I've complained about this before, but holy fuck there are so many horrible drivers out there now. In the last week I've almost t-boned or been t-boned by idiots.

Yesterday I was driving on a road that goes around a mall. Some dickhead was in the parking area and straight up made a left hand turn, cutting me off, without stopping before leaving the parking area or even looking. Had to stomp on the brakes.

Last week, the girlfriend and I were driving through town to go for a bike ride. I'm driving on a straight main road, when all of a sudden someone starts pulling out infront of me. Had the abs activated on dry pavement. I don't know how they didn't see me.

Last night while driving on the freeway to go riding, I was passing a cop doing 120kmh. I looked in my rearview mirror and some asshole had jumped in behind, started tailgating and I could see them giving me the bird or some other gesture. So I said enough with that and squeezed into a small opening, to let the impatient asshat go by. Dude then immediately turns on his signal and cuts from the left lane, across the freeway and gets off at the fast approaching exit. Jesus dude, chill out.

The battery in my wife's work laptop has swollen again. Not sure how many years since I swapped it the first time, but I know that old battery is still on our garage floor waiting for me to find out where to dispose of it. The laptop is probably 5 years old...

Rules of the road are a mere suggestion in mall parking lots in my experience. Lines? What lines? Pedestrians? Stopping for traffic to clear?!

I regard parking lots as one of the more hazardous areas in which to drive. Around here it's often exacerbated by irrational layouts.

the asinine American measurement system strikes again Hospital Discharge : Transport order comes in patient is post surgery and weighs 115 pounds no biggie Myself and a smaller crewman go there with a manual gurney (old school no power lift) We get there it is Kilos not pounds. 115 freaking kilos and our gurney weighs 44 kilos add 3 kilos for blankets and pillows for a grand total of 162 kilos or 357 pounds.

now for the fun part to load that gurney with patient into the rig its a giant lever one end in the rig and one person lifting the gurney from the other end to lift wheels off the ground so the the other person can lift the wheel assembly up and lock it in a collapsed position then the person holding up the gurney walks it into the rig using the two front loading wheels while still supporting the load.

Yeah I had the lifting job and I was working but I did it. oh and I had to do the same thing unloading.

we would have used a different crew with a power lift gurney if the dimwit who booked the order knew the difference between english and metric

why is the USA the country in the world whose citizens are to stupid to understand base 10?

this with all that weight.
