After all, that is a foreign country as far as I'm concerned. Would you like his phone number? I'm sure he'd love to talk to you about taxes.

When you make a post from your cell phone and realize that something autocorrected and threw in a random word (e.g. "in my opinion" became "in my direction")... Only after someone quoted your response

Deciding to go into the office on the Fri. before a long weekend, and despite having 9+ routes dependent on what's happening, choosing the one on the way home where every f'in tourist is already there and getting ready for the weekend festivities (aka 90 min. to get 16 miles)

Tourists need to be made to pay for the disruption they cause imho. $75 bridge/tunnel toll, unless you have an EZPass registered legitimately within 25 miles of downtown. For once London got it right

These things! After three hours of landscaping I'm covered in these sticky little mothers. And just when you think you got them all. You find 20 more!

It's more fun when they get stuck in your dog's fur.

At least they don't bite. I can't work in my yard without suffering chigger bites. Little bastages.

If I don't put deep woods off on my lower legs when I do the lawn I get bit all to hell

I can't stand Wells Fargo's customer service. They are now reaching stalker levels of customer service. They greet me like 17 times, ask me what I'm doing for the day, weekend, or why am I here at this hour. Ask where I got my watch, shirt, how I like my phone etc...

2011CrazE89 · 09-02-2014, 11:50 AM

My Allstate auto insurance is getting on my last nerve. They call me twice a week leaving me "urgent" messages saying “We want to make sure you’re getting the right coverage” please call us ASAP! They make the call sound so damn important like I have to drop whatever I’m doing and call them immediately. When I get them on the phone they start the sales pitch BS. Well for an extra $30.00 you get…….

Jesus! leave me the hell alone!!

I've been wondering why my normally mute hubby is even more quiet than usual. Apparently I just found the reason: I checked every fucking paperless box for my bank statements, and YET THERE IS ONE ON THE DESK AND ITS OPEN. Well, at least he now knows I enjoyed my trip immensely, and I have nothing to hide (IND orders will show up in my cc bill and not to that one) but why the fuck are banks so bloody difficult here?! Argh!

Don't the chiggers like having their photographs taken?

Yes and when they eschew obfuscation and verbose hyperbole when what's needed is action.

Dude OT... but I am curious how you put 40K miles on your car in a year?

Are you planning on keeping it for a while?

I have a territory roughly 5 hrs north-south and 2.5 hrs wide. Typically 800 miles per week. I'll keep it till it has about 250k miles on the odo. 4 more years.

OBFUSCATION! One of my favorite words lately. I use it all the time, and some people don't know WTF I'm talking about.
