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

Deerhoof?

I was thinking No-Neck Blues Band but that could work.

. . . and grooving with a pict

- seeing 360 new answers in the Breaking Bad thread while I'm still working through Season 4
- trying to make my eyes glaze over every time I see the words "Breaking Bad" in any form of social media

Why is telemarketing not illegal? Seriously. WHY. Why.

freedom of speech. But there's this thing called the federal do-not-call list:

so put your number on this paper:
https://www.donotcall.gov/

Oh, it's on there.

two years ago, I wanted to get free Fandango tickets, so I did this TrialPay thing where all I had to do was submit a request for an insurance quote, did it, and thought nothing of it, got the freebies.

Of course, since I had to use my real info to qualify, I started getting emails/calls for insurance a few days later, and I figured "big deal, I already have insurance, they'll die down in a few days".

Two years later, I still occasionally get calls from people trying to sell me insurance. SOMETIMES 'FREE' ISN'T WORTH IT.

- when a friend who has my email address opts to Facebook message Jeff instead of email me to catch up. This is a friend of mine from way back in the day, too, not a mutual friend or Jeff's friend first or anything.

ppl who cut off 1/4 of a donut and leave the rest

JUST TAKE THE FUCKING DONUT, YOU MARTYR

hahahaha

I take a whole doughnut and the 3/4 one to restore balance.

xp OTM

Especially because you know they had their filthy pee paws all over that donut to cut it into bite size pieces.

exactly!

i even called someone out today who I saw cutting a donut

I was like 'Oh so you're one of THOSE people. Seriously. Just take the donut. No one's going to eat the remainder.' and she was all 'but I don't want a whole one' and I just wanted to throw it at her.

or stab her with the plastic knife as an example to others

but I didn't so I am not writing this from jail

I will eat your remainder donut. But not if it's maple, bleh.

yeah maple almost always sucks, it always tastes like airfreshener

at least on 95% of donuts

There was an extremely anal retentive dude who worked as kind of a business analyst manager in my friend's old job. They'd have a box of donuts on Fridays, but for a number of weeks, there would be a couple extras at the end of the day that'd be tossed out.

Said friend took a bite from a donut around noon and replaced it on the other side of the box, bite mark obviously showing, and the control freak guy almost had an aneurysm

Maple is my favorite donut. ;_;

Jalamaplepeno.

Apple cider donuts until I die.

my favorite donut shop made a peanut butter and jelly donut that is like, ride or fkn die awesome

I like my donuts to be donut-flavored you weirdos

yeah maple almost always sucks, it always tastes like airfreshener

this reminds me that I had a blueberry-basil gourmet popsicle at a food fair and it felt like i was eating soap. that made me mildly annoyed, but I wouldn't really say IA. The thing is though the texture of the popsicle wasn't even very good.

it tasted like high-end soap though

I bought some rosemary/salt bread at the farmer's market and it tasted really not v good. the rosemary had this kind of overcooked soapy/anise kind of taste to it, it was v overpowering and gross

i hate it when things smell yummy and taste bad

The high end version of what are you reading is Oh you're reading that well let me tell you what I think about that. Which is fine as long as you're at or close to the end of the book of course

I drove through Little Rock today with a guy who's lived in Little Rock since 1989 but apparently doesn't know how to get anywhere from Point A to Point B in Little Rock.

"Wait, you're telling me I can get to this place out west without having to drive due north?"
"YES."

I'll totally eat a half a donut if there's one there, cat pee or other filth be damned. That shit boosts your immune system.

A local grocery store leaves out donut scraps under a dome near the bakery and it's always a delightful crapshoot to see what's there when I run in to buy a lime or whatever.

The grocery store across from our old apartment always had the BEST baked goods under that dome. Lots of heft pieces of apple and cheese danish, brownies. I miss that place so much.

the city where my office is located currently has at least five separate roadworks ongoing, all within a mile of each other, so no matter which way I go to work, I get stuck in slow roadwork traffic. it's like they looked at a map, figured out where the detours would be for each roadwork and then said, let's do one there too!!

i am all for public works and fixing roads but RAGH maybe don't do them all simultaneously

Bad brand names make me IA. The new litterbox I bought yesterday is Nature's Miracle®.

iirc the original Nature's Miracle product was one to clean pet urine. imo, anything that can neutralize the cat urine smell is a miracle

Flatscreens over the mantle.

YES

god, I have had friends who have lived in new homes or condos that have had built-in television shelves or mounts at that level. who the fuck wants their television five feet up the wall? god, my neck hurts so much just thinking about it.

The Arkansas football coach still has his Wisconsin house on the market. We did a little blurb about it with a link to the slideshow. Dude was worth however many millions of dollars, and still stuck the flatscreens over the mantle.

The Tom Petty's house thing made me think of this. He had a painting of the American flag sitting on the mantle, leaning up against the rock wall. That also makes me IA, but it's the flatscreens which really hurt my feelings of decorum.

I think the premise is that you have a room for casual entertainment with a better area for watching movies or whatever if you're rich, but why the hell even have a television in that room at all if you can't hide it somewhere

flatscreen over the mantle is a definite IA

pplains otm

I mean, you wouldn't have placed it up that high before, right? The reason flatscreens are so cool is because you no longer need a bulky entertainment center to take up an entire wall, not because finally, you can take that Olan Mills and put up Monday Night Football.

plus one of my irrationally happy things is sitting watching a fireplace when the logs are burning away etc

don't put a fucking TV over that shit. put the tv somewhere else. let me watch my fireplace in peace

Ideally it would have a sliding track that would allow you to position the screen over the fireplace in the off season, so that you can have a video of fire during the summer months

My parents have their TV over their mantle. There is more comfortable room for watching TV. On my last visit, my mother had gotten rid of the couch and pushed the dining table into the corner and rearranged the furniture so that there was basically a random collection of mismatched recliners scattered throughout their living/dining room (it's like one big space with the kitchen off of it) so basically we just lie back and stare up at the TV, like being in a planetarium except we watch terrible action movies instead of learning about space.

There is NO more comfortable room for watching TV, that is. By which I mean there is one room where people gather to watch TV and that is the room with the TV over the mantle.

I am sorry for this horrible arrangement

It's like a cross between diminishing the importance of the television and elevating it at the same time that's so jarring. As if acknowledging that allocating floor or wall space at the right height for the television is something you're not willing to do, but you're willing to give it prized real estate above the mantle, where you previously might have had a family portrait or beloved piece of artwork

Our tv is on top of an entertainment center, mantle-height but not over the mantle itself. Am I a bad person?
