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

holy...wow

I'm guessing it was one of the students from the university on one of the floors below us, because I've heard complaints before that their bathrooms are NASTY. But still, the fact that a university level student would stoop to this is o_O

that's just gross.

feel bad for the cleaners who have to actually, yknow, deal with it too. YUK

urrrkkk

re: when people write "must of" instead of "must've", I get irrationally angry

see also when people write "I'm going to try and do X" instead of "I'm going to try to do X"

Exactly. Our cleaning lady is the sweetest ever too.

Leave a bunch of flowers at the door "For the sacrifice you are about to make, your country thanks you"

dude had to have a lot of poop inside him to poop in 3 stalls and a urinal

either that or he did it in shifts but....y'know, actually, I'm done thinking about this

you'll be back...

lol

because no one in the world ever ordered a diet coke just because that's what they like to drink and they enjoy the flavor

sometimes it's just more comforting to believe this

maybe it was a Shit Squadron....(k veg you were right)

you are King of Poo, San Te. Accept your crown.

should I sanitize my head first

oh NOW you're going to be prissy

Why must every thread turn pooey ;_;

Let's just say it's San Te's fault.

also I love that every poo thread contains a sad face from Trayce, and/or all caps lamentation

:D

meanwhile, back at the ranch...

I hate it when assholes are driving under the speed limit in the left lane, and instead of being mr. Light flasher, I pass on the right (legal in FL), and the asshole speeds up to try and not let me pass

― pon de river, pon deez nuts (San Te), Tuesday, 15 February 2011 01:15 (Yesterday)

is it really illegal in some states to pass someone on the right when there are two or more lanes running in the same direction? it never even occurred to me that there'd be a law against it.

I dunno, I've lived in Florida my entire life and it's legal here (we don't do the whole 'left lane for passing only' thing)

maybe this kind of this has been mentioned already in this thread but saw this today in the big grocery store in the kitchen things that are not food aisle:

makes me both sad and angry :(

so many carrots going to waste right there, hidden among the non-foods, because of laziness

You mean someone's stuffed that there and it should be in a fridge?

irrational anger at fashion people constantly saying/writing that they are 'obsessed' with things. STOP IT

i have a story similar to xxxxxxpost, I went to a White Castle for the first time with a few buddies at like 11 PM on a saturday night and saw the most ridiculously horrifying bathroom I will ever see in my life. toilet bowl was filled, toilet seat was shit on, sink was shit in, shit was all over the walls (like, the dude must have just bent over and projectiled all over the fucking wall), not to mention a few piles around the toilet. I just kind of stood there in awe after opening it, trying to take it all in, attempting to figure out how in the world one person could possibilty have that much violent shit inside of him, or if it could have possibly been two or more people responsbile. it can really keep you awake at night, going through all the possibilities and realizing that not one seems even remotely plausible

trainspotting toilet scene to thread?

(xp) Yes! On a much less violently disgusting level, but my old work had a giant carvery-style pub near it with like 15 stalls in the ladies', and on one occasion I went in and found an unflushable 2-foot horseshoe of shit of the same shade and consistency in at least half of them (cz halfway is when I gave up in disgust).

I spent way too long that week thinking about how that might have been humanly possible. And now I'm doing it again. And talking about it on the internet. Uhh.

Sorry, Trayce. Sorry, internet.

How have I turned into the anti-poo campaigner all of a sudden!

96. People who only go one stop on the bus. They could walk, most of them. Obviously, it'd be mean to chastise the elderly or the infirm for going one stop. Though, it's probably a good idea for the elderly to keep active.

On the occasions I've had to take the bus that goes by the University I've got on before the nearby student area, or am going to the far end of the service. There are normally queues of students who don't want to do the 10 minute walk to the campus waiting for the bus. Always has struck me as absurd.

Also where I live they have put bus stops every 250 yards or something in a couple of places. I feel guilty at times stopping the bus so that I can take the longer walk across the park to get home.

I've noticed a lot of people doing that on my way home at night. I've watched people wait 20 minutes for the next bus, then get off two stops later - a walk that would have taken 8 minutes top. Its insane.

-People who back compact cars into parking spaces. I can see why people who drive big vans want to do this, but are you that bad a driver that you can only leave the parking lot without incident if you can drive straight out? Or you're trying to save thirty seconds leaving?

Killer is they always drive through the empty parallel space instead of backing in. And it's technically illegal to park this way in FL but it's not enforced.

Okay, besides being illegal in your state, what's wrong with pulling through a parllel space? I do that when I can, it does make it easier when you leave, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so and I never back into a parking space.

-people who leave eBay/Half.com/Amazon Marketplace as if it was a review of the product.

Left feedback for a seller the other night and noticed the guy had another negative rating. This buyer had left him two stars for a live DVD he bought, his reason being "the band didn't seem too interested during this performance".

Jon - nothing, if you're in a relatively empty parking lot during a quiet time of day.

Everything when you do it in a crowded work parking lot between 8:30 and 9:30 am when there is heavy traffic.

I one time almost got smashed into head on because I was pulling into a space and the jackass on the other side had decided he was going to 'back into' that space so he tried to pull in from the other side.

Apparently he thought I was supposed to assume that he intended not to park, but drive through the space in front of me.

Also when I carpooled some moron chick hit my friend's car when trying to back in! My friend didn't care as it just left paint smear, but it dented the offender's front end very noticably!

people who park cars on the pavement so its difficult to walk on the walkway. probably not that innocuous and always strikes me it must be hell for a single parent with pram and young walking children to maneuvre round, plus the elderly having to walk out of their way thanks to some idiot's selfishness.
Should have said something to a friend yesterday when he parked on the pavement, but I think there was room to get around him. Anyway, next time i will point it out.
Anyway a pet peeve.

When I try to post on here and it goes to servelet

I was surprised to see that it's MANDATORY in some Australian car parks to back into a spot.

ugh I hate ppl who reverse into their parking spaces. The parking lot at Mr Veg's office is full of people who do that, drives me batty because after I've dropped him off I'm usually idling in the parking lot for 10 minutes waiting for a bunch of morons to drive in, turn around, line themselves up and atempt to reverse in at least twice. If you're a bad enough driver that you can't reverse OUT of a parking space, logic should tell you that reversing IN is not going to help you. I hate them all.

Why it's almost always better to back into a space than pull into it head-on.

n.b.: I never back into a space

but I always do the pull through a parallel space thing, it would be stupid not to.

It's cool to pull through if the lot is split up in 90º angles.

Not cool if the spaces are angled toward drivers approaching from a certain direction (so that if you pull through, you're facing oncoming traffic when you leave.)

I don't think I agree with that article at all, especially since the concept of 'difficulty' is subjective and not something that can be standardized. Take my example from earlier, where a girl who had no trouble backing out of spaces smashed into my friend's car when she tried to back into it.

Likewise, backing out of a space doesn't require perfection in your manuevering as much, as you're backing into open space, whereas it is confined in the latter scenario.

Finally, they do build rear view mirrors and teach the overhand steering technique for a reason!

I don't really think it's a big deal either way, but it seems pretty obvious to me that you're more likely to get into an accident while backing out of a spot into moving traffic than while backing into a spot where your only obstacles are parked cars.

If you visit FL, you'll learn that hitting inanimate objects is sort of a speciality our drivers have.

Don't know how innocuous it is. Finding out that you can't buy a weekly ticket starting on the next day when you live a bus ride away from where you can buy a ticket. You can only buy one starting on the present day. So you either need to buy a weekly ticket including a day you're already covered for or pay a separate fare to get to where you can buy the longer term pass.
Annoying, hope it only lasts until the main station ticket office gets a refit soon, rather than long term. Or if they've managed to outsource selling tickets during this period they get it together to sell them from a branch of the same shop local to where I live.

ia (probably rationally angry tho): non-compact cars that park in spaces marked "compact." i'll let you off the hook if you're a medium-size sedan or something, but i've seen hummers and trucks squeezing into compact spaces. that is some "dick move of the century" shit.

I never feel too bad about doing this because my 2001 Rav 4 is smaller than the Camry that was built on the same chassis
