Accurate. Great blower.

My “shit” neighborhood doesn’t have driveways like my last shit neighborhood.

Me and scaffolder talking about tattoos....scaffolder: "why would anyone get a tattoo of their ex wife's name? I wouldn't even get my wife's, let alone my ex wife's......."

Me: " I gotta go."

My peeve. Clueless individuals/scaffolders/people maybe I dunno. I lost brain cells listening to this guy.

I mean.. Most tattoo places won't tattoo a name unless it's a kid or parent.

LoL!!!
One of my best friends is a Scaffold Foreman or Supe or whatever faggoty names they give bosses, and he's quite intelligent and funny. But, Holy fuck - are there ever a lot of dumb scaffolders!!! Like, frighteningly dumb!

I think that a great way to get ahead in life is to be smart but choose to work outside of your peer group. If you're an engineer working with a bunch of other engineers, you're doing it wrong. Go run a grocery store and watch yourself get wildly promoted. Increase the chance that you're most often the smartest mofo in the room.
Instead, the smartest engineer in the Eng. Co. is some circus freak worth negative-zero social skills who acts smug but has to pay for handjobs because he's a circus freak. Yet he might be your boss.

Absolutely fantastic for that time between 9pm and 11pm when every guy in the hotel is all trying to watch porn at the same time, so the hotel wifi gets wrecked.

This is a newer version of the one I have, only $50 https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N5RCZQH?...g=dotdashca-20

Just bought one, will report on how it goes

Last camp I was at had an ethernet plugged into the TV. Not at camps very often but one hotel we frequent is kinda like a camp, and it defo has ethernet plugs as well as CRT televisions so might try it there too :rofl:

People who parallel park outside their home but have an inability to use a shovel and shovel the snow out so they can park close to the curb.
Instead, just park where they won't get stuck. Hoping your mirrors don't get popped off.

lol my neighbors were doing that on our road, because they didn't shovel the whole drive way. Literally in taking up 3/4 of the actual traffic lane :rofl:

also further to my plow complaint, the plow completely covered the side walk on about 6-700m of our road... other side from me though, poor saps. Like the blade was on the curb essentially lol

In my old neighborhood people loved to shovel all their snow from the sidewalks or driveways into piles on the street. Nothing on their lawns, everything on the street where people might park. Then about half of them would try and park between piles, or angled out from the piles which put them into the street. Thankfully the streets were decently wide but it was still retarded.

lol, we're out of options in my neighborhood, and the plow makes a wall anyway.

Pretty sure someone banked off one of the piles lost control and hit the street light across from my house last week too haha

Plows should be illegal on residential streets. Cause more problems than they solve.

Like

When a customer calls you to go over an email they "just sent" but it hasn't shown up in your inbox, and you don't know if it's because they made a typo in the email address, or if there's a problem with their email server (unlikely) or if there's a problem with your email server (much more likely sadly) or if there's some kind of larger telecom outage somewhere that's messing things up. And you don't want to make it a huge hassle for the customer, but you really can't do shit about it on your end, so you agree to discuss with them later "when the email comes through", which makes it sound like some kind of old-timey pigeon messenger system, and the whole situation is embarrassing, and you have enough reasons to be embarrassed in your professional life.


Yeah I hate that.
