I'm laughing way too much at this.

Working remotely a bit today. Sitting at Starbucks in a grocery-anchored shopping area.The number of folks driving up to the fire lane instead of parking is just amazing. Leaving kids in the car with the car running, not just picking up, but ordering and waiting. And all this while a towing company is just sitting picking off cars (guess folks are playing the odds it won't be me). And there are a ton of parking spots less than 15 feet away.

running late to the soccer banquet. i've the laptop with the background slideshow. i was on time.. annoyed. no reason to speed out of the cul desac. too fast, hit the curb. two flat tires. had to back up down the hill to the driveway. fcuk! move everybody over to the other car. get to the hs. everything running late and still made it on time. stupid. haven't learned. stupid reaction. childish. two new tires, lets hope no other damage, although alignment is likely needed. fcuk. will spend my morning dealing with it. hopefully not the whole day. way too much to do this weekend and need the big suv. what a tool. totally not necessary. i consciously speed up and missed the turn by 6".. guess that will be be about $1500 w tow (although going to hope i can get AAA out here tomorrow.) stupid. how old am i again? the whole family in the car. missus was freaked out. 17yo .. no clue what he thinks. at least the other two had no clue. what an idiot. and now i'm out of scotch. fcuk! that 8am meeting comes soon!

Sorry man. That's a rough one to self-reflect on.

I did manage to do that to a car once before while traveling abroad - I can only find a vague reference to it. I guess I was too pissed/embarrassed to expand.

That sucks.

I hit a curb and blew out a tire, No fun whatsoever.

I've done it too. And my son did it a few months ago.

so yeah, that was pretty stupid of me. i hi the curb on the next house up the culdesac because i was pissed off and wanted everyone to know it. stupid.
dealer doesn't have the tires, nor did costco.. but mavis does.. price is similar for all three, but mavis is closer. AAA took the car this morning, should b ready in a few hours.. hopefully no other damage (didn't seem like it when i went over it this morning) ..so won't be too bad (suv tires are expensive!!)

Ugh that sucks, Flaco.

So you're looking for postcard addressing guidelines from USPS and this is what they give you



so helpful

Is there a more frustrating experience in modern life than trying to log into a site and it tells you the password is wrong. So you click Forgot Password, have it send you code, you type in the code, and then it prompts you for a new password. You enter a new password and it then says OK, log in now ... only to have it tell you that you that the new password is wrong!!

I can't tell if something went wrong in the pasting, if their fucking system is too slow and hasn't updated to the new password yet, maybe the userid is not my email ...

This regularly happens on a few sites and it makes me want to strangle their developers.

I would vote for almost any candidate who ran on a platform of universal password requirements.
