I don't fancy myself a Karen in the slightest but there would be zero chance I'd let that fly especially if the service was less than stellar.

I’m not sure why that happens, but it may be because some slower drivers are avoiding the right lane because of people merging. What are the on-ramps like?

This is center of WI we are talking about. It was 6am this morning as well and I was the only one at my on ramp, and I think there was 1 car at the next onramp merging. This is all the time, no matter time or traffic flow.
Pretty sure it was yesterday I was swearing under my breath as a I had to pass on the right driving my kid home from work because the car in the middle lane was going about 71 and the car in the left was probably 70 and right at it's back bumper.

I guess it could be. If so, pray it doesn't catch on in your neck of the woods.

My sister-in-law is a Karen and I really thought she'd make a scene. She had to be biting her tongue due to the occasion. We simply won't be going back.

I feel like it's gotten worse over the last few years in PA, and while there are lots of not-great ramps around here, people seem to do it even over long exitless stretches. It's absolutely maddening. Sometimes you can do the aforementioned right lane thing and literally pass 30-40 cars because everyone is blocked up in the left two lanes, but it's a risky maneuver in that every now and then you'll quickly catch up to some menace going 45 in the right lane and then you are stuck.

And that's not to say it's backwards or something. They just don't distinguish any lane, including the left, as being for passing. It's incomprehensible. Next time some yayhoo is going slow in the left lane in your state, sneak a peak at the license plate. Even money says they're from Iowa. State should be kicked out of the union.

Women who get the absurdly long and disgusting looking fake nails. To the point that they can’t even grab on to things, type a text, etc. These women are usually paired with the 5 inch and caterpillar thick fake eyelash extensions. You look ridiculous.

The fast lane is now the right lane. It's so weird. Nobody teaches left lane is for passing only anymore. So slow drivers go wherever (most content to go as slow as possible in the left two lanes to avoid merging at exits). So because of off ramps at exits the right lane seems to be the fastest to me. Hey, I hate passing people in right lane but if nobody is teaching them to do it correctly why should I sit on their bumper. Safer to hang right and merge into middle lane as needed.
Last week I was behind a ~$180K Maserati Quqadroportte Tropheo with a "Student Driver" sign doing 30 in a 55 in left lane. Not shocked to see it was a Middle Eastern 40+ year old woman that could barely see over the wheel. But hey, she's got her sweet ride so why care about following generally accepted driving principles. I assume she was taught by someone that has no clue as well.
My pet peeve is people leaving tissues and paper towels around. My wife does it all the time.

So my wife is making a slow-cook roast yesterday.
Mrs Brat "What Temp should I put this on?"
Me "275 is what I always use"
Mrs Brat sets the temp at 280
We do this every time

Yeah, I don't get them at all. Some are so thick they look like felt and then they basically touch there eyebrows when their eyes are open. They look like muppets.

Doubtful I’ll ever see an Iowa plate, but I did receive a speeding ticket for 3 over outside of Des Moines. I guess they need to give people a reason to stop?

This is happening more and more on streaming services (with ads) as well. I hate it so much.

Pretty much all things dog at this point in time. Trying to draft a proposal and I want to punch myself as I listen to the dumb dog across the way just repeat barking.
It is like being stuck at the same spot on the living with the land ride in epcot and having to listen to that sound on repeat.
There are like 5 houses within 100 feet of me that have loud barking dogs on repeat.
These people all deserve to be locked in the pit of despair with their stupid dogs.

At the local recycling center, there are no signs for "No scavenging". That really annoys me. I'm ok with people recycling or not recycling. And I wouldn't be tempted to scavenge the stuff that people are getting rid of. But the entire point of recycling is that it's supposed to be environmentally beneficial. There's no form of recycling that's as environmentally friendly (or economically friendly) as letting people take and reuse stuff that others don't need anymore.

Do you think a sign would prevent someone from doing it if they really wanted to anyways?

Look into installing one of those devices on the sides of your house or tree that lets out a silent sound to humans when a bark happens, but is not pleasant to the barking dogs.
ultimatebarkcontrol.com
- Dog Silencer® MAX Multi-Pack – Ultimate Bark Control
The Dog Silencer MAX detects barking automatically and trains dogs up to 300 ft. away. The high-pressure ultrasonic sound can be heard by dogs without bothering people.
The MAX can be used in silent mode, and comes with your own colored faceplate to help blend in wherever you need it. Choose from, matte white, camo, or tree bark patterns.

Do they work?
I just went to go talk to them and be shocked 5 doorbell rings didn't get their attention. This is the second time I have gone over there and no answer. Which has me even more pissed off since it is a hell of a lot of effort to get to their door on crutches. Their front door faces opposite mine so it is a long haul around. I tried first on my knee scooter, but when I got to the front, there were 11 steps up to their door.
If that thing works I will happily buy since my next step was going to have to be to contact animal control. I am tired of putting up with it.

Can't remember where it was (Reason magazine maybe?), but years ago I read an opinion piece arguing that the US should abandon all recycling programs and just do what third world countries do - normalize having roving groups of people going through the trash and making a profit off of recyclable/reusable stuff. Doubt many people want that, although we do have people that go through our neighborhood on trash night and grab lawnmowers, furniture, etc. and load them into a pickup truck, which seems fine to me. Wife actually got a sweet ceramic pig out of somebody's trash earlier this year. It's in our entryway.

Look at the website, there are reviews and looks like it's well reviewed. No experience with them personally.
Going and talking to these people is pointless wasted effort. And you're gonna go to all 5 white trash houses and say what exactly? If they have no shame in letting their dog bark all day, then they won't care about a neighbor asking to stop. You gotta do, what you gotta do.

no idea why someone would want to get rid of that?!!

Well after today I am fairly certain my assumption is correct for the worst offender. I think it is working parents and their son is the one that lets them out. I think he just goes downstairs and games.
It would be annoying to listen to them scratching and barking to get back in if they were your own dogs.
I haven't "met" them, but they seem like a normal couple. Yard is well kept, cars are nice.
The kid definitely looks like a slug though.
Maybe in some cases. The combination of the signs and the guys working there who keep a pretty close on things certainly would have some impact.

Absolutely bleeping not. I can hear those things. So can a lot of people. They are very painful and can be quite damaging to humans.

The greatest day of my adult life was the day that they laid Google Fiber through my neighborhood and I got to call AT&T and tell them to kiss my ### and cancel my internet service. Absolutely miserable company to deal with.

agreed. OP is worded .... unclearly.Lol yeah this is weirdThen why would you want a sign that says "no scavenging"?

Yep. That would drive me insane. We have one dog in the neighborhood that does that a couple of times a day. At some point, I may have to deal with that.offdee said:
