OT: Least Favorite Pass Time

[RockyMTblue2]

I'm enduring mine right now: waiting for a plumber who is 2 hours late for an 8-10 hour job! So, if I seem more than my usual snarky self

So, what's yours?

 

[johnnyc]

Watching Eli Manning throw an interception.

 

[Sonny44]

Telephone recordings.

 

[BIGMAC]

WORK

 

[alexrgct]

Message boards for a favorite sorts team or club. Obviously.

 

[Carnac]

Waiting in a long line (anywhere) that's not moving, and the customer service people/reps on the other side of the counter are oblivious to the situation, and won't call for additional service personnel to help relieve the backup.

 

[chrissaran]

johnnyc, I'm with you. How can all the newbie quarterbacks throw fewer interceptions than Eli? I don't understand it. When he's in the playoffs, he's phenomenal. During the season he's good. Now we just need to make the playoffs. We'll see, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.

You'd have died an early death--had you lived in Puerto Rico when I did. Electric (to enable it) sign up could take 2 days or more. Anything with the PR govt--(nothing in English (a US commonwealth like Mass.) takes multiple days. Pre omni present Cells--my home Telephone was out (as was 3 neighborhoods) for over 6 month--I moved to get phone service. I brought a Sailboat with me and it took a week to get it --out of government red tape hock. I eventually learned what the palm meant.

If the Giant ownership would give him protection he might actually have time to scan the field like other QB's. Instead the Giants put 5 sieves on the line who I suspect are not only being coached to close their eyes when attempting to block someone but also to play with 10 pound weights in their shoes.

[wire chief]

Waiting for my bladder to fully empty so I can return to bed, thereby extending (hopefully) the time until my next pop-up.

 

[uconnell]

People who wait until the last minute to fill out their check, completely.

If they are frail, little old ladies I try to think it's charming that they are out and about at all. Try that?

 

[uconnell]

I am that frail little ol lady. I use a debit card.

Perhaps you need prostate surgery?

A pastime is, by definition, an activity unrelated to work, that a person does for enjoyment.

My least favorite pastime (i.e. method to, um, pass time)? Easy: feigning joviality annually from April to November -- the accursed off-season of our UConn Huakies.

Conversely, my favorite pastime? The season! November to April here on the Boneyard!

Egad, he wants me under the knife!

Men? I've waited for countless women to do this but never a guy. And then they act like they should be congratulated for having exact change.
