OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

[mattola]

The amount of maintenance you have to do on a traeger is both amazing and unbelievable.. I've barely used it and followed all precautions and it's been an absolute lemon of a smoker .. I'll never get another

Paint pealing at 450
Auger jamming constantly
No smoke
LeR error when pellets are full

Just garbage

I've got a cheap VW Jetta. I live in Delaware. But, the car is a freakin' hothouse. I live in a relatively new development. Most people fill their garages with junk and park in their driveways, and they seem to have designed the landscaping to avoid any shade anywhere.

Then, I think the police have banned tinted windows. Nobody has them, which means my car is an oven if I just want to go to the grocery store. Why? Most people in Delaware are nearing retirement, not out doing drugs. Give us a break.

When they change the coffee supplier, and there is no longer a hot chocolate option.

Is it liquid? I'd probably, probably, be OK with it as long as its a liquid. The powder is awful.

For me - my work location has two boxes of K-cups. Regular and decaf. And a lot of times they would run out. However if I had to do something in one of our other locations the cantinas on all four floors have a dozen or so K-cup options. Different blends, flavors, teas, hot chocolates, teas, and ciders.

I am thinking I was hit with a brushing scheme, where you have unwanted packages delivered to your address so vendors can give themselves a high rating to boost sales.

I received an alert from FedEx yesterday that a package was being delivered today from a Walgreens approximately 12 miles from my house.

I got the package today, and it was a 4 x 6 photo of this




WTF is this all about?!?

The package had my correct name and address and inside was a Walgreens ship from store slip with an order number and a name of Danielle Swift.

Could be a test to see how quickly you retrieve packages from your mailbox or porch before having something important sent there that they don't want sent to their own address.

At my last job we had a ring of people ordering debit cards on old people's accounts and having them sent all over Atlanta. They were testing the addresses by sending nonsense according to the local PD we worked with. They'd send something to an address, see how long it sat, and then if it was a long while they'd send a debit card there and grab it before the owner of the house got it.

Having the correct name is a bit odd, though.

Sorry, I was just goofing around.

Several months ago on LinkedIn, I saw someone comment on a connection's post and their name was the same as someone I went to High School with. I went and looked at their profile, and as my luck would have it, I was logged in to my real LinkedIn account, and they are a Premium member, so they know I looked.

Turns out, they are not my friend from High School, but a salesperson from a security widget vendor. Almost immediately, they sent me a message on LinkedIn. I ignored it. They sent one each the next few days, so I blocked them.

Just got an email from the person at my work email address, which is not tied to my LinkedIn in any way, but if you know my real name it's not hard to figure out.

Someone is about to get a lesson in taking a hint. Because I happened to stumble across the personal email address of the founder of their company.

Literally had this happen to me 3 times today. When I approach a stop light and need to get into the turning lane but the person in front of me, who has at least car lengths room, won't move up and blocks the lane.

I think that is taught in Pittsburgh drivers Ed classes

Because you can't see over the hood of the Jeep, you need to leave space.

Local restaurant advertises a $7.95 lunch special, you can choose from 6 different Burgers, sandwich, pasta or soup and 1/2 sandwich.

Doesn't include drink which is $2.95 and you must order a drink.

Special only good for dining in customers.

So....7.95 plus 2.95 plus .82 cents for tax plus $2.34 tip at 20% = grand total of $14.06. Almost double the cost of the advertisement that drew me in.

I know this isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it still drives me crazy.

Had not yet pulled the trigger on the "contact the boss" thing.

Probably should have as the mutual contact we have just reached out to me from nowhere trying to get me in touch with the salesperson.

Wife and kids are glued to their phones except when you send them a text that needs a timely response.
