It’s disgusting that adult men fail at pointing their privates at the urinal or toilet making a mess for everyone else to stand in.
With unisex bathrooms, both men and women have to stand in it. I think the person just doesn't care. They're the last person in, and so what for the next person, they think. I seem to recall somewhere that had an employee go in the restroom when someone came out, just to check on things. Imagine if that employee could add cleaning the bathroom onto their bill? Ha!

Mechanics! They're like doctors and dentists. You never know when you can trust them. It is annoying that one has to get forceful with a mechanic to insist they fix their own shoddy work.

I think doctors get a commission or something from pharmaceutical companies for prescribing their product. If they have a lot of patients, it would hard to remember somebody. Sounds like you need a new doctor. Maybe a homeopathic doctor who won't write a script right away, but might actually try to find the cause of the problem.

I know, some of those cutting tools could seriously hurt someone. If I were a manufacturer, I would make easier to open packaging and state that on the packaging, so that more people would buy my product. Yep, some medicine bottles are hard to open. I think if someone wanted to, they could figure out a better way. Maybe not enough people writing to complain. Or they're still getting the revenue, so they don't care. They just try to abide by the law and so what for us who have to try and open these things.
I want to complain about my neighbor. We both live alone and we became friends a few years ago after I went to her house for help when I locked myself out of my Jeep. To make a very long story short, she got into an argument with the brand new neighbor when she was at my house. It was completely her fault and I haven't even met the neighbor yet so now she thinks I have people visiting me that are crazy/racist against black women/just completely insane and I need to fix this situation. Any suggestions? I am done with the crazy neighbor btw.
Edit to add: Crazy neighbor is never going to apologize for herself and her actions, so I need to know how to diffuse this situation with the new neighbor without approaching her because she may think I'm trying to pick a fight. Help!
You'll run into this new neighbor outside and could say: I just want to apologize for the exchange you had with my neighbor. Something like that.

Why do people move here and try to change it to whatever they left. If the place you lived was so great, just STAY THERE. If you don't like the wildlife, stay in your city. Don't come here and try to change everything.
Now those are people with complaints! People do try to change things to what they think is better. You never know why they moved. Now they want things their way. You didn't mention what specifically it was.

Their work vehicles are very big and take up half the road. They don't even try to park in a driveway.

Politics and religion. There should be a ban on ever speaking about these topics because the conversation generally doesn't go well.
Yep, 2 subjects to steer clear of, except if you have the advantage, where the other person is resigned to agree with the speaker. Of course, that person will never know that person was just yessing. Like an employer and employee. Although one could disagree with an employer on such matters, sometimes it may be better just to agree, especially if you have a mortgage to pay.

Luckily, there was a turning lane to my left that I quickly got in, so as not to ram the white station wagon. A woman got out of the white station wagon-left her car door open, and another woman got out of the black station wagon and she left her vehicle. They both started chasing a dog!!!! Good grief! What could they have been thinking! What stupid drivers! All of us could have been killed, and the dog just ran away.
I guess when it's yout poochie boo boo nothing else matters.

Great post with a sense of humor. I'm sorry for your loss.

"I wouldn't rule out taking the umbrella to work today, just in case"
Yeh, some weather forecasts. I like hourly forecasts, so that you can have the weather wrong every hour, in addition to the whole day's forecast. At least hourly is better and will narrow it down for you.

I have heard of other houses being burgled. We've notified the police and the patrols have stepped up, but nothings really changed. I just wish they would get busted or go away.
They probably will go away. They're probably rentng, and maybe not treating the house too well. How long can they continue to do that? Maybe put a fake camera in front of your house along with some alarm stickers.
Oblivious people.
I often see smaller cars having really hard time pulling out their parking spot when a big truck or SUV is parking next to them. The visibility is really not that great - backup camera or not. Small cars parked between larger vehicles like vans and SUVs often have to back blindly out of their spaces.
On a busy parking lot people are walking with their shopping carts, checking on their phone, cars are passing by, but no one just stop and let the poor driver pull out.
Why people can't show a little consideration?
Where I come from pedestrians and other drivers will stop. It takes just few seconds.
I know, it's not a law here, but could be a sign of care and courtesy...

I agree 100%. I will back into spaces or pull through when in the car and not the truck to avoid this very situation.
Where are you Aks? You haven't posted since October 2020.
I hope you're okay.
Ever get home with a carry out order and find something missing? It happened with orders delivered as well. It will be nice sitting in a restaurant again after more than a year.
I just don't like answering the phone and hearing the phone ring. Quite a silly question to ask, none of us can survive without one today!
Me too. I recently bought a Digitone ProSeries II Call Blocker and have been experimenting with that. The first thing I did was to block the 202 (Washington DC) area code.
