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

God forbid anyone try to change anything!

making it better rather than making it CEASE WORKING ENTIRELY would seem ideal really

Whenever I read an interview and somebody says they find great sex to be a really awesome thing. No way, really?

lol

Maybe it's the amazement for some people that "great sex" actually exists?

I have the same with people saying they like "good food" though, so who am I to talk?

Interests:

Music: Nothing in particular, just whatever's good!

Translation guide posted elsewhere for middle america:

"I like all kinds of music!" just means "I like Dave Matthews Band"

Interests:

Music: Nothing in particular, just whatever drowns out the screaming inside my skull.

PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "REPLY" AND "REPLY ALL"

I WILL HUNT THEM DOWN.

There is a practice area-specific lawyers' list serv that I'm on and I swear 80% of those people are just incapable of figuring this out. Sometimes it's replying to the list serv instead of one person (when the original sender says things like "reply privately") but like two days ago somebody sent a fresh, new, confidential email meant for one lawyer to the whole list serv. I was like oh, thanks for this insider info about this case and also your opinions on why this lawyer is am asshole.

Haha. Can you tell me which email that is? I need to read those more often.

My favorite so far is the one where the lawyer was like "Shhhh! Please don't tell, but Lawyer X, a prominent figure the listserv, is going up against Lawyer Y, the head of the local chapter, in a case! Shhhh!" And Lawyer X is like, "Dude, I can read this, and it's not even correct."

i think it's a question of priorities. yes, everyone likes good food and great sex, but some people rank those things more highly on their lists of interests.

that applies to stuff people "hate" too. most people "hate" rude drivers, but i hate rude drivers with a blinding, spitting, frothing passion.

How innocuous is library theft? It makes me irrationally angry, anyway.
Perhaps rationally angry? I work in a library, so...

Oh yeah...happened at PCL at UT all the time. It is pretty lame.

I signed up for a new gym last week and didn't fill in the email/phone number bit even though it was 'required field' on the application;

Required field forms on internet sites that REQUIRE a mobile phone number. I don't have a mobile phone and so does that mean I'm not allowed to buy stuff from you, arseholes? Sometiems you can get away with typing in 10 zeroes, but sometimes they've got some 'smart' software that rejects non-real numbers, at which point I just give up.

In fairness when youre buying something that needs shipment you gotta give them SOME kind of contact info, because if the order goes wrong, how are they going to let you know if you fake our yr email and/or phone #?

(Ive even heard of people ordering on line and faking out EVERYTHING - including the delivery address. Then of course, they wonder where the hell their order has gone ...)

I don't mind asking for contact info, just don't make something REQUIRED if there's a decent chance the person doesn't have it

Get a Google Voice number if you're in the US, type that in, case solved.

This fucking bumper sticker.

I love my Google Voice Number so much, especially when my doctor's automated system calls my automated messaging system to confirm appointments.

WTF does that sticker even mean? "dont be grumpy"?

maybe meant to be sexist? shake your "tail" more, talk less?

Ew, didnt even think of that, thats worse.

when the water level in a toilet is too high and so you sit down and your penis touches the water

People who are entering a parking lot via a two way road and wait for someone to exit before they enter rather than just entering while the other exits.

It's a TWO-WAY ROAD, you will both fit! And waiting is not safer because you then increase the possibility that someone behind you that gets impatient might pass you and t-bone the person exiting...a vehicle which the person exiting couldn't see because of YOU!

Ugh...

Okay, this shouldn't make me angry, or I have no right to be angry...but I get annoyed when my neighbours w-fi is slow...

the problem with two way parking lot entrances is that lots of people don't realise they are two-way and just drive right in the middle of the two lanes, making me irrationally angry

the problem is people are morons and shitty drivers and don't know where the corners of their car are or whether they have room or not so they drive around with an extra 4-foot halo of anxiety and ARGGHH HULK SMASH GRRRRKRKRRR

luxury cars have RADAR for a bumper 8 feet from the driver's and they still have to 6-point out of the parking spaces at Target AUGHHGH *SPASM* *CONVULSIONS*

Haha.

I love those radars. My friend's Mini has it and besides being really useful, it is also humorously dramatic the way it goes from beep.... beep.... beep... to beep. beep. beep! BEEP! BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! It makes simple parallel parking seem like an adventure.

Okay, this shouldn't make me angry, or I have no right to be angry...but I get annoyed when my neighbours w-fi is slow...

lool

"when the water level in a toilet is too high and so you sit down and your penis touches the water"

for some of us thats EVERY toilet

a small price to pay for having a huge penis I suppose

i have to admit something

haha, nm no i don't

that and the urologist bills are higher

giant scratch on my glasses that I probably did last night, didn't notice until over lunch today

wanted to make an optometrist appt for next week since I also need an eye exam and new contacts, but I called at 1:10 and they closed at 1 on fridays

people who preface a question with "Question:"

destinyschild.mpg

worse: "quick question"

The neighbors' rehabbers getting pizza from Little Caesar's...then casually dumping the (underwhelming) leftovers on top of the trash can because they have no trash bags. So of course my dog eats it and he needs to lose weight.

you need to get your dog to post in the "Innocuous things that make you irrationally happy" thread

I think that Beavis & Butthead video that PP just posted would go in that thread

when the water level in a toilet is too high and so you sit down and your penis touches the water

Eeeuuuuuuwww! Never happened to me, but just imagining it... >shiver<

people that say "nice out" when you burp

Who says that? Those people are terrible people.

"nice out"? ... that doesnt even make sense, what the.

I want to get more into using twitter, but the only places I ever get tweetful thoughts are on the train and on the work toilet. And there's no signal there. This makes me irrationally angry. Tell a lie, there's signal on the train until it goes through a tunnel which it inevitably does whenever I go to hit 'send'.

Also: why are all the alarm tones that come with iPhone so bloody distressing? And why don't they switch off automatically after a while? I ask this because if I get up before my alarm goes off and have a shower, I'll be oblivious to the fact it's now driving my neighbour fucking mental at 7 in the morning.

The guard dog outside our house has quietened down now but it did have a 15 minute tantrum Saturday morning at some unholy hour. Three cheers to the lady across the road who happens to work at our local who strode across the street in her slippers to give the watchman what I assume was a good bollocking, because the barking stopped straight away.
Just now we were woken up by loud voices - a car full of lads had been pulled over by the police and they were just standing around outside the house with blue lights flashing into our window etc. I opened the door and told them all to get a move on. I love the fact I got to tell the police off - they were just standing there while the kids were bantering away with each other. It looked like a disco! Anyway, the fact I'm still up is making me ia.
Think this is all karma. Only the other week I was telling my mate to get over the fact he lives in a noisy area ('it's just life going on outside, ignore it' etc) and now i don't feel like I've slept a wink all week due to combination of heat and noise.

people who arrive at a movie on a Saturday night at about the time it is scheduled to start, or during previews, and make a disgusted look when they realize all of the primo seats are taken.
