This Really Annoys Me Pet Peeve Thread

[wallybangbang]

How the hell does one fit their Wang in a bottle?! I ain't even bragging. A bottle hole is pretty small.

1. Persistance
2. Meth
3. More Meth

There have been people that shoved whole 6 foot strings of x-mas lights up the pooper. No joke

In an industrial machinery rescue class I took a couple years ago, this was one of the situations we had to deal with. Granted, in the situation of the class, it was a finger stuck in the bottle, but the instructors told us about a case where they had to apply the same methods to free a, uh, different appendage.

(We also had to practice cutting off a wedding ring. With the same type of side story)


It has become one of my main goals in life to never do something that is used as an educational anecdote in any fire/rescue school.

AMEN. You don't ever want to be that guy and live in infamy. I always think of the Fire Chief in Oregon who decided it was a good idea to blow up a dead beached whale to get rid of it. That video is shown in all fire/ems/police leadership classes and probably a lot outside those services as well. Hindsight is 20/20 but god damn that was a not well thought out decision.

That's a lofty goal. I'm concentrating on not getting my pecker stuck in anything.

I'll add no foreign objects stuck up the poop chute.

So... domestic items only?

Watermelons, cucumbers and gourds grown in your back yard don't count or do they?

 

[Hamaki]

Damn straight - and union made. If I need help from the folks down at the ER extracting a leaf blower or garden weasel from my colon I don't want them finding some cheap import knock-offs. I have my pride.

 

[GrogNerd]

Snap-On and not Harbor Freight, right?

but, you do know, as long as you can still read "Craftsman" on the tool, Sears will exchange it for you

 

[wallybangbang]

Thread is officially de railed and I am responsible.

I still want to know how someone banged a beer. Thinking back I did some kinky s**t in my younger years but I don't think it ever involved beer.

SWMBO i

 

[wallybangbang]

Sorry got cut off,

SWMBO is laughing right now, says kinky beer sex will probably never happen. She said "probably" though so the door is still open.

I puled a Lloyd "So your sayin theres a chance"?

Back on track. Pet peeve of the day is cheap trash bags. My in-laws feel the need to go out of their way to buy the least expensive, lowest quality trash bags available, and then do so in bulk. It is impossible to get from the trash can to the back of the truck without at least a leak (on a good day), or more commonly, a total blowout.

To add insult to injury, they usually build up 2-3 bags in the garage if I am coming for the weekend, because I have a truck. Granted, it is a truck, and can be washed out, but it has a camper shell on it, and I like to keep the bed relatively clean, because that is where my dogs and beer cooler ride.

Last year I even bought the the giant box from Costco of good Kirkland bags, and they have officially been designated as being "saved for company." Damn things will be dry rotted by the time they get around to using them.

Special trash bags for company?

 

[GrogNerd]

Break out the good china, the good silverware & the good trash bags when company's coming over

That's just proper etiquette

Well, no. I don't suppose those do. They're food. Poop is, or was, food. It pretty much belongs in your butt.

What really annoys me - people that post something stupid and ruin a perfectly good "Epic Picture / Meme thread" for everyone else.

I honestly didnt know that there were "cheap vs expensive" trash bags. I just kinda always figured they were all pretty inexpensive and part of being an adult living in a house. Even if you sort them into expensive vs cheap categories, whats the price differencial? Like 2-3 cents per bag? Totally worth it in my opinion. I dont want the trash bag breaking on me when I carry it to the trash. If I dont have to take time to clean up nasty trash, totally worth the extra cash.

This. The rules are pretty straight forward. If you have to question whether or not it may be questionable, dont post it. I enjoyed that thread too

Look at the thickness of the bags. Usually labeled in mils. 3 mils is the thickest bag I've found; they run about $20 for 30 bags I think. But I've also had so much stuff piled into a 50 gallon bag that it took two people to lift it - and it never ripped.

Your 'cheap' bags are usually something like 0.3 mil -- a good sneeze can blow through them.

Oh I get it that there is a difference in the quality. Im just saying that the better bags are well worth the money

HD sells "demo" bags (42 gal) and they're 7 mils thick. 20 for $25. My wife likes to buy the most "inexpensive" kitchen garbage bags. What does she care? She's not bringing out the garbage. I make sure we have thicker bags in the house so that doesn't happen. Sorry about continuing the derail...

 

[GrogNerd]

not really a derail, because it's something the BigHair does which annoys me: buys the cheapest/least expensive whatever

yeah, we're saving money in the short run, but having to replace whatever faster than buying the more expensive option (usually better quality, but not always)

or, in the case of trash bags, having to double bag = NOT saving money

This basically sums up my purchasing philosophy, I buy strictly based on the value proposition of the product at hand.

For instance tools. In most cases I have very nice hand tools, mostly SK, with some Matco and snap on mixed in. Occasionally I will buy a single task tool from harbor freight, but only if the reviews indicate that it is up to the task.

I am all about low cost, but I can't stand anything that is cheap.

right.

if it's twice the cost, but lasts 3x longer, it's the better value

example: the BigHair needed new wiper blades, so she went to the autozone and purchased the cheapest set, for like $4. a month later, they needed replacing.

so I went and saw the $4 set, an $8, a $12 and some for $20. I bought the ones for $12 and they're still on the car, 2 years later

A man will pay $15 for a $10 item he needs.

A woman will pay $10 for a $15 item she does not need, because it was on sale.

I don't believe in "time"

oh, sure, as a natural 4th dimensional concept to mark sequences of events and distinguish identical events occurring in the same point in space, yeah

but as a man-made construct to divide & measure those sequences of events, not so much

still, being late is a dick move and you should find another realtor. one who won't be wasting your time
