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

HE DOES SO TOO EXIST

yeah, that's the thing, flying reindeer and a fat guy who gives out millions of presents made by elves I have no problem with, but have a penguin travel halfway across the world and suddenly they've gone too far

it's highly irrational anger

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!!!

but I ought to realise that it's really annoying because my Dad is even worse abt this than I am, have had so many major shouting door-slamming arguments w/him which started just because he was taking about a week to tell me something I already knew (or he'd already said six times) and I was trying to get him to the end of the goddamn sentence

This lady in my complex is either walking a dog or taking a kid outside (I've never bothered to investigate).

But when he/it is done with whatever they are doing, she shouts "C'mon Jake". And says it again. and again. and again. and again. and I hear it over and over again loudly through my window and I JUST WANNA SLAP THE SHIT OUT OF HER.

I mean it's amazing to me that something this random happens multiple times, maybe that's why its so annoying.

People posting YouTube vids that are oh look at this cute child themed. Don't mind these if they're funny but I mean ones you can tell are awful based on the description.

Also people saying "fricking", seems to have gotten hugely more popular in recent years but especially among specific types of people.

Austin Powers fans?

the woman in line today at barnes and noble who while paying for her books was still shopping for stocking stuffers while the cashier was waiting. hey leather, nice leather trenchcoat.

Michael Buble. Though I'm not convinced that he's innocuous.

Tomorrow I expect my mother-in-law to subject us all to his Christmas warblings for extended periods

stuff your ears with peas and carrots. seriously. you may not survive through the New Year.

xp his?

Buble's

unless his mother in law is a man who sings then that's a whole different kettle of fish

Haha, rather disgustingly a FB friend of mine posted the status "is it just me or is M1chael Bub1e pretty spesh?" I thought it was a joke until someone else weighed in and they started comparing what rows they were in at his concerts and contained the classic comment "I think we are latecomers to the buble party!"

Sorry, Buble's, not ma-in-law's

aint no party like a buble party u_u

I apologize for this automatic reply to your email.

To control spam, I now allow incoming messages only from senders I have approved beforehand

nevermind, I don't need to email you, ever.

you should let them approve you and then compose email messages with spam subject lines like 'gr0w yr p3nis for HER!'

Kerm, it's time to hit them back with: I apologize for this automatic reply to your email. To control spam, I now filter messages from narcissistic, self-important twats like YOU

they won't receive the email

aint no party like a buble party u_u

lol

Service industry/steward/flight attendant types who have forgotten 'please' and 'thank you' and instead frame every request in the language of needs, eg., "I'm going to need you to sit here' - I AM YOUR CUSTOMER, YOUR 'NEEDS' ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS MINE.

I am going to need you...

"And when do you see this need arising?"

I think this has less to do with what the person actually means and more to do with what the person unthinkingly repeats what he/she has heard other people say without considering the semantics.

ugh, that sentence

I am so out of it I don't know who Michael Buble is.

That you may know his face and see him for the beast that he truly is

He is made of cheese and assholes.

"I am going to need you to" is about as passively horrid as the new checkout signs at our supermarket that dont say "register closed"... they say "let us serve you at another register". Way to confuse.

^^^That's like the tills at Boots which say 'staff nearby will be happy to serve you' and you look around and NO STAFF NEARBY. Anywhere.

More air travel: I have a clear one-litre Kiehl's makeup bag specifically designed for carrying liquidy cosmetic things through airport security - they're good like that. Idiot security woman at Heathrow handed me a fucking plastic baggie and made me transfer my cosmetics to it. Me: 'I'm sorry, but my bag's designed to comply with TSA rules, why are you insisting I move my stuff into it?' Idiot woman: '...' Me: 'Seriously, why? You should be able to tell me why a rule is there, right?' Idiot woman: '...' Me: (big cheesy I HATE YOU grin) 'I'll take your silly bag but maybe try working on being a bit more informative, OKAY?' (exits). Felt like saying 'I'm going to need you to stuff that baggie up your cooter...'

Not as innocuous, but still: flight attendants that bend over backwards to give men A-1 service and then either ignore or are downright hostile to (other) women. I get the feeling they'd elbow a woman in the face to have the privilege of pouring a drink for any guy in a suit. I'm pretty sure they positively screen for female misogynist applicants.

Employment: calling a job a 'role'. Like you're playing a part in your school play, not going to work. HR-speak, killing the English language one word at a time.

ppl who archive og rar archives

h8 u

add to that: people who put passwords on rar files. FFFFFFFFFF

bloggers who paste the name of their blog into practically every data field for every mp3 they share, so it's like:

song title: 01. Gay Dad - Dimstar
artist: HUNKNAWESOME.BLOGSPOT.COM
album artist: MR. BLOODCLOT
album title: Unknown Album (15/3/2009 15:06:01) @ HUNKNAWESOME.BLOGSPOT.COM
genre: HUNKNAWESOME
comments: ripped @ 96kbps by MR. BLOODCLOT @ HUNKNAWESOME.BLOGSPOT.COM
album art: [actual photo of Mr. Bloodclot, who seems to be DJ'ing :-/]

I mean I'm grateful that you're sharing free illegal music with me, but am I expected to bow my head and say a prayer of thanks to your bountiful bloggishness every time one of "your" ineptly tagged songs comes up on my ipod? fuck's sake, constrain your narcissism to the comments tag or maybe a tasteful text file. (lol though if I get caught with the contraband and the RIAA beats a trail right to the door of your dumb little webpage)

I downloaded a copy of ABBA's "Arrival" that had some Brazilian forum's url plastered all over the tags — when I listened to it it was a crackly vinyl rip recorded from a turntable with speed issues -_-

people who steal music and then complain about it

ok, listen, asshole:

there's nothing innocuous about stealing music.

xxpost: ppl who miss the *irrational* part of this thread ie its okay for everyone to rant about what. ever. they. want.

it's fuckin anarchy I tell ya

no, people who steal music and complain about is an innocuous thing that makes me angry. don't cry guys, it's christmas

I'm not angry

Makes me ia when people who steal music have a code of moral conduct around stealing music e.g. seed your torrent for two months or else you are a selfish and immoral person. DUDE YOU HAVE JUST STOLEN SOME MUSIC.

(not getting uppity at the torrenters/newsgroupists here btw, not even passively-aggressively)

honour among thieves and what-have-you i guess

makes me ia: the non-word "verbage"

experienced one today: people who flash their lights at you to warn you of police further up the road

OH THANKYOU YES I AM SPEEDING AND DRUNK OUT OF MY MIND WHILE DRIVING HOW CAN I POSSIBLY THANK YOU

I'm good with those folks. Nothing wrong with warning about a speed trap. The local PDs around here even tell the public where they're going to be on certain days. Most of the times, it's just cops looking to fill a quota anyway.

If you're really that drunk, you're likely not going to catch on even with blinking lights and the abundance of "day lamps" on newer cars these days has about rendered this practice moot.

That apple dictionary sees fit to correct every other word I type, but can't tell when I've missed a space between two separate words. Livid, I tells ye.

AND it keeps replacing perfectly legitimate words with the names of American politicians. When the hell would I ever want to squeeze a Kennedy on my fish and chips.

aw, but ted was so cuddly.
