Annoyances

[SixFeetDeep]

you guys know me better than I know myself.

[MBGreen]

yeah I was a line cook in restaurants but that was just my job through college. I work in an industrial/manufacturing engineering role for a company that designs airplane jet engines. but like I've said I just sit at my desk trying every way humanly possible to not do anything productive

sounds like a gov't job.


You should apply to the gov't...you'd make more money doing nothing.

Before my family moved into the house that became my childhood home, it was previously owned by a Korean family. We found an old dried up fish behind the oven - I guess they somehow let one fall back there and never bothered to get it out.

Did it smell?

Christ. I've known you fuckers for a long time.

Well the whole house smelled so I'm not sure that they noticed.

I had to work on a project in middle school with this Korean kid whose parents were first generation.  I literally threw my clothes away after because the smell was so bad.  I didn't want it to get on my other clothes in the laundry.  In hindsight, I should have just asked the kid's parents if they knew someone who could take care of it.

It feels like you're a Chinese citizen by now

I need to stop using deodorant.

[Miamipuck]

freak that excrement. The Chinese don't believe in deodorant.

The ones that used to fish on the long range boat used to shower fifty freaking times. I swear the Captain would have to shower ban them because those fuckers would use all the fresh water.

The Japanese are a pristine people.

The Japanese are a pristine people.

They don't consider themselves Asian, so they don't count.

UPS pissed me off. I ordered some garden decoration on Amazon for Mother's Day last week, it was supposed to arrive on Thursday. UPS refused to leave the package without a signature, so they left one of those slips on the mailbox. So I signed the back of the slip and left a post-it note on the front of it asking them to leave the package. So what do they do on Friday? Refuse to deliver it again and just slapped a second slip on top of the first one.

Tracking says they're not retrying again until Monday, so now this is no longer a viable Mother's Day gift. I ended up going to Home Depot on Sunday morning and buying something similar, and that worked out fine. I figured UPS would flub the third attempt and I'd be able to tell Amazon to take it back.

So what does UPS do? They freaking leave it by the door on Monday. They managed to not deliver it the two days that would have been fine, and delivered it on the only day that was too late.

The best return option was for a UPS pickup (only other option was lugging this thing to a UPS store) so who the hell knows how this will work out. I'm sure they'll try to swing by at 10 AM when no one is home.

wow. was it valuable? UPS left a 40 inch LED TV propped up next to my garage last month.

Not really, which is why I really wanted them to just leave it the first time.
