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

i don't understand why you think people who do things you disdain wouldn't take it personally? i was a bit offended by it myself.

haha my irrational anger towards those apps ebbs and flows and i'm def guilty of using them myself.

but the look of the ones from Hipstamatic© in particular really grate on me for some reason, as does the way it automatically makes an album for people called "prints from my Hipstamatic" IF IT COMES FROM YOUR PHONE AND LIVES ON THE INTERNET, IT IS NOT A "PRINT"

Because saying you find an endlessly overused, seen everywhere cliche of a thing isnt something to take personally? It'd be no different than saying "I'm sick of comic sans" or "I'm sick of autotune". It was in no way aimed at anyone I know personally - I wrote it after seeing 3 tumblr blogs in a row full of fuzzy, boring, vignetted images. I mean they all looked the same and if you took the filter off the pics on their own would have been bland as crap. Its not my fault if people want to think I'm dissing them.

That said, one friennd (4ngelica) gave a good reason WHY she uses it - her iphone's pics look crummy without it - and shes the only person I know personally who does use it a lot. And she didnt get offended (the people who did, weirdly, were good photographers who dont use the effect really, which is why I thought it odd)

This one's for you, Trayce.

Haha :D

pics look crummy without it

well this is why i do it, and i did get narky because i did feel like i was being dissed even though i know it wasn't personal. anyway it's irrelevant and i'm p sick of feeling like everything i do is shit and a target of ridicule

Jim I've never seen you post a hipstermatic pic fwiw. *shrug*. Ive never seen you post pics!

Geez I'd hardly write something like that intentionally trying to offend my actual friends reading it, im not that much of an arse. Mostly.

yeah look i know that, bad timing & all i guess

Soz, fwiw then.

God its not like my stupid attempts at lolphotos are much good either haw.

i hated those things until i started using instagram, now i'm a walking digital hipster

most of my vignette pics are of my cats anyway, not sure why it would be that terrible if anyone thought they sucked (the pix not the cats obv)

- when you walk away from your desk for 30 sec and someone takes your chair

(i am kneeling atm)

Someone took your chair!? Where you work, a primary school?

kneeling angrily tersely moodily

trayce i think those apps give some people a feeling of expressing their creativity

it is a bit like the photo equivalent of a reverb on the voice, makes the flaws/boringness less glaring

Someone took your chair!? Where you work, a primary school?

Interesting you should say that because what I have been relegated to is basically a primary school chair. The THIEF is a mate so I'm letting it slide THIS TIME.

surely that makes it worse.

it is a bit like the photo equivalent of a reverb on the voice, makes the flaws/boringness less glaring

Well when you put it that way sure, it makes sense. I was raarghhing at a certain overall photographic style too, I think. Not just the filters but these endless pics of chicks standing in long grass/chicks staring out of windows/cats on window sills/dudes standing moodily in rainy alleways/dudes looking sad.

/drops of water/cloud formations/lattes on a 45 degree angle

needs to be used for nudie pix imo

Now that I could get behind.

Or in front of, perhaps.

/cox on a 45 degree angle xp

Wait that makes it sound like I want to pose for them ARGH NO NO STOP ABORT.

i like photos of almost anything except for food right before you ate it

rate my hipstamatic poo

I, too, enjoy photos of food only after it's been eaten.

hah guess we made
the same joke

I just hate the Facebook auto-tagging with Hipstamatic where its always "Taken from my Hipstamatic" instead of just posting yer photo without the fanfare.
A friend of mine takes and posts LOTS of photos with it and it got real old, real quick.

Instamatic i like to play with sometimes bc the filters make my face not look all red and like said upthread, make boring things look kinda cool sometimes.

When people say "I would have loved to have done" something I stab them.

Also photos of /cute chicks reading books/ and then you look and they're reading fucking HARRY POTTER arrrrgh

many xp

When people say "I would have loved to have done" something I stab them.

And in this everchanging world in which we live in.

p sure that's "if this ever-changing world in which we're living"

I prefer my version.

me too tbh

coz it makes macca look like a really bad writer of lyrics, oh wait

hahah exactly.

to boldly go, etc

ha yeah i noticed that

i mean bless 'im for working around it but jesus aitch

graphic design that uses cyrillic letters to 'spell' english words when the subject is

Stinking people on public transport, there really is no need.
Water and soap is not that expensive!

Yeah, do not stink people on public transport. Wash them if you have to.
