Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

I should add in last night I could not sleep due to stress and overwhelming of my docs app, but he saids I am obesed, severaly obessed, but I never seem to gain a pound. Strange .
 
This thief has more balls than a lot of men! At least she was a nervous thief: and her behavior defeats any "I didn't know I was doing anything wrong" defense. I'm fairly confident the guy recording her got her license plate number and DIDN'T call law enforcement, though. Moral of the story is: never leave your vehicle while it's being refueled... from the time you turn the pump on until the time you stop it.
 
Yeah I think my cell will be turned off If I do not pay my bills on it, but I can swamp out my sims card, and put it on my old moto edge plus, that way whenever it decided to turn itself off, I can still pretty much use my moto edge plus in the placement ,so I can finally return to my side occupaiton, and then get paid, then I will pay it off...somehow.
 
So Isimply thought my cell would cut off its service from having, a bad day, yes I did. I accidently jammed my sims card into my other moto edge plus, but I was with my sister and we went out some grocery shopping, and I told her, we got the sims out, I just put it in and it saids SIMS card not found..

Serioously a bad night due to that...
 
So I was just turning on my old moto edge plus, and suddenly nothing, I did clean it out before anything did occur, and it was up to the set up, and I did not had time with the switching out sims card, and everything and now it is dead. Fudge I was going to do a factory data reset today with my moto 2022... :\
 
I had a two gallon hudson type sprayer that I tried to use today. It had sat idle for too many years. The o-ring that seals the piston so that you can pump pressure in the container so it will spray was rubber and hard and failed to pressurize the vessel. It was a cheap sprayer so I tossed it and went to a farm and garden sort of store near here and bought another. I struggled to get it to spray in fanned fashion... just a stream. I finally found a sweet spot that sort of had a decent spray and started treating my lawn. I managed my way through the front yard and was in the back when the trigger mechanism broke. I've never seen a more poorly designed waste of plastic in my life. It's not my nature but I took it back to get my twenty one bucks back. I told the little gal that I felt sorry for her because they had a whole shelf of the sprayers and nobody would be happy with them.
 
There was rabbit turd in front of our garage doors, mom is out there with a power washer...

Yeah Rabbit turd smeared that look like wolves print on a canvas.
 
I flipping hate saying this but what is massive battery drainage like, I could of sworn my cell is losing like three percent per like five minutes at a time, and I just turn this on... Oh GREAT have to fly up to Verizon in the dead of summer...... GRIPE it is going to be extremely hot out.
 
So 5 minutes into a 1500 mile, 6-day road trip my check engine light came on. I thought it was just another random "ecoboost emissions sensor" error that I'd been clearing because it was over $500 to fix and didn't really affect performance. NO: this was multiple errors, centered around the O2 sensor electrical circuit! Nevertheless Marla (my 2018 Ford Explorer) drove flawlessly, averaging 22 MPG the entire way. Now it's in the shop and, while I'm fixing the O2 sensor issue, I may as well fix the emissions sensor at the same time. Cash price out the door will be right at $1000. After a very expensive trip! Thankfully, we have the emergency fund and are blessed to be able to plunk down that kind of money when necessary.
 
Two weeks ago, it rained all weekend and I couldn't mow my cabin property. Keep in mind that I mow it every two weeks. Last weekend all the roads to the cabin were closed and I couldn't get there to mow. I'm getting ready to head down there and try to mow last month's growth. I'm in for some big time fun!

Not a great pic but you can see the drop off from the cabin deck to the lower level of the land. Beyond what you see is the actual river that is usually only a few feet deep. All that land that I needed to mow down there was sitting under water for over a week. The river was over the third step up on the deck. With that in mind, the majority of my mowing did not need mowed today. Up around the cabin where we park and have a little front yard needed mowed in the worst way. I got lucky that the flood waters didn't get into the cabin or submerge my mower. The flood in 2016
got up to the bottom of the cabin. The cabin sets on mother earth in the front but on piers in the back.
 
Back in the early fifties, my house like most all houses were insulated with rockwool. It was good insulation of it's time but it has a tendency to break down over the years. I've been threatening to have my attic reinsulated for a number of years. A couple of weeks ago I got a bid from the company I was familiar with. The estimator took a look in the attic and said your insulation is all but gone. He bid it guessing I had an r value of 4 and would blow it to a r38. The crew came out this morning and blew the attic. When the guy came down he said it was the coolest attic he's been in this summer. My AC was doing a great job. :) It will be interesting to see what savings I realize with some attic insulation. I need to do the walls but it's just too costly.
