg. They want it faxed directly from his office. Did I hit my head and wake up in 1999 or something ? Have they never heard of a fillable pdf, e signatures and email fer chrissakes? Oh, and I have to fax it to the doctor, not them .........

So.......I can still do that but it require fiddling about I don't need. Thankfully I am a Retired Telecom God who digs the lingo and kept a fax modem, I suspect normal mortals will have difficulty with this sort of thing. What a pain in the shorts
 
I normally attempt to source anything I want locally or Made in the USA. Nothing new, this is what I have been doing for years and years. As long as I know what I am buying there is no issue where it comes from.

Ordered a Feuling Made in the USA liquid filled oil pressure gauge from JP Cycles and was highly irritated when this showed up. To their credit they immediately edited the product page and said the company recently did this but when I looked I see reviews from two years ago with the same complaint. I'd return it but I need the damned thing. Swine.

Need to verify that the original gauge in my 'vette is accurate before I monkey with the oil pump and I'll just tee this off the existing fitting.

This is a motorcycle gauge. The rules of civilized conduct clearly state you do not put foreign gauges on your Harley or in your old Chevy. This gets tossed in a drawer when I am done with my project an no, I won't put their stupid sticker on my toolbox.
