my skin tag horror story
(tldr a tick burrowed into the base of my skin tag and cut off the blood flow so it went necrotic; I tied it off with dental floss and cut it off with scissors. I would not recommend this method of skin tag removal, but it worked out just fine for me & didn't even leave a scar)

marcos your neighbors need to embrace the Chicago-style yards and swap out the grass for cement, a handful of mulch, and some poorly maintained monkey grass.

Finding out a friend/local living legend in the cartoon and animation scene was turned down for support from the big local public space/street art collective because he "Wasn't famous enough".

Irrational in that I have always suspected it to be a popularity contest/ponzi scheme w well-meaning volunteers and fundraisers at the bottom raising the cash to go to hip street artists and art scenesters at the top but just sorta sucks to hear that confirmed from a super talented artist who is struggling rn.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 3 June 2015 18:40 (nine years ago) link
Irrational only inasmuch as I'm not sure that anger is necessarily the most appropriate response, but I'm really really really tired of having to remind people at my work (who are technically above me and certainly make a lot more money than me) how to do their jobs. Guess I should just exit the working world altogether, huh.

My city does a pretty good job of keeping the gutters clean with their street sweepers, but on those features that produces curbs on the "wrong" side of the street, like traffic islands, the gutters look like early man middens with sand, dirt, cigarette butts, shards of car light lenses, batteries, etc.

Walkman melting down. Sad, been a dear companion for the last year and a half.May be a battery thing but looks like changing that can be tricky. Anyway not acting the way that it has been, buttons not responding and getting stuck in one lp instead of shuffling through all the hundreds of hours on there.
Hope I can sort it, but at the moment it just seems to have a mind of its own.

I get that my first name is spelled differently than the way(s) the name is usually spelled, and I'm generally resigned to the fact that people are going to misspell it. But there's something about people misspelling my name when replying to an email WHERE MY CORRECTLY-SPELLED NAME IS PART OF THE EMAIL ADDRESS that really rankles. And it happens all the time. I'm always tempted to misspell their name in response. "Dear Bobe..."

Wondering if it can really be constantly windy every time i walk across the park. Can't keep my hat on my head. Would think that it would have to be calm at least some of the time.& watching trees getting constantly buffered by the wind and losing their purchase in the ground.Have heard that there are people going around intentionally uprooting plants around the park because people I've talked to have seen them do it. Have just seen the end results, young trees lying on the paths around the place. Though have seen people intentionally breaking lower branches of trees, the ones they can reach.
Am certainly aware that somebody has stolen trees from the community garden since there have been 4 missing and the band attaching the tree to its support while it grew strong enough to stand on its own has been cut.
Doesn't seem to have much point apart from the immediate supposed satisfaction of the vandalism.

More of an irritation than true anger, but it is an irritation every goddamn time I see a license plate holder that says "XYZ Alumni", where XYZ is some university or college. This irritates the hell out of me because in almost every case it ought to say either 'alumnus" or "alumna", not "alumni" - and if you're going to brag about your education, you at least ought to do it in an educated way.
― Aimless, Saturday, 6 June 2015 18:58 (nine years ago) link
I avoid that irritation by figuring it means "[I am one of the select group of] XYZ Alumni" or like it refers to the Alumni Association.
― Je55e, Saturday, 6 June 2015 19:37 (nine years ago) link
it just makes me think whatever college license plate frame is most popular in the area graduates the worst drivers. in baltimore i like morgan state university alumni drivers are the worst. it's totally not justified but they're drawing attention to themselves.

and yes the alumni thing bothers me too. learn latin, asshole.
perhaps the car is owned by a couple who are both graduates of said university

oh that reminds me, i drive down a street with light rail tracks on it every day. only one lane on each side of the tracks for a few blocks. at least twice a week some idiot double parks on the street, which forces everyone to drive onto the tracks to get around them. of course often following the tradition of double parking where there's an open spot very close by. and people near the light sometimes can't understand why they need to stop where the line is or else they are on the tracks. yesterday this heroic light rail driver stops and just lays on his horn and uses the loudspeaker HEY BRO! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE! GET OFF THE TRACKS! WHERE'D YOU GET YOUR LICENSE AT? it was awesome.

TBF re the full name thing Veg, if its on FB maybe theyre just being lazy and tagging you which defaults to full name?
To bring it back to the topic I hate it when people tag people on FB for no or lame reasons (unrelated photos, comments on news posts with nothing but personsname, etc)

When ppl who aren't buying drinks plant themselves in the way of the bar
― Hammer Smashed Bagels, Sunday, 7 June 2015 02:34 (nine years ago) link
OTM. Hate standing drinkers when the bar isn't full (OK, I hate them when it is full too, but at least then they have an excuse) in general: blocking the bar, blocking the route to the toilets, standing right behind my chair talking loudly and swinging their drinking elbow an inch away from my head. Sometimes complete strangers even rest the other arm on the back of my chair and that makes me wish a painful death upon everyone. I have personal space issues.
VG I would hate that too, it would make me super paranoid! Does she talk about other friends to you like that or are you her only Facebook wall celebrity?
Currently thinking bad things about the owner of the car whose alarm has been going for the past 20 minutes, which sounds suspiciously like the one which went off for at least half an hour starting at 1:30am.

the full name thing on FB is not to tag me, these ppl are not my FB friends! Like, this one kid is the son of an ex coworker, I have met him in person once like TEN years ago, have never had a conversation with him ever but he is bff friends with my friend. And he left a comment after something i said "Oh, [my full name], you always know the right thing to say" and my first thing was like step off kid, you don't fuckin know me!

When people from the back of the queue go to the front of the newly opened queue. FUCK YOU
― kinder, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 08:33 (nine years ago) link
I have started doing this in Aldi if I have like 2-4 items (which I usually do, because I go past on foot on my way home from work) because if I don't do it someone from further back in the queue with a week's worth of family shopping goes to the front of the newly opened queue, every time
if someone from ahead of me in the old queue arrived in the new queue directly behind me I'd let them ahead but so far it has only ever been people from right at the back of the queue with heavily laden trolleys
shopping at my local Co-op is far more sedate and less full of weekly shoppers, at least on weekday evenings, so it's safer there to hang back a moment to see who moves, make "after you" gestures and hope you're not taken up on them, etc
― undergraduate dance (a passing spacecadet), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 09:58 (nine years ago) link
nah i dunno - if a new queue opens and nobody notices, have at it - but if somebody barges ahead simultaneously that'd be pretty bad.
one thing which really gets me is people stopping immediately outside or inside doorways. it is the behaviour of the worst kind of moron.

YES. Or even worse at the bottom/top of an escalator. Which happened to me today, some clueless twat checking his phone oblivious while I had to keep stepping backwards up the escalator in order to avoid bumping into him. Still better than last week when a passenger 6 or 7 steps behind me on a downward escalator let go of their suitcase which proceeded to bump down a few meters and crash into the back of my legs.
