Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

shuddz

I'm able to tolerate most public rappers, but the ones that bother me are the ones being like horrifically violent and/or misogynist when doing so. I remember one guy on the red line, describing how we would decapitate and disembowel everyone on the car with him. It would be like, "guy in the red coat, I'll make your body float, cut your head off clean, then eat your spleen" (not verbatim, but yes the lyrics were that awful and would be laughable if it wasn't for the context). Thing was he looked like any other white Columbia student. Maybe it was "performance art".

mmmm, spleen

Not actually IA, more 0__o:

It is really not acceptable to eat your home fries from Tupperware with a fork - with a little ketchup dipping puddle, even - while standing on a packed rush hour bus. (stylishly casual early 20s woman with complicated, angular hair)

jvc, that's pretty crazy. I've heard some violent rap on the train (and tons of misogynist stuff) but never incorporating specific passengers.

people who pronounced it ell-oh-ell cat

Yeah, eventually a braver soul than I told him to take a hike at the next stop and he actually seemed really sheepish about it and slunked off the train.

Well, it makes a change from "Girl on the platform smiled..."

No girls (or boys) ever seem to be smiling on the platforms when I ride the train, everyone looks grumpy.

preacher on the train today was *so loud*

if you want to talk about fairy tales that's fine, but use your indoor voice

earplugs are essential on public transit, I find.

- too much perfume on people makes me angry

- x work-related process happens every week, the same day, the same time of day. for a short period of time, a certain part of the system is locked out to users. and yet, every week, one person acts like this is a brand new thing that he didn't know about and hasn't been working with in some form or another for the past 4 years. it's like Bart Simpson and the electric zap punishment. He just. Does. Not. Get. It. And complains about it every week like we should have a butler come over to his desk and announce personally to him that x process is happening and please refrain from using the system...EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM IS ALREADY DOING EVERYTHING BUT SENDING A BUTLER TO TELL HIM THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE
iiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaia

Bus stop, wet day
She's there, I say
I wanna eat your spleee-een.

hahah

Probably not irrational but...

Coworker just bought some Halmark stuffed rabbit toy that comes with a book, and you read the book and the toy responds to voice commends. The books are all about how the little girl rabbit wants to be a grown woman but is really into tea parties and dress up and lots of girl things. Anyway, the one sample interaction goes like this:

Reading person: Abigail, is that how a lady acts?
Stuffed rabbit responds, giggling: No. I'm so embarrassed!

I deserve a damn academy award for keeping a neutral face during this display. I want to throw that town in the fucking lake.

HA toy, not town.

Jenny, is throwing things in things how a lady acts?

lol jessee courting death imo

Kickin in the front seat
Sittin in the back seat
Can't make my mind up
Which spleen should I eeeeeeeeat?

irl lol

Well you get up every morning
From the alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15
And eat a spleen

Now Laurel, is having opinions how ladies act?

Jesse's asking for a spleen eating.

^^^he's good xp

My my MY music hits me
So hard
Makes me say "Oh my God!
Thank you
For blessin me
With a mind for rhyme
And a spleen to eat"

Je55e's parts strewn all around ilx, in a VERY unladylike display of behaviour

The ladylike part will be disemboweling him without getting any blood on these white gloves I'm wearing.

"Please Je55e may I disembowel you? Thank you."

Ok I just went to Target and I had to get on the floor on my knees like an animal in order to find ANY unscented women's deodorant.

Haha.

If they did lyrics fill in the blank for The Glove at pub quiz, I would be so victorious.

I'm not a pervert, but I'm enjoying Laurel and VG planning on disembowling me.

LL, have you ever seen the music videos for some of The Glove's songs?? I stumbled on them on YT one night. I had no idea they existed!

mom-in-law bought evie one of these books but not the stuffed puppy that's supposed to go with it so there are all these bolded cue words in the book but nothing happens when you get to those parts

you don't have an animated zucchini that talks or something? slackers!

je55e -- no, i haven't. but i will look.

xpost Je55e you are so too a pervert, just not for those reasons

(I don't know why exactly, it just seemed fun to say)

Emails from a CSR at a major telecommunications company with signatures like

"The Heart of Worshipping [sic] is Worship from the Heart"

My desire to kill you is killing my desire for you

Lol I thought of that dude as well!

So our admin brought her granddaughter to work today (this is not IA-making, as the child is clever and well behaved and has drawn me one picture and given me two hugs) and gave her the Gender Norm Enforcing Lady Rabbit book'n'toy and the kid has not read the entire book once. Instead she just reads the tag lines to get the rabbit to respond. Ha.

(also, unless the children are absolutely vile or mean, I like kids at work because I was always the kid at work growing up and I have a lot of fond, formative memories of chilling in people's cubes and drawing pictures on the chalk board or reading the old Reader's Digests in the nurses' lounge, and also work is boring and having kids around gives me an excuse to watch cat videos on my work computer.)

Beeps came up here with me for a few hours yesterday. It was weird to be talking to someone only to have my daughter walk up behind me. Worlds colliding…

Her proudest moment came when I gave her a shiny dollar coin and told her to get something out of the vending machine and her five-year-old mind was able to work out the two-digit code under the doritos, put the money in, punch in code and retrieve said doritos by herself.

wtg beeps!

that's an important rite of passage <3

That is excellent.

(ps I got a third hug)

well what lovely kid wouldn't hug a carl, I mean really :)

I agree!
Her 7th birthday is Monday and my coworkers were throwing money at this kid because of it. I swear she walked out of here with $20 in singles. I thought that was really weird.

Not to give a kid birthday money, but a coworker's grandkid whom you just met? Is that a thing grow ups are supposed to do?

that's v weird

not to mention grownups throwing singles at a child haha

Don't bring your kids to my work. And definitely don't let them hug me.
