Flying is horrible in general. As someone who is 6'4", my knees already get jammed into the seat ahead of me all flight then there's a 75% chance the asshole in front of me will recline their seat.

Wanted to punch this 5'4" dude in the face when he reclined the whole time on my flight to Seattle to Newark. People suck.

Gotta stretch out

Why?

yeah you are allowed two...?

And the airlines started charging for a checked bag. If I'm going on a 3 day trip, I'm not checking a bag. If any carry on stuff is a pet peeve of mine, it would be people who put two bags in the overhead and nothing under the seat.

90% of people who carry on 2 bags put them both in the overhead. Last time I flew, I saw someone carry on 4 bags and put them all in the overhead, of course, I was not allowed to carry on my bag, as I was one of the last ones to board and had to check the 1 bag I had. Since most people are awful, limit them to 1 bag.

I actually don't mind having to check at this point be you et it when you land anyway. But yeah, people like that are annoying.

Well, when I can't carry on 1 because some people are storing 2-3 bags in the overhead, it's a shitty system.

We've been cleaning out our basement and trying to declutter in general. We've given most of our stuff to goodwill but some of the stuff that's in newe new condition or has value we've been selling on a local "yard sale" Facebook page. It started out pretty well but lately when I post stuff I've been getting responses from people who say they are interested in buying it and then hit me up with a sob story and want me to just give it to them. Bugs the shit out of me because I feel like an ass for not giving it to them.

Pretty pissed about people who say they coming to your BBQ then bail on game-day. I bought/cooked all this GD food and you bail.

You don't get another invite.

generally agree with all of this - but the airlines have created this monster when they started charging for checked bags then started making priority boarding a circus of credit card miles and gold/silver/platinum levels.

Jr. High cheerleading set me back about $600, including shoes, pom poms, several t-shirts, camp, uniform alterations, and other stuff I can't remember.

that doesn't seem that bad

Kinda don't think I should have to pay for pom poms.

What are they going to shake if you don't?

money makers, ironically

Why does iMac ask whether I want to view or save a PDF if it's just gonna kick it to my desktop either way

People who stand in empty parking spots in a crowded lot.
