What gets your goat....

[rhino 2]

I learned early on in my business that No one is indispensable. If you were you could never take time off... When i would close my shop for a few days to go hunting or take a long weekend off for a family thing' And put a sign on the door that i'll be closed' Inevitably a customer would say you can't take off' Because i give you all my work who's gonna do it? .
I would tell them i wont get mad at you if you split the work with someone else' Its not good for you or me' To have just one person to do all the work, Suppose i die who how are you gonna get it done?
:Shrug:

I'm with you Hogcowboy, effect and affect likely cause me to shoot myself in the foot every time I try to use them.

Then there is this: me and him or me and Joe or me and them. It's always the other person first then me. Sorry.... but that just drives me nuts.

people who don't pick up their dog **** in my yard. why not let your sweet pooch **** in your own yard? it's gotten so bad that one neighbor refused to pick up after his dog so shovel in hand I deposited on his front porch.

My brother had a neighbor that had a big dog he let run loose in the neighborhood. It would get into trash cans, tear up flower gardens, and, of course, take huge horse turd dumps on everyone's nicely manicured lawns. :gah: People definitely became fed up with it's antics, particularly because there was a leash law.

Soooo, somebody (not saying it was a certain brother) collected up a large amount of said horseturds into a large plastic shopping bag, coaxed the dog in close enough, and tied it to the dog's collar with a nice note.

The dog hasn't been seen running free in the neighborhood since. :clapping:

What really irks me is instead of saying "said" or "remarked" or any other appropriate term, People say "goes". Like "so he goes" and "I go" so then "well she goes" etc.

Whats worster is when you come back from that vacation, No one even knew you were gone... :Shrug:

One summer, I got a cell call from my boss, telling me that corporate wanted shop inventory to start tomorrow ! So my reply was; Will it be ok to filet these smallmouth bass on my lunch hour? His reply; Haah?
mine; Well I might be late to work tomorrow , due to I am on the St Lawerence river fishing while camping at 1000 islands. His reply; What are you saying? Mine; I am on vacation and won't be back to work for another 2 weeks--- I was MIA a week b4 that phone call. Just to say that even the big cheese heads have no clue as to what your doing or at. I love retirement

:Agree: That's as bad as having our dispatch center at Toys R Us giving new hires my cell number when they couldn't find certain backhaul locations in Houston, TX ................. I'm at the rally in Sturgis no less. :laugh:

TV Commercials, One that goes like this; Wife is laying/sleeping by the pool . The Husband comes running by cannon balls into the pool, And soaks the wife and then they both have a good laugh about it...
Real life that husband is dead....:gah:

The way the volume increases when the commercials com on. I already have enough hearing issues as is.

 

[paws]

Yes...volume!
thought they passed some kind of regulation or law a few years ago that they couldn't do that anymore. Seemed they were quieter for a while but in the last few months the commercials have really been coming on LOUD. We know they are excessively loud because we have hearing loss and we have to put the mute button on it's so loud.

 

[paws]

Further..re tv commercial volume..
Just looked it up.
The CALM act took effect December 13, 2012.
I think I might make a call to my local news stations to remind them. They are the worst offenders recently during their evening broadcasts.

That's what made me say it. Btw, I am waiting for TX to help with the cost of hearing aids. DRS has a program for working Texans that will co-op the cost.

People that wash dishes before puting them in a dishwasher

In my area, "goes" is replaced with "like".... "so he's like" and I'm "like" so then "well she's like".:xzqxz:
