Random Fail: First World Problems

I tried a new pepper sauce. It's amazing.

Turns out it's not sold on this coast.

Gotta order a half gallon from Amazon.

Life sure is tough.

Deets man. Like name/what kind of sauce. Just good by itself or good to cook with other spice/sauces?

[Zetanio]

It's good by itself. I could see it being good to cook with as well. My buddy had a bottle he brought with him from Cali. Fucking amazing on tacos.

Chunky Garlic Pepper Plant

The Pepper Plant hot sauces are my favorite. I will have to try their chunky garlic. I eat their regular on my eggs in the morning all the time. My work always has a bottle of it in the food area during breakfast.

It is really good on breakfast burritos too. Near my house is a place that makes delicious breakfast burritos that I like to put that stuff on. Damn now I need a breakfast burrito.

I had to out weaboo one of my sister's friends today and it made me feel dirty.

Sister posted an article about a kotatsu and asked her friend if it was real. Friend said no. (Friend had stayed in Japan for a few months, she took Japanese at our college like me, but different years.) I had to correct her, and she had to backpedal a little.


[edit] Which is weird since we took the classes at the same school I could have sworn our textbooks talked about it, but I can't remember.

[Zetanio]

Fuckin weab.

This is the most depressing thing I've read all day, and I read about a fat foot earlier.

My office is tucked away in a corner of the building by the training rooms. The training room that is directly behind my office has really thin walls and I hear every word they say. Most of the time I zone it out but today I didn't. My god, some of the shit that we feed new sales employees makes me bury my head in my hands.

We are a good company that genuinely cares and puts the customer first all the time but just too much feel good and not enough realism for my liking.

Onto a real fail for me. I'm on vacation and our daughter's twin bed comes tomorrow. We are going to sell off the crib/changing table and my son is getting her bed. And as I took the pictures I broke down 'cause it was really sinking in that this is it. The crib is going. There will be no more babies. And I want another so badly. Logically for so many reasons two is enough, but I can't help it. I don't want that phase to be over. Shit sucks ;_;

calm your uterus

[Cassalot]

I got really emotional as well when we took our daughter's crib apart. buuut we plan to have 1 more baby because like you said, 2 seems like the perfect number.

I live in an area that is being over run by tourists. Our rate of visitors has increased drastically in the last couple of years. Now we have always been a very touristy area and locals favorite past times has always included complaining about or making fun of stupid tourists. From stupid terrible drivers to people who ask painfully stupid questions like "What lake is that?" (pointing at the Pacific ocean)

Lately though it has started to get out of hand to the point where driving on the one and only highway in my area is a nightmare and unsafe because people park in the middle of the road on blind corners and walk in the middle of the road or do other unsafe things. Not only that but the parks in the area are suffering as well, more people means trampled habitats, more graffiti, more trash etc. Lots of people go off trail and hurt themselves, die, or destroy sensitive environments.

Locals are left with the mess to clean up.

Now this is all par for the course there are lots of touristy areas in the world that are facing similar problems due to over tourism. The thing that is annoying is the self righteous holier than thou assholes who are starting to pop up who denounce any irritation with tourists and anytime someone complains about anything dismisses it by saying "You should be happy to be here" "You have nothing to complain about" "We need tourists to support the economy"

Mother fuckers there is a big difference between balancing tourism being ok with it but wishing it would slow down and wishing there were no tourists at all. I am so tired of these people who are so incredibly dismissive and completely over simplify a complex problem.

They are just as bad as the people who want to close the road and not allow any tourists.

Sorry but I just had to rant.

your local government is dropping the ball. You should start and Airbnb and fucking cash in bro

Unincorporated area not technically a town so our local government is limited. I am just tired of people making all or nothing type arguments I see the same thing happen in politics and social issues too in the world at large.

Airbnb is illegal here and also a hot button item as well the community is sharply divided against or for it.

No not Hawaii. Though very similar just not tropical. Though to be fair I think Hawaii does have a lot of issues associated with over tourism. I just was reading about how the Great Wall of China is getting over visited to death as was Yosemite until they started limiting visitors.

Second fail for the day. My wife and I were renting out our house to some people and they paid us with a Western Union money order on their last month in the house which we did not think too much about at the time but let me tell you those things are such a pain in the ass to get rid of/cash.

My wife took it to wells fargo where we bank and they took it put the money in our account then took the money out and returned the check because the name on the money order was my wifes married name and our account still had her maiden name on it and for security reasons wells fargo is cracking down on that now. No biggie just some extra paper work and time in the branch and she updated her name on the account. Now same thing happened again, they took the check cashed it, put the money in our account and three days later took the money back out of the account. Apparently they weren't supposed to take the check at all in the first place.

Wells Fargo doesn't accept Western Union and will not work with them.

What a pain in the ass.

[BaneTheBrawler]

Your real problem is Wells Fargo. They're the Comcast of banks.
