On my morning commute I have to head North on a side street and make a left turn at a standard four-way intersection onto a busy one-way East-West arterial. I put on my turn signal. Cars going directly South through the intersection (i.e., heading directly towards me on the side street) often, but not always, wait for me to turn instead of proceeding expeditiously through the intersection even though they have the right of way. If they would just go I wouldn't get hung up when the East-West traffic comes by again as often happens because I always have to wait to figure out if they're going to go or not since some of them do understand that they have the right of way. I hate to have a pet peeve against excessive misguided politeness, but there it is.

This shit happens a lot in Hawaii. By the triathlon shop where I train, there's a four-way intersection where the main arterial crosses a side street. The main street has no stop signs and the side street does--one on either side. People driving down the main street will slow down and even stop sometimes for people sitting at the stop signs, despite the fact it would've been quicker for those at the stop sign if Kimo Aloha would've just kept on driving through.

Okay, this gets weird.

I have an earworm right now, a song stuck in my head. It is, "I'm back in baby's arms. . ." That song.

So, my friend in college was allegedly really well endowed. His girlfriend described his. . . member as a baby arm.

Now imagine how inappropriate and upsetting it is to have that song stuck in my head.

Companies that fuck up and then take their sweet ass time to make it right. We have the Britax B-Agile stroller/carrier/car seat. The carrier goes from latching in the car as a seat, to latching in the stroller on receiver mounts. There was a recall on the mounts and they are to send new ones. I called to order our replacement parts on 2/20. It was nice outside that day so I also put together the new grill that we got from my in-laws. Coincidentally, the pieces that go on the bottom of the grill legs without wheels were cracked. I also called on those the same day as the stroller parts. Got my grill parts in less than a week. The stroller parts that are pretty essential for us right now for a $400 stroller that had a safety recall? Haven't heard a damn thing. I don't give a damn how many parts you have to ship out to fix your mistake. Get off your ass and send me my fucking stroller parts. Today, assholes.

Deliveries, service calls, etc. that think giving you a four hour window is an acceptable way to do business. Like I have 4 hours to sit around and wait for your ass to show up. Have you ever heard of routing software? Your company should be able to give a tighter time frame window based on routes and standard work or delivery time frames....
