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

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.

and citrusy!

when staff of a shop don't know a single thing about the products available in said shop

when i contact an ebay seller who doesn't know a single thing about the product listed for auction

retail makes me go grr

people who flash their headlights at you to get you to move over to the right lane in the following scenarios):

a. when you're going 15 mph or more over the speed limit already -- srsly, do the math, you're not going to get where you're going that much faster by going 90
b. when the right lane is free and clear for passing. if the right lane is clogged, it makes sense, cuz it's easier for me to move over than it is for you to pass, but if it's wide open JUST PASS.

Granted, I move over regardless of whether I find it annoying because I don't believe in feuding needless road rage beefs, but I also hate when people rationalize it as if it's 'the law' to move over in those instances.

No, it isn't, and in fact it is technically against the law to flash your lights in FL (because it can be mistaken for light flashing as electricsound described above). So I don't *have* to move, but I choose to because no point in having a fight over somethign so stupid.

^that post^

Ray's Outdoors is having a '2 DAY'S ONLY' sale. I am shaking with rage atm.

Fuck you "Rays' Tence Itty"!!!!

it's good for simon day and a member of his family tho

wait what?

yes now i see the error of my post

Introducing a fake competition element into every damn reality TV show to spice it up for the neanderthal viewers who would otherwise think it's boring.
(i.e. Let's follow these crab fishers/tree loggers/ice road truckers/whatever they fuck they think of next and count how many loads/trees/whatever they get by the end of the season!)

(Crab fishers, ice road truckers, canadian tree loggers -> this is all on the History Channel or Discovery Science, evidently)

• When shows like World's Wildest Police Videos dub siren, horn, and screeching tire sounds into helicopter footage of high speed chases.

That can also spoil my enjoyment of nature documentaries sometimes, tbh. (not siren, horn & tires though :-) )

People who watch shows like WWPV are in the stupidity demographic so bells, whistles mandatory.

b. when the right lane is free and clear for passing. if the right lane is clogged, it makes sense, cuz it's easier for me to move over than it is for you to pass, but if it's wide open JUST PASS.

. . .

No, it isn't, and in fact it is technically against the law to flash your lights in FL

I bet it's also "technically illegal" to pass on the right in Florida. In fact, I bet it's ACTUALLY illegal.
