That just got saved on my phone. Thanks!

I've thrown away dirty dishes too. No excuse for that ****. Be a grown up and clean up after yourself

My office has a small fridge that 3-5 of us use for our lunches and stuff. Today I came in to find that someone filled about 1/3 of it with yogurt cups for the week. I had to cram my lunch container in and hope the lid doesn't pop off now. And the sink? Let's just say that people like to leave...

Congrats on being able to retire comfortably. By all means, continue to yell at the kids to get off your lawn and tell us how kids today are lazy and don't work as hard as you did when you were our age. It's not at all tiresome. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and all that but...

Hopfool: a person who claims to work harder than anyone yet has the time to type long diatribes on a web forum detailing all of his complaints.

I'm lower on the totem pole it seems as I work for municipal government. People love to piss and moan about where their tax dollars go without even knowing what their taxes actually fund. People love to complain about laziness but nobody thanks me when I've been at work for 18 hours plowing...

Here are commercial examples of the style. Some may be available near you.

I picked up a sixer this week too. I haven't had it in a couple years and wanted to revisit it. It's better than the last time I had it. Last time it was very phenolic, tasted just like band-aids to me. I actually wrote the brewery about it

I used to clip my nails in my office. There was only one other guy and he said he didn't mind. Now I wonder if he was grossed out by it.

I just bought 3-day passes to Pitchfork in Chicago for this summer. Anyone else going?

I went to a good craft beer bar/restaurant in Evanston IL last night with my wife. They had a beer on the menu that was called Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. I was unfamiliar with it so I asked the bartender what style of beer it was. She replied that it was aged in barrels but it wasn't heavy and...
