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

I just assume that people who get angry about pretty much any inconsequential thing just like being angry

made-up statistics

wtf fanning with a magazine totally works can't you fan properly or something no wonder u madd doggie

lol at people who take this list too serious!

It's just fun to vent about ridiculous things. Also typing in all caps IS REALLY FUN YOU GUYS

key words here are "innocuous" and "irrational". Note to onlookers: this is not the "Post your hate manifestos here" thread

would definitely waft myself with ur hate manifestos u disgusting savages

lol: OH YEAH WELL THAT'S JUST GREAT BC YOU'RE IN MINE, YOU WAFTING WAFTER

ppl with short fuses

wafter

People who say 'bless you' when you sneeze. I might be sneezing three times in a row, you gonna do this every time? You want me to say thankyou every time? LET ME SNEEZE IN PEACE.

I rode the train yesterday with a couple, of which the man kept pressing his sweaty back against the upright pole I was holding onto

this is my all-time number one subway pet peeve. like it makes my blood boil when ppl lean against poles on crowded trains, preventing anyone else from hanging onto them

small, wheeled suitcases in busy areas

99. Opening goods in the supermarket & eating/drinking them before you've paid for them (and then handing the opened package to the cashier at the checkout). The only exception I will allow is maybe, *maybe* if you have small children/toddlers with you. But if you're a grown person, surely you can wait til you've paid for the damn thing. It's called impulse control.

^^^this. also i wonder whether the people who do this actually have the money to pay for the items they're consuming. what if they get up to the register and realize they have no cash, and their cards are maxed out, and the store doesn't take checks?

i wanna say "extroverts" are innocuous things that make me irrationally angry but honestly some extroverts really are disgusting savages.

I was momentarily irrationally angry this morning at

127. Too much foam in my latte

Then, thanks to this thread, I caught myself being angry at something innocuous and decided not to sweat it.

ILX: Self improvement - one thread at a time.

when people say "zero" (as in: "this energy drink has zero sugar") instead of "no." zero is a number; you wouldn't say "this energy drink has two sugar").

Small factual errors tend to attract my attention.

E.g. : not angry, more like "tss, typical clueless media people acting all informative but not having a clue what they're talking about" :

National Geographic, series called Megafactories, during the episode on the construction of the Winnebago (yeah, I watch all kinds of shit) :
"(name) is a heat duct specialist. To guide her work, she uses an advanced computer coding and stamping system called Citrix."

Nerd LOLz - documentary makers saw "Citrix" on her screen, so that must be how she controls that tube cutting laser robot thingy, right?
(FYI, Citrix is a desktop virtualisation tool - it only means that what she's doing is running on a server and not on her local computer)

that's VERY poor writing..!

i.e. scriptwriting i.e. research. eek

Petty details, sometimes. (inca/peru documentary on Discovery or something, talking about the flu and other diseases the Spanish brought over in the 16th century) "The chachapoya were decimated by 90%"

Guaranteed to make me go "Wait a minute! Doesn't decimation mean that 10% died?"

BTW: It used to, and technically, that's where it comes from, historically, but it's now used for all kinds of "the death of a large part of a population" so that's not actually wrong, just me being anal.

"decimate" is the new "penultimate."

stifling lols at the citrix thing here.

Yeah the Citrix thing made me cack myself, Citrix is a POS.

Pseudo Operating System?

128. People who say "God Bless", how do you know I don't worship the sun. fuck you.

How do you know God doesn't?

I dunno, for God to create something, then immediately worship it right after, I guess that would mean God=Prince.

God could probably bless you even without your consent

I have Citrix, where's MY laser????

"decimate" is the new "penultimate."

― 808s and Hatebeak (get bent)

But wait, penultimate still means penultimate, right? Because the expanded meaning of decimate is becoming standard useage, but I would murder anyone who uses penultimate to mean anything other than second-to-last.

(Also, I think the above may be my favourite username ever.)

I have Citrix too, for GoToMeeting.

Yes this! Thank god someone agrees with me. I started a thread about this a few years back and most people leapt on me for being a D.S. and about it being good manners to say bless you.

"Bless you" is nice

I've known more than a few people who have used "penultimate" to mean "really really ultimate"

"Bless you" is annoying. I really don't need people commenting on and drawing attention to the fact that I've just tchacked a bunch of snot into my hand. Seriously, fuck off.

wow

A very religious woman i worked with complained to management about someone saying "bless you" after someone sneezed and "aww bless" to something nice or cute, saying it wasn't right to keep saying it?
Stupid woman!

I sneeze all the time, like it is my job, and I've trained my coworkers to hold off on all the blessing until the series is complete. I'd prefer if it didn't happen at all but what are you gonna do?

Co-worker just sneezed and I didn't say "bless you", thanks for alerting me to how angry that makes people.

waiting for someone to post, "i just sneezed and no one wished me blessings or health! how rude!"

xposts complaining about it for religious reasons is kind of ridic tbf, but it is a ridiculous and antiquated custom that people use and think is somehow polite. The simple truth is that we no longer have rat plagues killing people off one by one and it's therefore defunct. Is it polite to go "Phwoar! I hope you don't have bum cancer!" if you hear someone fart?

I hope so, as I do it all the time.

Phwoar! I hope you don't have bum cancer!" if you hear someone fart?

I might have to start saying this :)

I feel cheated if I sneeze and no-one says "Bless you". Bereft even.

Double bagging at the supermarket.

Phwoar!

129. Employees who comment at my purchase at the supermarket by saying things like "you don't cook, do you" when I buy 20 tv dinners, or "I guess you don't feel very perky" when I buy Pepto Bismol (both of which have happened). This is why I hesitate to buy condoms in stores!
