Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

I was gonna say after that first paragraph, you got it honest in that regard.

ikr? He was also pathologically grossed out by grape gum, which if you will recall from the "Grapermellon" days, is another weird aversion of his I seem to have inherited.

pplains, you have my deepest sympathies.

If I could turn down the shrill the way you can desaturate a color in Photoshop, I might be able to handle more than 30 seconds of the show. The other time I was exposed to it was in NC when we were at Kings Dominion or whatever the big amusement park is down there and they were playing SBSP in line for a ride and I remember it being unbearable then, too.

Carowinds

That's right.

I got a little sad that you forgot that.

You'll be okay.

I was in a grocery store one time where this toddler was screeching her idiot little head off just to be making noise. She would use whole breaths to let out ultra high pitched screeches that gave me a fight-not-flight reaction. And her idiot mom's reaction? Total adoration: "What are you singing? Hmm? You sing really good, honey! You're a good singer!"

you should come hang out at my apartment for a weekend sometime

I get that kids scream, but it was the mother's ENCOURAGEMENT that stuck with me. Not just encouragement, but special-snowflake stroking.

And I'll come stay at your place the first weekend in July. Thanks.

I think she was just mocking her child.

She was not mocking her child!

I think she was just mocking you.

noize toddler

been semi-irrationally angry all dang day

TOO MANY PEOPLE

TOO MUCH BULLSHIT

NOT ENOUGH LOVE

I was like that yesterday, CZ! Sucks. SO mad at everything. Zero patience. I highly recommend 20mgs of hydrocodone + snuggling with a 3 year old and a lil grey kitten to pull you right out of that.

IDK, there are exhausted moments where you resort to this kind of resigned half-sarcasm with a toddler because you know they won't listen if you tell them to stop. "Thank you for throwing all of your egg on the floor!" etc.

haha yeah definitely. ive said something along the lines of "oh you're throwing your trash/toys/food/clothes on the floor. well, of course you are. where else would they go?" a bunch of times lately but i always feel shitty about being sarcastic. way too close to bitter for my liking.

I feel confident that she was not using sarcasm. I understand sarcasm and I thought somebody would suggest I was misinterpreting her praise as sarcasm, but she wasn't being sarcastic. In fact, I think she said, "I sincerely love your scream-singing, Diamanda!"

Admit it you just hate children and parents.

TOO MANY PEOPLE

TOO MUCH BULLSHIT

Not quite IA, rather just moderate annoyance: Called the bike shop to schedule service and the manager who answered was obviously trying to multi-task b/c he kept pausing and barely audibly counting: "Twenty, thirty, thirty-five, forty..... Yeh, so you can come in tomorrow, we're open, uh, and uh..... sixty, eighty..... and, uh..... so yeh, tomorrow is fine."

That's when you're supposed to mutter "Ninety-five, ninety, eighty-five, seventy..."

When I'm scanning site new answers and see a thread that looks like it might be interesting only to find out it's on ILM and the interesting concept/discussion point is the name of some band I've never heard of.

yeah I was really looking forward to that weekend when we'd all be vampires :(

Wings: classic or dud?

carl otm!

Carl, you can adjust your site new answers settings to not show ILM threads.

No no this isn't to do with not wanting to read ILM, it's to do with being disappointed that Is there a thread for playing God? and Thread of Disclosure are just about some boring bands.

There are quite a few that catch me every time:

• Life Without Buildings

• The United States Of america (Always get this confused with a similar gr8080 map thread.)

And I've slowly learned that Swell Maps is a band.

I get that with sports boards, some of those have great thread titles. I should probably filter them out as I have no desire to participate, but every so often you get an amusing diversion.

Thread of Disclosure

That's the one that prompted me to make that post!!!!

I get enough value out of ILM that I don't want to hide it, but I did hide all the sports threads (except I Love Hoops) for that reason.

I changed the colors of new answers - ILE and 77 blue, the rest grey.

I follow a variety of businesses and services on Twitter. It makes me IA when they continually just RT other people saying good things about them instead of actually offering useful information about their product or service. Worst yet, they don't use the Twitter supplied RT function, they just manually RT, so I can't block it using Tweetbot. Despite this, I keep following them because occasionally they actually offer useful information.

oooh yeah what jesse said

white goods that lie about their cycles

i started a 30-minute quick wash 25 minutes ago, and it's saying it's got 17 minutes to go

actually that's not irrational, wtf am i talking about

new-fangled nylon shoelaces in nike sneakers that will. not. fucking. stay. tied.

GODDAMN YOU *cries*

i don't know if this is IA or just something that always makes me rmde, but i wish that in band press releases, wikipedia profiles, old-timey myspaces, interviews etc, every instance of "_______ is inspired by" or "_______ is influenced by" would be replaced with "_________ claims to be inspired/influenced by". what follows is always some obligatory and eccentrically diverse grocery list of every single artist the band generally agrees to listen to in their van or w/e. and i just don't believe that you guys are really thinking that hard about prince (ALWAYS PRINCE), elliott smith and laurie anderson when you're recording. bands don't really work like that do they? "whoa we gotta lower the depeche mode and amp up the bikini kill a bit! AND KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PRINCE LEVELS"

some probably do, even to that extent. but probably not most.

when people use "entitled" as the short-form version of "has a sense of entitlement."

I didn't even know that made me IA, but now you've said it, I realize that it does.

- Google kept bugging me to use my real name on YouTube, so I deleted my YouTube account, which was created under a pseudonym. Now Google has kindly created me a replacement YouTube account... using my real name.
- My anger is rational and justified.

Jesus so apparently by deleting the pseudonymous YouTube account I tacitly gave Google permission to use my real name on YouTube. I tried to log out of YouTube, but that logged me out of gmail, and when I logged back in and went to YouTube to see what happened, it reset the privacy settings.

I fucking hate Google.

google is getting so pushy and creepy now

The Google/YouTube thing is 50x the clusterfuck the Yahoo/Flickr thing was.

My main problem with the Yahoo/Flickr thing was that I could never remember my Yahoo ID or password because it's fucking Yahoo and I hadn't used it since 2002.

The company i work for switched all corporate e-mail accounts to gmail so half the time i don't even know if i'm using my work ID or my personal ID for stuff that isn't e-mail. Not that i'd ever use it, but my Google circles / Google + stuff is half music journalists / Serbian popstars and half managing directors of language schools all mixed up together.
