OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

Of the PB/cream cheese concoction, or me in the hospital bed with the hives I'd have from eating the concoction?

Why not both?

Having pneumonia

How are you feeling?

How are you feeling?

Lot better, thanks for asking. Antibiotics are wreaking havoc on my stomach, and I have been walking around a cybersecurity conference the last 2 days so I'm pretty tired. But a lot better than I did earlier in the week.

Sites that take forever to load.

I had the perfect joke about that ship being stuck in the Suez Canal, but by the time they site came up it's not timely anymore

Perfect storm of working at home with an unemployed (hopefully not for long) spouse. She usually does a project or two a day but is mostly bored, which I get, but I can't really help with that.
So what I get is "conversations" like:

after sitting on the couch with her having coffee for maybe half an hour then going upstairs to begin work, maybe 3 minutes later she comes into the office, sits, and asks "Hey how's work today?"

walking to the kitchen with a cup in my hand "getting some water huh?"

walking across the hall to the bathroom "whatcha doing?"

I usually don't go into the office on Mondays. I actually volunteered to go in this Monday.

Good news and good news. My wife is in Texas visiting family this week and got a job, which she starts two days after she gets back. So the inane questions (thirsty huh?) will be stopping for a while.

My favorite exchange was her asking if I needed any help with work. I was working on something that was a bit above my knowledge level (I got thrown on this team suddenly 4 years ago and am still learning) and my coworker was out sick. I mentioned to her that I cannot complete that task until he is back. She asked twice if she could help me.

She was being nice but it was hard to resist answering "you know what, maybe a completely untrained set of eyes is exactly what this project needs".

Good part at the end of both videos

People who cut through parking lots instead of going down the lanes. I had three cars in one parking lot do that to me at lunch. And the one person had the audacity to get pissed at me as they almost pulled out and hit my car.

I know the original meaning was different but I call these people Essoasso's. Yes I used to watch NNTN and sniglets were always great.


And @forty_three will appreciate this one. Jeeps, any raised jeep with big wheels on it and they spray all the mud and water all over the place due to their oversized tires. Got caught behind one today. I don't issues per se with folks doing this, even though as you notice most of the time people do this and NEVER take the thing off road, but the total disregard for others is what makes them some of the most obnoxious folks on the road.
