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

Those kind are actually BETTER than the ones that you tear open in a little trapezoid-shaped trap door and have to try to stick down, only the whole lid flexes when you put pressure on it, so by pushing too hard you end up over-flowing your cup of coffee and getting near-boiling liquid all over your hand/lap.

YES!! Those are a lot worse. Hate that.

I have a long nose and have to look straight up into the air if I want to finish a drink out of something like that. Not good when I'm driving.

get one thermos

When you have to ask someone 20 times to send you the photo they took on their phone.

I call bullshit on "I don't want to e-mail the picture off my iphone because it will go to my work email address". Even if you can't add more email addys to your iphone (I dunno, can you e-mail pics to different addys?), choosing not to e-mail a pic to yourself because it will end up in your work e-mail account is lame.

Am I right or wrong?

You're incomprehensible.

well someone must have an iphone and understand that half of the problem

I can send photos from four addresses on my iPhone. Probably more if I wanted.

My work email, however, ain't one of them.

If theyre smart theyd have their personal email setup as well as work email, so you can pick which to use.

so ur friend is being kind of lame. but maybe rightfully paranoid abt what they send thru work email. workplaces can be nosy, dude.

get them to put it on flickr or photobucket instead?

a part of my friend being lame is that he doesn't seem to want to e-mail the photo at all. he says he has to plug his iphone into his home computer and take the photos off that way. this just seems like a really lame way to do it when you could technically e-mail a photo just minutes after taking it.

but nooooo. I have to wait over a week and keep asking him nicely for the photo

and yes he has internet on his iphone.

there's one photo that I started asking for over a year ago.

maybe he feels like you guys don't talk enough and hoarding your pictures is the only way he can guarantee that you will make time for him

actually that is OTM.

but that is extremely lame of him. I hang out with him more than any other friend of mine. I shouldn't have to hang out with him two days in a row or whatever just to get him to budge. this is a continual problem with him. i'm tired of this attitude. it's fucked up. friends aren't supposed to be all "you haven't scratched my back recently so I'm going to hoard the photos you want". all I'm asking for is a damn photo, not his liver.

all I'm asking for is a damn photo, not his liver.

new ILE board description?

kick his fuckin' ass bro

maybe you should ask for his liver instead; you could then resell it and pay someone more forthcoming to take pictures of you

he's the kind of guy that is always trying to get me to hang out or go on a cruise or a roadtrip. it's too hard to keep up with him. and it becomes my fault when we don't hang out LAMMMMMMEEE

Have you considered having him use your phone to take pictures, or perhaps to carry a camera? Obviously this person does not want to take pictures for you.

god, he probably hasn't fucking moved out of his parent's house yet because he's waiting for me to say I'll come live with him

What's so special about this particular picture of you?

why am i even going here.

xp it's not just about the photo. it's about everything.
he doesn't mind taking pictures at all.
he's just a big ass about giving them to me after he has taken them.

It's a picture of me arm wrestling a famous wrestler.

you just keep unfolding like a flower, CaptainLorax

The transaction is that he is taking a picture FOR YOU

If it never makes it to you, then he does mind completing this transaction, imo.

This is kind of like saying I will come over to your house and drink beers with you.

Then I buy some beers, go straight home, put them in my own fridge, and never come over.

maybe he is using the pictures as part of a ritual and is afraid that giving copies of them to you will diminish their efficacy

a cruise?

I told him that if I would go on a cruise:
1) I would want to go with more people than just him
2) And preferably people that know how to party (my friend doesn't party)

Then he got all philosophical and said things like "when you grow up, you are going to learn that you can have fun without partying"

anyways I just spoke to him on the phone and got real serious when I asked for the picture this time.

was he gazing into your eyes when he said this, possibly leaning in towards you a little bit? because based on everything you're saying it really seems like your friend desperately wants to bone you and start a family

ehhh, he is real damn sensitive but I think he's too obese to be gay

Was this a Disney cruise?

too obese to be gay

DOES NOT COMPUTE

i dunno what cruise he wants to go on. i invited him on a cruise with my extended family a few years ago because we had an extra ticket. he's been on at least 7 cruises.

"Too obese to be gay".

So those Christians are right, there is a way to fix homo. Get fat.

I think he's too obese to be gay

dude don't ever change, you are amazing

Maybe even a little chubby.

i mean, sure he might be gay. but if he is gay he's extremely closeted and looks at girls a lot

do bisexuals exist or is that an urban myth?

here's what you do. ask him if he'd like to meet up for coffee tomorrow morning. when he gets there, order some coffee and sit down with him. tell him that you've been thinking for a while now about how he'd be a great roommate, and then ask if he wouldn't like to maybe move out of his parents house and into an apartment with you. then, if he says yes, volunteer to help him move. then, on the big day, after you guys have loaded up the last of his boxes into the truck and he walks over to give his parents a big farewell hug, stop them and say, "hey, do you guys mind if i get a picture of this moment?" and then ask to borrow his iphone. then, once he enters the passcode and hands it over to you -- and this is key, don't forget this final step -- abscond with the iphone and retrieve the photograph from it

poster of the day award goes to you, lorax

lorax, i mean, this: http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1276&bih=647&site=search&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=chubby+bear+gay&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=

NSFW NSFW NSFW

so maybe he's just a big gay selfish bear?

i thought the gay bear guys were less selfish

I thought fat people were, like, jolly and stuff

Yeah Lorax it sort of sound like he's witholding the photos as a bargaining tool, like he wants more from you...or has a crush on you, who knows.

When Mr Veg and I got married in Reno there was a Nevada Bears convention AND a Junior Baseball Tournament group all staying in the same hotel on the same day.
I remember standing in an elevator with a massive bear & his twinky-looking boy and 2 young teenage boys in full baseball outfits.
Hi-fives to the booking staff, it was bizarroworld there all day long lol

VegemiteGrrl, that story about the elevator is one of the funniest things i've imagined in a while.

I know right? Add to that Mr Veg is a pretty big dude himself, and his best friend is gay with a twink fetish and it was priceless lols the whole weekend
