23. use of the word "random" outside of anything mathematical. i think it stems from ppl who use it to describe anything slapstick or absurd (a monkey in hockey skates omg so random!!!!) but i now have a Pavlovian response to it in any context.

He's an artist. Those motherfuckers at Subway are sandwich assembly line workers.

25. People who say things like 'I bought a Subway' for lunch. No, you bought a shitty chain-store sandwich. Giving it a brand name does not make it better.

I think I said this elsewhere, but

26. People who have widescreen TVs/monitors, but don't adjust the aspect ration, so everything is squat and fat.

I had a moment of horrible self-recognition once watching Black Books, and Bernard Black turns on the tap and starts yelling 'Come on! COME ON!' at it in the second it takes for the water to start coming out.

39. I really do get irrationally angry on internet AND irl when anyone does the "well CRYSTAL bands are the new WOLF bands" joke or any of its variants ("I'm starting a band called Black Deer Crystal Wolf Bear, right?").

Most people think it's a cute joke, but I've heard it like nine bazillion times. It's like a warning flag that someone pays a enough attention to music to joke about it, but not enough to actually form a substantive opinion on anything.

the fact that LAFTH guy--a professional comedian!--has a variant of it in the jacket copy of his book pretty much cements the fact that he is a total hack

To be fair, the people who usually do this are 20 year old boys who have a tenuous relationship with the physical world and their frontal lobe.

40. People who eat noisily at their desk in a cramped shared office space. There's someone who's manages to slurp when eating an apple - how's that possible?

It's legal here too if you're going one-way onto a one-way, but in FL people do it everywhere, even 4-way traffic lights. Often to make a U-Turn, but sometimes to actually turn left. buncha dumbfucks here.

You have heard of this thing "apple juice?" I don't want to blow your mind, but it comes from APPLES. And sometimes it comes out when you're EATING THE APPLE. Apple juice dribbling down your face is nagl.

when you're on a RottenTomatoes page and you press the down arrow key to scroll down, it redirects you to the page for Star Trek Into Darkness, and when you continue to hold down the down arrow out of frustration, it cycles through the list of upcoming movies, redirecting you to a different page as soon as you release the key. it probably serves me right for visiting Rotten Tomatoes, but still,

I've had one for awhile about the driveway in front of my daughter's school, but when the time comes to post it here, I come to the conclusion that I'm not really that annoyed by it and in fact, might be just trying to come up with something new for this thread.

I really just want silence during a movie. So I rarely see movies in theaters, especially crowded ones.

Ugh. Especially when something like that happens when you're too asleep to figure out the problem. For me, anyway.

Though I usually can't stand having my feet or legs covered at all when I sleep, so no untucking troubles, usually.

What is the deal with that? And that little circle cut out of the tray - I mean, hey! Do you really think I don't know where to set down my plastic cup of 7-up?
