Pet Peeves

[meow meow]

was actually just thinking about what i'm going to do tonight at my daughter's outdoor practice, take a walk or go grab a drink somewhere

I totally agree. I am not always in the mood to socialize at soccer with other parents. Have had some great discussion and some brutally awkward ones. Sometimes I just want to watch my kid and listen to a podcast. Sometimes I drop them and go do something else. Sometimes I am kicking a ball and warming up my other kid.

But sitting in your car on your phone is so bleak it makes me want to like completely re design my life to eliminate technology.

"Last Christmas" sang by anyone other than Wham! on my holiday music stations.

Tom, normally i agree with all of your opinions but I have to say I prefer Leslie Odom Jr’s version. Vocals are smoother than buttered silk.

Have we talked about the use of the term “gifted”. As in “we gifted my mom a digital picture frame…”. When did we do away with “gave” or “got a present”. Maybe if you are talking about massive tracts of farmland or huge portfolios of stocks it fits but it just seems kind of pretentious in a lot of the places where it gets used these days.

Corner cabinets with rotating shelves. I get the idea, but hate it when I have to get something. Ugh.

You mean a lazy Susan?

YES

We would have a huge storage space crisis in our kitchen without the lazy Susan but it drives me nuts when the lids for 9 x 13 pans get trapped behind the Lazy Susan and block the whole works.

we got one of these thingamabobs. works pretty well for the most part, but brother? let me tell you, if something falls off one of those shelves it might be the biggest PITA OAT trying to get back there to retrieve it.

brother I say this out loud to anyone near me whenever I see an image or video of one

I can't deal when an app I use regulary has even a tiny change to the icon

Dip type containers with an upward facing indention in the bottom. I think this is for stacking purposes but I break a lot of rough ridin' crackers trying to get the last layer of hummus out of the container.

Started reading that thinking spit cup and it ended a lot differently than I was anticipating.

When they switched the KS Turnpike/I-70 toll from pay in person to online my account got messed up somehow. I have two vehicles and they only have one vehicle on that account. When I log in to pay my bill it says I don't have any charges so I have to wait until I get the mailed statement and pay an extra $1.50 or something and I can't set up autopay because my account doesn't actually get charged. 

I've tried to add my other vehicle to my account but it says that the license plate is associated with another account but there is no way to request that account info/password reset etc. Both vehicles are registered to me at the same address and I just don't want to spend 30 minutes on the phone with the KS Turnpike to get it all figured out.

Get Mrs8 your information, and she'll straighten that crap out in 15 mins.  She is incredible at working the KDOt helpline.

Sorted out our multiple vehicles/same account conundrum lickety split.

Have we discussed people who don't understand the most basic manners for school music concerts?
Sit still.
Be quiet.
Make the kids who are with you sit still and be quiet.
Do not get up and move around during a song unless you believe that you are having a medical emergency that would cause you to die in the next ten minutes.

The last time I called them for this issue the lady was extremely helpful and polite. You do sales calls, you will be fine.
