i close 4 nights this week, which means i see my wife for a few minutes in the morning and about an hour at night before she goes to bed. not good for the marriage, as both of us are super exhausted, pissy from work, et cetera.

not only is my job cock-blocking, its sort of idk pissing me off in other ways too.

Extra-heavy workload for this time of year, lots of people who can't seem to get their act together work-wise, and a recalcitrant supplier who's ******* things up hand over fist.

Add to that a half-marathon in three months, but foot pain that's not going away anytime soon. I thought I had rested it enough, but no luck there. And the pool's too cold to swim in to keep my aerobic base going.

USPS is pissing me off. First, they lost my package last week. Second they are are near impossible to get a hold of. I've called 7 different times today, and they have yet to answer once, combined with the fact some dumbass working there was suppose to have already called me back about the package. Words do not describe how annoyed I am right now. Edit: 10th times a charm! I finally got someone on the phone!!!!!!! Then they told me they would call me back, again.

My girlfriend says I'm rude. I just told a girl waiting in line behind me at the post office that I don't care about her personal life, and I don't really want to hear her talk about it on her cell at airplane engine volume.

People in this country are so ******* afraid of offending anyone.

i would say along those same lines people get bent out of shape too easily... 'jetliner volume' is relative. some people just have a higher personal volume than others. i myself talk really loudly, its not something i was aware of for a long time as people were usually too afraid to tell me.

you probably were right to tell this lady to STFU, but maybe you could have been more tactful... atleast while you were with your s/o.

I can get your point about people who get bent out of shape too easily, but in this case you'll have to trust me that this was at an obnoxious level for everyone in the post office. Looks were being exchanged across the room, but everyone else was being too "polite" to say anything.

This is the type of thing you have to either do so well that you are exonerated by a slow clap from the other people who are annoyed, or probably not do at all. You can start talking/singing obnoxiously loud like a crazy person kind of in her direction. That's also really fun, assuming done with a sense of humor. Or start talking to your girlfriend about something random, but every time the girl says something, you ramp your volume way up over her level, and then back down so she starts to wonder if she's going crazy. It's a great opportunity for fun.

I usually go for eye contact, do an eye roll, shake my head and sigh. Sometimes I am rewarded with an upset comment such as, "Do you have a problem?" I am now free to vent my spleen, as everyone nearby, will view that person as beginning the conflict.

I didn't do it loudly or call everyone's attention to it. She was right behind me and I turned, caught her eye and said it at a normal volume.

Girlfriend wasnt in the line with me. Normally I ust play along and would probably turn around and start participating in her conversation, laughing as she gets annoyed, but today I was in a rush and had other things on my mind.

Plus she wasnt hot, and who cares about the feelings of the uglies?
