The wife and I 6 months ago booked a river cruise down the Danube, was going to be great, visit Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. We are set to leave 2 days from now.

Saturday morning we got a call, cruise is cancelled, not enough water in the river. Can't control mother nature, I understand that but did the water disappear overnight? You couldn't give us more than a couple days notice?

Luckily we used a travel agent who worked some magic and switched us to a cruise that goes solely through France, we only had to eat about $300 on flight cancellation. Today we get a call that the original cruise is back on if we wanted it. Did that region get 6 feet of rain the past 2 days? How is that possible?

We'd have to eat about $1200 on flights/hotels if we switched back so France it is.

Side annoyance, my goal in life is to visit 25 countries, currently up to 11. I've already been to France, have never been to the other 4. Oh well.

Joe Pesci was right - "They screw you on the Danube"


/On topic, that sucks Nasty, but it should be a nice cruise through France.

That sucks. I hope you have fun on this one. Want to adopt a middle aged son?

I am going on a cruise to Bermuda later this month, now is the time I am starting to watch hurricanes. We usually do something cheaper but its been a rough couple of years (RIP Firefly) so I wanted to do something stress free and just enjoyable - I can be from my house to being on the ship in an hour or so so no real travel or travel stress.

I'd prefer the three days in Bermuda, but will be satisfied if the ship has to detour somewhere else warm.

Chewy.com tv commercials.

Why the f**k do they have a door bell ring? Are they just sick people or do they really not care that your dog will go nuts everytime that commercial comes on.

People that go into a dollar store, but a little over 2 dollars worth of items and pay with a $100 bill - Happened to me today, of course the cashier doesn't have change, so she has to go bug the other cashier and it slows down everyone. Hey, I'll buy your two chocolate bars next time tubby just to keep the line moving.

There was a douche bag sitting 2 bar stools down from me last night blasting nonsense on his cell phone. The rest of us are trying to watch the game but this idiot thought it was perfectly all right to make the rest of us listen to videos he was watching. He didn't keep it up for long once someone said something but who the fuck does that? Put on your god damn earphones ya spoiled, entitled twat!

as opposed to staying in one for a full day, so you can actually do some stuff?

That ESPNhl never covers basketball!!!


Also, a couple days ago a ladies' dog jumped up on me and she said nothing. First off, about 2/3 of dog owners are awful and never fully train their animals. Dogs are practically asking for their will to be broken and are SO easy to train if you do it properly. Second, if the dog does jump up on someone, you should at a minimum acknowledge that persons existence and more likely apologize for the dog since it may be dirty, people may be terrified of dogs, it's' just a nice thing to do, etc.

After looking around on Wednesday I ordered my lovely wife a Winnipeg Jets Mark Sceifele* jersey for $169. It was high but I was ok with it. Now for the last two days I'm getting ads and emails listing it for $119. I just lived chatted with Kathy from NHL.com and she won't adjust my price. And even though it's not a personalized item, it's "too far along" to cancel. So now I either have to not be bothered by the price difference** or reorder it and send the first one back. Somehow I see that ended up in this household having matching Scheifele jersets.

Yeah I know it's probably my fault for ordering something days before black Friday, but I don't really pay attention to that stuff. Wendy from HR has a ton of coupons/ads (and a pair of panties) in her second from the bottom desk drawer so I know some people do, just not me.




*Sure to be traded now

**I don't seem like the type of person who gets bothered do I?

Dickheads who get out of their cars/truck then push their remotes from 50 feet away to make their horn blast.

Gimmie a fuckin break you assholes.
Hit your fucking power door locks and trust that they work.

You think people do it to show off their horn?

Yes....they want peeps to look at them. " hey everyone..look at me " .... fucking dooshbags.
Only thing that's worse is when they hit it multiple times. Fuckin assclowns.

I'm almost positive most people do it to make sure their doors are locked. I don't think anyone has thought it was cool to have their car honk from locking since maybe 2002.

So you think they hit their power door locks,THEN hit the remote to check that they worked?
Bullshit, you must be one of 'em that do that fucked up shit.

People use their remote to lock their doors because it's impossible to lock your keys in the car if you lock it from the outside. It isn't necessary to use the power lock when you have a remote.

My car doesn't even honk when I lock it. I am just using logic here.
