    I dont know 70s music...stop asking me if i know this song and being shocked when I have not...Steve Miller? Is he your dad?

    Fair enough... just don't go around wearing a Zeppelin T-shirt because its "trendy".

    yes, i understand its lets you get out faster and safer from any parking spot to just drive forward when you're leaving.
    yes, i understand your job may require it and so thats what you're used to.

    but for the love of all that is holy, DO BETTER.

    if you back into the spot, crooked, then pull forward, then back in again, crooked again, then try it ONE MORE TIME before you finally get it right- then i hate to tell you but you are not cut out for this life and you need to go practice in an empty lot somewhere before you commit to it any further and ruin the experience for the rest of us.

    or install a backup camera, you can get them off ebay for like 12 bucks and it takes like 15 mins of crawling around under the rear of the truck to get it set up properly.

    Honestly for me it’s anyone who regularly backs into their parking spots whether they do a good job or not. Just seems so pretentious 😅

    how do you feel about punisher stickers on the rear windows? because i gotta say that really winds me up too

    Are used to wear a punisher T-shirt to play paintball in. As far as parking, pull through or go home

    Back in parking is especially obnoxious when pull through parking abounds

    The dude abounds ...

    Or wait he abides - nvm 🤷‍♂️

    Ugh...when I took a history of pop music in Uni (super fun class!) these total hipster girls who were wearing all the hipster-ish styles of the early 2010s (and I swear had been talking about Mumford and Sons) turned to each other and said “Who’s Bob Dylan?!” when the prof mentioned something about him. It made me irrationally angry and still does...hah. I should get over it.

    Did It bother you that they didn’t know bob dylan because they were in a music class??

    Maybe 25% that, but mainly because their style was clearly influenced by the 1950/60s folk movement (I know folk music really has much deeper and older roots than the 1950/60s) and they didn’t know who one of the most iconic persons of that movement was. I mean I’m not saying it wasn’t pretentious of me 🤷🏻‍♀️. At least they would have learned who Dylan was when we covered that era of pop music.

    Bob Dylan's voice annoys me.

    But what annoys me more is when I get yelled at for not doing something I was TOLD not to do but the person only wants to know if it was done and not the why of it.

    The whys are important!
