However, I do love the catharsis of having a cop turn on his lights behind you, only to pull over the person in front of you. The relief is beautiful.

Finally an entire family walking a dog; the kids saw me and pulled their dog over, but dad/grandpa was strolling casually way over on the right staring at his phone. Never looked up and no one ever said dad, look out. Actually had to come to a stop and kind of straddle-walk the bike past them, this time saying "eyes up!" as I rode off.

    And I wasn't flying up on these people either. Just more instances of inconsiderate people not being aware of their surroundings or how a walking/biking path works.
    Still beats riding on a 55mph road. I just fixed my Trek 4300 that I was trying to sell up...brakes and derailleur calibrated, oiled, etc. Went out for a ride, second time ever, I ride facing traffic on the shoulder, an asshole goes to pass a car turning left on the shoulder...nearly hit me. Legally, I'm supposed to ride the same direction as traffic...naw, fuck that. I'd be dead.

The postal service's tracking always seems more vague or like it'll have no updates for a few days then suddenly the past 4 events get added at once. Then there's FedEx for some reason half the time handing your package off to the USPS, "please allow an additional 1-2 days for delivery."

    But in spite of all that, I just realized that most of the time, if I'm the one shipping something, I go to the post office
    USPS tracking mail doesn't get sorted from the regular mail, so it usually doesn't get scanned.

    When 2 people shopping together block the fucking aisle at the market. One is usually riding a scooter looking at jams...the other is Counting how many kit kats come on the big bag of them, and neither will move. No idea someone wants to get through. Fucking assholes

    I saw a couple trying to figure out which box of microwave popcorn to get at Wegmans for literally 5 minutes... which is obviously an eternity in a grocery store on a Saturday when standing in the same spot.

    It's regional so of course everybody will just vote for their local grocery store just like me.

    But honestly, Wegmans is the best.

    There are AandP's in Albany now? Grand Unions? Holy shit. When I last lived there 2005, it was Hannaford and Choppers mainly. And I thought Grand Union went out of business....all of them did back home (Sullivan County).

    As someone who lives in an area that doesn't have Wegmans, I can say without bias that Wegman's is the best grocery store I've ever been to.

    Publix is overpriced...but they're the only place I know about around here to get Boars Head, which is also overpriced, but like deli crack. I have been to Wegmans...reminds me of Bloom, a Food Lion offspring around here. Basically a fancy ass grocery store with a nice dining area and robust sections...almost like Whole Foods but a little more reasonably priced. Correct me if I'm off.

    Only people from the South will appreciate this. I walked into a Bi-Lo for the first time in months a few weeks ago and I saw Chek Cola...I did a double take. Chek cola was a staple of my childhood...and a Winn-Dixie product. Then I discovered Bi-Lo bought out WD from bankruptcy. I thought I was in bizarro world for a second.

    Your right Defcon, Hannafords and Price Chopper...GU and A&P were long ago......and Boars Head is definately Deli crack.....Publix is good if you load up on BOGO's

    Having to go to church.

    Typically I would just refuse but it's my niece's baptism and I'm the Godfather.

    Thought it was just going to be the baptism ceremony but found out we have to sit through a sermon first. Ugh.

    Also irritated that the Jesus freak family that insisted upon this ceremony didn't come to it.
    This filthy atheist flew in to Colorado from Texas for it.

    When people complain about having to go to the Christening of their niece.

    Mass is a little over an hour, deal with it and enjoy your family for Christ's sake.

    Nothing wrong with complaining about religion. I could go all atheist if I wanted to, but don't want to start a god damn Holy War.

    Right, there's nothing wrong with advocating for it either, which isn't what I'm doing. I also didn't say he couldn't complain about religion in general either.

    What irritated me was the fact that he was complaining about the fact that he had to sit with his family in a church for an hour for his niece/god daughters christening.

    I'd rather spend that hour talking with my family, as opposed to sitting there quietly, listening to that nonsense.


    The baby didn't seem to enjoy it either. She cried the whole time.
