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

suzy, I said I was joking.

off til 4th.

That was the thing that most bummed me out about moving from Australia to the US: having to work in the week between Christmas and New Year's. Major sad face.

And whenever I complain Mr Veg uses it as an opportunity to gleefully poke me about 'third world economies' which gets my goat EVERY time, lol

Okay, obviously I was way across any sort of line to use the word I did, even it wasn't quite intended the way it came across. But it was pretty disappointing to see that lines were being drawn around me as the "bad guy" well before I dropped that particular post. Perhaps its just best if I fucked off from this board completely.

Oh hey guys. I was, y'know, working and stuff.

The reason I dug up that old Suzy post is that it rankled me that she seemed to think that being disdainful of Americans was OK because she herself is American. Never mind that she's lived in the UK for years. I'm sure I'm not the only one who picks up a "God, I'm glad I got out of there" tone to her posts about the sad provincialism of the colonies.

and digging up a 4-year-old post out of nowhere and with no further comment is the best way to confront that?

Well, as we've all learned today, it certainly isn't okay for us to be rankled by suzy.

I mean, it was already mentioned that I was "quite quite wrong" even before I used any derogatory term.

xxp Maybe not, but I was busy at the time, and Ethan's zing seemed to neatly sum up what I wanted to say.

why would you start arguing with/zinging something posted FOUR YEARS ago anyway? that doesn't scream "busy" to me

Whoa, +++++ was ethan?

jon vc i think ppl were tryin to point out you were caught in xpst confusion, but tbf you weren't really listening at the time

I am glad I got away from the toxic racism which has infected the rest of my immediate family. Wouldn't you be?

Lex, I was skimming the thread while getting ready for work. Suzy's comment annoyed me. I instantly recalled Ethan's zing and went to the archives looking for "smug expatriate hatred." Quickly posted, then resumed brushing my teeth or whatever. Eventually left the house, got on the train, read a book, arrived at the office, did some work. Only a few minutes ago did I think, "Oh I should check that thread again."

i am not calling into question how much time you had to post it, i am calling into question your motivations in picking a fight and shit-stirring from FOUR YEARS AGO. is this your normal behaviour when you look through the archives?

jon vc i think ppl were tryin to point out you were caught in xpst confusion, but tbf you weren't really listening at the time

yes, I see that I was initially caught in the xpost, but people seem to be willfully ignoring the part where suze explicitly said that I deserved it as well for my comment

asshole is about the mildest term suzy uses ime!

I am glad I got away from the toxic racism which has infected the rest of my immediate family. Wouldn't you be?

Of course. But although toxic racism is an undeniable facet of certain parts of American life, I'm uncomfortable with the way you so eagerly cast condescending glances at groups of people defined principally as "Americans." Also, I'm not sure what toxic racism has to do with people purportedly misusing the word "apparel."

also, jaymc is hardly the first person to c/p that particular exchange.

what is happening I don't even...

asshole is about the mildest term suzy uses ime!

which is exactly why I'm confused by how many people scrambled to her defense when I got my back up about her lazy stereotyping!

oh would you let it go already ffs

i musta missed that scramble man, i dunno.

oh would you let it go already ffs

You aren't helping.

Look I'll cop to being in the wrong for bringing out a completely uncalled for C-bomb, but I'm not going to be bullied into feeling bad for being upset by her stereotyping or her pointless, angry tirade.

Well, congrats, you've chased away someone else from this board. You can keep your suzys.

dude.

jon, dude, it's one thread and half a dozen people. Calm down.

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

tbrr i'm not sure any nationality regularly does that

if jon wasn't being such a ~woman~ itt someone would probably have called him a cunt tho

NOT HELPING

dude

salright i'm using woman in a sense jon probably does

just...stop

Not even sure why nakhchivan is even jumping into this argument, but tbh it is the needless piling on of me that is chasing me away. I shouldn't have been bothered by suzy's initial stereotyping (I honestly wasn't aware that she had a long history of that sort of thing) and I definitely shouldn't have used the word I did, but I don't feel like I am the only one who did wrong and I don't appreciate getting piled on by random people that had nothing to do with the initial argument!

srsly calling ppl cunts in whatever fashion AND being relentlessly prissy at the same time is nagl

hence ppl chiding u for being so misoj / via / unchill itt

jon i like you but you need to give yourself a threadbreak. Dont think anyone has piled on you here, and tbh i think you've gotten off pretty lightly wrt 'cunt', esp for ilx.

Nobody's really that fussed, genuinely.

except nakh, but that guy gets intense at strange junctures imo

lol

nah i'm (^ • ‿‿ • ^) today

i ordered a large iced coffee with sugar and skim milk on christmas eve, as soon as i pulled out of the drive thru i said to my wife "you know i bet they screwed up our order and i ended up with some blueberry or raspberry coffee". Sure enough it was fucking blueberry with about 37 sugars in it, i love chewing my coffee. This DD has a reputation as never getting your order right.

OH THANK GOD FOR YOU CHRIS

dd?

Dunkin Donuts.

who the hell drinks blueberry coffee anyway? gross.

Seriously my last post in this thead (and probably ilx in general, for a while), but I just want to clarify again before I go that I wasn't intending to call suzy that word. It was a seriously dumb way to try and make a point about namecalling, but it completely backfired. I don't expect, nor deserve, forgiveness for using a word like that and I can understand why people are upset with me for using it. I get that part.

refers to busty server iirc?
