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

oh yeah I had that shit this morning, and the install failed anyway.

having a review of mine edited so there is now an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence which was edited; consequently it now has the feel of being written by a 16-year-old on a creative writing course

I actually shouted FUCK YOU to an empty room when I read it earlier

When people depict rainbows with colours in the wrong order.

IVY B ROG

also, when people want some generic musical symbols to put on their comic/greetings card/poster and get the notes back to front

I don't know why this bugs me, I can't even really read music (no more than anyone else who had piano lessons age 6)

The new IE on our work computers that now doesn't work with any of the websites on which I need to fill out forms. This thing is constantly crashing.

also, when people want some generic musical symbols to put on their comic/greetings card/poster and get the notes back to front

THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER

also when they invent key signatures, like Bb/Fb

wtf

that is not so bad

My local bakery that sells out of 75% of its goods by mid-afternoon - cannot even get a loaf of bread in there. Understandable if it's a store that gets 1x delivery a day but guys you're a bakery, BAKE SOME MORE.

- horizontal scroll bars

oh yeah, horizontal scroll is just plain wrong!

I hate it when I decide to wear a jacket, and then after about 5-10 minutes I realise it's really warm and muggy, and I can't be bothered to turn back and take my jacket home, and will just have to live with the vague resentment I now feel toward my jacket.

I do that!!!

<3 jel

just get an imaginary jacket

When you are in a long line at a busy establishment and the cashier hands you back your credit card along with some frequent customer card or coupon, with the receipt wrapped around them both forcing you to make one of two choices - hold up the line while you untangle everything to put your card back in the proper location in your wallet/purse or just shove the whole wad in your pocket to get out of the way, only to forget where you put the card later and have a minor heart attack when you can't find it.

who the fuck does that

Happens at food places all the time it seems.

I do that all the time...but I have never lost a card. I usually carry a huge bag around with wallet in it and keep my essential cards squirreled away in another location or wallet or even pocket in case of wallet theft. Wallet has stuff like SS card, business cards. For more formal occasions like dinner, work related, I use the wallet. Sounds unprofessional but shit my dad and mom always used the "two wallet" solution.

I would get IA if the cashier handed each item back separately and gave the recipient time to put each in its final destination. Do your sorting out of the line, people are waiting!

DO YOU NOT HAVE SWIpE STATIOMNS INYOUR TOWNE!!

Gas stations and cheap ass fast food places have those, but not everwhere.

I'm not expecting waiting time nickn, I just get IA when the cashier takes the extra step of wrapping the receipt around my card!

Pay with cash, iirc

Not really any speedier because it seems too many cashiers have no idea how to make change.

pay with fucken bitcoins!

Then they hand you a receipt and put the change on top. You can wind up with about five change parcels after a trip to the shops.

My response to a receipt wrapped around a card is PA but I always calmly unwrap, put the receipt in the bag with the purchase and return the card to my wallet before leaving the 'transaction space'. I want the cashier to register 'don't do that'.

why dont you turn around, lower trou and ask that they place it in your ass cracke?

Wrapping everything together gives you a secure packet for stuffing in your shirt pocket, for later disposition.

Some stores have rules about handing the receipt to the customer or at least asking if they want to hold it or have it in the bag. Anyway, receipt and change preference Is as classic an argument as TP over or under, and there is no consensus on either.

'i want to hold the receipt and never let it go'

facebook sookin. on it, or about it.

*sooking

Just catching the inside hem of your trousers with a toe/toenail, and very slightly ripping the hem, so that each subsequent time you put on the trousers, the same thing happens, making the situation worse.

It's also one of those things that you only remember when it happens and instantly forget until the next time it happens.

i have a rip around the knee in my jeans that is like that.

my penis keeps catching it

It is because we're meant to believe his penis is long, do you see?

no

His knee is very high up.

The tip of his penis has a sharp and jagged keratin growth.

It got caught in his zipper and fitted perfectly.

YKK

i have trypophilia and seeing that rip in my knee makes me excited, tis all.

I dont belive you - dont dis the cause

lol ken

It bugs me when a person talks about a thing that the listener doesn't know about and the listener acts like he knows. Real life example:

A tells B: "My new Vibram Five Fingers came in today's Fed Ex delivery!"

B replies "Oh wow, that's terrific!"

A says, "Do you know what those are?"

B: "No! What are they?!"

Second example (specifics slightly modified):

B: "What are you doing this weekend?"

A: "I'm going to watch Salo on repeat for 48 hours."

B: "Oh fun!"

A: "Do you know Salo?"

B: "No, what channel is it on?"

The second is v v annoying, but I kind of feel like the first example is harmless enough, provided A is expressing excitement.

lets not forget those shoes are awful

I take those examples of the Person B getting excited because Person A is excited.

While overhearing that exchange I wasn't sure where to direct my annoyance, at the shoes or B's disinterest. You're right, it was pretty harmless, but her reaction made it obvious she wasn't listening or didn't really care. She could at least have said absently, "Oh, what's that?"

Its worse than sitting with bare buttocks on three pounds of red ground beef!

i think A is more annoying to assume people know what the fuck they're talking about.
