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

kid next to me was having a ~babycino~ today

afaict most starbucks ish is basically a babycino in an oversize cup

Mom and her kid at sbux last night, 10 yo girl asks for half-and-half. Just a cup of cold half-and-half.

a) yuk.
b) wtf

My Mum would have been "Don't be stupid. Have a glass of milk when you get home, I'm not paying for that."

- ppl that are too precious about hot beverages

i have had the civet coffee, my bro bought it from some place in london (have a feeling it's one of the bigger/better known stores). It tasted great, was really smooth, with very little after-taste.

so it didn't taste like poo then

i microwaved days-old coffee this morning :x

and then i put milk in it, which gives it this hideous dull gray color

eh I drank a pile of horrible coffee at my in-laws over Christmas. sometimes coffee is coffee.

And I'll drink bad coffee, but don't make me put that horrible Coffee-Mate/non dairy creamer garbage in it. At least let me have some milk.

YES that is irrational angry-making: convenience store-type places not having REGULAR milk/half-and-half, fuck outta here with your hazelnut

They have 4 different flavored coffees here at work and a bunch of flavored creamers - ppl will drink caramel flavored coffee with french vanilla creamer. How they aren't hurling into the sink after the first sip is beyond me.

i order the coffee for our office (we have a keurig too), i order extra bold everything. People who want flavored can blow me.

my inlaws drink Stop n Shop brand coffee. Even after bringing some nice bags of coffee down for them for christmas, i get stop and shop brand.

People who want flavored can blow me.

A+

hmm most of my sons christmas presents, mostly toy story 3 related have all sorts of ridiculous anti-theft wiring on them...20 minutes to open Buzz Lightyear while your son screams at you is not fun.

Oh yeah, that stuff is over-the-top.

Pretty smart from the retail end though, I guess.

and the fact that in one aisle i can get the "limited" edition toy story 3 mr potato head for only $60! In the aisle right next to that one i found good ol classic my potato head for $10. Fucking Disney

people who are returning shit without a receipt and who haven't even attempted to remotely familiarize themselves with the store's return system who HOLD UP THE DAMN LINE for someone who just wants to BUY ONE GODDAMN BOOK AND HAS THE MONEY IN HAND TO PAY FOR IT.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE STORE

anger is rational

truth

people wh osay "only you control your happiness".

bullshit.

angry

as we have proven time and time again in this thread, our happiness is held at the mercy of morons on a daily basis

"Boy, it sure is hot, ain't it?"/"Man, is it cold!"/"Oh, wow, is it pouring!" and pretty much any variation on those comments.

I know talking about the weather is a staple of small talk and thus human interaction, but really? So what? It's the weather, it's there, do we really need to discuss it? If you're not mentioning how it's going to effect your plans or about to blow me away with your plans for an actual weather controlling machine, I don't care.

rong 4 lyfe, imo. It's the weather, it hits everyone

I love people who talk about the weather – esp strangers – it means they are NOT doing something like assuming I am their buddy in hating "illegals" and complaining abt them, por ejemplo. Weather is beautifully, perfectly neutral.

abbbott otm. I do wonder though why we don't make small talk about breathing, etc...since that's pretty much universal too

i mean i come from farmers and fisherman, i can talk all day to fuckin goebbels about the weather

small talk abt breathing = health, imo. And ppl that get into their health as small talk are the worst

"Irrational" anger, yes?

I'm content to just stick my finger out of my front door first thing in the morning and, regardless of whatever that bodes, stoically get on with my day.

yeah, true.

with Darrragh re small talk from farmers. My Dad and I bond over talk of the weather. Even though I'm here and he's there and we don't have a lot in common we can talk about how much water's in the lake and the flood in woop woop and have a nice conversation.

xpost didn't mean to be dissing your IA. Have at it :)

R Baez, I hope you are now irrationally angry – at me! Use your hatred!

hahahaha

oh yeah, by all means blast away RB be a short and boring thread if we all agreed

maybe we could totally disrupt ILX with 'THREAD OF THINGS WE ALL AGREE ON"

From now on I'll just bottle up all my irrational anger and shout them into holes in the ground. Or walls, like at the end of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.

Constructive, y'know?

but we like your IA, RB!

we're gathering it all up to make a big mashed potato-like sculpture of that mountain in Close Encounters

ur irrationally angry bout all this imo

I'm as cool as a cucumber in actual life. Beyond grimacing whenever I realize someone's about to bring up the fact that "hey, we're in Texas, it's hot, wot?", I'm as calm as the surface of the moon.

sea of tranquility a misnomer imo...that place is KERAZY

It's the new Ibiza.

having to stop drinking coffee because i was getting a pain in my side and my balls. doctor feels relevant bits, looks really worried... then says "hmm... everything seems to be okay. what's your diet like?" so i get around to mentioning that i drink three cups of really strong instant coffee a day and he replies "well give that a rest for a while and see how you feel." pain went after two days. but it looks like no more caffeine ever :(

that's harsh

instant coffee is pretty rough tho, have u tried like having one cup a day of good coffee>

Kidney stones can happen as a result of drinking too much coffee and not enough water on a bad diet.

tbh i don't miss it much, i sleep better and i have more energy. prob will try a decent cup of joe again sooner or later, but at the moment even a can of coke brings the ache back a little bit.

yeah, doctor mentioned that. if the pains stay away in the long term i should be alright as long as i watch what i'm eating/drinking.
