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

i came here to post "baby corn"

What, like "Muppet Babies" kind of angry?

'oh hai i am a recruiter wanting to give you some work! I don't have a specific job right now but are you available? No? When will you be available? Really? Wonderful. OH BY THE WAY AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT JUST COMPLETELY OUT OF THE BLUE DO YOU HAVE ANY VACANCIES AT YOUR COMPANY SO I CAN BE A SNEAKY BASTARD AND PUSH MY WAY IN THERE?????? No? k thx bye <click>'

Recruiters are scumbags.

yes, and you missed out the "do you have any colleagues/friends that may be interested?"

1) (Colleagues) Yes, I like them so much, I'd like them to leave where I work...

2) (Friends) Yes, because all my friends have the same job and skill set as me that's why they are my friends...

People who make tea/coffee really loudly by clunking/chiming the spoon while stirring for longer than is necessary.
Makes me want to smash the whole place up >:(

People who stir their tea/coffee and then tap out a tune on the rim of the cup with the spoon. Also people who combine this with stirring their tea between every other mouthful - YOU ONLY NEED TO STIR THAT SHIT ONCE YOU FUCKER

I can just imagine Hitler stirring his coffee and then tapping out the first few bars of the H0rst We55el song.

To be honest, every think makes me irrationally justifiably angry these days.

Every think? Everything, sorry!

Having been donated a phone for a campaign I'm involved in , but the phone has a password that isn't known & 350 numbers in the phone memory to get rid of. If I go to delete all contacts it asks for the password.
I can wade through this slowly deleting manually, but it will take time and may cause RSI.

& then I'll have the possibility that a bitch who is making being in this campaign a pain will demand the phone be handed over to somebody else. I don't know how labour breaks down so I get to do most of the work and she thinks she can give me orders. Apparently to lighten my load instead of taking anything else on she wants me to hand over the newslist to her and show her how to do it. I guess the word fragging only applies to people of recognised higher rank? Not just the pushy?

& I should point out doing updates for the newslist is something I enjoy doing.

Search online for the phone model, there might be a factory reset code for it that just wipes the whole thing. Much easier, imo.

people with immense umbrellas, who walk slowly, and it is barely even raining, you make me IA. gfy.

People who can't learn postal abbreviations.

Alabama is AL, not AB. Alaska is AK, not AL. Arkansas is AR, not AK. And Arizona is AZ, not AR.

Just thought of this after the Associated Press just sent me 20 pressers with an ARIZONA dateline.

God help those who live in the "M" states.

When people ask for my address to send me stuff for work -- especially when they don't already know that I work on a Calif. magazine from Miss. -- I always try to take away their opportunity to fuck it up by spelling the state abbreviation instead of saying "Mississippi." I imagine there's more mail intended for Minnesota but misdelivered to MS than the other way around, though.

this ad is making me so fucking furious

Or em-eye-crooked letter-crooked letter- ouri.

Whiney do you seriously need to shit on absolutely everything?

There should be a law about how tall you are allowed to be before you are allowed to carry an umbrella. They don't give a hoot about your eyes.

I wish Louisiana's postal abbreviation were not LA.

Thankfully I almost never refer to Louisiana without also referring to New Orleans, so I have "NOLA" at my disposal.

Seems like one of the states got to change theirs.

Nebraska went from NB to NE.

I worked on pamphlets and stuff about workers' rights for an organization in NOLA. I sometimes wrote about rights provided under "LA law." I thought that was funny.

Where I'm from, those letters mean "Lower Arkansas".

people who are proud of their ignorance

Couldn't find this thread earlier to say thanks. Didn't even need model since Samsung appears to have 2 Universal reset codes. Possibly a little dangerous, but hopefully too random a sequence to duplicate accidentally.
Only drag was it reset to Polish the language of original sale/manufacture & I had to work out what the reset to English language was. Didn't take too long though.

People who shorten names like Gary, Larry etc to "Gar" or "Lar"...with an American accent so it sounds more like "Gair" or "Lair"

dunno why, but it drives me bananas

gary should be shortened to gagz as any fule kno

gaz obv

GAZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MATE

dying here

Why do school teachers take a gigantic knot of teenagers onto public transport DURING PEAK HOUR. WHY DO THEY DO THIS. Can they not wait even til 9.30? I hate my tram suddenly filling with 25 shrieking, babbling private school ditzheads who like omg like wont shut up, like you know, she goes like omg like you know?

gonna call the next gary i meet gagz and see what transpires xpost

report back. I will still be crying laughing over here

also: you could try GAZBAGS and see what happens

Messageboard posts that are unintelligible due to lack of punctuation. I guess this is a byproduct of smartphones and wanting to get by with as few keystrokes as possible...? I dunno.

THIS

but we are approving 'gagz' as a nickname, via electricsound

YES

Renewing my ia at people who refer to Apple products like they're people. Lost count of the number of times I've seen the phrase 'I have ordered ipad 2' today. WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. PEOPLE.

That is referring to it as a noun, not a person.

If you called your ipad Fred you could say 'I have ordered Fred', otherwise it's a quantifiable object and requires and indefinite (or definite) article.

Likewise, people who name their computers although I assume that's half of ILX right there.
