I couldn't decide if I wanted to drive the Shelby or the Range Rover. I was drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper, so I went with the RR so I could put it into the built in refrigerator in the center console for the short drive to work.

Got to my destination, and realized I never flipped the fridge on :(

Spent so much on the toilet that you can't afford good TP? I'd give up a lot of stuff before I downgrade my asswipe.
This. Probably fell for that 1000 square per roll marketing. Great, 1000 squares but I can still see a nipple in my skin mag through 3 plys.

You win. This is the ultimate FWP.

Custodians haven't picked up the trash in our lab for the last 3 work days.

Sending the email to our building manager, demanding rectification, raised my BP by 15 points.

:mad:

This is a chance to sound like a super-douche and brag about almost any material possession you own! I know ATOT can do better than this. :p

I forgot to put cokes in the fridge last night, so I had to put some in the freezer before I had my morning caffeine fix. And I forgot to charge my ecig, so I have to puff tethered by a USB cable.

Bought a cup of ice at the cafeteria for 10 cents. Took it back to my desk, emptied my 16 oz soda from a bottle into it, and then was called abruptly and asked to join a meeting online to fix a problem from the weekend. Got done an hour later, went to get my drink, and it was watered down.

Warm soda is the worse. Drinking it warm and watered down is akin to barbarism.

No, that's not the problem. My Guatemalan hottie woman-servant who usually wipes me I had let take an hour off for her mothers funeral. She does my wiping and if her fingers break through I rather enjoy it. I buy the cheap stuff on purpose.

Went to my favorite BBQ joint and they were already out of Brisket at Lunch time. I got there 30 minutes late and it was already gone.

I can't express how sad I was. I had this lunch planned since Friday, I knew what sides I was going to get and everything.
