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

Actually, one think that makes me IA, is when old women wheel their mothers around in a wheelchair, around clothes shops. Particularly the shops that sell clothes that are much younger than the woman pushing.

I know it's quite possible that the grandma is looking for stuff for the grandkids, but I've yet to see them actually with any clothes/items. (The worst case was one such pairing pusing into Claires Accessories.

I know, I am so cruel... It wouldn't matter if the aisles were big enough for everyone. They tend to fill them so the space between racks is approx 3 foot.

maybe grandma really wants a butterfly belly piercing

baby bjorn?

Yeah Mike, she was in a bjorn. Bus was super packed and her foot got smooshed.

:( I would have scolded all the seated motherfuckers who didn't give me a seat. Hmph. Poor baby.

Also people who try to circimvent rules.

No customer can drop off paperwork at our building cuz we're a call center on private property, so we do work for thousands of companies. They have to either mail or fax in.

Despite all sorts of warnings that it was private property, this dude tried to circumvent the process and sent HIS FRIEND to drop off paperwork for him.

He of course got denied entrance to the building, and the customer called back angry that we didn't let his friend into our private building, even though had he even made it in, he wouldn't have been able to drop the form off ANYWAY.

Ironically it was because someone pretty much insisted that I take their seat - with baby strapped to my chest, people so tight I couldn't see where her feet were and would have been better off on my feet. People had good intentions there at least.

Ilx dilemma - would you give up a seat to someone who supported hen fap

A couple days ago, a woman placed their five-year-old onto the bus, then started to wrestle their pushchair down while discussing something with a friend and getting the toddler into position.

At which point the bus left. With the five year old.

The people left decided that they actually needed the bus I was getting on, then realised they'd lost their 5yrold. At first,the driver refused to contact the other bus, until he realised what had happened and then did contact the depot with urgency.

The mother was furious with the driver who drove off, possibly understandibly but unfairly.

Not an IT, and nobody was IA, just a small tale.

my shuttle bus driver drives so fast my stomach goes into my mouth - I sometimes walk out of fear

"DBA" - what the shit? doing business as... liar!

the way andrew zimmern describes the food he's eating....hey baldino i dont care that those balls taste like grass and berries.

That dude seems ok but that show's premise annoys me

"hey, look at the crazy shit these foreigners eat!"

someone should eat him. "hmm he tastes vaguely like lard and grass"

oh man, there's an everyday carry blog I go to for epic lolz

the best is people with HANDGUNS

the epic lolz barely balance out the epic YOU FUCKIN DORK WHAT THE FUCK A FLASK AN A PINK HIGHLIGHTER GO FUCK YOURSELF

Most of the ones I've seen are mostly all black items and full of mini-flashlights and knives

I have never heard of the term til just now, but when I googled it, I realised it is every sysadmin/programmer/network architect I know. They all have at least a very expensive Leatherman, if not also the mini torches, and sometimes little tool kits.

Its a "thing"? Isnt it just "its practical cos its like, my job"?

Is this a guy thing, more to the point because dudes, women have done this "check out the shit i carry in my handbag" for years in magazines.

3" knives that cost $100 and have carbon-fiber handles, and lithium Surefire 'tactical' flashlights for signaling aircraft = i'm infuriated

OK yep definitely a guy thing.

yeah it's an unholy union of guys carrying crap around they don't actually need or use, spending tons of money on tools that never get used, and thinking "this is how i'll be ready in case ZoMbIeS" or whatever. I mean yeah it's innocuous, i don't care what's in somebody's pockets, but GARAGHAHAHH I DON'T CARE WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKETS!!!

Leathermans are awesome

I hate having shit in my pockets though. If they did one for purses, that would be lol

-receipt
-receipt
-expired coupons
-straw wrapper
-purse
-phone
-3 pens
-notepad
-checkbook
etc

people on a highway who are reaching congestion which is obviously affecting ALL LANES and immediately jump into the next lane AS IF THEY'VE FOUND THE MAGICAL NON-CONGESTED LANE.

similarly, the idiots who see a long line, then skip past it and walk to the front of it to see if perhaps they're letting people in and the 300 people in line just didn't happen to notice.

hahaha yeah bag contents for me are a disaster: reciept, reciept, receipt, atm slip, expired metlink cards x a dozen, sunglasses, a ranier wolfcastle as radioactiveman toy (!), mints, condom, panty liners, phone, ipod, oliver sacks book, portable usb hard drive.. oh and my wallet.

Kind of IA now that spoilers are part of the Tree of Life thread, weeks ahead of wide release for some of us.

I have an idea that could do away with receipts.

xp jeez at least the EDC dorks bother to take carefully composed photos of all their crap. just listing all the junk in your purse is literally killing me. ;)

-fucked up/missing id3 tags
-fucking around correcting fucked up id3 tags
-fucking it up
-itunes/winamp still fucking up recognising them after they're not fucked up

id3 tags would be the greatest thing ever if we'd all realised right at the start of digitising music

Jeff is the king of well organized id3 tags. He took an entire summer one year and got ours in order (we have loads of digital music). I teased him about it at the time, but damn it's really great and I think loving thoughts about him every time I set up an elaborate playlist made possible by properly tagged music files.

"loads" doesn't convey just how many songs Jeff fixed. Many years ago he put them on DVDs and I think it took up 7 or 8 of them.

the new ID4 tag convention is due so you will have to do them all over again or they wont play

-fucked up/missing id3 tags
-fucking around correcting fucked up id3 tags

i think i like being obsessive (anal) and squaring all my tags. it's kind of fun, and i've been doing it so long now that i've got a "system". worst thing are files that you can't really tag properly - foreign obscurities, old demos, that kind of thing.

I may have posted this upthread, or maybe someone else has, but I really hate it when people are walking backwards down the sidewalk as they chat with friends or say goodbye to friends or whatever and then act surprised when they bump into you. You're walking backwards, asshole! I could have been an open manhole. Be thankful.

By the way, children - especially my own - are the epitome of "innocuous things that make you irrationally angry."

will i be banned/permabanned if i make a thread exclusively of san te/neanderthal posts from this thread?

Oh, is neanderthal san te?

Man, that sentence really makes no sense.

I'm actually kevin spacey

You have a lot to answer for.

K-Pax wasn't my fault!

the hell it wasnt

fucking dumbshit neighbors who always park in front of our house instead of their own stupid house, so I have to park around the corner. which is fine except when you have to lug 5 huge bags of groceries.
harrumph.

or when neighboors park in front of their house on each side so two lane road becomes half a lane road

At least you can get yr groceries in a car? I have to walk 15 mins to the nearest supermarket and carry all the bags home on foot.

it's even worse when all of my servants have the day off and I have to put away the groceries myself. I don't know how people do it.

I hate when servants experiment on each other

I mean, I made the choice way back to never learn how to drive (deep-seated fear, tbh) and I've managed with it ok. But yeh sometimes it gets frustrating w/regards to shopping. I wish I could just wizz down to Bunnings and buy plants and potting mix or to Ikea to buy a chair, but I cant. Mind you that means I dont impulsively do such things so I dont waste money hah.
