What was the last inanimate object that offended you?

[dustybiker]

Yes, this is meant to be a fun Q (& is a fake injury)

I just made tea… the bag broke apart in the pot. *sigh* ☕️🫖☕️ Now where did I put my strainer…?

It was this past Monday.

I'm an Audio Video Integrator, and part of what I do is computer networking and WiFi. I met a gate guy (a guy who installs motorized gates, and usually installs a modern "smart" gate controller that needs a network connection), and since he's a gate guy who barely understand networking and hates dealing with it, has been paying me to deal with his networking issues.

So, he's got a gate customer, and everything is finished, except the network connection isn't working. He'd contracted out much of the work to someone else, and let's just say that it wasn't his regular guy, and that these guys didn't know what they were doing. They used the wrong kind of cable, and it was super crappy cable at that, and at least 2 of the 8 wires inside the cable were broken somewhere because of rough handling and crappy quality wires to begin with. We had to replace the cable. It shouldn't have been hard - there was a conduit running under the driveway to pull it through. BUT, the conduit was set up to make it virtually impossible to pull cable through. They had a 180 degree turn at one end the conduit, so if there is any resistance at all, the cable binds up and you can't pull it through. I ended up having to dig up the end of that conduit, cut through it, then pull new cable through it, and repair the cut. It was 2 hours work instead of 10 minutes work, because they were morons.

I was angry at the conduit, but to be fair, the anger should have been aimed at the guy who installed it. But that guy wasn't onsite, and the conduit was, so I had to take out my anger on the conduit.

The world needs more people who know what they are doing and care enough to do it.

Either my gym shorts or socks.

I wore shorts to the gym for the first time and to say they were short, would be an understatement.

They fit relatively tight too and I were training legs and when I were doing sumo deadlifts, they were riding up a fair amount and at most, only cover just more than half my thighs in the first place.

Before I went to the gym, I bought socks, hoping they'd be short, like just a few inches over the ankle, but they were shorter and when I were deadlifting, the bar irritated my shins a bit, because it would scrape up against them when deadlifting.

Out of the two though, I'll go with the shorts, because they showed a bit more and I can just wear longer socks to prevent the other issue.

[Rosexøxø]

No I haven’t been that frustrated at life in a while.

All my items respect my “melancholy moods” I walk through at times. Lol

I could never get mad at them for not working, compared to the people who just don’t work with me at times 😂💅

[Emiliamazing]

How did this poop get on my shoe? Pesky dogs!

[dustybiker]

😁Why did we never make that lucky, like bird 💩

[NathanDavis]

every time the total number of cheetos in a Cheetos bag is not an ~even~ number but an ~odd~ one...

[dustybiker]

omg 🤣

[NathanDavis]

pic is a nice one though... football is everywhere

[dustybiker]

What shape Cheetos do you prefer?

[NathanDavis]

for the classic ones, those that are shaped like a caveman's club... but I also like the round puff ball Cheetos

[dustybiker]

The clubs taste better not sure why.

[NathanDavis]

yes, I think so... might be crunch to them

[Bethany22]

I tried to dig a fork full of rice out from my bowl, and a bunch of rice flung out everywhere onto the floor

[dustybiker]

My dogs have always loved when that happens. It’s like winning the lottery.

[Bethany22]

Haha funny 😂

[tfan1]

My son dumped his book bag behind the chair, I had to go use the toilet and the books inside the bookbag became gravity’s friend and they moved inside making the bag move and topple and I tripped over the book bag and grabbed the wall to stop myself from falling. Said damn bookbag! Fortunately I was able to make it to the toilet in time instead of peeing myself. 🙂

[TrueConfection]

I had a jar break in the palm of my hand leaving tiny pieces of glass in my hand.😬 I used strong tape to get the glass out.

[dustybiker]

That was smart!

[TrueConfection]

Not too smart, it took me 2 days to realize there was indeed glass stuck in my hand. It hurt more than a tiny cut should, but I couldn't see anything there. I tried the tape trick and lo and behold... 😂

[dustybiker]

lol Why didn’t you go to a doctor? (You sound like me. I’d do that.)

[TrueConfection]

I have to be dying to go to a doctor. They wouldn't be able to do anything better anyhow. 😁

[dustybiker]

lmao

[Charliefretz329]

Same here lol

[sirderpsalot123]

A glass plate jumped out of my hand yesterday...

It hated me so much that it decided that death was a better alternative.

[dustybiker]

Ouch, stop making me laugh today. lmao

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker 😎

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 Kidding of course

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker lies.

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 Of course

[dustybiker]

Thank you for answering! 🥰

[sirderpsalot123]

You're welcome! 🥰🤗 (😠)

[dustybiker]

lmao

[exitseven]

I bought stuff to do an oil change on my truck and the dealership put the oil filter on with a wrench and I can't get it off.

[dustybiker]

A good solid job. Maybe ask if you can borrow that wrench? 😏

[exitseven]

I have an appointment in a couple of weeks and they are just going to loosen the damn oil filter. I bought a wrench and i bent it trying to get the damn thing off. I thought of drilling some holes in it snd putting on a few sheet metal screws but if it didn't work I would not be able to drive the truck.

[dustybiker]

Oh you weren’t kidding. That sucker is on there. I figured you managed something. Have you tried a heat lamp or hair dryer?

[dustybiker]

Saves trying with an entire hot engine.

[dustybiker]

Or maybe ice packs. I’d be trouble shooting everything not to be defeated.

[exitseven]

@dustybiker After getting it up on the ramps twice I decided to go with plan B/

[dustybiker]

Yeah. Understandable.

[dustybiker]

We once started off and blew oil all over the dealership service dept front entrance. They didn’t put the cover back on properly. Had to deep wash the entire engine too.

[exitseven]

damn, I didin't put the breather cap back on and oil got out all over the engine. I had to scrub it down.

[dustybiker]

That is a pain! Clean engines are nice though. lol

[exitseven]

yes, I always keemp mine clean.

[dustybiker]

Me too.

[SecretsofKB]

The computer at work... shut down mid note at the end of shift. I. Was. Pissed.

[dustybiker]

[Msputiton]

Dang. I really thought i was already following you as much as we interact🥴

[dustybiker]

We’re good. 😎

[dustybiker]

Waiting for “someone” to come along and say something snarky though, cause it’s going to happen. lol

[sirderpsalot123]

@Msputiton That's interesting and all... but how about you actually answer the question? 🙄

[dustybiker]

That took twenty min…. (🤣)

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker Had to get here as fast as possible before that "someone" beat me to it.

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 It was close.

[sirderpsalot123]

Lmao

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 😁

[sirderpsalot123]

And yes... the downvote is from me.

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 Be nice. This is my question.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker I respect you as a person but that's not going to happen. Just being honest.

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 You’re bringing your negative energy into my fun question. 😝 Go eat a gummy bear or something. Cheer yourself up.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker... At least I answered your fun question.

Ok, I'm leaving now...

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 still cranky pants I see.

[Msputiton]

@dustybiker we all kinda knew it was gonna be him🤣

[dustybiker]

@msputiton lmao

[Jennz6]

The Pole at work was sweaty from the girl that was dancing before me and I slipped when I was trying to climb up during my dance 💃

[dustybiker]

Ew!!! lmao

[Jennz6]

@dustybiker I busted my ass

[dustybiker]

😯 oh yikes! Was the floor padded at least?

[Jennz6]

No it’s not

[dustybiker]

Poles should come with warning labels.

[Jennz6]

@dustybiker yes, good idea

[Charliefretz329]

Just incorporate it into the works somehow

[BlurryHaze]

My fucking coffee when I try moving it out the kitchen and the tiniest movement turns it into a tsunami onto my hand! 🤣

[dustybiker]

I felt that. 🫠

[BlurryHaze]

Uuuugh I hate it so.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Just yesterday...

A bird bombed my car with poop. :D

Last Sunday...

I hit the bed post with my knee. :(

[BJP21]

I left a rake out and pulled a classic cartoon move by inadvertently stepping on it.

[dustybiker]

Poor you… lol

[Charliefretz329]

A chair that broke and contributed to me hitting my head on a pipe

[dustybiker]

What was the pipe doing there? Those chains of silly things are such a pain!

[Charliefretz329]

It was on the job lol,

[dustybiker]

Hope you took the day off (knowing you didn’t) lol

[Charliefretz329]

Lol, hell no right back to work

[dustybiker]

@charliefretz329 That’s my friend! lmao

[Charliefretz329]

Hand sanitizer. It dries out my hands so much.

Inanimate objects offend me almost as much as people

That bit of grit in my eye. 😬

[dustybiker]

That is a good one.

[clampfan101]

My earbuds. (Stay in!)

[dustybiker]

I tape mine when I ride. 😁 They end up in my helmet otherwise.

[boobliker]

[dustybiker]

Ouch!!
