Cranky Old guy's Griping...

[kbaxter60]

Regarding the junk mail. I have a fun process. I take the flers from one soliciting company and put them in another company's postage paid envelope. I give their shit to each other, and at least get the satisfaction of wasting their postage and giving them some crap they don't want. Not much, but I get a kick out of doing it.

Ha ha! If it's PPD they get their own crap back, with helpful suggestions, free of charge. My favorite are the AARP.

USPS sucks, waiting for a week for a letter my brother mailed. I have informed delivery, showing the letter was to be delivered yesterday. Watched for the mail all day, around 8pm I gave up. Hope it comes today. Have had other problems with them before. Watched one carrier with phone earbuds talking the whole time while putting the mail into one of those street mailboxes for multiple houses. Then drive off still talking to the next stop. Who talks that much? Especially when sorting out the deliveries.

I'll see you your USPS and raise you a UPS. Dumb fricks could NOT deliver anywhere near our house if their lives depended on it. So I made them a helpful "job aid" to find our driveway.

Next delivery? Thrown on the side of the road a half mile away with a large boot stomp right in the middle of the box.

Last two deliveries? Random spots on or in the road up to our house.

A few weeks ago I found a faded, weathered package on the roadside that was meant for a neighbor several parcels north of us. We got them reunited, but SHEESH!

I'll start:
Don't you hate modern toothpaste tubes? You roll 'em up and the next time you go to use it, you have roll it all up again. It was better when they were made out of lead sheets...

Tons of 3D printables or Amazon

Small binder clip works real well. I think you can get a box of one dozen for $2.

At one time they a perfect solution for dispensing toothpaste. It was called The Pump, and all major brands used it. I never found out why they went away. It was so easy to use every bit of the toothpaste in the tube.

All I know is, every year as a father makes me identify more with Red Forman.

I think Red Foreman is based on my dad. That gif is a accurate example of what my dad would say when I was a teenager.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

Probably because it cost .03 more than standard tube.

I've noticed that too. Beginning of the end........

Or they ask for the correct part number so then they can just order it online. But again…. I’m guilty and always want a deal too. I just tell them let me know how rock auto/amazon warranty works out for you when you’re sitting on the side of the road

I'd be awfully tempted to accidentally get one digit wrong.

Because nobody has put out decent country music since about 1980.

In fact, released in 1980, we have the truest song ever:

I'll see that and raise you arrogant dipshits in India making sales cold calls for "services" that exist only till they get ahold of your bank information.
