What's outraging you today?

One of our garage bay doors at work is malfunctioning. And it’s pissing me off. 

Had a really important appointment with a prospective client at 10am. Wake up to 6 inches of snow and the expressways practically at a standstill. Wait til 9 to see if weathers improved at all—they haven’t. Call to reschedule. But now just 45 min later, the snow has stopped and the roads look to be getting better. 

Fuck me

This weather can GTFOH

My wife and kids use the restroom with the door wide open.  Annoys the living fuck out of me.  I don't understand why anyone would want to do this.  It's not so much as a matter of privacy (that IS important), but the respect for others.  No one wants to walk by and see you sitting on the loo.  No one wants to hear your business.  It's fucking gross.

I never shut the door in my apartment when I have to piss. I don't see the point

I'm being micromanaged by higher ups on the other side of the planet.

I have a boss I sit next to, a boss in Barbados, and a "boss" in Canada. And they all have differing needs. Certain time periods become unbearable.

The sales people piss me off by giving money away like it grows on trees. No one treats it like they would treat their own money.

My mother ate the last banana this morning with her breakfast. We also have apples and oranges. Since about 10am she's been complaining that there are no more bananas and she wants me to run down to the store and get her some. I told her no, that I'm not going to the store until tomorrow. So for the past five hours I've been putting up with the whining, the accusations (that I don't care what she wants), the tantrums and the moping. Then she forgets that she already threw some fits and starts them all over again. She's outraged that I won't go to the store today and get her some bananas.
I'm about ready to cave just to get some peace.

this might be the worst thing on here

I couldn't finish reading this article because it literally sickened me:

But from the first half that I read I have to wonder what in the actual fuck is wrong with people.

I posted in the Progressives thread --- sickening.

Hard to imagine there is any greater evil.  The governor (and other fucked up liberals) advocating for first degree murder.  Lock the son of a bitch up today.

Love you some globalism.

There ain't no F in bananas.

Never expected you to so blatantly take a pot shot at free market capitalism.

Keeping you guessing.

Although when one party engages in ‘semi-free’ capitalism and the counterparty does not, I am not sure what you call it.

Not hard to predict his positions.  Just google the issue and "Trump's view on" and you'll have what you need.

Their vagueness when asking for things is absurd. I swear they just want me to spin my gears for the hell of it to see if I will obey.

That you are, I'll admit.

If it's 'semi-free' only in how that aligns with national interests, I'd call it economic nationalism.  And frankly, it's not that different from socialism, other than the fact that one theoretically forces the economy to bend to the benefit of the masses while the other theoretically forces the economy to bend to the benefit to the national interests.  Notably absent is any emphasis on the individual, based on the value he actually brings to the market, determining his own benefit, which is how economic freedom is supposed to work.

Yeah, but that's boring.

If you're very sick, don't come into the office, especially if you can work from home.  Seriously, go fuck yourself.
