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

Go go gadget not knowing the meme is over and derailing the thread /hi how ya doin ;_;

tbh it was getting a bit scratched-record ;P

just imagine if you end up in the 'i am not loving' thread

people with a full head of hair are making me ia atm

Across the road neighbors, part 947: 14 yo boy who has started dressing like a 'banger, who on weekends stands sentry at their driveway with that head-on-swivel waiting to be noticed thing that 'banger wannabes seem to do when they're not driving around in cars. He does this, like, for hours.
Granted his Mum is batshit crazy so I would probably hang outside too.
But it's so unnerving, like "AGh! No one is looking for you! Sit down! Do something! "

is that "irrational anger" or "i live across the road from a serial killer"

lol...well he does have that quality too, so

Does it count as ia if you tear your underpants and won't be home for nine hours?

/braggin 2011? ;P

giant blind pimple forming on my chin making me IC (irrationally crabby)

I'm 40 ffs, should not get zits.

what is a blind pimple?

one of those ones that're sore and you can feel forming under the skin but dont really erupt into a squeezy blob, just a red bump.

"bump" as in "bumps into walls"

I HATE THOSE FUCKING THINGS. Just had one on the tip of my nose; felt like I was bruising myself every time I tried to blow my nose.

i think if it's in such a place that you can't blow your nose without blinding pain then your anger is entirely rational

Good point.

one of those ones that're sore and you can feel forming under the skin but dont really erupt into a squeezy blob, just a red bump.

Fuck I've had something like that on my chin since January, like a hard bump under the skin, I've tried squeezing the fucker but that doesn't help, just makes it more sore. It's probably an ingrown hair or something.

Blind Pimple <------- band name or blues artist?

It's probably an ingrown hair or something.

"The basis cause of these types of pimples is not clearly understood yet. The generally understood reason is that it results on account of the imbalance in the body caused by hormones."

Something you want to share with us, Colonel?

LOL yeah I get these just before my period, so!

Ugh sorry for TMI there.

Ok, I don't even know if this is a thing that has ever happened more than once, but I'm standing right here at the bus stop and I'm PISSED OFF to see concrete that has been patched with asphalt.

It looks like cancer.

Also, stop signs in the same neighborhood that are mounted on different styles of metal pole.

when people talk about artists or whatever and they say "the man"

like "the man can do no wrong!" or "the man is a genius", "the man just DOES NOT release bad music"

fucking HATE this.

Also saying "Dylan" instead of Bob Dylan

wow. that's awful. LG: examples of a typical "the man" please. I'm imagining like, Clapton or something?

Van.

Also saying "Dylan" instead of Bob Dylan

They might be asking Dylan Moran if he'd like a cup of tea. That'd get very confusing.

any sort of auteur or legend figure. definitely gives the vibe that the person thinks part of the success is due to them being a man, even if that's not their intention.

I call him Moran (xp)

"Yer man" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "the man"

Oh yeah! I guess that term couldn't apply to women, huh? "She is the woman!"

"Yer man" is one of the things I am really too English to say but have started saying thanks to mr spacecadet. It is fun to say, though.

I found myself announcing "ah feck" to an otherwise empty flat the other week, and the very next day another board I read erupted into an equivalent of this very thread over English people saying "feck" (not prompted by me, unless they have a spycam in my living room)

People who have just seen the movie "I'm Still Here" and comment online as if it's not widely known (and admitted!) that it was a put-on.

lately in the office people have gotten into the habit of saying 'does that make sense?' after every bit of explanation

thanks, but i'll let you know if something doesn't make sense

Oh god

I do this all the time. It's some sort of weird thing I have where I'm trying to make sure I've made myself clear but it's really annoying and I'm trying to break myself of the habit.

thanks, but i'll let you know if something doesn't make sense

yeah, you might, but most people who aren't your superiors won't readily tell you that they don't understand something

I think it's a nicer way of saying DO YOU FOLLOW, YOU THICKIE? And as such, I can live with it. Lots of people are too embarrassed to admit when they don't follow (including me, sometimes).

xpost

I do that too. It's mostly me asking myself if what I said made sense. Like, "What the fuck did I just say? That's not even a sentence!"

I don't think I really do this at work btw. I tend to do it if I'm discussing opinion on stuff or theories I have or whatever and want to be sure that I'm making articulating my point properly.

I definitely don't do it because I think the people I'm speaking to aren't following me. If anything its because I doubt my own ability to explain things thoroughly sometimes.

haha yes, sort of like that

yeah I do it too, especially if I'm seeing that glazed over look in someone's eyes or they aren't giving me any of the usual tics that would tell me they understand. I like some eye contact, occasional nodding or some kind of verbal cue to say, 'yes, I know what you mean'...but then again people listen and take in info differently and sometimes I'm nervous that I sound like a condescending asshole, like 'This is information might be too much for a lower being such as yourself"

I do the "does this make sense?" thing all the time at work. You kind of have to say it (or something else that means the same thing) if you're explaining something somewhat technical to somebody and don't really know the level of their expertise.

yeah i completely understand the utility of it, but it seems like a lot of the time the phrase is just thrown in there after each step out of habit

and makes me irrationally angry

that makes sense, I guess

lol

do you understand, mr. ohida? do you understand?

ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.....no

American remakes of TV shows from other countries. just STOP it!

stoked for the debut of 'packed to the roddicks'

but I have a terrible crush on Elijah Wood, i sort of have to see Wilfred...sorry!!!
