Happy Festivus
- Thread starter Nitwit

I say don't patronize that business if it is going to be so hard to exit the parking lot.
I'm retiredno longer in a hurry
It has nothing to do with being in a hurry. It's just following the rules of the road.I'm retired
When driving on the highway in the right hand lane and people who are entering the highway expect you to yield to them.
Little late but WTF is up with saying the city/state of the college you go/went to instead of the school name? I notice this a lot with interns who go to top schools/programs. It’s so pretentious and annoying - a recent intern of mine would always say ‘Boston’ when asked instead of Tufts. This is very common with younger Ivy-leaguers I meet too….
My daughter's friends were making $16+ in NEPA doing that a couple of years ago. That's like $30 in Jersey. I'm special and just do it for free.
Don't take life so seriously. It'll be over before you know it.
Funny. I've got a buddy named Bradd that I always used to say, hey you misspelled your named. I do have to say that it almost sounds like you don't believe that my given name is Edwardo Carrachio? I'm disappointed in you. Where's the Festivus magic? No soup for you! LOL
My son is up in NE now . His experience is if they answer Boston, it means Harvard . Otherwise they typically call out the school .
I mean, I’ve also heard the very general ‘up north’. Worse, with my last intern, when pressed they would say, ‘The Fletcher School.’
And while we’re on the topic, when I drink beer I drink all of it since somebody spent a lot of time and effort brewing it. It’s only right.
Well the first grievance I'll air is that Festivus is limited to a single day.
With that out of the way, our new offensive coordinator has a habit of ending sentences with "...right?" (even more so than CJF starting them with "Obviously...")
Next up... people who park AT the gas pump and then go into the station to do whatever rather than gas up, move and park like a considerate human being. (If you do it at the one pump that offers diesel there's a special place in hell for you)

Spending Christmas Eve in Children’s Hospital since my newborn had a low core body temp. But he’s doing much better now and so they are now moving him out of the ICU to a regular room. That room just happens to be room number 409. Just thought I’d share that.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas everyone.
It’s a good omen. Merry Christmas
Again, it's only about following the rules of the road. When people don't, it causes accidents.
Uh, yeah you can. If you're such a stickler for rules, keep right unless you are passing or making a left turn.
And what's the story with my Dunkin Donuts drive-thru? Is it too much trouble to put napkins in the bag with my donuts? No tip in the cup until they learn proper drive-thru serving procedures.
People who have their cell phone speaker on in public places when they are in conversation - grocery store, the train, restaurants, stores, the airport, the shuttle to the airport....the list goes on and on. Oh, and don't "festivus me" if I start honing in on your conversation - if you are stupid enough to allow everyone to hear your private convesation, then you have to accept that people will decide to chime into your discussion.
Sucks for y’all. I say this sincerely, no burn, no snark.
