Happy Festivus

Let the airing of grievances begin.

Comments

  • I'm having trouble finding something to bitch about because a contractor just dropped off a nice paycheque for me. I'm sure as I dabble about today I'll find something later.

    Oh wait. Why is it when I threatened to send your wife pictures of cute puppies every time you assholed on me in hopes of her arguing with you about getting a dog.. You stopped assholing on me? Meh, it's a start.
  • Reverse psychology ;)
  • "i've got a lot of problems with you people and today you're going to hear about it!"
  • Why do the people behind President's Choice products keep screwing around with my head by introducing things... Then as soon as I fall in love with them, pull them from the shelves?

    Memories of Montego Bay jerk sauce. Loved it, nice and spicy with scotch bonnet peppers. "Oh wait, Bill likes it." Discontinued.

    Large bottles of Louisiana hot sauce, not the piddly little ones. "Oh wait, Bill likes it." Gone.

    Larger containers of Spicy Pepper Medley, not the piddly little overpriced ones. Great ingredient to buff up meat rubs, etc. "Oh wait, Bill likes it." Fuck Bill. What an asshole.

    The list goes on and on. It's like some kind of subtle psychological warfare tactic.
  • No more Spicy Pepper?!? Fuck them. Assholes!!
  • Bah, Merry Christmas.

  • I've pretty much got everything done today, thus I may just spend the rest of my day in this thread. I've got a lot of grievances to air.

    To all the potential customers who call me in a panic to come look at a paint job right away and waste close to an hour of my time talking about it and set up a start date... Then when I call to confirm a few days ahead of time and they tell me they got their brother to do it instead...

    I hope he put latex over oil paint on everything he touched in your houses and it fails horribly for many years to serve as a reminder of what jerks you are.
  • To the spammers and bots whom I ban from this site, but for some reason are able to stick around and stare at the forum like dead corpses with their eyes open, yet are unable to do anything other than remind me of the fact that I can't totally get rid of you because of tapatalk....

    I hope the people that created you get some terrible form of body rot or virus. Merry Christmas.

    The entrance stairway walls in my house have a flat white paint. There are some marks from the movers and likely some from prior to them since the house is 30 years old. Would touching up the spots leave obvious, well, touch up spots... Should I repaint the entire wall instead? Should we talk?

    I honestly have no desire to do this if it involves the entire wall... Should I hire someone to touch up various spots in the house and redo this wall?

    Flat paint is for old people who don't move much without kids or pets. For the most part, if you touch it you're going to leave a mark. You can't clean it at all for the most part. The only advantage is that it hides any surface imperfections quite well because it's dull and eats light. Any sheen will reflect light and create shadows over imperfections and scuffs.

    That being said, if the current paint job was recent, you could likely touch it up and make it not noticeable if you have the EXACT colour code. If the current paint job wasn't recent (i.e. years), it will have faded slightly due to oxidation, exposure to pollutants, light, etc. At this point, even if you use the exact same colour code it's going to show.

    Best situation is to repaint from corner to corner. Otherwise touch up. Depends on how fussy you are.

    There you go. No charge.
  • I'm assuming it is flat (does not appear glossy). It is definitely what I want with the retro style of my house. Maybe I'll get up and look at the paint cans over there ----> at some point.

    Want to come do the job for some backed tourny entries?:)

    Now now, let's not waste your money like that. We'd do better at betting on who could piss in the wind further.

    Go to your local paint store (not a department) and ask them who they'd recommend for your specific job. They always have a list of decent painters. They'll come by and give you a quote. You'll get a feel for if you trust them or not.

    If you have the paint cans, check for a matching colour code. Or at least look for what store they were bought at, they might have your address on file.
  • Merry Xmas/holidays to all my fellow forumers!

    Let the beats be good and the drinks be strong!
  • Now for the feats of strength...I can lift 100# right over my head!
  • I'm afraid I don't try that any more. I'll have to forfeit or concede defeat in this event.
