OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Meanwhile, you've idiots trying to merge left from 2-3 lanes way into those turn lanes.

Sometimes design leaves you no choice.

I give you the Gardiner Expwy. exit to downtown Toronto. Below is the before, where a loop ramp from eastbound exited directly onto York Blvd. northbound (ramp is on the right):



Annnnnd here's after they demo'd the ramp and built a new one a few hundred feet before the intersection merging on the right and forced anybody trying to enter downtown to merge all the way to the single left lane you can make a turn from:



Good fucking luck lol

@sabresfaninthesouth loves the Gardiner Expressway

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Haha, sure do.

Here at home we've also got Interstate 277. Despite being only 4.4 miles long, it has 13 exits. A few of the greatest hits are the one that requires a U turn at the end of the off ramp, and the one that requires you to cross three lanes of traffic in a half block to get to the street advertised on the exit.

It's also got NC's most structurally deteriorated bridge, so it would feel like home for any Torontonians.

I hate the new microwaves that have a Reheat button that immediately pops up "How many ounces?" How the fuck do I know? I don't have a food scale in my kitchen.

Well, who's fault is that?

I'm fluent in either, but I'm old school with microwaves. I just set a time and push start.

Whoever decided to use Allen wrenches/hex keys to put together small pieces of furniture instead of normal screws, nuts/bolts can die a slow painful death

When I buy an Allen wrench, I expect them to include a piece of furniture with it.

You should have had the foresight to be a bicycle obsessed geek since 13 years old like me. That way you would have 14 allen wrenches for every screwdriver in your toolbox.

People who cannot read the words "No Soliciting" on the sign above the doorbell they just pushed. On a meeting with my company's chief legal and chief human resources officers and the doorbell goes which of course makes the dog go apeshit. Had to excuse myself to find some guy who is "working with my neighbors" and isn't "soliciting" he just wants to sell me carpet cleaning services.

One of these days, I am letting the dog go.

When I am done with meetings I am ripping the fuck out of the company he works for.

we disconnected our doorbell for that reason. they ignore the sign. but what they have been doing lately is pounding on the door when the door bell doesnt bring someone to the door.

Same. When I put the ring doorbell up I didn't wire the doorbell to it. So the only thing that happens is the alert on my phone.
So if/when I decide to give them the time of day the only thing that comes out of my mouth is "fuck off".

NOTE: I swear we get about a roofer per day. They are like vultures, every time a storm comes through they come to your door like clockwork.

My dog is a pushover and a complete spaz. She just wants to meet people. If I released her, she would just jump on the person and lick them and try to get them to play.

Her bark sounds like death is imminent.
