    I don’t do this, but why is it a bad thing? I can see in heavy rain that it might help to see cars in front of you when visibility is low. Do the reflections bother you?

    I have that as the difficult way to separate the buckets.

    I have had better luck putting them upside down on the ground and squeezing the bottom bucket with my feet. Then tug/pull on the upper bucket.

    Might have to use a hammer and tap on a scrap piece of 2 X 4 all the way around to break the seal/suction.

    was at a Costco on a Saturday afternoon so u can already imagine how packed and congested the place was…inside looked like a sold out concert

    I’m at the long ass self-checkout line, and this meathead goes and skips the whole line going right to the front…naturally everyone starts telling him to go to the back of the line and stop being an a-hole, and he’s telling people to stfu and if they don’t like it they can call the manager as he proceeds to go and start checking out…Idk if the worker locked the register he was at or something, but he couldn’t scan anything and then started throwing a tantrum and demanding the manager like a Karen

    what made it even more pathetic is that he had who I’m assuming was his elderly mom with him, and she looked so embarrassed

    he played himself too because the back of the line had only 1 person behind me when he decided to skip, and by the time I had got there and finished checking out my stuffed cart, he was still on the side waiting for the manager

    I can’t imagine acting that entitled and childish as a grown man

    Texas DPS fun!

    1. So I go to get one of my trailer tags annually re-stickered...lady says "you know you can pay for a 5-year sticker". No, ma'am, I did not know that, why has nobody told me this before?

    2. One of my younger cousins needs a license. You now cannot just walk in to a DPS office. You have to fight a website to schedule an appointment. Soonest and closest appointment is about 100 miles away in late October.

    3. No more vehicle (non-commercial) inspections starting sometime in January. I'm not sure I like this idea.

    "I'm curious, Captain, on why you chose to go with the feminine 'Karen' reference versus the masculine 'Ken' reference for a person who is clearly referred to as a male manager. But, to my surprise, the masculine equivalent of 'Karen' is not 'Ken' after all but 'Terry'."

    Seriously...cool story, bro, and don't call you Captain (albeit in this post I'm Spock and you are Captain Kirk so deal with it)!

    Getting an insect bite on the bottom of your foot. Last night a mosquito got under my little toe and bit me right where the toe meets the rest of my foot. Was driving me crazy for awhile.

    Amazon prime sending all of my packages via shitty USPS after I moved.

    As one might imagine, not a single package has arrived on schedule yet.

    Bro do you know how annoying it is to see random flashing all over the highway? Cant even tell who is stopped.

    just turn your lights on and drive at a reasonable speed.

    How about the people who don't turn on their ****ing headlights when it's raining/dark outside (I blame you Toyota, for not installing automatic headlight features/DRL in vehicles until basically 2020). Every time I see a ****ing ******* with no headlights on and it's raining or dark as **** outside, it seems to be a ****ing Toyota.

    I flash my lights at those ****ers like I'm the police. Not surprisingly, none of these morons can ever figure out why I'm pissed off.

    DRL should be mandatory.

    auto headlights (like backup cams) should be mandatory.
    people should have to go out of their way to turn off their lights.

    there should be a warning on the dash when lights are off and it’s dark or raining.

    When that happened I used to take my gas cap and wedge it under the trigger, while keeping an eye on the gallon meter. I've seen guys use tennis balls as well.

    I think I’ve driven in heavy rain with people using hazards a single time in the last 18 years. Recently on the way back from Waco, the rain was so heavy I could barely see 20 feet in front of me. A good amount of people were using their hazards. It didn’t distract or annoy me. I am pretty good about keeping a healthy gap between cars. I was taught a car length per 10 mph.

    when you stick the nozzle in, squeeze and set the locking mechanism expecting to fill your tank, then come back a few minutes later to discover the pump has some kind of hair trigger and your credit card's been charged $1.14
