Broke my new smartphone so I'm stuck with my old slow one briefly.

I'm tired.

My friend bought a Porsche and wanted to go for a test ride at midnight.

I hate when places advertise food as being really spicy or hot and it actually isn't.

Ever since Pick n Pull came to town, it has made it extremely difficult for me to sell my unwanted car parts at reasonable/fair prices. This is because nobody, and I mean nobody, wants to pay fair prices on used car parts, typically citing how little they have to spend at that fucking place, especially on half-off days. Well, I have news for you assholes: you didn’t spend all fucking day in the brutal elements, with your own multi-thousand dollars’ worth of tools, taking the time to inspect parts for their condition after pulling them, and often having to pull another engine or transmission because of a spun bearing, cracked block, bad trans synchronizer, etc. Sorry, but nobody works for free, and while you might be able to buy that Honda/Acura motor, manual transmission, or rare JDM accessory there on the cheap, I have bad news: I already bought them all, so now you have to go through me anyways.

Having to get up at 3 am to work a 4-1 shift so I can make it to my 2pm class on time. Now I'm going to be tired on a Friday night, which sucks because I want to actually do shit. Also have to work at 7am tomorrow

Bought some car parts that never arrived. Company sent free replacements. Four and a half months later, the original package arrives. I contact company, explain the situation and said if they email me a shipping label, I'll send them these parts back. They were very hesitant. I explained again twice. A week later, they sent me a shipping label and I happily sent the parts back. Now, the company just refunded me the cost of these parts. I don't want the damn parts and I don't deserve a damn refund.

Another first world problem:

Forgetting how many motorcycles you own.

With a delicate issue on one of my lesser-used motorcycles, I caved and took it to the local shop. A week later, he had a holiday party so I stopped by. I was sitting there eating some snacks looking at a nearby bike, critiquing it in my head.

Inner monologue:

"Oh, a 1974. One of those damn ugly aftermarket seats. It's been repainted but looks pretty solid. Hmm, Oklahoma plate. Heh, I lived in Oklahoma for a little while. That sucked. Oh yeah, I bought a motorcycle while I was there! Where's that damn thing these days? Huh, this plates tag is really old. Oh, so was mine because it sat for 20 years.. Hmm. Man, I had to redo all the wiring on mine. Wait, this one has the same wire on the outside of the subframe.. Oh, ohhhhhh!"

Finally back down to owning two cars after my all time high of 7. Three of them were parts cars I made decent money stripping while keeping the good stuff for myself. Two were builders that I sold for pretty decent profit. All while keeping the landlord, health department, cops, neighbors, and race car enemies/rivals off my ass. But now the back yard looks so empty and clean again, and I must admit the huge relief in stress feels kinda weird.
