When I casually go to untie my shoes, and by some crazy, random act of gravity the end of one lace went through the loop before I pulled on it. The result is some Gordian knot of epic proportions that cannot be untied, no matter how much I fuss with it. I wouldn't have been able to tie such a knot on purpose if I tried!

It went along the lines of

Me: My default payment option is not being used. I have followed the support article to set my default.
Them: Here is a support article to set your default payment
Me: I already followed that, the payment is already set correctly, it just is not being used.
Them: OK, we understand, what you need to do is set your payment option as default, here is an article explaining how to do that.
Me: I already did that, it isn't working
Them: we checked your default payment and it is set correctly.
Me: OK then why isn't it working
Them: What you need to do is set up your default payment, here is a support article covering that...
Definitely rage worthy. I rage when I finally get through to a human and tell them right up front I've already done all the basic troubleshooting on the device in question. It is plugged in. It has been restarted. I am connected to the internet and I've restarted the modem. Invariably the first thing I'm asked is...

Is the device plugged in?

Parents that tell their kids in the check out line they don't have the money for the bottle of chocolate milk as they buy the $89 carton of cigarettes.

Many years ago I was a smoker for a bit while going to sea with the US Navy. I used to get a carton of Marlboro red box for $10 at the Exchange (early 1980s). For many reasons I'm glad I quit long ago, but if a carton of cigs is now $89 I'd be RAGING so much I'd have to buy them just to calm down. Maybe that's the...nah... couldn't be.

Next time I get to the commissary or BX I may check cig prices. I've never smoked but I used to dip Copenhagen. On base the highest I paid for a can was $3.50. I quit in 2002 so that number is outdated. It used to grind my gears when the base was out of Copenhagen so I'd have to pay $9 for a can off base, California price.

I go to the reservation tobacco shop just down the street. Its $3.50 a can. Right across the street at the gas station its $9 and some change. I only chew during salmon season. August-November. Something about a cup of coffee and those cool mornings on the river.

Last summer, I was on the 6 hr ferry from Portland Me to Nova Scotia. I am in a twenty minute que for the snack bar. A father and two daughters are in front of me. They get to the front of the line and Dad says to the girls “ What do you want?” and they proceed to debate it for a good two minutes.

I lost it: “You have been in line for twenty effing minutes and you couldnt be bothered to figure out what you want before you got to the front of the line!”. Stunned silence from every one in line. I dont know if they agreed me or thought I was a psycho.

At least they didn't ask to borrow money to help pay for it

I'm an abnormally fast walker evidently.
I'm normal height, 5' 11" or so, but I just walk with purpose. I have to adjust my speed significantly when I'm with my wife, but I usually haul ass wherever I go.

I can not handle being behind someone walking aimlessly, at the speed of "I got nowhere to be".

If you walk at the speed of smell, hold your line because there's likely someone behind you that is going somewhere.

I’ve had this exact same thing happen to me. So annoying.

In that same category is checking out at the grocery store and lady in front of me waits till the very end to start digging through her backpack sized purse to find a form of payment. I mean she literally had the entire time to look for it while they scan her groceries and bag them. And she acted surprised when time to pay. As if almost caught off guard and now hurriedly looking for her check book or credit card. So strange.

Why the FUCK can people NOT manage to get off of an airplane in a timely manner? I sat for 35min this morning waiting for a group of the dumbest people on earth try to figure out which goddamn way to go in order to get out of that aluminum tube. Of course the stupid sonuvabitch who stowed his carry on in the bin above my head couldn’t figure out why his bag was stuck as he nearly wrenched the door off of the bin while the wheel of his bag was stuck in the hinge. I have no idea how the majority of these dumbfucks found their way to the airport, or got through TSA.

WTF can't the airlines figure out to load the damn thing from back to front, and unload it from front to back.

Hey, let's put the high payers on in front first, that way they'll feel special, and get to smell every ass who gets on behind them.

It's not rocket surgery.

Don’t even get me started. By the time my wife gets done the fucking thing’s a milkshake and there’s no possible way that she can still taste a hint of what was once coffee.

Hate to break it to you, but "professional" and 'real" coffee drinkers aren't getting their coffee at 7/11. Pros roast their own from Green coffee beans.

Signed,
Pretentious coffee roasting/drinking prick.

I'm not a "real" coffee drinker but I do grind our own coffee beans when I want a cup and I do love flavored coffee and flavored creamers.

Following on from the flight discussion, my latest rage is the different rules at security in different countries. Shoes on \ shoes off, tablets out / tablets in. We are all flying using the same method, agree a global process and stick to it

Tubs of tomato paste. Specifically the fuckin alfoil lid on them. I’m not sure if any mere mortal can pull the bastard things off like they’re designed. I either have to stab the fucker with a knife and get shit all over my hands or rip into it with my teeth and be spitting the foil out for the next half hour 🤬
I’m not sure if every country is subject to this torture but here in Oz it’s the fuckin pits.


And WTF am I doin in the kitchen anyway? 🤷‍♂️

If you walk at the speed of smell, hold your line because there's likely someone behind you that is going somewhere.
Double grinding when they carry that show out the door of the store, pushing their cart of whatever, right down the middle of the parking lot rows. All the way to the end of the lot.
