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

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:

album artist: MR. BLOODCLOT
album title: Unknown Album (15/3/2009 15:06:01) @ HUNKNAWESOME.BLOGSPOT.COM

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.

RONG

From the Florida Driver's Handbook: Passing on the right IS only LEGAL when there are two or more lanes of traffic moving in the same direction or the vehicle you are passing is making a left turn. Pulling off the roadway to pass on the right is against the law.

In the UK people who don't drive in the inside lane when it's clear ahead are the worst fucking savages on the road.

^^^ THIS IS WHY EVERYONE HATES FLORIDA THAT LAW IS CRAZY TALK

Like, the middle lane of the motorway is not for people who feel like middle lane kind of guys, okay?

mr. Jeb Bush vetoed a potential statute in 05 reserving the left lane for passing only.....

and yes, driving in Florida is awful. granted, I don't have much to compare it to, but the one time I went to Colorado I was impressed by how much more civil the roadways were.

in Florida though people often run red lights when they're in the center lane and the green arrow comes up for the left lane, becuz they're stupid and not paying attention...dude in front of me almost got brained by some asshole that did that two nights ago.

Laws vary widely from state to state, so it can be difficult to keep track of proper left-lane procedure. Here's a simple rule that will keep you straight in the vast majority of situations: GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE FAST LANE.

there are an awful lot of idiots in FL that will drive under the speed limit in the left lane.

And they probably think it's their birthright: "I'm the one who is obeying the law here."

n Florida though people often run red lights when they're in the center lane and the green arrow comes up for the left lane, becuz they're stupid and not paying attention...dude in front of me almost got brained by some asshole that did that two nights ago.

Seeing blinders on stoplights makes me feel real skeptical about the human race as a whole, where they have to disguise a traffic light for another lane so as not to confuse drivers who aren't turning left or whatever.

In Missouri, they put blinders on the STOP SIGNS. LIke, some guy came to a screeching halt in the middle of four-lane U.S. 63 and caused an accident because he saw a stop sign off the corner of Old Festus Road.

I've been getting more and more annoyed at a simple natural process.

However, it's the circumstances in which it happens. Some lowlife dog owner somehow manages to let his (big, by the looks of it) dog shit on my pavement every couple of days.

Not in the gutter, no, on the pavement. Where people are guaranteed to step into it late at night or early in the mornings when it's dark. Why the fuck do I have to clean it up?

I've tried dog repellent but that washes away when it rains, of course.

I'm seriously considering sittin in my car in front of the house for a whole day to see if I can confront him/her when I catch them doing it. But I also know myself, sitting there all day would stress me out so much that the owner is very likely going to have to eat his dog's shit before I let him go.

What DO you do in my situation? I doubt the police is going to send a team to keep an eye on my street for a couple of days. Maybe I should report it just in case though. If they get a complaint about my pavement then they'll know I'm not at fault.

See? Why the hell do I have to clean up some stranger's big smelly dog shit AND waste my time even thinking about dog shit at all?

GRRR.

My longest post ever? lol

get therapy.

leave a passive-aggressive note

Maybe I should do something creative - take pictures and blog them, or collect the turds until I find out who it is and then leave a giant one on their own pavement. Oh, and therapy. Good idea.

Webcam? My mum's dog Willie used to go to the neighbours' to hang out with their Bichon and crap in their front yard. My mum died of LOLs when Mr. Neighbour was angry enough to leave a napkin full of Willie's turds on the roof of her Cadillac (she couldn't really blame him for being cross).
