- Rock Salt - In the 21st century, we have not yet found a better way to melt snow? It gets all over my car and tracked all over my hardwood floors. Despise it.
- Corporate Job Web sites - Whatever happened to just submitting my resume and cover letter? One of them had me fill out about a 100-question form before
I could cut, paste and reformatted my resume in a box in order to apply for their job opening. Then they sent me an e-mail thanking me for applying and
asked that I fill out another form. When that form was completed, I received another e-mail, thanking me for taking that step and it asks that I fill out
three more forms. I think they already owe me several days' wage. I think I may revert back to mailing my resume so that is stands out better.
- People who feel the need to block you in because you don't know local parking rules - So I'm visiting a friend and had only been there a few times. I park in a spot I think is safe. Come out later to find someone has totally blocked me in and there is no escaping for me. They could have parked elsewhere and simply left a note on my windshield informing me that I was in their usual spot. No need to keep me hostage. I've seen people do this in my development as well. If I see someone parking in the wrong spot I tell them. I don't park behind them, thus blocking them from leaving. If I see them do it more than once, their car gets egged.
- People who mistakenly text or call my phone - After having this cell number for about five years, I still get calls and texts for Eileen. I've made a game of it and often reply back with sarcastic or funny messages and texts. Some laugh and have fun. Others don't. Look. You got the wrong number, not me. I'm making light of your stupidity. If you know Eileen so well, how come you don't have the correct number for her after five years? Fuck you and get a sense of humor. So what if I told you she never wants to speak to you again after what YOU did to her.

Reading wordy posts?
I keed. I hate the salt thing too, but I do the absolute minimum so as not to be sued - I mean why should I bust myself when it'll melt in a couple weeks anyhow? Grow a set and learn to walk on a little ice ya babies! |

I hate it when fuses blow.
It would be nice to know the minute it happens, not the next day. Why can't they make that annoying beeping sound microwaves make? Esp when it's the heater thats used to prevent pipes from freezing that popped it. I haven't salted at all this winter. And I picked up some Sodium-Chloride (salt) so it wouldn't make my cats sick. I hope I get to use it, I'd like to know if its worth the extra $$$.. The flip side of that is having a driveway thats too long to shovel out. |

They don't salt here. It's an environmental hazard. They just sand the roads instead. Having formerly owned a car that spent its entire 10 year
existence in a city that exclusively uses salt, I'm glad they just sand it here. I'd rather my new car not be a pile of rust before it's paid off.
I'm from Milwaukee and I ought to know, it's Blatz, Blatz, Blatz, wherever you go!

Then sand the roads here, but not becuz its an environmental hazard.
I think they are too cheap around here, but hey, it keeps my taxes down. They do use the sand with the added salt only when its icey and only in the intersections. |
