I think….its because you’ve had “enough”.
It’s not the little thing that pisses you off, it’s but a drop in the bucket. The bucket that is already full, to the tipping point. Drip, drip, drip…..SPLOOSH!

I get what you mean but lately it's been really stupid shìt. Saw a guy parked backwards on the street this morning and thought "wtf"?

Has absolutely zero bearing on my life but it aggravates me

Yes. My point exactly.
And I feel your pain. Someone across the street from me parks backwards on the street.
At least it’s not in front of my house. THAT really pisses me off.

People parking in front of my house are a pet peeve of mine. I always hear "but ThE sTrEeTs aRe PuBlIc.." i dont care. My neighbor was doing it to me, while the front of his house and driveway were empty. Finally got the hint when I took the wife and mines cars and parked in front of his house as I made eye contact with him walking back into my house.

Is this the same neighbor with the grass cutting?

Of course. He should hope I never get a terminal diagnosis.

It gets me also. My neighbor who owns a demolition company used to park all their vehicles in the street with trailers. Covering the front of my house, his, and his neighbor on the other side. It drove me nuts to look out front and it looked like a construction zone. I was nice, I hinted, around the holidays, I told him I had company coming and please leave room for them to park. The wife actually stopped by the Sheriff's office and asked about situation along with junk all over their driveway, parked trailers and such. Actually as long as the fire hydrant isn't blocked there is nothing to cite them for unless we form an association and it breaks the rules continuously. After parking our vehicles in front of our property for a week, only leaving room for the mailman to pull up to the post box, he got the message. Now we just have to put up with the ugly view of two trailers parked on his front lawn along with the junk. I swear, before we purchased the house we drove around the neighborhood at all hours of the day and night and it looked good and was quiet. We think the realtor paid him to keep it clear. This is the same person that when they had their power turned off, parked a 50KW generator in front of the house and ran it 24/7 for two weeks. Neighbors can be lifelong friends, or they can be a constant PITA

The best solution for neighbors is for them be far enough away that they need to drive to come visit.

That's when you have to mow that gravel patch right next to where he parks

I typically just dislike people but my neighbor tops all of that. I've lived here almost longer than everybody except sn elderly couple on the corner. Neighbor moves in next door after the lady that was there moved in with her daughter due to dementia. New guy thinks he runs the neighborhood. He has:
1. Tore down my fence to build a section of privacy fence without asking me. Apparently because my dogs would bark at him for the 5 minutes they're outside.
2. Broke my gate hasp and trespassed into my backyard to paint said fence.
3. Constant noise from him. If it's not him cutting his grass, even during drought when it's dead, it's a leaf blower, pressure washer, snow blower, snow plow, etc...
4. Was blowing his leaves from his trees into my yard.
5. The cars being parked in front of our house.

We had it out in my front yard over the fence ordeal where he was told that if he keeps his shìt up that his house will catch fire with him and his family in it. He got the hint real fast. If I wasn't an ffl and ccw holder, he would have been assaulted already.

70 yrs on this planet and I know the exact same feeling.............
Here is the latest example....... Saw these in a local shop....decided to send a couple to CPJ.....
Posted them on the 30 Aug.
Just came home today to find this poking out of my mailbox....( I blacked out the sender etc before taking these pics to preserve our privacy Chris)



Checked the address I sent them to and it was exactly as CPJ sent it to me.
What pissed me off even more is that the parcel spent 2 months on an overseas jaunt and came home while I got to stay home and work.

Will re post them next week Chris.....I aint gonna let the stupid Postal service win this round. %&#+ Them!!!!

WTF? That makes no sense at ALL

Jeebus, I wonder who dropped the ball on that deal? I was expecting a fun customs story to take place. If I was a betting man (which I'm not because I despise the stupid scratch off people), I would say it probably has to do with laziness on one person's part.

Expecting sense in this crazy world can be an exercise in futility........Will let you know when they are on their way again.

My nephews son was REALLY dedicated to his Halloween costume........

Ha! nice

Wheeew Halloween has come and gone
No damage this year! Last year the javalinas ate our pumpkins this year we went plastic, what a trash look!
Exactly 2 early trick or treaters. I gave each a few small candy bars reserving some for the later arrivals. Now I have a couple lbs that I shouldn’t eat but will.

Hard to complain with Texas HS football when the team rolls out flying the US, Texas, Gonzalez, and Gadsen flags

Pretty dang cool.
Always glad to see spirit!

A customer wanted me to thread his 700 in 7 Rem Mag and wanted a brake installed. I know good and well that I could have just bought a brake for cheap but where's the fun in that? I turned this guy out today. Pic is before and after cerakote. It works exceptionally well, and I mean like 223 bolt gun recoil well.
