Pretty pissed off at whomever vandalised my W124 over the weekend while it was parked at my folks place.

i haven't checked out a library book since the invention of kindle.

[E30 Wagen]

People who dog-ear library books instead of using a bookmark, and also people who write notes or make spelling suggestions in the margin.

The paper towel dispenser in the restroom that is so chock full of paper towels you rip every towel into shreds in your attempt to free it from the dispenser.

I've since stopped washing my hands.

weak flushing toilets

how about automatic toilets that flush every time you move. i HATE those.


--Mike

I resort to using the plunger about 90% of the time and it's not like im rocking the boat here. So if I'm short on time, I have to take into consideration how long I'll have to act like a plumber to make sure I'm not late.

Or not even if it gets clogged, but just doesn't flush all the way and you have to wait for the bowl to fill back up before a second attempt.

Fucking, goddam thieves!

It really adds up when you're doing a swap or turbo build and buying a bunch of swap/aftermarket parts from various places with shipping at $20-60 a pop.

Take advantage of free domestic shipping, compiling parts from multiple vendors, then get it all shipped internationally at once.

When you're watching TV and your room mate walks in, sits on the couch and starts watching a video on his phone as loud as it can go, laughing even louder.

The MVA, which I would have gone to this coming Friday, will be closed for American Indian Heritage Day. Fu*k you Maryland State Government and budget bullshit.

Also, fix the g*ddamned roads.

When people call a 2002 (the BMW model) a "202"

I call it either an "Oh-two" or a "two-oh-oh-two," maybe they're just slurring the two "oh"s together.


Todays pissoff is how long anything takes to ship from the states to here, and how much things cost to ship anything here. It really sucks when you need a $5 connector and there's $15 shipping and it takes 3 weeks to get here. Don't even think about UPS or FedEx unless you like paying an extra 50% for some bullshit service fees.

That being said, I'm pumped that Blunt carries so many 24v swap bits. It was pretty much a one-stop-shop for OEM maintenance/swap bits, Condor engine mounts/ZF320 carrier bushings, silicon intake boots, etc. Only things I didn't buy there so far are clutch, brake booster, and oil pan.
:D

When people call a 2002 (the BMW model) a "202".

Maybe it's a generational thing; I seem to have mostly heard old timers saying it.

Example: "I knew a guy that had a canary yellow two-oh-two. That was a great little car."

Canary yellow, that's another old timer thing to say.

Dickheads in upstairs apartments who don't fucking get how loud shit is to the people living beneath them.

For about the last two weeks, the fucking cockbag upstairs has been chopping firewood out on his back porch, at all hours of the day. It sounds like there's major renovation being done, it quite seriously shakes the walls in our apartment, knocks little bits of stuff off the ceiling, shakes pictures on the wall, etc. This is in addition to their giant dog bouncing off the walls, and their kid, who apparently loves nothing more than to jump off furniture and slam himself into the floor at terminal velocity.

I've already emailed the management 3 times, and also just took a video to illustrate how loud it is. I finally told them this time that if it continues, we want to move to another apartment, or want out of our lease if they refuse to take action against them.

Snake it ??? Are we sure its too flat, as too much grade can cause the same issues. The water runs away faster than the solid's when there is too much grade and leaves it behind and can cause issues as well.....
