Oh yeah. Women that claim to be "porn stars" and don't do anal.
Things that piss you off

It pisses me off when I have an internal struggle with myself over something that shouldn't be very difficult at all. But I've been put in a pickle by others and I have to carefully navigate a way out of it.
So, back 30+ years ago I started a dealer's choice poker night with a group of guys. We've met several times per year since then (with an 18 month break during covid), and have always had 6 guys playing. The players have changed over the years (only 2 of us from the original group), but we still play. Poker night is scheduled for tonight. Last week, one of the guys tells us by text that there will only be 5 guys available, so his wife is going to fill in. Against my better judgement, I agree that it's fine. Do I want to appear to be a chauvinistic A-hole? Nope! Then, last night, the guy hosting says his wife's plans to make herself scarce during the game fell through. So she'll be playing too. As a bit of a joke, and hoping someone that feels the same as I do will jump in and ask the obvious question, I answer that my girlfriend wants in as well. Two of the guys then answer quickly and excitedly that I should bring her. What!?! It's a guys' night of poker, and drinking, and smoking cigars, and wildly inappropriate comments that we would never say in front of females. WTF!
So I agonize for a couple of hours about how to ask if we really want to do this. Do we all want to change poker night to a couples' event? How do I ask without sounding like a woman-hating jackwagon? And as soon as I ask, the two guys that will be bringing their wives will tell them that I'm playing, but under protest because I don't want them there. So then I have to sit at the table with these two tonight and wonder how much they hate me. And wonder if they think I'm a misogynistic, backwards, stuck in 1950s mentality, "women should be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen" type.
Look, I love women. Always have. I was raised by my mom. I've got a live-in GF. I was married for 20+ years, I have two daughters, two unofficial step-daughters, and a granddaughter. I've got no issues with women, and I treat them as equals.
So, I asked via text last night, saying that after tonight we should discuss it. Do we really want to do this? Do we want to change mens' poker night to a coed event? And now I'm pissed at the situation I've been put in, with no easy way out. This might not end well. And it pisses me off.

Snow on the ninth of April.
As someone who uses Facebook to get laid and nothing else, you are SO right about the filter thing. After the second time of basically being Catfished I've subtlety got them to show pictures of themselves now.
And I'm telling y'all, I've gotten laid more through Facebook than anything. It's so easy. Just send friend requests to women you'd sleep with and when they accept the requests go to work. Yeah you're gonna get rejected a lot but it's worth it for the amount of times it works. Stay strapped though. I know one guy who got set up, got the **** kicked outta him, and got robbed.
I lose my **** when people at work, especially those that are "above" you, use the Phrase: Are we having fun yet?
Ohhh boy, you're fitting to get throat punched for that. I think it's one of the most condescending phrases you can say to someone, especially when that someone is doing work for you. Whether it's a boss to a worker, or an uncle to a nephew, and everything in between. No, I'm not having fun doing work for you. I'm here to get paid.

A few more:
People that text or post on social media "Prayers", as if saying it helps.
People on social media that post "thanks for all the birthday wishes" when they received maybe 3, and then everyone follows up with "sorry for the late birthday wish". People just looking for attention.
People that can't allow anyone to post social media posts without blaming Biden or Trump on something. I don't care what side your on, but if someone says "I had fun on spring break" and you respond "We would have went on spring break too if Biden hadn't made the gas prices so high" you are an *******. Equally, when some posts "I'm sad because my aunt died of coronavirus" if you say "if Trump would have done......" then you are an ******* too.
I may have said this one before, but people that say "and it isn't even up for debate, or it isn't even close, or it isn't debatable." These people are simple minded and don't realize that people think different than they do, which is a good thing. Everything is debatable. That is what makes things work right. Free debate.

They should have a board dedicated to basketball for that? They could call it Cals corner, nah mad at Cal, Pitinos prostitute, not PC, Rupps Rafters, there we go
Good. Drink a few more and lighten up some. Don’t litter and I have no problem with your beer drinking.
I’d rather smoke weed or drink bourbon if I have to consume alcohol, but to each his own.
It wasn't any dudes. They just looked way different in person without the filter. After second time I ended that **** and made sure to get current pics. I'm telling y'all it's money a lot more than you think. Just try it and see.
One more. People that use apostrophes when talking about their family. For instance. Happy Easter from the Johnson's. What are the Johnsons claiming ownership of relating to Easter?
On a similar note, people who say 90's when talking about a decade instead of '90s. The apostrophe should be before the number because it's replacing the "19" that is missing.
-People who back into parking places.
-Every person I’ve ever been behind in a convenient store that buys cigarettes and/or lottery tickets.
-pace car drivers in the left lane who refuse to move over even after you have flashed them (move your *** over)
-lazy *** people who leave shopping carts in the adjacent parking spot (death penalty offense)
-lazy piss poor parking jobs (how effing hard is it to park your car and not take up two spots)
-random people who don’t bother to say thank you when you hold the door open for them (guess I should should bow or kneel in their presence)
-hearing someone complain to the server about everything, the meal, the service, all in an effort to get their meal for free. Keep your asses home.
As someone earlier stated, I could keep going but my blood pressure is rising so I’ll just stop now

People that get mad over things they have no control over...
...oh wait, nevermind
...oh wait, nevermind
Gotta ask: what about people who back into a parking spot pisses you off? Genuinely curious.-People who back into parking places.

90% of the time, if not more, it is much easier to pull into a parking space normally. The times it ticks me off is when I’m sitting and having to wait on someone as they maneuver themselves to back into a spot and I’m just sitting there when they should already be parked and me well on around them. Just never understand why people think it’s so difficult backing up out of a space. You back up when it’s clear and hold no one up.
Gotcha. Yeah, I get that and try to be considerate of other drivers. I will back into a spot if I can because it is often easier to see traffic, but I won't if I see someone coming so as to prevent the situation you speak of.
I do it mainly because it's become difficult for me to turn my head after I had neck surgery several years ago.
The level of rudeness and total disregard for others sharing the road has just become worse. It used to be that people were kind and considerate, and some still are thankfully.
Thanks for the reality check. Not sure I ever thought of the neck angle. Certainly times I’ve had a crick in my neck not making it easy to look around as you indicate, so definitely understand that. While I know this isn’t the reason a lot of people choose to back into spots it at least sheds some light as to a very plausible reason some, like yourself, do. Thank you!!!!!
People that say "........ain't walking through that door."
People that say "living rent free in your head." Perhaps they are living rent free in my head.

FedEx is now three days later with some expensive comics I ordered, but while I was out, the USPS dropped off a package the size of a small refrigerator with a name and address that doesn't even remotely resemble mine. Whatever it is, it looks like the box was mauled in transit.
Good God yes. I went into a convenience store to grab a water and a pack of crackers for my drive home once. Got stuck behind TWO back to back. First one was lotto and wanted to pick his own numbers. Then it was a lady trying to describe a brand of cigarettes that she didn’t know the name of. Me inside: RAGE. What should have takent 2 minutes took nearly 8. Ugh.
I used to go bananas when working retail. People would walk carts alllll the way into the front doors. And leave them. Like WTF. Thank you but you could walk the remaining three feet and put it back in the corral? You LITERALLY just did a half favor. Now I have to had in my foyer and trigger my counter which alters my counts for the day. Ugh.
I’ll never understand the ******** who can’t park. Drives me nuts.
I sarcastically say “You’re welcome” now when people don’t acknowledge the door holding. Rude. So damn rude. I mean at least look and me and flip me off. That at least acknowledges my presence. Same thing for when you say “Thank you” to someone and they just walk off. Like dang.
Yeah, the treating servers like crap thing is immediately how I know who you are. Especially if I’ve seen the entire meal. Says a lot about who you are as a person when you 1) crap on someone beneath you so to speak and 2) someone you can mess with your food. Like why would you be the jerk and/or risk having food messed with. Will never understand. Just be a good person to those people because it’s the right thing to do.
Emotionals who make up crap about you and your position in a debate because they have nothing else
Are you taking about ones that guaranteed Sharpe is staying?
