Get Your Grump on Thursdays - Was (What's chapping my @ss today?)

[Too Tall]

Lack of superpowers, specifically time travel. I only need this once and will give it back to the keeper-of-superpowers when finished. That's not unreasonable.

95% of all Facebook content. Nobody cares. It does not matter. Keep it to yourself. You're not that clever. Your political rantings will change nobody's mind. Sorry about your Aunt's 'roids. Sweetie, that pic of you suckin' a hot dog plays cute in your sophomore year...just wait 'til it comes up as a question during your first real job interview. Auto-broadcast blasts from the likes of Ashton Kutcher...WHAT??? "It's Complicated"..No, it's not....you are simply a stalkeresque DB who should just leave that poor girl alone.

I tried to watch the debate this week, and everyone said ooh, now they are really debating. Now they are really challenging each other on the facts.

N o t h e y t h e f u c k a r e n o t.

Tip O'Neil knew how to debate. Ted Kennedy knew how to debate. Patrick Moynihan knew how to debate. My high school debate team knew how to debate. Any one of my high school debate team would have whipped out the appropriate notecard at any point and laid either candidate to waste on the FACTS.

This shyte was to actual debating what NASCAR is to ballet. Just a car wreck and a lot of gas with no beauty or art.

- The project manager fond of the phrase 'reach out' who also exclaims 'giddyup' any time anyone responds in the affirmative. Also the frame of mind I've gotten myself into where I even notice this sort of thing. Ah, for the good old days where I believed I wasn't resident in this plane of existence, only visiting.

Those young people and their uptalk. What is uptalk? Let me tell you? It is a manner of speaking that makes every statement sounds like a question? Get off my lawn?
Also know as high rising terminal?

Having a cold. Missing work. Having to move this weekend while sick is not a winning proposition.

perfect opportunity to ride from Boston to Hartford on Friday is now squandered due to "heavy rain, wind, and thunderstorms" so I'll have to take the train instead.

people who complain about the content on Facebook, Twitter, or this forum. Guess what, no one is forcing you to look.

Anyone.....and I mean ANYONE who attempts to give directions in any other format other than:

Street w/number & Zip code.

Please just give an address I can plug into gps. Phrases like "Where the old grocery store used to be" or "accross from Bill's friend's house" or "near that big clump of trees they took out last week" mean nothing. "Second right after the east turn off" doesn't mean much either.

I had no idea such a thing exists.

Grump number 2 today...I'm not in Austin to go to beer week.

A little alcohol ain't going to hurt anyone! I remember my father reacting with near-horror when my preggo wife had a glass of wine w/dinner. The 'lil thing seems no worse for it now. Although she did just must that National Merit Scholar qualification, come to think of it...

[davids]

I take it back - I clicked on your link, and that's not "a little alcohol"!

A couple of samples surely won't hurt!

Beer week in Austin ?
I'm in the wrong place !

[Jayme]

I'm not on vacation in Portland anymore.
I'm in the wrong place too!

I would say that I will have a couple in your honor, Wayne, but that may be a little weird :).

Clients that don't pay bills on time (even when working on timetable they setup), don't communicate that payment will be late or when it will come, and then cop an attitude when I point out that non-payment and non-communication is a form of disrespect.

Large companies and institutions that can't pay on time on a net 30 invoice even when they have entire farking accounting departments.

Apparently I need to reconnect with my former acquaintance "Chubbs" and send him to say hello to some people.

I have Kenda Kwest 700 x 28 tires on a bike.
But I bought them from the most desperate LBS and they were the only 28s on this side of town.
They are so heavy, but are pretty grippy.

You get a merit badge. LBS purple heart.
