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

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.

lol can't argue w/ that

I lost my shit and started yelling about god damn redneck idiots and then realized my window was down.

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.

whhhhyyyyyyaaaarrrrrrhhhhhhulksmash

Intellectually I know that pollen is part of plants' reproductive citizens. BUT GODDAMMIT WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE AN ALLERGY TO WHATEVER'S BLOOMING RIGHT NOW, AND WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE WITH MY MUCOUS MEMBRANES' STAKHANOVITE PRODUCTION OF SNOT? MY THROAT IS RAWER THAN SUSHI RIGHT NOW.

"Citizens"? I meant to write "functions"! See how this damn throat has distracted me?

daily, searching getty images makes me furious

Eating in public places that are not specifically cafeterias, break rooms, restaurants or other generally accepted spaces designated for eating should be banned forever.

please elaborate

as i eat at my desk...

I'm sympathetic to that one as when I was office-bound, I flat out had to eat at my desk on some extremely busy days, as many times my lunch was a working lunch (or I had to at least be monitoring emails/instant messages).

and sometimes there just flat out were no tables available downstairs in our cafeteria (and our break rooms aren't suited for eating).

what about parks?

Eating in non-eating spaces is a thing which makes me irrationally embarrassed -- or I thought it was irrational, but now I know it makes other people angry maybe I should be even more embarrassed.

In angrier news, meine Deutschlehrerin hat meinen Bleistift gestohlen. It was a good pencil too and I get irrationally attached to stationery and I spent five minutes mentally formulating the politest German way to ask if it might be my pencil but she didn't stop talking for long enough to ask before she swept it into her bag.

when people clip nails in public into their handbag or backpack or whatever, i'd rather they let it fall on the floor because otherwise i'm picturing a handbag full of fingernails, and maybe they put corn chips in there too, so i'm picturing them sitting at home eating corn chips from their handbag and occasionally chomping on some nails.

I get ia/iembarrassed when people bring outside food into a starbucks or a place that already sells food. an old coworker of mine used to bring her lunch from home with her to the cafe we ate at sometimes and I couldn't stand it. she wouldn't even order coffee!

i get angry when what they bring in is more delicious-looking than anything on the menu.

i get worried that i'll be sanctioned

I'm honestly asking, what kind of non-eating places? Because any place can become an eating place if you put your mind to it!

yeah I am curious abt this too

parking lots? dancehalls? janitor closet?

The first thing I thought of was the bus, train, and the train platform.

Also you know what I hate it when people eat anything other than popcorn and candy in movie theaters. I don't want to smell your Jimmy John's sub or whatever bullshit ~~synergy~~ the movie theater has going on with a fast food franchise.

I am sure a bunch of you are going to say that you do this, and my own beloved Je55e does this, and I don't love any of you any less but the smell of your nacho cheese is distracting me from this movie about a haunted tricycle or whateverthefuck.

i have been known to eat a hotdog maybe like twice in the movie theater, but I always feel weird doing it

I don't like when people eat on benches or other common areas outside. Especially when it's something like a salad and they have it precariously balanced on their lap and the wind is blowing and they pull a bottle of salad dressing out of their pocket and then their napkin blows away.

they have bottles of dressing in their pocket???
