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

I don't know how he meant it, but I was still fuming over Mr. Picky Shoelaces so it pissed me off.

I was so guilty of making terrible sever jokes when I waited tables. I remember very clearly busing a table and saying to the person with the completely cleaned plate, "Well, you must not have liked your entree very much!" and really hating myself.

My least favorite train bag combo is laptop bag, purse, gym bag, yoga mat. And a newspaper.

It's always one of these gym bags, too:

Best line from a server came at a Perkins. Buddy of mine was trying the raspberry pie for the first time and loving every bite. Waiter comes by and asks how's everything, and my pal replies "This pie is orgasmic!"

Without missing a beat, the server says "I'll come back by with some more napkins then."

Now I'm getting IA at myself for getting IA about people carrying all those bags because it would only be two bags (laptop bag and gym bag) if women's clothes had enough (or any) pockets that they didn't have to carry a freaking purse everywhere they want.

xp LOL that is excellent.

- it's not a jeans day, but it's the day before a holiday, so I get that you want to wear jeans, but isn't the comfort of wearing jeans offset by the fact that you decided to wear a jacket and tie to what, disguise the fact that you wore jeans on a non-jeans day?
- This makes me doubly IA because if you're an attorney you can just go ahead and wear jeans to work if you really want to, even when it's not a jeans day, and nobody is going to say anything to you.

Guys seriously all this anti-abortion legislation being snuck/forced through in various states has used up my IA reserves and now I cannot handle the innocuous interactions of every day life. The Carl Agatha Fury Alert Level is Red.

That North Carolina shit is beyond infuriating.

I've IA'd about this a bazillion times but: ppl who order coffee etc and then start a conversation and completely ignore orders being called. When this person does finally approach the bar they will not even GLANCE at the coffe that's been sitting on the bar for 10 minutes because there's no way THAT could be THEIR coffee, they will ask the (ugh I hate this word too) barista 'HAY IS THERE A COFFEE FOR ME" and I just wish they could open the coffee on the counter and pour it on their head

generic labeled toothbrush heads that keep coming off my electric toothbrush while I'm brushing my teeth leaving a long prong of metyal unsheathed to try to poke me in the nose with.
I had several months with an earlier generic type that worked perfectly, but couldn't see what they had been listed as when I first got them.
Now wondering if generic toothbrush brands have been removed from ebay since they don't seem to be up on at least the Irish site and they were a couple of weeks back. Maybe everybody has just been being left with the brush falling off and a lovely piece of metal on a backswing to the face since it tends to happen unexpectedly.

That North Carolina shit is beyond infuriating.

goddamn it really is not cool when you consult a newspaper to find out about one infuriating news story only to discover ANOTHER kind of infuriating news story, isn't there only supposed to be one of those at at time IF AT ALL

doesn't really fit thread though. not innocuous

Oh god what did NC do now?
What's wrong with "barista"? It's what they are.

:( I last lived there in 2004, so I have this misconception of NC being very conservative, but not quite as fucking horrible as all that.

It went blue in 2008 and then all the conservatives got scared, did some gerrymandering and have pretty much taken over. It has one of the worst governments it has ever had now.

The thing is, though, is that by all accounts it is getting LESS conservative. So that's probably why the GOP is shitting themselves in terror and passing monstrous legislation to try and retain their foothold, bunch of fucking turds.

xp yes, that.

Fucking gerrymandering, fucking VRA, fucking Supreme Court.

I was actually actively wishing death on a few members of the Supreme Court this morning, which makes me feel horrible.

Virginia Fox needs to die. Where is her district, I wonder.

NC is weird in that there are an abundance of nice, tolerant folk, but there are pockets of these crazy fucks spread out throughout the state.

My parents live there and there is one asshat that puts tons of obnoxious, gigantic signs on his lawn, promoting hideous shit not at all removed from the shit in the article above.

I didn't realize that Sharia law was still kicking about, much less that a special session had been conducted for it. When Libertarians ask me what my problem with 'states rights', I point to state records on abortion.

Foxx, rather.

Just checked, and no surprise, her district is in the shitstain mountain county I used to live in.

I actually think that NC's tolerant people/turdbrained fucks set up is that weird. Actually, I think that's how it is in most states. The problem is that the turdbrained fucks now have the power to redistrict and make sure that they get reelected by other turdbrained fucks, effectively gutting the democratic process so they can keep on passing laws that actively harm their constituents.

It makes my head hurt to even think about how these walking piles of garbage justify their actions to themselves.

DON'T think it's that weird, I mean. Sorry, blinded by rage and despair.

NC is weird in that there are an abundance of nice, tolerant folk, but there are pockets of these crazy fucks spread out throughout the state.

See, I'd say that there are pockets of nice, tolerant folks bobbing in a sea of mean assholes.

It's sad. You thought it may actually have gotten better when Jesse Helms (5 years ago as of tomorrow!) died and they voted for a black man for president.

Good grief at that URL though: north-carolina-gop-tack-multiple-abortion-restrictions-onto-sharia-law-bill-requiring-literacy-tests-for-voting-and-making-killin-because-he-needed-killin-a-misdemeanor

Buying a glasses repair kit where the screwdriver is non-magnetic. What fucking use is that?

I'm carrying three bags on the train. ;_;

Sometimes I carry three bags to work, although one is my lunch bag, so I don't know if that counts.

so tired of america's bottomless need to mouth empty platitudes about the troops

it's a thursday -- thank you for your dedication and service. it's the middle of the seventh inning -- we are forever grateful for the preservation of our freedoms from the predation of landlocked central asian tribes

i mean i guess there's no point in celebrating congress or whatever, but maybe there are a few things to consider apart from militarism

we are forever grateful for the preservation of our freedoms

apart from abortion, of course

mookieproof otm.

one thing that used to irk me about NFL football games was that the recognition of the military was often given by the Priest doing the pre-game prayer (which is ALREADY fucking awkward and RONG to begin with). Like, ok, I get that liberal Christians recognize that every now and then, there's a need for war (although no such conflict we've been involved in recent years has fit that description), but it is a little creepy for the heavy military message is coming from a dude of the cloth.

I'm not mr. "anti-military", though I am a pacifist and don't believe in war in general. basically means that I don't post anti-military messages or disrespect for the troops, but I also don't spend 25% of my day going "thank you troops" because while I do support their livelihood and returning home safe, I'm sick of the constant message that suggests that it is the MILITARY that is keeping our freedoms intact and that if they had misstepped once in the last decade, we might be under a foreign country's rule. We ain't fought a meaningful war in decades. STFU.

I do have military friends and I'm not one of those libs that goes "MAN, I DIG YOU, BUT I DON'T DIG THE SYSTEM YOU FIGHT FOR, MANNNNNNNNNNNN", so I don't want to paint that picture, but lord, like you said mookie, it's overkill and a bit eerie.

mookie and neanderthal OTM

Everyone otm.

Let's take a moment and thank everyone in this thread who's been otm.

This thread is a testament to the 1st amendment.

Sometimes it’s important that you treat a soldier the way you would treat anyone else.

kinda undermines yr goal given how 75% of people treat 'anyone else'.

but then again it only says 'sometimes' it's important so

I bought some nice tights on sale in H&M

Have been wondering since no longer having a separate food waste bin what the local area service does with what goes into their food bins. Have been expecting them to do something somewhat sustainable with it since they seemed ratheradamant about keeping non food objects out of it. I've been changed over to a service that just mixes food waste up with the rest of the landfill waste. Subsequently it will add to landfill which I'm really not into. BUt having thought that when the bins arrived yesterday have been wondering if I'm deluding myself taht something better was happening with the system I've just been involuntarily shifted from by a landlord I have no contact with.
I guess at least this new crowd does recycle to some degree but it looks like every other bin service around town has a separate food waste bin, which I've always thought of as a compost bin. But shades of believing that your doggy has gone to live on this lovely farm in the country I fear.

at work back in the day we had a 'recyclables only' slot and a 'trash' slot in our nearby break stations.

we found out at the end of the day, the group that collected it just mixed both together and put them in the landfill.

assholes.

In the work kitchen, we've got a bin divided into three sections - plastic, aluminum and garbage.

Every day after putting my food in the microwave, I'll stand there with my Healthy Choice™ cardboard box and go Wait a minute.

I hate when you're waiting on confirmation on a rehearsal schedule before you plan your weekend, and the dude waits until 4 pm on Friday to reply, only to say that "he will send it later".

Sooooooooo....guess I'm free tonight then? ugh.
