I started listening to Behind the Bastards a few months ago, and I can't remember hearing an ad for anything that wasn't another podcast on the I Heart Radio network.

I live with someone that fundamentally does not understand what answering machines do. They will see that there's a message, press play, and then pick up the handset and frantically shout "Hello?? HELLO!?!?!" as if the person is still on the line. Peeve because this is the fourth person I've known to do this.

Early 30s. When I try to explain that it's a recording, they deny that they pressed play.

Ugly In The Morning posted:This is why I Dont Even Own A Television, the F Plus, and Extra Credit are the only podcasts I listen to these days. I get my laughs at weird poo poo without anyone trying to sell me stamps or dildos. IDEOTV plugs their Patreon once an episode but that’s like twenty seconds of a 90 minute podcast. Thirty Twenty Ten is good for that, they promote an app a third of the way through, and plug their patreon at the start and end. Not bad at all for the length. Happy to chuck them five dollars a month for their content.

Whatever your opinion on Chapo Trap House( and oh boy do people have opinions) their format is perfect. One free episode a week with no ads and then an extra episode for patreon subscribers, and they make a poo poo ton of money.

People that don't put the little plastic divider behind their own stuff on the grocery line once they get to the checkout.

I kinda impulse-bought a ring online (not a wedding ring, just a simple little ring), and it reminds me that my fingers are terrible for ring sizing. My middle joint on my fingers are just wider enough than the rest of my fingers (it's hardly noticeable or anything), so usually what happens is that the ring is just ever-so-slightly too big when it's on, or ever-so-slightly too small going over the joint. Either thing is annoying.

A fun way to waste time on a long drive is to find a person who doesn't want to be passed for some reason, get next to them, and just gradually increase speed while they match you. Ideally they'll end up having to drop behind you to avoid ramming into a semi. My crowning achievement in driving was spending something like 60 miles between Portland and Seattle just watching this turd refuse to get passed and get more and more frustrated as he had to slow down and drop back. Then he'd catch up just in time for me to block him in behind another truck. It got to the point where I was actually laughing my rear end off while he was giving me the finger. Dude, just go the actual speed you want to go and I'll go the speed I want to go. We don't have to have anything to do with each other. Just to be clear we weren't full on racing up I-5 or anything, at best we were doing maybe like 70-75mph, he just really didn't want me to pass for some reason.

You should actually not do that and you seem like one of the only drivers I'd flip off Stay the gently caress away from weirdos on the road because the one instance they take their weird driving too far won't just hurt you, it's likely to hurt a dozen or more people unfortunate enough to be driving on a road that day Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 20:42 on Feb 21, 2020 |

What would you have me do instead? Go 90-100mph to try and lose him? Or go 60 in a 70mph zone and just suffer? edit: To be completely honest I totally agree with you that avoiding idiots is the best. That was a special circumstance that I couldn't resist exploiting. Inspector 34 has a new favorite as of 21:01 on Feb 21, 2020 |

All that previous stuff posted about passing and other drivers, combinded with the stretch of highway on my morning commute where I have about a mile after I get on to cross three lanes and exit on the left.

I live in Ohio, and I can't figure out what the gently caress is wrong with Ohio drivers. I swear, if the sky is just cloudy, they collectively slow down by 10 MPH for no reason, god forbid a few drops of water fall from the sky.

That's how it is in the south I've lived in the south where snow is a once-a-year affair and everyone freaks out I've lived in Ontario and Québec and New York where everybody muscles through snow most of the time I thought Ohio would be in the latter camp but wow it keeps sucking

It seems to especially love doing this one major roads. It'll label the little side roads that I don't give a poo poo about but not the main road I actually want.
