Shit that annoys you

[up an down]

Cereal still not coming in ziplock bags. Why is Big Cereal ignoring this obvious improvement?!

Montucky must be too busy to let you know that is a deliberate conspiracy by BIG CEREAL to make the cereal to go stale as soon as possible.

Lettuce in the bottom of the guacamole bowl should be outlawed.

+1. But that’s an easy one.

smell of someone burning leaves on a windy spring day

A lot of meat and fish now comes sealed with zero air space, which is great for quality but tough to open without cutting into the food.

The worst is when a package is supposedly designed to be easy to open--like the Coscto smoked salmon I opened yesterday--but the execution failed. So you spend time trying to open it the "easy" way and getting frustrated instead of just getting a scissors, saw or axe.

flexible knife and put it flat on a cutting board and only cut a little ways in. Skill issue here

You're missing the point. You shouldn't have to filet the packaging to get at the fish

You dumb fuck if you buy previously frozen fish and meat it’s better vacuum sealed, so is most of any major chain shit. If you don’t want it vac sealed spend the money for the good shit from a good market.

"Rehab" shows where people rehab old houses by gutting them to the studs. Why don't those assholes just buy a tract house with some nice gray lvp?

We used to be big fans of This Old House. Now, most of the projects are high end gut jobs. They did a nice job rehabbing a house in central Detroit a couple of blocks from the house I was a baby in but other than that, no. I watch because I still learn a lot but most of what I learn I couldn't afford if I want to update our house. (Anyone want to replace an asbestos covered gravity furnace with asbestos covered ducts with a heat pump?)

The annoyance is not with the packaging. It is with our incompetence in opening it. BTW--the best seafood is mostly frozen onboard ship, vacuum sealed frozen, and sold in (ziploc-style) plastic bags. I almost never buy the "fresh" fish in styrofoam trays wrapped in saran wrap. Maybe if you live someplace where you can buy fish that's right off the boat, but otherwise, stick to the excessively packaged frozen stuff.

That’s annoying? You give a fuck about that?

Yeah, when my wife cuts the bags so low that half of the cereal ends up in the box!

Thread Title is appropriate…

Four hours of sleeps…so I stumble to the can…and step in a fairly large volume of cat diarrhea.

Okay, I think this belongs in the “I love my wife, but…” thread.

At least it was on a floor and not on and in your shoes. Or the jeans you left on the floor beside the bed the night before.

My better half is going to go back to college to make a career change. Wildlife bio, she know's what she's getting into as I'm in a related field and some of our closest friends are biologists.

She told her mom over the phone last night and her mom's response was a confused "why?" followed by "you'll have to clean toilets" WTAF? and then no other discussion about it. WTF?

This was about an hour after my wife told me she's not looking forward to telling her coworkers because she doesn't want to deal with their smart ass comments about her going to school, to which I said fuck that, cut those petty fucks out of your life then if they don't offer you support.

Granted I'm sure her mom will come around but god damn, not the reaction my wife needed to hear.

Their franchises seem to be hit or miss. The one I go to here in Boise is great, but then there is another one in Boise that isn't very well run.

My wife does the scissors thing, but only just the little corner at the top. I suppose it's big enough for her to reach in with her little hands but not my big meat paws, so I tip the whole top off

I went to some kind of house party years ago and some psycho cut the chip bag right across the middle. Half the chips on one side. Half on the other. And then laid on the counter. It was maybe a presentation thing? It looked like stale chips to me.

These people live among us and I’m not comfortable with that.

And all these vac sealed meat packages I open with a sharp knife on a cutting board, usually the one I just used for veggies, etc. Lay it flat and trim the sealed edges off right next to the meat. Which isn’t interesting… you guys are pretty much making a competitive sport out of “pick a position and be a dick about it.”

Buttah--you do realize that you're the only one who actually takes this thread seriously, don't you? I can't imagine what it must be like to go through life with no sense of humor.

One interesting thing I’ve observed about people that don’t have a sense of humor is that they deny it. They just don’t see it.

You’re so fucking stale, every response is the same as the last one, take a nap, gramps. No sense of humor? You really have zero clue who I am.

You appear to be spot-on, given the current evidence.

I work at a ski shop at a hill in Vermont, all we do is laugh at all the assholes from the city.
