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

Haha, I was SURE that your post was by Latham Green, but I was wrong.

They LOVE the Furminator! They beg for it when they see it.

Also, one cat is too fat to lick her butt, so every morning I scrub her catgina, and she licks and gnaws at her front paws in ecstacy (like when a you scratch a dog's ear and its back leg goes crazy).

can't remember the last time i was overtaken, i think 2002?

at weekends i stroll with mates or whatever but on work commute i power along at a wild pace. that said a guy fucking left me for dead a few weeks back, it was like i was walking through glue in comparison. a chastening experience.

this just made me IA

Innocuous things that make you irrationally angry... in my catgina?

She's an awesome (and weird) cat and I'm not sure what's up with her physiology, but that's how we live, and we're happy.

xp LOL

I scrub her catgina, and she licks and gnaws at her front paws in ecstacy

endless sorrow

now I have Mark McGrath in my head singing "Every morning//I scrub her catgina/And she gnaws her paws in ecstasy"

IT IS NEVER OK TO BLARE R O C K in the USE BY JOHN COUGAR MELLANCAMP AT WORK!

USA

jesse I am super glad the cat box is working well for your family of fuzzies!

Thanks. Do you remember where we first discussed this?? Also, will you come over and smell my apartment? Bring your husband. I'll cook you dinner.

wash yoru hands first

And scrub your catgina lest Jesse do it for you.

Oh my geez. Tears.

when I'm doing copy-pasting and when I go over to paste something in another document I hit ctrl-c instead of ctrl-v

even worse when doing cut and paste

Wow. It's like when you can't find your glasses and you've been wearing them the whole time.

peter, I agree.

My daily IA: FUCKING HANGERS.

They're just--everywhere, all the time, multiplying, getting all tangled up, and they're always the crappy dry cleaning ones and never, like, a GOOD hanger, and aaaaaagh I just get the RAGE!

And my goddamn dry cleaner switched from pants hangers that had a solid tube on the bottom edge to these MOTHERFUCKING SHIT little pieces of crap paper that are half-assedly folded into a "V" shape and stuck via crap little fucking notches onto the bottom of a goddman regular wire shithanger FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

^^^^^ - just stocked up on not-good but not-drycleaner hangers due to this rage

Hahaha shithangers.

When we last moved, I tossed all our shithangers and replaced them w/ wooden ones from Bed Butt and Beyond. They were pretty cheap but I feel like Bill Gates whenever I interact with my closet.

I keep a small stash of drycleaner shithangers to take things to the cleaners but it is a one for one exchange so it says under control.

Yeah the thing is I keep taking the shithangers back to the drycleaner but there still seems to be EXPONENTIAL MOTHERFUCKING EXPANSION of the shithanger population 'round these parts. It defies standard mathematics and demands some quantum explanation ffs.

Drycleaner gets my drycleaning shoved into plastic bags. Bad form? (as well as missed opportunity to lose the shithangers)?

My dry cleaner separates them and stuffs them into labeled, cinched bags, so I just bring them in in a big wad.

Lady presumably at end of a line standing three feet behind everyone else so I can't tell if she's actually in line.

Arrrgh that happened to me last night - I went up to the "leave prescriptions here" counter at the back of the pharmacy and there are 2 ppl just kind of... standing there, not right up at the counter. staring off into space. Getting in the way. I walked right past them and up to the counter and one lady gave me a funny look, and when the pharm came over and said "next?" she kind of eyed me and snapped "ME".

Bitch, if you were waiting, make it obvious, jhesus.

Like they were just standing in the aisle, nowhere near the actual counter!?

Oh man, people who can't queue properly piss me the fuck off. That's my main source of IA I reckon.

Jesse, do you have a chimney? Has it been windy? Might explain some of the dust.

ok this is definitel irrationally angry cuz it's my problem really - as someone who works from home, housemates unexpectedly being at home during the day = AARGH. have to close my door while i work, hate the sounds of them having a DAY OFF while i have to work, don't feel like i can wander around and eg stand idly in front of the fridge hacking at lumps of cheese as a form of procrastination

I can see how that's annoying, although you're right, technically you have no right to be angry about it. I live with my girlfriend, who has a keen sense of knowing the exact moment when I've figured out the structure of the sentence I wish to write. She ceases these opportunities to come in and ask me if I want a cup of tea. How dare she! ARRRGH!!

"people", basically

today it was especially annoying as i actually heard both of them leave at the times they normally leave for work - then i went for a run, then 5 minutes after i get back (still completely sodden and see-through and dying) i hear ONE OF THEM COME BACK, WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHY IS THIS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK!

people who exist, near me

i whole-heartedly agree

old people who use their age to elevate their sense of entitlement. anyone who has an elevated sense of entitlement makes me angry, but old people who tsk and scold people just for maybe hurrying past them in a supermarket or something really really annoy me.

oh wait are you being sarcastic?! i kind of mean it

depends what kind of old person. fierce grumpy old ladies who tsk and scold people you're already annoyed by but too polite to scold yourself = the best people

not sarcastic in the slightest!

lex very otm today.

when someone (journalist/commentator/presenter/whoever) says "there's only one word to describe [x]" followed by a really crap word, i silently rage.

even if it's a perfectly decent word i get pretty pissed off. only one word? really? how fucking lazy are you?

people who add you on facebook and with whom you have 32 friends in common, but they refuse to have a picture of themselves anywhere on their page. So you accept, just to see if you can dig up anything about who they are, and end up with a complete random in your friends' list.

there's only one word to really describe that situation: "quit"

No chimney, and windows have been closed most of the summer.

Part of the problem may be that I moved from a really, really dark apartment to one with loads of light, so now I'm seeing a lot of the dust I didn't before, but that is definitely not the whole reason. I'm hoping that it's all post-moving dust that keeps getting coughed up from furniture, and I'll gain the upper hand soon.

IA re lines: People who don't get the extremely sensible concept of A SINGLE LINE leading to multiple registers (or clerks, or whatever). Especially when there is already A SINGLE LINE formed, and those people try to create a new one.

^ death is too good for these people

I actually just gave some one a scarcastic lol! here but they probably were unaware of the sarcasm - which is as I inteneded it

I resemble this remark, actually. (But I do have some really good reasons to not have any publicly viewable pictures of myself up on my page.)
