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

"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!

citrix suck fyi btw ty

What's wrong with double bagging? Some of us walk several blocks to the grocery store and you definitely don't want bag failure on the trip back.

Spesh with them rubbish Tesco bags.

I put one sliced loaf in and it did split.

Tesco bags are SHIT aren't they? I guess they're made like that on purpose.

Thing about sneezing is I usually do it because of photosensitivity, which means like 4-5 big ass sneezes when I leave a building until my eyes adjust to the sun or whatever. I mean I already feel like a jerk sneezing so much but it makes it worse to get 5 'bless you's in succession.

I habitually say 'bless you'...sorry ILX. (Don't know why, not relig at all). However I draw the line at multiples. You'll get maybe 2 'bless you's maximum, and not if they immediately follow each other. Allergies/sneezing attacks, you're doomed, no amount of blessing can save you.

jeez it's pretty obvious when someone's on a run of sneezes just wait til it's done and bless em once ffs

makin me so irrationally angry up in this

do you have to indicate via a formal statement that it was an all-encompassing bless?

there's a particular hand movement, it's kinda pope-y

pope-y g stinkgarten in fact

Haha awesome, lemme just tweak dog latin's posts to cover co-workers who always ask "Are you OK?" after every ten-second coughing fit resulting from me choking on my coffee, which I do on a weekly basis.

people at bus stops that have been there for 5 + mins, that when the bus actually arrives and enter it, then start to look for money/change or ticket.

People who, when you ask them to please speak up, do so for the next three words, then drop back to their previous inaudible volume.

132. The fact that there is a show on the television named "Thintervention"

ugh yes hate that fucking show name

133. Phrases used like Quadrilogy on product. IT'S TETRAOLOGY FFS

Yeah I hate the word quadrilogy too!! It always makes me think of the Lobster Quadrille from Alice in Wonderland, lol

Are you sure about that? I thought Tetralogy was the study of horrible deformations.

ya know like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetralogy_of_Fallot

tetralogy = four of something
teratology = study of deformities

the potential for misuse here is kind of great

like some kind of botched diagnosis that ends with the patient being told they have four of something

If they send you to a tetrateratologist, you probably have four deformities.

If they send you to a teratetralogist you're probably writing your 4s all wrong.

lol what a difference an extra "o" makes

Being in a stationary vehicle makes me furious.

134. People who wear backpacks but have no sensory awareness.

^^^^
This is me sometimes. I have been shouted at a few times.

In my defense I actually have a minor condition similar to dyspraxia which makes me less spatially aware than most people.

135. Being unable to prevent my spoon from falling into a large bowl of soup.
Poor utensil management + love of large bowls of soup = irrational rage.

In my defense I actually have a minor condition similar to dyspraxia which makes me less spatially aware than most people.

= you don't get to wear a backpack in public

136. thousands of shiny happy employed folk on their charitably-minded saturday morning heart walk, closing down streets, fucking up the bus schedules

People packing in a coffee shop during the work week. If I take a day off work I want to be able to sit in a non crowded coffee shop.

138. when grocery/ad flyers have differently sized pages (like half height or width for weekend only specials etc) stapled at the outsides so that you can't hold the damn thing to flip the pages without some part of it flapping about against my hands = SEETHING RAGE

now that sentence doesn't even make sense as i've written it. clearly demonstrates the intensity of my irrational anger.

139. People who walk slow as ass through a crosswalk. I DEMAND A SENSE OF URGENCY BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOU
