Ok. So my girl and I are out at our favorite local bar, and lo and behold, all of a sudden a motherfucking cockroach crawls onto the bar. I kill it and take it over to the owner, who I know because we're regulars, and tell him. He tries to pass me some bullshit about it being a baby palmetto bug, and basically blows me off. BULLSHIT. I'm no dumb fucking Florida cracker, I know the difference between a motherfucking German Cockroach and a palmetto bug, and that was no goddamn palmetto bug. It was a fucking cockroach. Not 10 minutes later, I pour another beer from the pitcher, and holy shit, there's a fucking dead bug in it! I take it over to the owner, this time very pissed off, and he again blows me off, and says he'll take 1 beer off of my tab. WTF??? I don't know, but if it were me running that place, that person wouldn't pay a cent that night, and I'd have every bug company in the tri-county area there to take care of it, ASAP. I don't know, but bugs in my food/drink are TOTALLY FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE.
So my girl and I leave. We get back home, and the guy across the street who is a trucker, is idling his semi AT 2 IN THE FUCKING MORNING! I know they need to be run, admittedly I don't know why, but still. IT'S 2 AM!!!! DON'T RUN THE FUCKING LOUD ASS 1000 HORSEPOWER DIESEL ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET!!!! I guess the world has gone off the deep end. Either that or I have. |

You obviously didnt drink enough before the roach incident.
You really need to chill. See a medical professional and seek psychiatric drugs. |
|
Fuck that shit, I think I deserve a bar where there's no cockroaches. I think everyone deserves that.
|
|
It's a bar. Alcohol is a disinfectant. |
|
|
A "palmetto" bug is just a variation of cockroach, as is a "waterbug". They are just big fricken huge American coackroaches.
You need to upgrade your hangout and your domocile. What does your girlfriend look like? Overweight, tattooed, missing some teeth? |

A month ago I went to my favorite Chinese take out place, ordered and while i was waiting a roach walked casually across the molding on the wall. Walked right past me.
I told the cook about it in hopes of getting a few bucks off the meal or a free drink and he said without a hiccup. "dat normal. Pay no attention." It was a moment of pure disbelief. I was speechless really. Part of me was saying thats disgusting if its normal, the other half was cracking up that it didn't phase him a bit. The Mongolian beef was awesome as usual. Got a cool picture of it on my phone. Ah, Memories. |
|
Mods, would saying go fuck youself be a coc violation? |
|
|
When Obama becomes president, he'll propose a constitutional amendment to ensure your right to a clean bar, free beer, and quiet residential neighborhoods.

You're wound a little tight for living, friend.
The USDA has a whole book full of "acceptable" levels of bug parts, rocks, sticks, bug shit, and other foreign objects in flour, peanut butter, rice, etc. It won't kill you. Its my view that a little dirt in the younger years is one of the things that builds up our resistance to things like allergies, etc. |
|
Oh give me a motherfucking break. All it is is a little common decency. Not to have the proprietor of an establishment blow me off when a roach runs out at me, and not to have a goddamn diesel engine idling in front of my house at 2 AM. I know since I don't have a 20000000000+ post count, I can't be agreed with or taken seriously, but come on.
|
|
About as compliant as me asking the mods if calling you a Douche Nozzle would be okay. To your original question. It is just you. |

There is no need for your neighbor to let his truck tractor run.
Your neighbor is a dumbass. A lot of truck drivers are dumbasses. |
|
I know that there's a little bit of all that shit in everything that everyone eats, it's impossible to totally eliminate. And I've eaten enough bugs and dirt in my time to be impervious to many a bacteria. But I don't PAY my hard earned money to go to a place and get an entire living cockroach coming to say hello. |
|
|
What are we supposed to tell you? Look, you did what anyone would do at the bar: You voted with your feet. If enough people are creeped out by the bugs, (as opposed to the 300 or so human meat sacks coughing and breathing on each other), then he'll have to do something better to get business back. As for the trucker, there's an old saying: IF you can't change it, you do well in learning to ignore it. Getting all wound up like this is BOUND to be a problem with your lady. No one likes all that piss and vinegar all the time. |
|
|
when you get a straight fastball it's easy to hit a homerun.
So your girl is the new American Standard after all. Now for you to get the new American Standard kid, she will need to develop a case of jungle fever. |
|
You're right, I did vote with my feet. And I don't usually get wound up like this, I spent the whole day with my lib family trying to get them to see the light and I guess it just all built up. Plus the pitcher I drank before that is probably not helping the situation. But for people to take digs at my lady and saying I have psychological problems is a bit much. |

COC prevents a full reply, but it suffices to say that if you said that to me in person, bad things would happen. |

loltag
eta For the record any visible creature/creatures/creature parts in your beer is unacceptable. The bar owner should have handled it better, customer service, blah, blah, blah. I'm guessing that he doesn't care about your business. I would never go back there. I know for a fact that my g/f never would. The trucker neighbor...well, who the fuck knows why he did what he did. Probably not doing it to rev you up, maybe getting ready to make a run, maybe had to get the reefer going, perishable goods, who knows? But it's still a funny thread. |
|
You would post another topic bitching like you did this time? You gonna talk or shoot? Harden up |

|
Was the Mongolian beef crunchy?????? |
|
|
So go to a different bar, problem solved. See how easy that was. |
|
|
So I'm supposed to take attacks on my woman, and smile while I do? Fuck that noise.
|
|
Just testing you. You pass the all American true bred redbone test.
As in you are a redbone. you do understand that, being where you are from. Oh wait, you threatened me, now I'm scared! OBAMA!!!!!! I'm guessing you go beserk everytime you see food eh? |
|
Guess What?? The World IS Crazy... And Guess what else?? It's only the Beginning!! |
|

Dude. Its the internet. You are taking it more serious than necessary. This forum in particular is over the top sometimes. Don't sweat it. Its just words from strangers. Half the guys giving you shit will roll up to sleep with a sock and some jurgens. The other half of us are either divorced, dating sporadically, or constantly finding themselves dating "the crazy." A fair number (but fewer than you'd think) have perfectly happy relationships. Count yourself luck if your'e one of them. |
|
|
No. You shouldn't take that from these people. My recommendation: Attempt to disengage, but remember to blade at a 45 degree angle for best results. |
|
|
For the record, I'm from New Jersey. |
|
|
This thread is a prime example of what happens when OP blades at 44 degrees. Outcome not so good. |
||
|
Nice knowin' ya.... |
||
|
The cockroach is your state symbol. The smell of diesel should keep you from smelling your city. I think you are very lucky. +1 if you found a girl without scabs or crabs. |
||
|
Next thing you know, he'll try and over achieve and blade at 46 degrees and totally fuck shit up. |
|||
|
I understand what you're saying, I really do. But who the fuck are these people to making comments like that? I certainly wouldn't make statements about anybody's personal lives like that. And yes, I do count myself as one of the lucky ones. |
||
|
dude, i would be pissed if there was bugs crawling all up in my food/drinks. i would raise holy hell too, and a semi on the street? fuccckkk that shit.. oh and dont take these guys seriously on here when they zing ya, its all in good fun, stay and enjoy the site. |
|
|
Ever been to Central Jersey?? No? Then don't say shit about it. |
|||
|
WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY? But the real question is....Who Are You? They are nobody as they can't affect your life in anyway unless you let them but you are letting them. Flipping the fuck out over imaginary internet people is kinda.....well....they make pills for it. |
|
|
Ooo now this is getting good. |
|
|
Yep I've been there, and don't talk to your daddy like that junior. I would of used a rubber, but there was a cockroach on it. |

I know. And as soon as I'm signed off of here, I'll forget all about the resident GD wolfpack. But while I'm here, I won't stand for it. |

|
Really? Well since you're the expert, where did I grow up? |

|
Obviously a truck stop restroom since you hate roaches and tractors |

MrClean is just baiting you. He's very good at it. In fact you could say he's mastered it.
