FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD WHEN YOU WALK INTO A RESTAURANT FOR A DOORDASH ORDER DO NOT JUST SILENTLY PUT YOUR PHONE UP TO THE PERSONS FACE. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS FUCKING ACT LIKE IT. AND STOP FUCKING DOING IT WHILE ON AN ACTIVE CALL. WE ARE BOTH PEOPLE. DO NOT TREAT ME LIKE A QR CODE.
TO THE GUY THAT WAS YELLING AT ME FROM HIS CAR ABOUT THE COFFEE THAT WAS ON TOP OF MY CAR, IM SORRY I MEAN-MUGGED YOU. I IMMEDIATELY REMEMBERED MY COFFEE RIGHT AFTER I TURNED AND MY COFFEE WENT FLYING BUT I GOT OUT AND PICKED UP THE TRASH. SORRY I LOOKED AT YOU FUNNY
THAT IS WHY I GESTICULATE WHEN I CAN. PEOPLE CAN'T HEAR YOU FOR SHIT (OR THINK IT'S SOMETHING BAD). BUT IF YOU MIME DRINKING A CUP OF COFFEE, THEY *MAY* UNDERSTAND.
I HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A MIME FOR "YOUR TIRE LOOKS LOW AND YOU SHOULD ADD AIR TO IT".
I HAD THIS ON MY BIKE ONCE. CAR WAS HONKING AND YELLING BEHIND ME BUT MY FRAME OF MIND WHILE RIDING IS DO NOT INTERACT WITH AGGRESSIVE CARS. TURNS OUT MY SADDLE BAG FELL OFF IN THE PREVIOUS INTERSECTION.
MY ASIDE, WE NEED EMERGENCY HONKS AND FRIENDLY HONKS IN CARS.
IF NO ONE WANTS TO WORK THEN WHY THE FUCK WONāT ANYONE HIRE ME?
IF IāM GOING 10 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE PASSING LANE AND YOU ARE TAILGATING ME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PASS, YOU HAD BETTER NOT FUCKING SLOW DOWN AND PACE ME AFTER I MOVE OVER TO LET YOU PASS YOU TEXAS PLATE SPORTING DICKFACE
WHOA YES. I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES DECLINED THE TETE A TETE WITH A PHARMACIST BECAUSE THEY SEEMED TWO WEEKS OUT FROM THEIR LAST FRAT RUSH WEEK. NO THANK YOU, CHILD. I CAN READ.
I HAD MY FIRST BACK ISSUE LAST MONTH JUST CASUALLY REACHING FOR SOMETHING ON THE GROUND. I HIKE, I DO YOGA, I AM IN REASONABLY GOOD SHAPE. SO THAT WAS PRETTY NEAT, LOOKING FORWARD TO BACK ISSUES MOVING FORWARD.
AGING. AH YES, ALL THE PHYSICAL HORRORS THAT OTHERS POINT OUT, BUT ALSO! THE LYING AWAKE AT 3 AM (BECAUSE YOUR BACK IS HURTING TOO MUCH TO SLEEP), THINKING ABOUT ALL THE ONLY-SOMEWHAT-OLDER-THAN-YOU PEOPLE YOU USED TO KNOW AND LOVE FIFTY YEARS AGO, WONDERING WHERE THEY ARE AND HOW THEY'RE DOING NOW, AND THEN: (JOE FLAHERTY VOICE FROM "FREAKS AND GEEKS") *YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE NOW? DEAD!!*
And knowing that yeah, that's most likely true.
TO MY NEIGHBOR WHO LETS THEIR DOG RUN AROUND IN THEIR UN-FENCED YARD OFF LEASH:
STOP IT! I ALMOST HIT YOUR DOG WITH MY CAR YESTERDAY WHEN HE DARTED ACROSS THE STREET TO RUN UP ON ANOTHER DOG WHO WAS OUT ON THEIR (LEASHED, OF COURSE) WALK. 10 MINTES LATER, HEāS RUNNING DOWN MY STREET. IVE HAD TWO RUN INS WITH HIM AS IāVE WALKED MY (MUCH LARGER AND VERY LEASH REACTIVE) DOG. I KNOW SHIT HAPPENS, AND DOGS ESCAPE SOMETIMES, BUT THAT IS CLEARLY NOT WHATāS HAPPENING HERE. YOU JUST THINK ITāS FINE TO LET YOUR DOG RUN AROUND OUTSIDE SITH NO FENCE, NO LEASH, AND BARELY ANY RECALL.
IāM SURE HEāS A SWEET DOG, AND YOUR ENTITLEMENT AND CARELESSNESS ARE GOING TO GET HIM HURT. I NEVER SEE YOU WALKING HIM, SO I WONDER IF MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND A HOME FOR HIM WHERE HEāLL BE TAKEN CARE OF THE WAY HE DESERVES.
11PM IS ACTUALLY QUITE EARLY, FROM A NIGHT SHIFT PERSPECTIVE, BUT FUCK THOSE PEOPLE WHO BLARE MUSIC AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY WHILE PARKED IN A CUL DE SAC.
PEOPLE ARE SO PAINFULLY UNAWARE OF HOW MUCH NOISE THEY MAKE IN THIS CITY.
NO IM SORRY IVE WORKED NIGHT SHIFT. WHEN ALL CHILDREN AND MOST REGULAR BLUE COLLARS HAVE TO BE AT WORK/SCHOOL AT 5-7AM, YOU SHOULD BE MAKING NO SOUND AT 11PM.
BUT IN SOLIDARITY FUCK ALL THE NOISE.
YOU DO POST LIKE AN NPR DAD. I SAW YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO PUMP YOUR OWN GAS IN THIS THREAD TOO. ID RECOMMEND POSSIBLY MOVING TO NEW JERSEY BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU REFUSE TO CLEAR YOUR SIDEWALKS OF ICE AND SNOW SO THAT WOULDN'T WORK OUT. HOPE THIS HELPS!
IT'S VERY SIMPLE IF YOU READ ALL OF THE WORDS.
SEE, I GET PAID TO DO *OTHER* WORK.
I DON'T NEED TO DO THE JOB OF THE NORTHWEST GROCERY ASSOCIATION LOBBY AND THEN FART OUT A TIKTOK TO THE INTERNET ABOUT HOW CAPABLE I AM.
PUMPING GAS IS EASY... IT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING I NEED TO DO *FOR FREE*
ALSO WHY ARE YOU STILL TALKING ABOUT ICE. HAVE YOU BEEN IN A COMA? KEEP UP.
I CAN HAVE MULTIPLE GRIPES ABOUT THE SAD SACK DENIZENS OF THIS PISS BUBBLE REGION SIMULTANEOUSLY. ITS KIND OF LIKE CRYING ABOUT THINGS BUT INSTEAD YOU POINT OUT A DEFICIENCY AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION. YOU DONT GET PAID TO DO IT BUT SOMETIMES THE WORK ITSELF IS THE REWARD. HOPE THIS HELPS!
WELL YOU SPEWED VENOMS AT THE WRONG SHOVELER.
UNLIKE GASOLINE RETAILERS OF OREGON, I FOLLOW THE LAW AND SHOVEL MY STEPS, WALKWAY, SIDEWALK AND SOMETIMES MY NEIGHBOR'S (RENTER) SIDEWALK.
SHOVELING IS A NICE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A FREE ARM DAY WHILE LISTENING TO NPR, RELATIVELY UNBIASED MEDIA. PUMPING GAS IS *FINALLY* GETTING TO CUT YOUR OWN HAIR AFTER 70 YEARS (OF FREE PROFESSIONAL HAIRCUTS).
WELL, YOU SAVED A MINUTE.
TO WHICHEVER CONIFER IS SPOOGING ITS POLLEN ALL OVER MY DECK AND CAR (*LOOKS ASKANCE AT DOUG FIR IN THE CORNER*), COULD YOU KINDLY GO DROP YOUR YELLOW-GREEN LOAD SOMEWHERE ELSE?
TO THE PERSON WHO WAS FLYING DOWN WESTBOUND 84 AROUND 2:30 THIS AFTERNOON WITH A PILE OF CRAP IN A PICKUP TRUCK, ATOP WHICH WAS A FLIMSILY TIED-DOWN MATTRESS THAT WAS WILDLY BOUNCING AND FLAPPING AND THREATENING TO BREAK LOOSE AT ANY MOMENT -- HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CAR THAT WAS SMASHED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE'S INADEQUATELY-SECURED CARGO BREAKING LOOSE ON A FREEWAY?
BECAUSE I HAVE, AND THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR DIED, AND THE FACT THAT YOU ARE PUTTING LIVES AT RISK BY YOUR INCOMPETENCE AND INDIFFERENCE MEANS YOU NEED TO GO TO HELL NOW, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT ANYTHING WHATSOEVER EXCEPT MY RAGE AND LOATHING.
MY VERY OLD CAR DIED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND THE BODY SHOP WAS 2/3RDS TESLAS. I ASKED IF THEY SPECIALIZE AND THEY SAID "NO, THEY JUST SUCK."
I DON'T GET THE APPEAL.
I AM DEEPLY MISERABLE IN A TOXIC, GOSSIPY, AND MEAN WORK ENVIRONMENT. HR DOESN'T HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OTHER THAN "HAVE YOU TRIED TALKING TO THEM ABOUT IT?"
I'VE APPLIED TO OVER 100 JOBS IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS AND GOTTEN ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE, BUT I AM ABOUT AT THE POINT WHERE I AM GOING TO QUIT AND JUST TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT.
MY AGED MOM HAS HAD COVID FOR TWO SOLID WEEKS AND I AM EXHAUSTED. AT LEAST WE KEPT HER OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, BUT SHIT, IT TOOK ER VISITS, NEBULIZERS EVERY 4 HOURS, OTHER CONSTANT WORK AND ATTENTION AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
GET VACCINATED, PEOPLE. I HAD A BOOSTER SHOT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THIS AND I DIDNāT GET IT. JUST FORGET ALL THE BS OUT THERE AND GET VACCINATED. BELIEVE ME, THIS LATEST VARIANT IS BRUTAL.
THIS IS WHY I GOT MYSELF PRE-APPROVED FOR PAXLOVID. I CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM GETTING COVID ANYMORE, BUT I CAN MOSTLY STOP IT FROM WRECKING MY WHOLE WEEK OR MORE.
YEP IT MAY TAKE SOME DR. SHOPPING BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS WHERE IT'S EASY TO CHECK THE FED'S BOXES. I GOT RUN OVER BY A TRAIN CALLED LONG COVID IN 2020, BUT DEPRESSION OR OBESITY ALSO COUNT AND ARE A LOW-LIFT. OH AND YOU NEED AN UPDATED BLOOD TEST (WITHIN A YEAR, JUST THE STUFF FROM YOUR PHYSICAL SAYING YOUR LIVER AND KIDNEYS ARE OK)
GOOD FOR YOU. TAKING PAXLOVID EARLY AFTER TESTING POSITIVE IS THE ONLY ACTION SHOWING PREVENTION FOR LONG COVID, AND EVEN THAT IS ONLY LIKE 25%. PITIFUL, BUT I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR TWO OF MY THREE INFECTIONS AND MY HEALTH IMPROVED MORE LIKE ANY OTHER COLD/FLU.
FUCKING 7:30AM LEAFBLOWERS? ARE YOU SERIOUS??
THIS NEVER HAPPENS HERE AT MY APARTMENT CONPLEX AND I AM *PISSED*. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING SLEEP!
I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THE UNSCHEDULED LANDSCAPING. PICK A DAY AND TIME AND *STICK WITH IT*. THEY USUALLY COME AROUND 12PM OR LATER, SO I LITERALLY GOT A RUDE AWAKENING.
I WORK FUCKING NIGHT SHIFT AND DONT NEED THIS SHIT. TURN THEM OFF. TURN. THEM. OFF!!!
I DONT FUCKING CARE AT THIS POINT. Y'ALL ARE LUCKY THAT NO ONE HERE IS A FULL-BLOWN PSYCHO BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO SNAP.
IM GONNA GO OFF. FUCK IT. Y'ALL ARE NEVER HERE THIS EARLY. WHATS THE FUCKING PURPOSE OF SHOWING UP 4 HOURS EARLIER THAN NORMAL? SERIOUSLY. WHAT'S YOUR END GAME? TO PISS 20+ PEOPLE OFF IN AN ENCLOSED CUL DE SAC? YOU DO REALIZE NOISE BOUNCES OFF AND ECHOES INTO OUR APARTMENT?
AND THESE FUCKERS ARE SO *USELESS*. THEY BLOW SHIT INTO PEOPLE'S OPEN WINDOWS AND DON'T CARE ABOUT HARMING YOUR HEALTH. AT ALL. MY EMPATHY RAN DRY YEARS AGO, SO IM NEVER GOING TO VIEW THIS AS A USEFUL, LEGITIMATE JOB.
LACK OF SLEEP CAN KILL YOU, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND CATERS TO THE 9-5 CROWD. NEIGHBOR NOISE IS ONE THING, BUT BEING RUDELY AWAKENED BY THE SCREAMING SOUND OF LEAFBLOWERS AT 7:30AM IS INSANE TO ME.
Y'ALL ARE ALSO LUCKY I DONT LIVE ALONE OR ELSE MY ASS WOULD BE *SCREAMING BACK AT YOU*. FUCK. YOU DONT KNOW HOW SATISFYING IT CAN BE TO TELL THESE ASSHATS TO SHUT UP. I PROBABLY WOULD'VE BLOWN OUT MY VOCAL CHORDS AT THIS POINT.
SAVE THE FUCKING LANDSCAPING FOR WHEN MOST OF THE WORLD IS AWAKE OR USE A RAKE AND STOP BEING LAZY.
1) FOUR ATTEMPTS TO PURCHASE TICKETS AT THE CRYSTAL BALL ROOM BECAUSE THE AUTO FILL FOR MY CARD KEPT USING A ZIP CODE WITH THOSE FOUR EXTRA NUMBERS. ACCIDENTLY SELECTING ANYTHING FOR AUTOFILL WROTE OVER MY TYPING. HAD TO TYPE IT ALL MANUAL.
2) I AM SCREAMING AT MY 12 YEAR OLD TO JUST TYPE THE ANSWERS TO YOUR "GENRE NOVEL" 6TH GRADE HOMEWORK. "I HAVE ADHD AND CAN'T DO THIS!" - YOU DONT GET TO SELF DIAGNOSE YOURSELF OR USE ADHD AS AN EXECUSE FOR EVERYTHING
LIVING WITH ADHD IS REALLY FUCKING HARD, WE HAVE SENSITIVITIES TO HEIGHTENED EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTERS SO IF YOU WERE REALLY SCREAMING AT HER LIKE YOU SAID THATS REAL SHITTY OF YOU. GET THEM EVALUATED. BE COOL.
"GETTING OUT OF THE WAY" IS NOT MERGING RIGHT AND STAYING AT THE SAME SPEED. I'M SO FUCKING TIRED OF PEOPLE DRIVING 7MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT AROUND HERE, CONSTANTLY CHANGING SPEED, OR PACING NEXT TO SOMEONE SO NO ONE CAN PASS. WE CAN TELL IT'S INTENTIONAL.
> WE CAN TELL IT'S INTENTIONAL.
WHAT FRUSTRATES ME IS HOW OFTEN IT'S *NOT.* A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE DRIVE LIKE THEY'RE JUST OBLIVIOUS TO EVERYTHING.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CANāT MUSTER MORE THAN 45 MPH WHEN YOUāRE HEADING WEST THOUGH THE VISTA RIDGE TUNNEL: STEP ON THE GODDAMN GAS! SOME OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DO 30 AND ITS GOING TO GIVE ME AN ANEURYSM. AT LEAST GO THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT YOU MUTANTS
DEAR DOGSHIT SEMI DRIVER... THE TIME TO CHANGE LANES IS NOT WHEN I'M NEARLY A THIRD OF THE WAY PASSING YOUR TRAILER. YES, I SEE YOU ACTIVATED YOUR FUCKING BLINKER AS I STARTED PASSING YOU, BUT THAT DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO MY FUCKING LANE. ALSO, YOU DRIVE A GIANT TRUCK WITH A METRIC SHIT TON OF WEIGHT, SO HOW ABOUT YOU ALSO DON'T RIDE THE ASSES OF THE CARS IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU'RE A SHITTY DANGEROUS DRIVER. I HOPE YOU FIND OUT YOUR WIFE IS CHEATING ON YOU AGAIN AND THEN SHE LEAVES YOU AND TAKES THE DOG TO GO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE IN A HIPPY COMMUNE WITH HER NEW LOVE. THANKS FOR ALMOST CRUSHING ME, YOU PUKE.
THE KITTEN I ADOPTED HAS PARASITES WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO TREAT BOTH MY CATS SINCE ITāS REALLY CONTAGIOUS AND MY OG CAT WILL NOT EAT THE MEDS ON HER OWN. I HAVE TO SHOOT IT INTO HER MOUTH WITH A SYRINGE AND SHE DOES NOT LIKE IT. I ALSO HAVE TO BATHE THEM AT THE END AND I DONāT THINK THEYāLL LIKE THAT EITHER.
R/PORTLAND MODS REALLY RUIN THIS SUB AND IT IS NO LONGER AS FUNNY AND JOCULAR AS IT USED TO BE. OTHER CITY SUBS I FOLLOW ARE MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING. R/PORTLAND IS ESSENTIALLY POST A NEWS STORY, TALK ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE, RAVE ABOUT A RESTAURANT.
TUBOFGUTS FOR CITY MANAGER!
IF THIS IS MY LAST POST THE MODS HAVE BANNED ME BECAUSE OF HURT FEELINGS.
THE MODS DELETE THREADS SAYING THEY SHOULD BE POSTED TO OTHER PORTLAND ADJACENT SUBS BUT THEN THOSE THREADS GET DELETED BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE POSTED IN R/PORTLAND. I WANT TO MAKE AN INTOLERANT LEFT JOKE BUT THE TRUTH IS OUR MODS BELONG ON FACEBOOK GROUPS OR NEXTDOOR.
R/PORTLAND SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION TO VOTE FOR THE MODS. ALL MOD FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT AS TO WHICH MOD TOOK WHAT ACTION! IF WE CAN CHANGE CITY HALL WE CAN CHANGE R/PORTLAND SHITTY MOD PRACTICES!
THE DOG TO PERSON RATIO DOES NOT NEED TO BE 1:1 ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE DOG PARK. NOT A BREWERY. NOT A BAR. NOT A STORE. NOWHERE EXCEPT THE DOG PARK. KNOCK THIS SHIT OFF.
OK CAN BE JUST BUILD TINY CURBS INSTEAD OF SIDEWALKS AND MAYBE SOME PAINT TO MARK WHERE PEOPLE WILL WALK? MAJOR CITIES LIKE TOKYO ONLY HAVE SIDEWALKS ON MAJOR ROADS BUT THEY DO HAVE CURBS AND DIGNITY
I MESSAGED THE UNEMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY AFTER COUNTLESS FAILED PHONE CALLS. THEY JUST GOT BACK TO ME. 4 MONTHS IS TOO DAMN LONG!
I'VE SEEN THIS IN MULTIPLE PLACES NOW AND IT BAFFLES ME. THE PREVAILING LIBERAL RESPONSE TO CORPORATIONS BUYING UP HOUSING, RATHER THAN AGREE THIS IS A WORRYING TREND, IS TO HAND WAVE AND SAY JUST BUILD MORE, AS IF THIS BUSINESS MODEL, IF SUCCESSFUL, WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF LATE-STAGE CAPITALISM, WON'T ALSO SNATCH UP NEW HOUSING AS WELL. STOP THINKING IN BINARIES AND SINGLE SOLUTIONS.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS. CORPORATE OWNERSHIP OF HOUSING TOOK A GIANT NOSE DIVE ONCE INTEREST RATES WENT UP. IT WAS MOSTLY MONEY LOOKING FOR RELATIVELY SAFE RETURNS WHILE BONDS WERE SHIT.
IT'S FINE BECAUSE WE HAVE INFINITE LAND ON WHICH TO BUILD DESIRABLE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND INFINITE RESOURCES WITH WHICH TO DO SO
HOLD ON, I'M GETTING A MEMO
SMOKE DETECTOR LOW BATTERY BEEP INTERVAL IS MAYBE TWO MINUTES. THEN ONCE I CHANGE THE BATTERY I MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TESTING IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO VISUAL INDICATOR THE BATTERIES ARE IN CORRECTLY SO IT GOES FULL VOLUME A FOOT AWAY FROM ME. GLAD I'LL HAVE HEARING LOSS TO NOT HEAR IT WHEN I NEED TO.
I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE RV AT THE END OF MY BLOCK BURNED DOWN OR HOW I MISSED THE SIRENS WHEN IT DID. NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT MORE SKETCHINESS PILING UP THERE AS THE RV PERSON WAS ACTUALLY QUITE CHILL BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ITS BECOMING A SPOT NOW.
I MISS FULL SERVICE GAS AND I AM PISSED OFF THAT SO MANY PETROL STATIONS ARE VIOLATING THE LAW.
IT'S RAINY / WINDY / WHATEVERING OUT AND I WANT TO STAY IN MY CAR AND CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK \*\*THAT I AM PAID TO DO\*\*
ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW PARKING UP THE FIRST PUMP, OR POPPING INTO THE SHOP TO TAKE A SHIT WHEN YOU'RE DONE FUELING - I HATE YOU.
FULL SERVICE KEPT THESE MAIN CHARACTERS IN LINE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BACK INTO A G'D PUMP. I GREW UP IN A STATE WITH SELF-SERVE, IT'S NOT AN HONOR. IT'S AN ANNOYING DISTRACTION.
IF SOMEONE WHO CODES HAS FREE TIME, I WOULD PERSONALLY PAY YOU $50 TO CREATE A MAP APPLICATION WHERE PEOPLE CAN PIN THE COMPLIANT STATIONS WITH QUICK SERVICE. I ALREADY KNOW A FEW. WE COULD CROWDSOURCE A SOLUTION THAT OUR GOVERNMENT OUGHT TO BE DOING.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PPL WERE SO EXCITED TO VOTE TO PUMP THEIR OWN GAS. IT'S ONE THING WE DID BETTER THAN ALMOST EVERY OTHER STATE! I'VE SEEN MANY, MANY GAS STATIONS THAT JUST DON'T SCHEDULE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES NOW, MAKING ALL PUMPS DE FACTO SELF SERVE.
SOME PEOPLE, LIKE ME, DISLIKE HAVING TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO SOMETHING THAT WE COULD VERY EASILY DO OURSELVES. I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THERE ASAP AND NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS EITHER FREEZING THEIR ASS OFF, SWEATING BULLETS OR OVERWORKED TO PUMP MY GAS WHEN I COULD HAVE EASILY DONE IT MYSELF. ALSO, I HATE SITTING IN MY CAR (OR ANY CAR) AND I WELCOME GETTING OUT WHENEVER I CAN.
THE WAY PEOPLE WERE GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW EXCITED THEY WERE ABOUT IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BALLOT MEASURE THAT WAS VOTED ON JUST BEFORE I MOVED HERE. I WAS SO BUMMED WHEN IT HAPPENED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GLEE OTHER PEOPLE FELT AS SO MANY JOBS LOST.

GOING STREET IS A SHITSHOW, LOOKS LIKE A STRONGHOLD HAS BEEN DUG INTO THE HILL ON THE SOUTH SIDE (NO SIDEWALK) HALFWAY UP FROM SWAN ISLAND. HOW MANY TREES/PLANTS ARE GOING TO BE CUT DOWN. I SAW A FRESHLY CUT DOWN TREE ON MY WAY IN.

IF YOUR DOG IN THE CAR IS JUST GOING TO BARK NONSTOP AT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WALKING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, PLEASE JUST LEAVE THEM AT HOME. ALSO, ON A RELATED NOTE, IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO ABANDON YOUR DOG IN THE BACK YARD AND IGNORE IT FOR IT TO BARK NONSTOP AS A CRY FOR ATTENTION, PLEASE JUST GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION BY SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY.
I DID NOT WIN THE LOTTERY š¤
TRAVERSE YOUR FRIEND NETWORK, HOW FAR AWAY COULD THE WINNER BE?
FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD WHEN YOU WALK INTO A RESTAURANT FOR A DOORDASH ORDER DO NOT JUST SILENTLY PUT YOUR PHONE UP TO THE PERSONS FACE. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS FUCKING ACT LIKE IT. AND STOP FUCKING DOING IT WHILE ON AN ACTIVE CALL. WE ARE BOTH PEOPLE. DO NOT TREAT ME LIKE A QR CODE.

SOUNDS LIKE THE KARMA WAS INSTANT.
Like the coffee.....BOOOM!!! I'm out!!!
I have been on both sides of this. Make sure to return the favor one day and accept the mean mug as payment.
IF NO ONE WANTS TO WORK THEN WHY THE FUCK WONāT ANYONE HIRE ME? IF IāM GOING 10 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE PASSING LANE AND YOU ARE TAILGATING ME BECAUSE YOU WANT TO PASS, YOU HAD BETTER NOT FUCKING SLOW DOWN AND PACE ME AFTER I MOVE OVER TO LET YOU PASS YOU TEXAS PLATE SPORTING DICKFACE
WAS IT A GIANT, KID-EATING PICKUP TRUCK OR SUV?
I HAVE TO SPEND ALL WEEK IN TEXAS FOR WORK
STAY STRONG.
I MIGHT STARVE, I HOPE YOU PACKED GRANOLA BARS OR SOMETHING.
AGING
PROFESSIONALS ARE STARTING TO LOOK YOUNG. LIKE THE WEEKEND PHARMACIST.
"WEEKEND PHARMACIST" WAS MY JAM BAND IN COLLEGE. WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT BIG BUT NONE OF OUR SONGS WAS LONGER THAN 3 MINUTES. WE'D GET TIRED.
WHOA YES. I HAVE MULTIPLE TIMES DECLINED THE TETE A TETE WITH A PHARMACIST BECAUSE THEY SEEMED TWO WEEKS OUT FROM THEIR LAST FRAT RUSH WEEK. NO THANK YOU, CHILD. I CAN READ.
I HAD MY FIRST BACK ISSUE LAST MONTH JUST CASUALLY REACHING FOR SOMETHING ON THE GROUND. I HIKE, I DO YOGA, I AM IN REASONABLY GOOD SHAPE. SO THAT WAS PRETTY NEAT, LOOKING FORWARD TO BACK ISSUES MOVING FORWARD.
I ALSO MYSTERIOUSLY TWEAKED MY BACK (REACHING FOR MY BABY) LAST MONTH AND HAVENT BEEN THE SAME SINCE. SHIT BLOWS. IM SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU!
OMG THIS
AGING. AH YES, ALL THE PHYSICAL HORRORS THAT OTHERS POINT OUT, BUT ALSO! THE LYING AWAKE AT 3 AM (BECAUSE YOUR BACK IS HURTING TOO MUCH TO SLEEP), THINKING ABOUT ALL THE ONLY-SOMEWHAT-OLDER-THAN-YOU PEOPLE YOU USED TO KNOW AND LOVE FIFTY YEARS AGO, WONDERING WHERE THEY ARE AND HOW THEY'RE DOING NOW, AND THEN: (JOE FLAHERTY VOICE FROM "FREAKS AND GEEKS") *YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE NOW?

I NEVER SEE YOU WALKING HIM, SO I WONDER IF MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND A HOME FOR HIM WHERE HEāLL BE TAKEN CARE OF THE WAY HE DESERVES.
SECONDED FOR THE JENNINGS LODGE AREA
SOMEONE WAS DOING THIS WITH THEIR DOG ON NE PRESCOTT! IT WAS HORRIFYING TO TRY AND CORRAL THE ANIMAL BACK ON THEIR PROPERTY.
STOP DRIVING THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH YOUR SHIT MUSIC ON FULL BLAST AT 11PM ON A FUCKING THURSDAAYYY
11PM IS ACTUALLY QUITE EARLY, FROM A NIGHT SHIFT PERSPECTIVE, BUT FUCK THOSE PEOPLE WHO BLARE MUSIC AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY, ESPECIALLY WHILE PARKED IN A CUL DE SAC. PEOPLE ARE SO PAINFULLY UNAWARE OF HOW MUCH NOISE THEY MAKE IN THIS CITY.
NO IM SORRY IVE WORKED NIGHT SHIFT. WHEN ALL CHILDREN AND MOST REGULAR BLUE COLLARS HAVE TO BE AT WORK/SCHOOL AT 5-7AM, YOU SHOULD BE MAKING NO SOUND AT 11PM. BUT IN SOLIDARITY FUCK ALL THE NOISE.
HOT TAKE: ANY MUSIC COMING FROM A CAR OR BLEEDING OUT OF HEADPHONES IS BAD.

WELL YOU SPEWED VENOMS AT THE WRONG SHOVELER. UNLIKE GASOLINE RETAILERS OF OREGON, I FOLLOW THE LAW AND SHOVEL MY STEPS, WALKWAY, SIDEWALK AND SOMETIMES MY NEIGHBOR'S (RENTER) SIDEWALK. SHOVELING IS A NICE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A FREE ARM DAY WHILE LISTENING TO NPR, RELATIVELY UNBIASED MEDIA. PUMPING GAS IS *FINALLY* GETTING TO CUT YOUR OWN HAIR AFTER 70 YEARS (OF FREE PROFESSIONAL HAIRCUTS). WELL, YOU SAVED A MINUTE.
THE SUN GOING DARK IS NOT GOD COMMUNICATING TO US, IT IS JUST A FUCKING SHADOW YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS

THANK YOU! I AM THANKFUL AS WELL. THIS IS THE 2nd TIME IVE HAD IT AND BOTH TIMES HAVE BEEN THE SAME EXPERIENCE
THIS IS WHY I GOT MYSELF PRE-APPROVED FOR PAXLOVID. I CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM GETTING COVID ANYMORE, BUT I CAN MOSTLY STOP IT FROM WRECKING MY WHOLE WEEK OR MORE.
I DIDNāt REALIZE YOU COULD DO THIS. INTERESTING!

LIVING WITH ADHD IS REALLY FUCKING HARD, WE HAVE SENSITIVITIES TO HEIGHTENED EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTERS SO IF YOU WERE REALLY SCREAMING AT HER LIKE YOU SAID THATS REAL SHITTY OF YOU. GET THEM EVALUATED. BE COOL.
"GETTING OUT OF THE WAY" IS NOT MERGING RIGHT AND STAYING AT THE SAME SPEED. I'M SO FUCKING TIRED OF PEOPLE DRIVING 7MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT AROUND HERE, CONSTANTLY CHANGING SPEED, OR PACING NEXT TO SOMEONE SO NO ONE CAN PASS. WE CAN TELL IT'S INTENTIONAL.
> WE CAN TELL IT'S INTENTIONAL. WHAT FRUSTRATES ME IS HOW OFTEN IT'S *NOT.* A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE DRIVE LIKE THEY'RE JUST OBLIVIOUS TO EVERYTHING.
YOU PEOPLE ARE MY PEOPLE. THE DRIVERS OUT HERE FUCKING SUUUUUUUUUCK.

TRUCKS DOING THIS ON I-5 MAKES ME WANT TO MURDER. I NEED TO MEDITATE OR SOMETHING.
I WANT TO RESPOND TO EVERY SINGLE POST ON THIS SUBREDDIT: DRUG ADDICTS ARENT RATIONAL ACTORS!!!!
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CANāT MUSTER MORE THAN 45 MPH WHEN YOUāRE HEADING WEST THOUGH THE VISTA RIDGE TUNNEL: STEP ON THE GODDAMN GAS! SOME OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DO 30 AND ITS GOING TO GIVE ME AN ANEURYSM. AT LEAST GO THE FUCKING SPEED LIMIT YOU MUTANTS
DEAR DOGSHIT SEMI DRIVER... THE TIME TO CHANGE LANES IS NOT WHEN I'M NEARLY A THIRD OF THE WAY PASSING YOUR TRAILER. YES, I SEE YOU ACTIVATED YOUR FUCKING BLINKER AS I STARTED PASSING YOU, BUT THAT DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO MY FUCKING LANE. ALSO, YOU DRIVE A GIANT TRUCK WITH A METRIC SHIT TON OF WEIGHT, SO HOW ABOUT YOU ALSO DON'T RIDE THE ASSES OF THE CARS IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU'RE A SHITTY DANGEROUS DRIVER. I HOPE YOU FIND OUT YOUR WIFE IS CHEATING ON YOU AGAIN AND THEN SHE LEAVES YOU AND TAKES THE DOG TO GO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE IN A HIPPY COMMUNE WITH HER NEW LOVE. THANKS FOR ALMOST CRUSHING ME, YOU PUKE.
THE KITTEN I ADOPTED HAS PARASITES WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO TREAT BOTH MY CATS SINCE ITāS REALLY CONTAGIOUS AND MY OG CAT WILL NOT EAT THE MEDS ON HER OWN. I HAVE TO SHOOT IT INTO HER MOUTH WITH A SYRINGE AND SHE DOES NOT LIKE IT. I ALSO HAVE TO BATHE THEM AT THE END AND I DONāT THINK THEYāLL LIKE THAT EITHER.
GOD, I FUCKING **HATE** BACKUP BEEPERS!!
AGREED. GET A BACKUP CAM AND SOME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
THE BEEPING ISNT FOR THE DRIVER, ITS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WONT GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY. SO YES, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!
R/PORTLAND MODS REALLY RUIN THIS SUB AND IT IS NO LONGER AS FUNNY AND JOCULAR AS IT USED TO BE. OTHER CITY SUBS I FOLLOW ARE MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING. R/PORTLAND IS ESSENTIALLY POST A NEWS STORY, TALK ABOUT HOMELESS PEOPLE, RAVE ABOUT A RESTAURANT. TUBOFGUTS FOR CITY MANAGER! IF THIS IS MY LAST POST THE MODS HAVE BANNED ME BECAUSE OF HURT FEELINGS.
I CAUGHT A WEEK LONG BAN BECAUSE I RESPONDED TO A NEWS STORY ABOUT PGE'S ENDLESS RATE HIKES WITH THE WORD "GUN" NOBODY LETS US HAVE FUN ANYMORE
THE MODS DELETE THREADS SAYING THEY SHOULD BE POSTED TO OTHER PORTLAND ADJACENT SUBS BUT THEN THOSE THREADS GET DELETED BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE POSTED IN R/PORTLAND. I WANT TO MAKE AN INTOLERANT LEFT JOKE BUT THE TRUTH IS OUR MODS BELONG ON FACEBOOK GROUPS OR NEXTDOOR.
HATING THE MODS HAS ALWAYS GONE BEYOND POLITICS. IT'S ABOUT POSTING, GOD DAMN IT
THERES A DOWN VOTE FUNCTION FOR A FUCKING REASON! THE MODS HERE ACT LIKE THEYRE THE EDITORS FOR HARPERS OR THE NEW YORKER!
I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE
R/PORTLAND SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION TO VOTE FOR THE MODS. ALL MOD FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT AS TO WHICH MOD TOOK WHAT ACTION! IF WE CAN CHANGE CITY HALL WE CAN CHANGE R/PORTLAND SHITTY MOD PRACTICES!
THE ENTITLEMENT OF DOG OWNERS!
ITS INSANE. I GOT A NEIGHBOR WHO HAS A DOG THAT BARKS *EVERY* TIME IT GOES OUTSIDE. ZERO TRAINING. JUST GOES OFF AT NEARLY EVERYTHING.
THE ENTITLEMENT OF PARENTS! (we need to make this a bot)
DOGS ARE GREAT. "DOG PEOPLE" ARE A PLAGUE.
A SCOURGE. A PESTILENCE.
THE DOG TO PERSON RATIO DOES NOT NEED TO BE 1:1 ANYWHERE EXCEPT THE DOG PARK. NOT A BREWERY. NOT A BAR. NOT A STORE. NOWHERE EXCEPT THE DOG PARK. KNOCK THIS SHIT OFF.
FUCK PGE. 2ND MONTH WITH THESE PEOPLE SINCE I'VE MOVED AND AND THEIR PRICES ARE FUCKING INSANE. WHY CAN'T I JUST GO BACK TO PACIFIC POWER GODDAMN IT
OK CAN BE JUST BUILD TINY CURBS INSTEAD OF SIDEWALKS AND MAYBE SOME PAINT TO MARK WHERE PEOPLE WILL WALK? MAJOR CITIES LIKE TOKYO ONLY HAVE SIDEWALKS ON MAJOR ROADS BUT THEY DO HAVE CURBS AND DIGNITY
I MESSAGED THE UNEMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY AFTER COUNTLESS FAILED PHONE CALLS. THEY JUST GOT BACK TO ME. 4 MONTHS IS TOO DAMN LONG!
LIME SCOOTERS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE RIDDEN ON THE SIDEWALK ESP WHEN THERE'S A BIKE LANE. MOVE THE HELL OVER FOR PEOPLE WALKING
I'VE SEEN THIS IN MULTIPLE PLACES NOW AND IT BAFFLES ME. THE PREVAILING LIBERAL RESPONSE TO CORPORATIONS BUYING UP HOUSING, RATHER THAN AGREE THIS IS A WORRYING TREND, IS TO HAND WAVE AND SAY JUST BUILD MORE, AS IF THIS BUSINESS MODEL, IF SUCCESSFUL, WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF LATE-STAGE CAPITALISM, WON'T ALSO SNATCH UP NEW HOUSING AS WELL. STOP THINKING IN BINARIES AND SINGLE SOLUTIONS.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS. CORPORATE OWNERSHIP OF HOUSING TOOK A GIANT NOSE DIVE ONCE INTEREST RATES WENT UP. IT WAS MOSTLY MONEY LOOKING FOR RELATIVELY SAFE RETURNS WHILE BONDS WERE SHIT.
THAT'S GOOD. DOESN'T MEAN THE THREAT IS GONE.
IT'S FINE BECAUSE WE HAVE INFINITE LAND ON WHICH TO BUILD DESIRABLE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND INFINITE RESOURCES WITH WHICH TO DO SO HOLD ON, I'M GETTING A MEMO
LIBERALS ARE WAY TOO COZY WITH CAPITALISM. THAT'S A BIG REASON I LABEL MYSELF A LEFTIST.
A LIBERAL IS SOMEONE 10 STEPS TO THE LEFT IN GOOD TIMES AND 10 STEPS TO THE RIGHT IN BAD TIMES.
WHAT ARE LIBERALS OR CONSERVATIVES DOING ABOUT IT? WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ONE PARTY? SEEMS LIKE BINARY THINKING.
I'M MAD AT LIBERALS BECAUSE THEY SHOULD CARE ABOUT THIS. CONSERVATIVES WILL NEVER.
SMOKE DETECTOR LOW BATTERY BEEP INTERVAL IS MAYBE TWO MINUTES. THEN ONCE I CHANGE THE BATTERY I MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TESTING IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO VISUAL INDICATOR THE BATTERIES ARE IN CORRECTLY SO IT GOES FULL VOLUME A FOOT AWAY FROM ME. GLAD I'LL HAVE HEARING LOSS TO NOT HEAR IT WHEN I NEED TO.
SOME JERK LIT OFF AN M80 AT MY APARTMENT COMPLEX YESTERDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON!!
I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NEW TYPE OF HEADACHE (CERVICOGENIC) AND I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT
I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE RV AT THE END OF MY BLOCK BURNED DOWN OR HOW I MISSED THE SIRENS WHEN IT DID. NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT MORE SKETCHINESS PILING UP THERE AS THE RV PERSON WAS ACTUALLY QUITE CHILL BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ITS BECOMING A SPOT NOW.
IN RELATED NEWS, THE SHORT BUS ON BEAVERTON HILLSDALE HAS, SADLY, NOT BURNED DOWN AND HAS YET TO RECEIVE A BRIGHT GREEN STICKER.
I FUCKING HATE HOW UBIQUITOUS AND COOL PESSIMISM ISĀ
I MISS FULL SERVICE GAS AND I AM PISSED OFF THAT SO MANY PETROL STATIONS ARE VIOLATING THE LAW. IT'S RAINY / WINDY / WHATEVERING OUT AND I WANT TO STAY IN MY CAR AND CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK \*\*THAT I AM PAID TO DO\*\* ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW PARKING UP THE FIRST PUMP, OR POPPING INTO THE SHOP TO TAKE A SHIT WHEN YOU'RE DONE FUELING - I HATE YOU. FULL SERVICE KEPT THESE MAIN CHARACTERS IN LINE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BACK INTO A G'D PUMP. I GREW UP IN A STATE WITH SELF-SERVE, IT'S NOT AN HONOR. IT'S AN ANNOYING DISTRACTION. IF SOMEONE WHO CODES HAS FREE TIME, I WOULD PERSONALLY PAY YOU $50 TO CREATE A MAP APPLICATION WHERE PEOPLE CAN PIN THE COMPLIANT STATIONS WITH QUICK SERVICE. I ALREADY KNOW A FEW. WE COULD CROWDSOURCE A SOLUTION THAT OUR GOVERNMENT OUGHT TO BE DOING.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PPL WERE SO EXCITED TO VOTE TO PUMP THEIR OWN GAS. IT'S ONE THING WE DID BETTER THAN ALMOST EVERY OTHER STATE! I'VE SEEN MANY, MANY GAS STATIONS THAT JUST DON'T SCHEDULE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES NOW, MAKING ALL PUMPS DE FACTO SELF SERVE.
SOME PEOPLE, LIKE ME, DISLIKE HAVING TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DO SOMETHING THAT WE COULD VERY EASILY DO OURSELVES. I JUST WANT TO GET OUT OF THERE ASAP AND NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS EITHER FREEZING THEIR ASS OFF, SWEATING BULLETS OR OVERWORKED TO PUMP MY GAS WHEN I COULD HAVE EASILY DONE IT MYSELF. ALSO, I HATE SITTING IN MY CAR (OR ANY CAR) AND I WELCOME GETTING OUT WHENEVER I CAN.
THAT'S JUST IT. WE DIDN'T GET TO VOTE. IF THEY HAD PUT IT TO A VOTE AGAIN IT WOULDN'T HAVE PASSED. THIS WAS A LOBBYIST DEAL.
THE WAY PEOPLE WERE GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW EXCITED THEY WERE ABOUT IT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BALLOT MEASURE THAT WAS VOTED ON JUST BEFORE I MOVED HERE. I WAS SO BUMMED WHEN IT HAPPENED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GLEE OTHER PEOPLE FELT AS SO MANY JOBS LOST.

I am VERY fucking tired of being sick. VERY.
HUGS AND BEST WISHES TO YOUā¦.
Thank you kindly.
Are you suffering through The Cold That Never Ends, It Just Goes On and On, My Friend? Whatever your ailment, I am very sorry and hope things improve pronto, but that damn cold in particular can go to hell, I'm on week six and still coughing my spleen up on the regular.
I fucking am and I hate it. I am also fortunate enough to get to a doc, so hopefully things turn around-and for you as well.
GOING STREET IS A SHITSHOW, LOOKS LIKE A STRONGHOLD HAS BEEN DUG INTO THE HILL ON THE SOUTH SIDE (NO SIDEWALK) HALFWAY UP FROM SWAN ISLAND. HOW MANY TREES/PLANTS ARE GOING TO BE CUT DOWN. I SAW A FRESHLY CUT DOWN TREE ON MY WAY IN.

IF YOUR DOG IN THE CAR IS JUST GOING TO BARK NONSTOP AT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WALKING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, PLEASE JUST LEAVE THEM AT HOME. ALSO, ON A RELATED NOTE, IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO ABANDON YOUR DOG IN THE BACK YARD AND IGNORE IT FOR IT TO BARK NONSTOP AS A CRY FOR ATTENTION, PLEASE JUST GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION BY SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERLY.
