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

u guys

^this

Yipes. We get irrationally angry about windshield wipers and typography, not each other. This ain't no octagon.

Tbh, I don't consider being called an "asshole" an "innocuous thing".

p sure that was for jaymc, tbh?

also p sure that was an hour and a half ago.

Oh, okay, in that case, I can feel okay calling suzy an annoying cunt? She should be over it in an hour and a half, iirc.

o wo wo wtf

Dude, seriously. Are you high?

I'm over it like NOW, little boy, since it would only hurt me if I had any respect for you - but I lost that c. 90 minutes ago.

guys come on, there have to be better ways to spend the holidays

Just trying to prove a, more than likely misguided, point.

lol dude she states pretty clearly that she didn't call you an asshole

Ooh an image zing. I've learned my lesson now.

Worst Jebus birthday fight ever.

I mean, don't get me wrong, Suzy is a strong-personalitied poster with whom I have certainly had disagreements in the past. But you have been taking the thread off topic for over an hour because you're tripping on something she said to someone else.

I'm sorry you got caught in the crossfire but you've got to admit that's exactly where you put yourself.

I'm pretty sure this is where she admits it was meant for me as well.

Either way, meant for me or jaymc, it was not cool at all to call either of us an "asshole" like that.

nope. caught in the xpost.

But, you know, this is another case of well-liked ilxor getting away things others would be vilified for.

I probably wouldn't be so butthurt about the whole thing if so many people wouldn't have jumped on her side from the get-go.

pretty sure a lot of posters would rate getting called an asshole even by some newb well below "vilification" and somewhere closer to "innocuous". and here you are, irrationally angry.

Dude, jaymc dragged up a somewhat infamous 4-year-old post by suzy which has been roundly mocked by ilx in the past. Whether he did this out of gentlehearted, aw-shucks, old-times lols or meanspiritedness is really only known by jaymc. I'm sure that it wasn't maliciously intentioned, but jaymc isnt' around now to explain. I absolutely do not fault suzy for sniping back at him for it. And as I said before, I'm not like, suzy's best friend who would stick with her through thick and thin.

I'm honestly not angry, I just think its pretty funny that suzy flipped out with this long diatribe calling people "asshole" for being rubbed the wrong way by her dismissive stereotypes, but I'm the only one taken to task for "overreacting". Yes I did overreact, but I'm not the only one.

that kind of shit-stirring, pussy-ass, lazy revive-via-c/p is the kind of ilxing behaviour that most makes me irrationally angry. especially when the one doing it fucks off, indicating that they have nothing whatsoever to say on the subject in the first place

dude, i would have like to have jumped in on your side but you were quite quite wrong that it made it quite quite difficult. and then you called suzy a see you next tuesday and that was pretty much "the ballgame".

he might have had a big meeting at work or something, lex.

honestly this has been worth it to spectate just for learning "see you next tuesday"

he might have had a big meeting at work or something, lex.

it is very generous of you to think this! esp considering it's the 28th of december

I'm at work!

Also FYI: there's not going to be any kind of official typewritten apology from 'all of us' on ILX letterhead to you, dude. So...

(see you next tuesday? omg that is great.)

lol he's American, we don't all get the entire holidays off!

It wasn't clear by my post, obviously, but I wasn't using that word to call her one. People were just being really flippant and dismissive of her namecalling and I wanted to raise eyebrows and show how that kind of thing is just stupid. I regret using such a powerful word to provde a silly, misguided point, but that bridge has been crossed.

"prove"

LOL @ gbx - will you be needing a frost-repelling drink later?

Jon, your post with the cankles and the hillbillies was pretty condescending and you're not exactly owning that.

I thought jaymc was being pretty assholish, mainly because I never, ever go digging through the archives in an attempt to embarrass other posters.

Do the British get some huge chunk of time off for xmas?

Jon, your post with the cankles and the hillbillies was pretty condescending and you're not exactly owning that.

I was pretty sure that just by using the word "cankles" it would be pretty clear that I was trying to be funny, but I guess I severely misjudged how it would come across.

I can't believe an American guy called a woman a cunt itt!

I am shocked!

Shocked!

She's British - it's not offensive to them.

christmas day and the day after are national holidays, and if they fall at a weekend, we get both following weekdays off instead. so not a huge chunk, no. xxxposts

there we are then.

booked 2nite suzy but thx!

and yeah I think its pretty common for Brits to get waaaay more winter holiday. if americans took the week between Xmas and nye that'd eat half their allotted (for most).

You get two days off for Christmas and Boxing Day - because they were Saturday and Sunday, we get Monday and Tuesday off in lieu. Most people go back tomorrow.

xpost

I was being completely tongue-in-cheek with my last post, in case that didn't come across.

tho if I were on-service now I'd have only gotten a three day work week (mon for a sat xmas and fri off for a sat new years)

oh that's why the fucking post office wasn't open today then! (back on topic again.)

xpost LOL, Jon, stick to architecture ;-).

Gbx, am here in MSP until the 6th so it's an open offer.

I AM NOT A BRITISH.
