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

yeah, I see yoru place in the Astros

Oh yeah SEE ALSO: kitchen warnings like "hot pan" and "right behind"!! Those things mean, "Stay where you are and don't make any sudden movements." They emphatically do not mean TURN AROUND REALLY FAST TO SEE WHAT I'M CARRYING.

I would always make the dadjoek "Hot stuff comin' through... and also I'm carrying scalding liquids"

a sign near my house warns walkers to use EXTREME CAUTION where the footpath goes to a sidewalk - as if the sidewalk has dragonso n it or something

Corey I don't know how to tell you this, but that's happening and countless restaurants all around the world right now and around the clock.

I admitted myself it was lame!

Knitting on the train during crowded rush hour traffic. What makes you think this is okay?

I do it jon and will continue forever as Jesus holds my hands

Well Jesus doesn't ride my route, so go for it I fuess.

He is in your heart always, and sometimes your liver

Knitting on the train during crowded rush hour traffic. What makes you think this is okay?

Woman was doing this across from me on the tube this morning.

However, I'm struggling to think of why this would be a problem?

When its a crowded train and she keeps elbowing people.

I was thinking sudden stopping, crowds of people, sharp objects?

I admitted myself it was lame!

Oh sorry. I guess I get off on publicly shaming you.

was a woman in front on me on a plane who was asked to put her knitting away during take-off and who couldn't see why she should.

annoyed this morning when the bloke 10ft in front of me insisted on using the zebra crossing in front of the only car in sight, causing it to brake quite sharply, rather than waiting 3 seconds for it to go past.

that woman who won't put her knitting away reminds me of: No Unauthorised Access

much fun waiting for the old lady argueing about how shes doesnt want to give her phone number at the checkout even tho it was for writing a check not phone spam

Women knitting in general makes me IA. But I probably shouldn't go into it as lots of people I genuinely like do it and they're always upset when I start talking about how it is a terrible terrible thing.

I'm ADHD and it would be very great if I could learn to knit for when I have to sit at meetings, but I'm a little afraid to ask (a) for instructions and (b) be the first dude sitting in a room clack-clacking away on a fucking headscarf

start with a slanket d00d

what is a fucking headscarf?

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much.....

I like knitting. I find it as relaxing as people say. I'm terrible at it, tho, and it makes my hands hurt so I only knit sporadically and I've never actually finished anything.

there was a young "hipster" woman knitting on the train last week but she didn't really seem to be taking up any more room than the people reading books. she was very well organized.

Jesus to hands - heal heal

The 9/11 thread reminded me of this.

I used to work with a guy who insisted that the urban legend of people putting LSD into salt shakers at restaurants was real, even though he
couldn't think of any specific confirmed instances of it happening. His comeback to me was, "Prove it didn't happen! You can't! You can't prove it didn't happen! You have no proof at all!" Setting aside the fact that he had no proof, he refused to accept that the reason I couldn't prove that salt wasn't laced with LSD was because you cannot prove a negative. Ultimately he resorted to "zings" the quality of higher education in the South b/c I went to college in North Carolina.

Everyone knows you put cocaine in saltshakers, what a dupe

i actually don't understand people who bring a bag or briefcase to work every day. are you working at home? for FREE?

Today's haul: lunch, snacks, roofing estimate papers, spare tie, cheat sheet from Monday's fantasy football draft, pay stub.

Well, when a man and a woman love each other very much.....

Well, when a ball of yarn and a knitting needle love each other very much.....

xpost -- misread that as "spare tire" and was all DAMN

who would waste coke like that it aint cheap

yeah I misread, coke in a shaker is for personal use, no salt

coke-on-a-waffle isnt so great but coke-on-banana NOW YOUR TALKIN

- taking your headphones out of your pocket and separating them only to discover you have your right headphone in your left hand and your left headphone in your right hand

very innocuous but it happens *every* time, hence the irrational anger

does it matter?

it does when you use headphones that hook around your ears

also I think it does matter, depending what you're listening to

THEY'RE BEHIND YOU

That they haven't decided words with periods in their name like ilxor.com are together, so when you doubleclick on one of the segments, it only highlights that part of the word on that side of the period.

I'm constantly hyperlinking web addresses and damn if I don't have to hold the mouse button down and scoot the cursor across the whole word rather than just double-clicking it. If it were a sentence, than there'd be a space after that period!

Glad I don't work for will.i.am.

--people who talk to themselves

a sign near my house warns walkers to use EXTREME CAUTION where the footpath goes to a sidewalk - as if the sidewalk has dragonso n it or something

Down the road from my place is a tree with a lowish branch over the footpath. There is a small metal warning sign nailed to the branch warning you to not hid your head on the branch. BUT IF YOU CAN SEE THE SIGN YOU CAN ALREADY SEE THE BRANCH AAAAARGH FUCKING FUCKITTY FUCK AAAARGH

Also, 'Baby on Board' car stickers, just while I'm on a roll of rage

xp

--people who talk to themselves, especially when they're your boss in a small office so that you're always being distracted from your work because you think they're giving you orders

"watch out for the special branch"
"I dont see whats so special about it"
"I've got a degree in computer science!"

I have one that PERFECTLY fits this thread. Tea. Or rather, the British attitude towards tea, that it is a substitute for all that is fun or exciting or progressive in life. Go out? Dance? Fuck? Scuba Dive? Experience things beyond your own net curtains? No, I'd rather have a lovely cup of tea, thanks. AAAAARGHHH

I think you're confusing "British people" with "Boy George" -

as an British born person I would have to say those things all come above cups of tea, except maybe scuba diving which made me claustrophobic.

I do like a nice cup of tea though...

It so super hot yesterday when I left work at close to 7:00 pm and I just wanted to sit on the train and read and go home and somebody sat next to me and touched me with their hot thighs and hot upper arm and I got so IA.

Thigh, just one. Touching me with both thighs would have been a whole different issue.
