Disgusting savages; list them ALL itt

yeah hang on, jon's story is totally legit DS, he was fucking physically pinned in an elevator by a cart full of boxes, how is this even up for debate?

getting into an ever tightening spiral of rage is idk, i mean i think he'd be well within his rights to make a complaint instead of silently fuming tho

figuratively if not literally crushed by boxes of despair

Thanks DC and Randy, I was starting to wonder for a second. I wouldn't exactly call it an "ever tightening spiral of rage" though, I'd call it more just reflexive anger after the fact. Like it all happened so quickly that my anger didn't really register fully until later and then I was almost equally mad at myself for not being more vocal about it not being okay (not sure how though). I did attempt to register a complaint, but no one is answering their phones and haven't heard back on the email I sent to find out who I should direct it to.

Fwiw, I'm not fuming over this anymore or even angry really, just sort of turning it over in my mind to figure out how I should've handled it. And I think the reason it loomed so large in my mind is because it ties in with some larger issues I'm dealing with in therapy re: advocating for myself. Anyway, vent session over and I'll just be content to give this person the stinkeye every single time I see her in the future.

Oh man, story of my life, especially at work.

Jerks that run parking garages and fill them with deliberately misleading signage. When I see a sign that reads "$8 UP TO 10 Hours" all in one line of text, with no punctuation marks between, no lines or any other marks indicating a split between characters or text, and no other information posted anywhere else; I read that to mean "You can park here for up to 10 hours for $8". Apparently, in this case, that text is meant to represent two separate ideas. Only after pulling in, getting your ticket, and driving up the 8 floors to the parking area do you learn that it means, separately, "$8" (meaning you can park for 30 minutes for $8) and "UP TO 10 Hours" (meaning you can park for 10 hours at a time, but anything over 2 hours will cost you $14). Super annoying.

oh man I would do a happy dance if I could find a garage that was reliably $14 for 10 hours; I'm at the point where I'm all "ooh $27, what a bargain!"

in summation, fuck parking garages

gouging bastards

Yesterday at the football we ended up having to park in the street behind the BART parking lot on the other side of the coliseum, because the stadium parking lots were full (clusterfuck of the century, don't ask).

So we pulled up on a side street and ended up parkign there because there was no signage saying we couldn't, and the BART police patrolled past us a dozen times while we were there and they would have said something were this not the case.

Within 15 minutes of us pulling up there's some local dude standing on the corner with a handmade 'PARKING' sign charging people $20 to park. As we leave he starts calling out to us 'HEY YO THOSE CARS ARE GONNA GET TOWED, I CAN GET YOU PARKING" . Lo and behold we got back to our to find it not towed, not ticketed, nothing.

Parking just brings out the worst instincts in humanity.

Could probably double the length of this thread by listing various student incidents, but some pasty-faced fresher has just blocked up our water fountain with copious amounts of vomit, all over the taps and everything. Filthy (w)retch!

people who do not push in revolving doors, instead relying on the exertions of the people before and after them

today i saw someone use a gas station to turn except they failed because the light was green and they ended up behind everyone. i win!

oh i thought this was irrational anger thread oops

no no that is quite savage

i run on a bike path/trail that is along a windy road. serious cyclists understandably prefer to use the road. i saw a guy in a minivan slow down so a bike and another car had to go around him. the guy on the bike said "everything ok?" he didn't know what was going on because then the guy said blahblah SLOW-ASS BIKE! which means this guy was so angry about having to slow down behind the bike for 10 seconds that he purposely came to a stop, which resulted in (1) the bike being ahead of him again, and (2) the driver being even slower to reach his destination! GUH IT WAS DISGUSTING

working on a stupid group project for a class (due today), each member in my group had an assigned part to put together, which i stupidly volunteered to compile. no one has emailed me ANYTHING except for one person who did HALF of what he was supposed to because "he was working", and said "can you do this other part? i think it would sound better if you did it." seriously dude?

Jimmy Savile. The most disgusting savage of all.

anyone whose favorite poem is Rudyard Kipling's "If"

i fervently agree.

Shit yes!

people who use quotation marks for emphasis

drivers who pass people who have pulled over for an emergency vehicle

I mean after an ambulance has passed and there's still a line of cars pulled over onto the shoulder, some disgusting opportunists in the back of the line will immediately (& without signalling their intention) pull back onto the roadway and pass all the people in the front of the line.

i am having very strong feelings about phone etiquette right now, and everyone who does not meet my VERY MODEST standards is a disgusting savage imho

i do hate getting worked up over this shit but ugh i mean if you leave a voice message you should probably mention the reason for your call, maybe even consider stating your name and not slurring your speech so i have to guess your phone number

"HI MY PHONE NUMBER IS TWO ZEVENTY NINE HUNDRED TWENTY FIFTY CALL ME BACK" - a savage

otm

to be honest, i really really hate when people read long strings of digits by treating it like a sequence of 2 digit numbers, i hate it and i am extremely prejudiced against people who do it, SORRY

it's disgustingly savage

maybe should crosspost that to the irrationally angry thread

Sometimes I feel like leaving a really dickish outgoing voice mail message on my work phone, something along the lines of "You have reached this number in error. The email address associated with this number is x✧@x✧.c✧✧. Please email your request." Hate receiving phone calls at work.

the guy I saw wearing this shirt in public on the afternoon of the Sandy Hook shooting:

people who go out of their way to announce, "I WILL MURDER ANYONE WHO COMES BETWEEN ME AND MY CHILDREN!" are the worst people in the world.

People who think their time is more valuable than anyone else's. Still sitting here waiting for a call from a contractor for a conversation which he requested at 1:30 P.M. (the time, also per his request). He keeps shooting me emails "just a couple more minutes", "gotta finish this up". Ugh, fuck this guy.

condo board tyrants

people who, when you tell them to have a good one, reply to the effect of "have a good one what? what's a one?" dude, I just wanted you to have a good one, but you seem bent on turning it into a bad one.

haha, god I would just tell them to fuck off right there and then.

"herp derp i'm the first person who's been intelligent enough to analyze an idiom"

while we're at it, i'll add self-professed "grammar nazis"

"I support the views of National Socialism, but only within the specific arena of grammar"

It must be incredibly difficult for these people to function in society when everything has to stop and be pointed out any time somebody uses accidentally slips into the passive voice.

Uh oh, it's the Hyperbole Nazis

are there grammar brownshirts?

It's actually pronounced hyperbole, xpost.

an xpost away from glory

back to work with me...

lololol

neanderTAL

people who in 2013 continue to vomit crap joke emails on everyone they've ever met
