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

It is 2014 and you are a legal professional. Why are you using STATIONARY and a script font in your email?

Also I can't figure out how to turn it off (the place where I should be able to turn it off does not have the option - stupid firm customization) so I'm basically held captive to this fruitloop's blue sky and clouds background for as long as this email gets bounced around.

I work for a publishing company and communicate with different editors who oversee various magazines. They're all great people.

But they get this habit of somehow embedding a thumbnail of their latest cover into their signature, and when I "save all" to retrieve their art attachements online, I always snare that thumbnail in my net too.

I don't get too angry about it, but it does get old.

lately the really silly thing that's gotten me skeeved = food delivery mistakes. Recently I've had a pizza delivery place bring me a sausage and peper sandwich with BBQ sauce on the side (instead of a sandwich w/ BBQ chips), Domino's forgot both waters I ordered, and today I ordered a Powerade and dude brings me a Coke, useless to me cos I don't drink soda much these days.

I mean it's on the receipt yo!

(I generally dislike ordering in but work this last week has kinda forced it)

When you get a really good facebook thread going and your friends are posting funny or awesome additions left and right and you're liking every comment, and then all of a sudden some rando acquaintance comes along and posts something kinda thuddy, but you feel like you have to "like" it too or else it will look kind of mean.

whenever someone (not an acquaintance/friend/family member) mishears you and says "what?"

it just strikes me as extremely rude and dullard-y. like, "excuse me?" or "i'm sorry?" or "could you say that again?" would comprise too many syllables wasted on a scrub like me, so all you can manage is a flat, stupid-sounding "what?"

Nothing irrational about it, but I'm IA about retail product companies, groceries in specific, trying to sneak smaller package sizes past a public that they assume isn't paying close attention. The latest one I noticed was a 1 lb. pack of hot dogs is now a 15 oz. pack of hot dogs.

fucking hate that

stupidly designed stupid fking stupid mop

roller mop, with two screws to secure mophead. replacement mopheads are threaded differently to the goddamn fking screws so the stupid fking mophead won't even stay on for more than one wringout and then you crawl around with a wet mop trying to screw the motherfucking back in and

the worst part is this particular mop is the only thing that has ever come close to cleaning my floor effectively

whhyyyyyyyyyy

dumb old sponge mop

Let's cool it with the Seinfeld references, internet. It's an over-saturated market.

LOL! Seinfeld wearing Google Glass! How funny!

yeah I also get IA about people not s-ing tfu with the Seinfeld references, and also Jerry himself makes me IA to the extreme

really dumb things to get worked up about, but largely has to do with the fact that I hate 75% of the people who live in our condo complex.

-People who get the mail, and instead of pulling over to the curb right next to the mail, they park right next to the card reader that lets you into the gate. Meaning that basically nobody else can use it until they're done getting their mail. Yeah it's maybe a 2 minute delay but it smacks of 'ey fuck you guys, this is MAH card reader!".

-you have to have both a wristband and a gate card to get into the gym (kind of stupid, but w/e). this one guy there refuses to get a gate card, even tho you need it to get into the gate. so he enters the gym either by cutting through the office, which isn't allowed, or by going to the entrance, knocking on the door, and asking one of us to let him in...which we're not technically allowed to do. when I mentioned the card to him he's like "ehh I don't got one, I do tihs all the time". don't really feel like losing my gym privileges (since the folks in the office tend to be meticulous w/ rule enforcement), so next time I'm gonna pretend I don't hear him.

I could not live in a gated community/complex. My sympathies.

the raccoons are the worst part of it. they're everywhere due to the heavy amount of trees in the complex and they ain't scared of nothin'. and they usually inhabit the area near the mail unit because there's a trash can there and assholes throw McDonald's bags in it instead of mail which attracts them.

One night it was like 1 am, and I was just gettin home from an out of town concert, and wanted to get the mail. I walk towards it, and there's a raccoon, who has knocked over the trash can. I see it and am all like "o it's probably more scared of me than vice versa". So I walk towards it slowly, and initially it backs up.

Then I take another step and it stays put, gets on its hind legs, sizing me up, and hisses.

Nope...mail next day. No sir.

I live in a place that's been the butt of a few jokes, but listen, I've got to throw this stone anyway:

But gated community, aggressive wildlife, assholes who hold up traffic by doing things like reading the mail... throw a handgun in there somewhere (maybe give it to the raccoon) and you've got the perfect postcard of snapshot of Florida, at least in my mind.

Jeff and I lived in a gated community in NC for about six months. I was adjusting to life in the south, particularly wrt my stereotypically aggressive northern style driving and people slow poking through the gate drove me crazy. One day two cars were involved in the slightest of fender benders, more of a love tap, and instead of pulling over to exchange info they stayed in the one lane gate entrance while cars backed up behind them. I lost my shit and started yelling about god damn redneck idiots and then realized my window was down.

They moved though so no regrets.

lol can't argue w/ that

heroic moment IMO

the one time I got rationally angry in this complex is that two women were 'walking' their dog around the entrance of the community while they threw their trash into the dumpster. I use scare quotes because the morons didn't even leash the dog, which on two occasions darted out in front of cars.

Instead of picking the dog up and being all like 'wow this is a bad idea', they laughed as if it was cute, like he pooped in someone's shoe. being a former dog owner and animal lover I couldn't relax until I finally saw them take the dog back through the pedestrian entrance, safe from harm. Assholes.

The closest I've been to a home association/gated community would be apartment complexes or the time I lived in a building of condos. Oddly, the condo building was worse due to the fact the apartment complex actually had some long-time occupants and a general sense of community. The condo complex was older retired couples with nice plants on their patios, young (often coupled) people who thought of it as a starter home, and renters who didn't seem to give a fuck about anything.

The renters, sensing they would never be part of the community, just fucked around and let empty beer cans fall off their balcony and had weird comings-and-goings at all times of the night.

instead of pulling over to exchange info they stayed in the one lane gate entrance while cars backed up behind them.

Whenever I'd see those signs on the Chicago interstates that say something like "IN CASE OF ACCIDENT, MOVE CARS TO REPORTING ZONE", I'd think "Aw, they're thinking of me."

If you really wanted to see a human (and canine) genocide, you'd hand them out to the squirrels.

my friend claims to have been attacked by squirrels once

there was just too many of 'em

bahaha

They love screaming at me and the dogs.

When people don't close the front door all the way, so that there is light shining through the crack. The amount of effort bypassed in just swinging the door closed behind you vs properly closing the door is so infinitesimally tiny and yet, it is too difficult a task for many people to complete.

People who stand nearest the train doors then take longer than a fraction of a second to press the door open button after it lights up.

NOT HELPING

To be fair, our (Aus Post) postie is always very good with our mail, even after our dog once hit him hard in the nuts and made him curl up on the ground

lol

i'm endlessly fighting with our p.o., they've gone from simply smashing up my records to entirely losing them or breaking my electronics for laffs instead

a postal carrier in the parking lot of the local upscale grocery store asked me if I could help her open her kombucha the other day

The quantity of cornmeal and breadcrumbs that an english muffin can emit.

letting agent taht says she's going to be calling to inspect the place I've been in for the last 78 years every 3 months from now and that things need to be subject to their view of how the place should be after 7 years of no inspections. Up to now it s been up to me.

rotten health from lack of sleep and getting soaked while waiting for buses that don't appear because college exams being held up the road without my knowledge are totally screwing up the bus timetable.

& the combination of the above 2, me desperately tidying up a place and not getting it done to their satisfacton while feeling rotten with flu etc meaning that I never finished the trousers I was working on for the project for a sewing course I was on. & now the waistband seems to be way too large by number at least. Well, will hopefully get these finished by tonight which is something.
& then get back to all the other projects I had to put off for the massive springcleaning.
They don't want there to be boxes on the floor of my living room & want to see all the surfaces in the kitchen. Apparently other people have been given notice for not keeping the place totally shipshape.
She didn't tell me to get rid of the shelving in the hallway but said that other agents might. Which all has me screaming.

That was 7 years not 78, moved here in 2006. & not had many people in from any of the owners over the years. Did have water finally sorted out so I got hot water in my kitchen after about 4 years & have had a new washing machine about 2 1/2 years ago too.
Then I had a new letting agent turn up some time last year who did a lot of work on some kind of fire regulations that seems to inclyude some points that are really strange like them insisting that bins that have been pretty far from the stairs in an otherwise empty stairwell for 7 years get put outside where they're open to the weather, heavy winds etc. & have messed around with stair railings and weird stuff.

Since I posted that on Sunday the letting agent has announced that they have to come back for a reinspection this week. & I had just been hoping I could get into the clothing making I've been having to put off. Want to get an African material shirt cut and made for Saturday since there's an Africa day event being held in a local school premises. Got a frock coat I want to make before it becomes too warm to wear it and have been putting off for the last while.
Now got her threatening to go to the council if things aren't up to her idea of scratch. Had been seriously losing sleep over it last week so when she turned up I'd had about 4 hours sleep if that for the previous few nights & she didn't seem happy that I wasn't happy about what she was saying. But I guess tenant/landlord relationships are frequently bad.

really dislike people who respond solely to shit on stuff other people like. like if it's an open discussion/debate or internet thread, all bets are off, but I like say I'm going to see a band on a certain date or post an RSVP to a concert and every time you swoop in to brag about how you've never liked them despite what *everybody else* said, yr a douche.

I wouldn't call that irrational at all. But if that bugs you,

Fixed.

And then my post needed actual fixing...

A very large man on the next table at Pret keeps squeezing through the 20cm gap between my table and his, instead of going around, and his butt keeps brushing like a THIRD of my table, so I have to move my food aside, and I can't move my table because it's next to a wall.
He just did it AGAIN when he left. Some girl has taken his place and had the genius idea of moving that table over.

In My Humble Opinion (IMHO) one of the big problems the Patriots have had is shutting down opposing offenses. The Seattle Seahawks showed why this is important. You can score 35 points a game but if the other team is scoring 42 points a game, you still lose! I think Belichick knows this and is giving a greater emphasis to defense knowing Brady and their offense can score enough to win. Stopping the opponent from coming back late in the game is what had been missing.
