@Mures I'm about 90% sure it's scammers checking to see if you're number is valid. Expect the scam calls and texts to ramp up. Dunno how you got on their lists, but you are now. It started the same for me. Look up some of the numbers on the internet and you'll probably find someone who took the call and can tell you what the scam is.

Oh and if you have your name on your outgoing message, you should remove that. Freaked me out the first time a scammer called and knew me by name. It wasn't until I hung up that I realized they must have gotten it from my outgoing message.

Cabbies that NEVER use signals. Their job is to DRIVE for a living and they can't do basic shit like let people know if they are turning or not. I'm glad Uber and Lyft are taking away business from those fucking assholes.

This reminds me of a rustle I have. I have a home phone number simply because it made my business internet service cheaper, and because it is convenient to use that when I have long phone calls to friends and relatives vs. a cell phone. But I only have about 3 people that even have that number, so virtually 99% of the calls that come into it are scams/telemarketers. Fortunately most of them are during the day when I'm at work, but every time I get one that I notice, I add it to the phone's block list.

I've run out of space on the block list just recently :( I can't add any new ones unless I delete old ones, and fuck trying to do that.

Oh, and tangential rustle, what the fuck good is the Do Not Call list? Every number I've had since its inception has been on that list, and it doesn't seem to fucking matter.

Truthfully, if they're straight up scams they probably spoof the number anyway. There's probably no reason to keep a number on that list more than a month. If they're listed chronologically, just start deleting the oldest entries.

Being raised in an ass backwards small white farm town in Wisconsin (had no clue non whites existed until I moved to CA), always pro republican despite all family being union workers. And now here I am, a union worker with a real threat of Trump shutting down my company because damn republicans hate the railroad. On top of that the freight conductors/engineers union could potentially go on strike this year should they not get a fair contract renewal and sure enough I'll get fucked if that happens even as a passenger RR employee.

On the bright side, if you play the stock market at all, keep an eye out on X or any other stock that deals with/needs coal. If freight does strike you may be able to make some money off that shit.

You know what's really rustling my jimmies right now is the fact that roughly 50% of the threads on the first page are related to the fucking asshat of the year. God damnit why do you need that many threads for that shit.

I share a large office with another person. Partly due to his job vs. mine, and partly because I just don't give a fuck, he has like 3x the desk space I do. Most of it is covered with crap/work. A new-ish employee is constantly talking to him about work, and without fail they use the clean fucking corner of my desk instead of his. Of course I say something eventually, but they act like I'm a monster or something. So I put shit on the edge for a couple months so they couldn't use it, which they commented on, and the moment I cleaned that shit off this morning...back to using my fucking desk!

That's how shooting sprees at work start. I had a moron that I shared an office with who got so used to asking me for answers that he just ended up totally lazy. I'm surprised he didn't ask me what his name was. Anyways his desk was a mess and I'm a bit of a neat freak that 'keeps everything in it's place'. One day he gets up, walks across the room, grabs my stapler, walks back to his desk and uses it. I then pointed out that his stapler was within arms reach on his own desk, he just didn't know where it was in his clutter.

Small and petty thing, but still rustled. I've been on night shift since I started my job 7 months ago. Shift is 12am-12pm four days a week. The understanding since day 1 is that when we get a new hire I switch to a human shift. We get a new hire on January 2nd, and his training is complete this week. The schedule that went out when he was hired shows me switching to day shift on January 30th. Everyone signs off on it, everyone confirms by e-mail they understand when their new shifts will start. Today, the last day of my work week before I switch over next Monday, boss e-mails me 30 minutes prior to the end of my shift saying 'why did you accept X training event on your calendar for next Wednesday? You'll be working.'

Turns out he'd decided that the new guy ought to have one more full week of day shift to get acclimated, but the only person he told this to was the new guy. One more week of night shift isn't a big deal, but there's literally been a full month of everyone concerned signing off on the new schedules, boss included. If he hadn't just decided to review the mandatory training calendar I'd have gotten an angry call at midnight later this week asking me where the fuck I was.

Youtube. People are going overboard. It's getting so that anytime I look for information most of the useful looking results are fucking youtube videos. Someone write the fucking shit down already, I don't have time to watch an 18 minute video to see if your shit applies to what I'm looking for.

I mean don't get me wrong, I do think how to and trouble shooting videos are useful, but just the same, I'd rather read the steps first and go to a video if something is still unclear.

I Fucking Love Science alone is a jimmy rustler for me. Sometimes they post legit stuff, sure, but other times they post shit about some guy singing to water to improve its health benefits when you drink it. Yet all the girls that want to claim to be nerdy even though all they are is attention whores follow it and repost it like they are the next fucking Einstein. There are so many other good science sites out there, but no, IFLS is the one that gets all the attention. Rustles me something fierce.

Got into a screaming match with a coworker.

We're both delivery drivers. He got hired on a few months before I did, which in his world means I'm his employee. For the past year I've kept my mouth shut about him nickle and diming me every time we work together. He'd leave me deliveries that were going to the projects because the Kang nogs don't tip, take more than his fair share on every rotation, and lecture me constantly about following the rules (which changed regularly to suit his needs.) Today we go in the order of the tickets' arrival because I suggest grouping them in a sensible fashion. Tomorrow we do them in groups so he can take a bunch all going to the same area while I'm stuck driving all over the fucking city with the leftovers.

Went pretty well. I don't know how a pathological liar's head works but it made it incredibly easy to explain to the manager how and why I was getting fucked over by this guy, because in his genius/desperation to win an argument, he accused me of pulling the shit he does to me. That's fine I guess?

Writing's on the wall. I don't want to work with him anymore, and the manager was pretty unequivocal about the fact that he prefers my work standards over fatso's. Fully intend to weasel up another altercation to get him kicked off his Friday shift permanently.
