Or they’ll just block all my posts, which has happened to two of my burner IDs already. Big fans of free speech here.

I guess I should have used a sarcasm emoji or something. Because it’s ludicrous we spend this much for such shit output. Fire the lot of them, crush the union, give out vouchers to private schools.

New York City should spend more money on education. Because clearly, $25K a year per (imbecile) kid isn’t enough.

I hope I am alive the day someone finally just tells all these assholes who retired at 50 on “disability” and have been soaking me for $95K a year are told “Whoopsie! Sorry, there’s no money left for you!” and makes it stick. There’s a Teamster’s pension fund in NYC going bust, and it’s fucking comedy gold. All…

Here’s the “system”: Unions make excessive demands. Politicians accede to said demands. Unions contribute to said politicians. Repeat until end of time. Concerns for the taxpayer and fare payer are nil.

Well, I certainly hated them.

The original owners of my first house applied wallpaper directly to the sheetrock. No primer. It adhered to the paper of the wallboard. It was part of it and never coming off. Subsequent owner(s?) just papered over it. We had to put new walls in the kitchen and paneling in two bedrooms.

Fuckin’ Sandy. We just lost power for a couple days. But my in-laws’ basement got 4 feet of Atlantic Ocean with a side of gross fucking canal. The City sent someone to pump it out, but they still needed someone to empty the basement out. They couldn’t find someone to pay to do it so my brother-in-law and I got…

If professional burglars want in, they’re getting in. I don’t worry about them because we are on a crappy block in a really nice neighborhood, so if they have any brains they’re breaking into the $1.5MM home around the corner.

My daughter trims her bangs into the bathroom sink. I have tried reasoning with her, asking politely, raging, and telling her she will pay for the plumber because I am tired of snaking. Last time I made her help me, and pull the hairy glop off the end of the snake. She just laughed and said “Gross”.

Seconded. We were all jazzed up to buy as our first house a ranch from the 30s. The nice old inspector made an endless list of all the shit we missed, and then calmly took us outside and said “Don’t buy this house. Even if they come down in price, it’s just not worth it.” It ended up getting tore down.

I know some former firefighters. They admitted to occasionally breaking shit just for fun, especially if they didn’t like the looks of the residents. Also, firemen will fucking steal everything not nailed down.

When I was home from college for breaks I worked as a laborer at a construction site near my house that my friend’s Dad was managing. They fired him because he insisted on stupid things like following laws, not cheating the building codes, and such. But we (including his son) stayed on.

Family on my block on the corner lot considers the entire street abutting their property to be their private parking domain. To the point where the old man has actually twice rang my doorbell to ask if a car in front of his house was a guest of mine (it wasn’t). His idiot son once threatened my neighbor and his…

My next-door-neighbor died and I didn’t find out for 2-1/2 months. That’s good neighboring.

The city plants a tree on the little strip between sidewalk and curb in front of your house. Their tree wrecks your plumbing (and sidewalk!) but YOU have to pay for it.

My parents got a mail ad for insurance for sewage pipe failure and replacement. Mom was all “Maybe we should get it. It cost $12,000 when we had to replace it a couple of years ago”. Well, Mom: A). the tree that ate into the pipe last time is now gone and B). You’re 72 with high blood pressure; that pipe will…

Most useful ones are. And the police themselves are so baffled by the vague laws that they regularly arrest people for carrying legal knives. (Or they do it on purpose to hassle people and bump up their quotas.)

The waste is colossal. They’re spending billions to connect Penn Station and Grand Central so suburbanites don’t have to walk (or take the shuttle) across town. That stupid multi-billion Oculus downtown, and the equally prudent Fulton St. Station. Mayor Dipshit spending a fortune on a hipster trolley near his…

I like this. From now on when my wife yells at me for not applying sunscreen I’ll tell her it’s for the environment, and not because I am a fat lazy bastard and it’s easier to just wear a loose shirt and hat.
