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

three! he's just taken a third. after covering up the two empties in his bin with a sheet of paper.

Oooh I don't know who that guy is but he's making me angry.

Now I'm IA that I don't work in an office with Friday afternoon beer delivery.

beer at work is one of the worst ideas ever

he's doing you a favor

Let him get drunk and then ask him to do something complicated before 6.

in the last 5 years i have had exactly 1 work beer (which i took and drank at a party the day after!). so i reckon they owe me at least 249.

Ha, why 15?

that's just how many come in a box. 15 x 275ml (i just checked)

people offering me "free samples" at food stores. FRECK THAT! Nothing is free. I never accept them. Its awkward but I say "NO I DONT EAT SAMPLES" - give me the whole meal you dark virus, I do not wish for a tease. Plus, what kind of gross death did you belch onto that before tidying it up and prepping like a littel panda for me!

I just wonder who feels like a tiny plastic glass of warm white wine or a negligible morsel of something or other on a wooden stick while in the supermarket. So it doesn't make me IA. What does make me IA are people who put sheafs of business cards through the front door of the flats here. It's bad enough having to clear up the reams of fucking advertising litter spread over the hallway each evening, but having to fiddle around picking up these tiny fucking business cards makes me rage. I will find you and throw confetti all over your fucking living room.

and who stuck all those subscription forms in the cracks of magazines - bashtards! I hates it!

last week this grub was walking around handing out apple slices at trader joes. for all i know this hippy was a hobo off the street who just wiped his ass with his bare hands.

or with the apple slices!

People who absolutely do not understand deadlines and the sense of urgency that kinda sorta comes with them. "No, you can't change the publication that you approved (without really looking at) three days ago, because it went on the press this morning. Gosh, there's going to be a shitstorm of controversy because these changes can't happen? Oh, gosh, oh jeez. So sorry."

my daughter doesn't get deadlines either but I guess she's only three. But when she's four, she better learn.

free samples are great, what's wrong with you people

please, I beg you to stop eating them! think of the children!!!

I'm contributing to the elimination of free samples by accepting the free samples and then not buying the product.

You're welcome.

thank you - you will be richly rewarded for your heroic bravery in the next world

I'm down with samples, but I hate the crowds of seagull-people who go to Costco seemingly just to eat samples, like that's their cheapskate lunch...it grosses me out a little

Obviously the samples are a dessert after you eat one of their $2 hot dogs

ugh that cafeteria is the worst...Chez Diarrhea

Seagull-people! Hahaha

I know people who go to sam's club to eat samples as their breakfast

In bulk

Shopping websites that only show 4 - 10 items per page when there's about 100 to view, and don't have a 'view all' button. Worst is when you have to pick from a drop-down menu and it's still "see 12 per page" "see 16 per page" NO I WANT TO VIEW ALL, NOT CLICK "NEXT" 10 TIMES!

I mean I get IA at even having to click a 'view all' button at all so this enrages me. Just parade every single one of your goods before my eyes all at once, please.

Agreed kinder. Also, when you use Amazon's :highest rated" feature and due to a "computers can't think" failure it shows you things with one rating that is 5 stars - I guess they need "highest rated that people are actually using and rating in large numbers, not just the guy who is selling from his shetty site astroturfing himself"

Ha, you two remind me of this "Click to Zoom" image here.

Agggh!

maybe that is the actual size - maybe its a backpack for suriname toad babies

My brother told me he took a girl to do this as a date. I thought, good luck, buddy. But maybe he will luck out and find a gal who loves being a thrifty weirdo too, like my other brother did.

I guess I gross out VegemiteGrrl a little. When I lived in a town with a Costco, on days when I had a big-box shopping run to do, that would be my dinner. I never went there just for the samples though.

you dont gross me out WmC <3

I've noticed this, too. One woman in particular tried to horde five or six samples for herself because, she claimed, she had children elsewhere in the store. Even if she were telling the truth, it's still NAGL.

yeah the seagull-people hover for multiple samples, or line up in front of the potsticker table before theyre even out...it's pretty ugly

When you are waiting at a train platform where a train either goes to place A and terminates or goes to place A and then carries on to place B. You live at the place B so when trains say they're terminating at A you don't get on them. Then a B train comes you get on at it and 1 minute before you arrive at A they announce it's terminating there and you have to cross over to the other platform for a B train but now you've lost your seat and have to stand the rest of the way. If you'd have known it was going to do that you'd have waited at the first station until a B train came so you could sit down, it's not like you haven't been sitting down all day already. Oh wait.

This thing about free samples sounds so weird to me. The folks offering samples at our grocery stores may as well be trying to hand out Westboro pamphlets the way shoppers duck and cover. I usually take one just to be nice to the septuagenerian trapped behind the booth.

And I'm surprised because My People are usually more than willing to (A.) take something for free and (B.) especially if it's served on a stick.

Once I walked past a sample booth twice and took a sample each time and I felt kind of shameless, but now I know I have some way to go to join the ranks of the truly shameless

May you never achieve such depths

indeed! death to them. and greater death to the disgusting perfume sample strips that must be torn out yet still taint many adjoining pages with their foul stenchery. grarrrrr!!!!

omg yes. The first thing I do with my Vanity Fair is tear out all the perfume ads. HATE those fucking things.

sobriety despite significant spend and effort in attempting otherwise

oof. yeah darragh otm.

We always called that "vapor lock."

indeed! death to them. and greater death to the disgusting perfume sample strips that must be torn out yet still taint many adjoining pages with their foul stenchery. grarrrrr!!!!

Those things are impervious to death. Went through/threw out some 20-year-old issues of Rolling Stone recently, and they all stunk like a right-wing frat boy.

Sample ppl in grocrery shops make me a bit sad now, cos my housemate's dad, who is a skilled, middle aged AV expert, has had so much trouble getting work in recent years hes had to resort to being a sample hander-outer in Woolworths :( I just feel so bad for him.

Mind you it did mean we scored 2 boxes of free food the other week.

When people dress inappropriately for the weather. Yes, it is 58 and cloudy now, but it's going to be 70 and even if it weren't, you do not need a winter coat, scarf, and hat, you fucking dummy!

This is Florida winter in a nutshell. I walk around in shirtsleeves in 60 degree weather, but very few other people who've been here as long as I have (~ 25 years) do.
