@northsouthdenimguy this is valid. Also they hit me with the "must be home to sign at 2PM" fairly often with no explanation. I may be the only one on earth, but I've had unusual success with DHL.

I had to go to the social security office today for an appt with my wife. Drove and and hour there and back. Wife realized when we got home she left her phone. So we drove another hour there and back. I just got home. To my credit, I was nice the whole time and didn't make one comment. She felt awful enough.

For our UK friends, Social Security is the US version of the DWP there, but they cover all sorts of personal data issues.

@northsouthdenimguy I had the same issue with fedex. Said they attempted delivery and never did. I asked them to hold it at the distribution center so I could pick it up. Went there and they said it was out for delivery but they told me to call customer service and the guy read off the website tracking information. Then it got delivered at about 9pm the next day. I feel your pain haha

Probably my biggest apolitical rant of the modern world:

Headlights and every-other-bastard's exterior residential lights have gone too far. Shit is fully mental now. When I am king, lumen limits and light-shielding requirements will be strictly enforced.

[motojobobo]

As king, I’m going to have a go at all vehicle horns. Planning a tiered, progressively higher, excise charge for those annoying honks.

Our new Subaru not only has a self dimming rear view mirror but side mirrors. Not that I drive at night much now that I’m old but I have always hated the lights reflecting from the side mirrors.

@Matt I came here expecting a meltdown and this is what I get? Disappointed in you!

[sabergirl]

Whaddya want?! He’s just an old guy, now

[Tago Mago]

Kinda like Abe Simpson

[Matt]

That’s how I feel sometimes.

The cream is all gone.

@Matt I hated this when stopped at a light, I would try to angle my mirrors so it reflected back at the driver behind me, mostly gigantic trucks.

[Chap]

Fuck ... she should not have done it with a ruptured cruciate ligament...

[Anesthetist]

@Chap I can see why she pushed herself but this is devastating. I hope she’s ok.

[sabergirl]

Truthfully, I can’t understand how it got to this point. Where were the trainers and doctors? Surely someone advised her that she may do irreparable damage to her body in terms of like, basic mobility?! I really hope she’s okay, but I also question her sanity.

Yeah of course, would have been the most brilliant end of her career…

@sabergirl this. Plus, the actual winner Breezy Johnson and the two medalists Emma Aicher and Sofia Goggia are relegated to an afterthought and don't get the acclaim and attention they deserve.
