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

Yes dude at record store. Go through each cd one by one at a glacial pace. Examine each cd from all angles like you are a pawn shop owner inspecting diamonds. No one else wants to browse.

drive thru rage

dumb older lady in a lexus minivan asking them to cut one of her burgers in half, do they sell grilled cheese sandwiches, what sizes are the sodas, should she order a desssert or will there be enough food, do they have any plain sandwiches

I contemplated laying on my horn at least 20 times

GO INSIDE YOU DUMB LADY STOP CLOGGING UP THE WORLD'S FASTEST DRIVETHRU YOU ARE RUINING THEIR FLOW

Double strollers and the people who use them. These women in Panera blocked the aisle with theirs and when asked to move it, one whined out through her nose, "But where am I supposed to put it??!" EXACTLY.

I'm trying to thing of a person or subject that wouldn't come across as vaguely contemptible if featured here, and failing.

everyone stop saying 'pro tip'

strictly amateur tip

some energy saving motherfucker keeps turning off the light in the bathroom the next floor down at work

it's a bathroom in a very public building!

just leave the goddamn light on!!

turn off the building lights, teach them a lesson

someone did that to me once while I was...erm...dropping anchor in the men's room. and the bathroom was in a church that wasn't particularly well lit, so it went pitch black at that point.

really hate in movies/tv/etc whenever there's a one-sided phone conversation in the script -- there is ALWAYS a little interlude where the one character you're listening to goes "no. no. no. yes. no." because apparently the person on the other end of the line just asked five yes-or-no questions in a row. it's always there to make the convo seem more realistic or to just drag it out and it's never ever realistic on account of it always happening. and never really happening in real life

jfc just write both sides of the conversation

there's always more nos than yeses too, and they're always organized in a way that doesn't seem too obvious because no one ever says "no. yes. no." in response to three questions ever, that would just seem too fake

'there's always more nos than yeses'

(sobs)

no

Spotify splitting up artist's discographies so that (for example) half of it appears under 'Martha And The Muffins' and half appears under 'Martha & The Muffins'.

I then get angry at myself for being annoyed by something so inconsequential.

should say 'artists' discographies' above, wtf is wrong with me.

Martha & The Muffins have 1,487 followers, compared to only 163 for Martha And The Muffins, which is where their new album appears, unfortunately.

should say 'artists' discographies' above, wtf is wrong with me.

do not mean to make you still more angry, but in fact it would've been better to put "an artist's discography" (rather than plural "discographies"), so avoiding incongruity with "it", though any error in your original sentence was incredibly minor and would probably have gone unnoticed without your brave confession. your anger regarding martha and/& the muffins is totally justified.

I have raged irrationally at Spotify's way of organizing artists before. Like, instead of assigning each artist a unique numerical identifier, they go only by text so that if you search for the band "Witchcraft" you get Witchcraft the badass Swedish metal band and also Witchcraft the German (I think) jazz trio, which is just dumb.

Not just search, I mean when you click the link for "Witchcraft" it brings up albums for both artists with no differentiation between the two other than the user's ability to hear that they are different bands.

ugh yeah bands that start with a The and have at least one AND in their name....5 permutations of the same band name each with a partial discography BLAH

I think I raised similar Spotify complaints upthread or in the prior thread and was told that it's because the metadata is bad. Seems like something they ought to be able to work around though, ffs.

is rdio any better y/n

Walgreens sends out an email when it's time to renew a prescription. All you have to do is reply to the email and it will renew the prescription. But it doesn't tell you which one it is. Maybe I have two, one I want to renew and one I don't? It's stupid.

Refill, not renew.

what pisses me off more is that if it's one that requires doctor authorization they send an email saying "we'll check on that" and then you either get an email saying that it worked or you never heard from them again

it's like, hey guys, weren't you checking on that? how'd it go?

Makes me feel right home :(

You can now change this in settings.

ooh, thanks

I'd have noticed by now but I'm off my meds and feeling nothing but angery

I swore to never go inside Walgreens again after several stress-inducing-but-not-worth-going-into-here instances.

My new pharmacy delivered my prescription to me the other day! Fuck you, Walgreens!

The Walgreens by me always has inexplicably long lines at odd times. Actually explicable, by the fact that they tend to only staff one cashier who seems to also have other things to do around the store.

Walgreens delivers.

I'm happy with their recent changes - tech advances in the pharmacy are huge. I like their newly reorganized stores, their house brand stuff is good and cheap (Nice!), and I've gotten about $15 from their loyalty card in the past year, which is a Nice! little surprise every once in a while.

xp - I've seen huge improvements in customer service in the ones around here. Not Trader Joe's friendly, but they NEVER let lines build up, and they're professional and they know where shit is. And *what* shit is.

Walgreens sure doesn't deliver around here.

My new pharmacy even sent me a thank-you card in the mail.

its like the CVS stores around me have gone to shit and the Walgreen's have straightened out a lot. the CVS by my house is a nightmare.

Of course, but I'm more IA at the process itself withthe lack of prescription name. It's IA because I'm sure there's a good reason for this, privacy or some shit I don't care about.

Walgreens locking up razor blades so that you have to ask someone (there's never anyone around) to come unlock the case so you can shave.

Or worse, when they lock up deodorant and toothbrushes, so if you want to find a toothbrush you can you use you have to wait for someone to come open the case up for you, then make them wait while you look at the 100 choices of toothbrush to find the one that is right because they are not actually visible through the locked cases.

Well at Walgreens *IN CHICAGO,* they don't use locks, they just put deodorant behind this sliding mechanism that only allows you to take out one or two at a time. And when you push the little button for the razors or Zantac, a worker comes running right away.

je55e you love walgreens soooooooooo much you want to be pregnant with its chain pharmacy baby, all craving drug-store brand canada peppermints and delivering at one of 800,000 convenient chicago locations

was it surm who was really into wandering around walgreens?

Some Walgreens lock up all that shit! It depends on where it's located. The one by my old job locked up everything. The one in my current building doesn't lock up anything.

Fun story that I can tell now: during the course of our attempts to get me knocked up, I was trying to buy pregnancy tests, but they were fucking LOCKED UP and I had to ring for an employee, which broadcasted a recorded voice throughout the store saying "Customer service is needed in the personal care department" over and over until this like 22 year old guy came over like ten minutes later and I had to point out the pregnancy test I wanted, which whatever I am a grown ass woman, there is no shame in my game, but he was so clearly flustered by it that I got embarrassed for him. Also I was standing there next to the locked up pregnancy tests, ovulation kits, condoms, and lube while the voice announced to the world that I was waiting for customer service and I wanted to wave at everybody like HI YES I AM WAITING TO PURCHASE ONE MAYBE ALL OF THESE ITEMS. Also all of this was happening at the Walgreens that was directly across the street from my building and where I pretty much never didn't see somebody I worked with.

I bought like Brut unscented rollon for the five years that I worked at that old job because it was the only deodorant that wasn't locked up.

IA: I keep dialing 1 before the number when making work-related calls from my mobile phone.

I was talking to a dude who has been assistant manager at a Walgreens and a customer called and asked if they had any vibrators, to which he clarified they meant the massagers in the personal care aisle and not some sort of back massager, and then was asked to explain the different options available (brands and features).

Not so many diverse options at Walgreens

stupid question but why is deodorant locked up?

it's easy to shoplift

there are actual like shoplifting rings that make $ stealing like tide and deodorant then selling it to dollar stores
