Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4
It's not! I've actually moved cubes since then, a little further away from her, so the crunching isn't nearly as loud. It's pretty quiet, and I have a window seat. I sit next to a cougher, but nowhere near as bad as Clearing Throat Lady was. Pretty tolerable overall.

Gear grinder: had my work truck broken into yesterday. Meth-head junkie smashed the passenger window and grabbed the laptop bag (with company laptop and wifi device) and my company phone.
They shut the phone off (or popped the SIM out) immediately after grabbing it as it hasn't phoned home since (my company has pretty good security and sent the mobile wipe command as soon as I called).
What a mess. People are awful.

I HATE UN WEEK.
If you assume that (outside of Washington DC at least) Manhattan has the highest concentration of adzholes per capita, and the UN has the highest concentration of adzholes per capita in Manhattan, then UN week has so many adzholes concentrated in such a tiny space!
and to top it off, every time the Prez decides to stay in Manhattan, His Favored Hotel is close to our office, which means barricades on all the streets and an even bigger traffic nightmare. Last time we literally could not cross the street to get off the block (had to go downstairs to the subway, cross under the street, and come back up again).

If your organization is ostensibly the industry maker for investment trade settlement, please make sure your documentation is both complete and accurate before sending it out and touting it as the one-stop shop for all file layout questions we might have. In all of five minutes looking, it's clear that at least three prcoessing values were missing from a key field. I can't wait to read the rest of the newly improved documents. Frickin' New Yorkers.

people who talk through an entire spin class, nonstop. The instructor kept turning the music up, and they kept talking louder. if you can chatter nonstop the whole time, you're not working very hard or paying attention, so why are you wasting a space and distracting everyone? if you're going to half-*** it and barely work, at least have the decency to shut your mouth so you don't drive everyone else crazy. it always seems to be 20 year old girls that don't realize there are, perhaps, other people on the planet besides them and maybe a spin class full of people and loud music is not the best venue for a nonstop conversation.

What's worse is how indignant those types of people get when you try to tell them to be quiet.

People that don't understand the "zipper merge", and when to use it and when it doesn't apply. Also, MNDOT for introducing the term "zipper merge" into my vocabulary.

Well, they probably would take it better if you didn't shout "Shut the **** up *****!" at them. Or was that me that did that?

Something that really annoys me is when drivers won't dim their brights. There are times I want to pull over, let them pass me, then put my brights on them in their rear-view mirror for awhile.
However, given how many crazies there are in the world these days, I'm reluctant actually to do it. I've actually started keeping an 18" piece of pipe tucked under the passenger seat, though I've never had to reach for it yet.

It's not always brights. Sometimes, maybe even most times, when someone replaces their headlights, they're not correctly aiming the new ones, making it seem like they're running their highbeams.

My childhood friends and I call those "equalizers."
I still have an old 30 oz/29" aluminum softball bat (in other words, huge) in my Jeep's back seat.

24" inch breaker bar with a 3/4" socket. Helps with the whole concealed weapon thing.
