Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry (a list thread)

my irrational anger is at threat level orange for today in general, fyi.

xp to grrl: The ONLY thing that makes me iaer than that in a Mongolian barbecue restaurant is the people who order pad thai off the menu. What the hell are you doing in a Mongolian barbecue restaurant?

This thread sure does seem to get rolling each day, right around the start of business, AET.

ahahahaha yes. Odds on it'll peak on the 25th/26th then die for a week.

yair get the pad mongol instead xpost

I have a true story about Mongolian barbecue and I don't know where else to put it so I'm putting it here.

My father is yer classic meat & two veg. He won't eat anything that he considers exotic or foreign or 'spicy'. We took him to Mongolian barbecue because he could choose what he wanted and have complete control over his meal.

First bowl: beef, various veg (celery, onion &c.), a few recommended sauces.

Second bowl: beef, water.

Nothing else.

SERIOUSLY.

xp mong pad

I hate when people assume they were the only one in a public bathroom and flip the lights off when they leave. I remember being in a church bathroom taking a dump once and this asshole left and did that and very briefly I was pooing blindly

Turning off bathroom lights is a victimless crime, like pooping in the dark

ever tried WIPING in the dark?

dunno about you but neither my hands or TP require light to work

it might be hard to tell when you're done though unless you have the tactile sensibilities to detect the absence of squishy poop that lays between the TP in your hand and your shit-covered anus.

nonononononono

res otm.

resbelais

eat more fibre imo

I don't feel so good

what does fiber have to do with poo-residue perception?

it's a rich tapestry

tapoostry

it's a rich tapestry

you mean the shit that I end up smearing on the walls?

not for me to judge the wiping methods of others

it's too late baby, yea it's too late....

ftt

'Atheism-as-fashion-statement' people are really getting on my nerves today. SHUT UP, NO ONE CARES

But it looks so good with my shirt :/

- bizarre non-inclusions in my phone dictionary. "apricot", "penguin", "giraffe" ffs

but of course "iirceded" is a word fuck you nokia

if i recall correctly each dictionary educated differently

ppl who say "oh hey this thing looks wrong" and you fix but they keep talking "i just noticed it was wrong & thought oh thats weird & so i saw it was wrong & wanted to tell you bc it was just so weird that it was wrong." omg let it go its fixed now!!!

if I'm ever a manager I will insist on being called Mr Manager.

Please tell me that's an Arrested Development ref

yeah it was.
I tried to start 'cheers drive' on the bus when I moved to the US but I don't think anyone understood what I was saying :(

I left my phone in the bathroom of my local strbux, and didnt realize til I got home. I drive back & ask if anyone handed in a phone & they say no so I figure its still in the bathroom. Its in use, so I wait. When woman walks out I ask if she saw a phone in there. She says, "Yeah it's in there."

Gee, thanks. Wtf? How about you hand it in? If I see someone's belongings lying around, phone, keys, wallet, I hand it in! Fucking savages.

People leaving shit alone is not really savage. The inevitable taking of shit belonging to others is what's savage.

Yeah honestly if I saw a mobile phone in a cubicle I would probably leave it there too, (a) so the person who left it there would find it by retracing steps and (b) because I don't want to touch someone else's shit-covered phone tbh. I touch as little as possible in toilets.

I guess, but...okay, shrug, maybe I'm the only one with the inclination to turn something like that in.

I'm with VG. If you leave it there, you risk the next person coming along just stealing it. If it's in a coffee shop or something the person it belongs to will probably end up asking at the counter if some shit got left behind anyway.

lol "some shit" (vis a vis things being left in the bathroom, hee hee)

I would definitely bring a phone left in a stall up to the counter.

Okay, feeling better now. Was afraid I was captain nerd there for a moment :)

oh and happened again tonight - I bought maybe 15 things at the grocery store and the bagger swooped in before I could start doing it myself and I wound up with at least 10 plastic bags. Why do they insist on only putting 2-3 things in each bag! SO MAD!!

xp tbh it's never happened to me so my response was hypothetical. I would probably hand it in and then just wash my hands.

unless the person actually shit on their phone I don't think you have to be too worried

aahahahaha

Recently we bought a few calico bags for the shopping, and the guy at the checkout ripped ALL of them trying to jam them on the metal bag holder thing AND THEN killed the bread by packing it beneath a load of cans. Obv we complained and got new stuff.

- supermarket staff crushing my bread

- people who say 'I don't read the broadsheets, they're too big' when the only alternative is a murdoch

It's a sad state of affairs when you look upon a good sensible grocery bagger like a magical unicorn. I think there's maybe 1 or 2 at my local chain supermarket. Out of how many, I don't know but those are some sucky sucky odds.

The worst is Costco. Ugh I swear no-one knows how to put anything in a fucking box. Yeah good lie everything flat and oh yeah why don't you put the big round thing on the bottom you moron. Every single trip we end up snagging a decent box on our way out and then repacking everything at the car. Mr Veg was a Price Club dude back in the day so he's extra snarky about them... but they really are the worst.

This thread has corrupted me. Every time I sneeze four people yell 'BLESS YOU' and I go bonkers.

whenever I see some christmas decorations and there are reindeer and polar bears and whatever, but also penguins. There are no penguins on the north pole.

and santa claus doesn't exist

HE DOES SO TOO EXIST
