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

I'm about 80% certain Je55e is talking about the guy I work with that does that type of shit all the time, complete with the bowed head and extended hand.

It's like that Far Side cartoon with the martian choosing its restroom based on two indecipherable graphics on the doors.

This is an eternal pet peeve of mine. Last night I was at a sushi place I'd never been before, and there was that awkward hesitation while I squinted to discern if the Post-It-size image on the door was a samurai or a geisha.

The visual clues help, but still, BOTH OF THESE NAMES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MALES.

"Chuck" is associated w/ women?

There's a Richie Rich comic with that plot device: a cousin with long hair (it was the late 60s) named "Marion" who turns out to be a boy.

We've griped about this before, but it's most exasperating when the guy makes a production of his chivalry, especially when he just will not take no for an answer. . . . Also especially if he is getting in others' way while doing it

This guy (generic) makes boarding a train from a crowded platform a nightmare, especially when he makes the production of letting a woman on before him, while meanwhile, behind him, are ten other women or a person with a disability or an elder trying frantically to get past this bozo and grab a seat while they still can.

Also LOL at people still using jokes that were tired when found in fifty year old Richie Rich comics.

yeh, those door signs are starting to make me irrationally angry, not b/c they're potentially confusing so much as b/c it is such a pointless, labored "joke"

(some things hit too close to home i guess)

Not to mention that the mayor was named MARION BARRY.

lol

Not to mention that Marion Berry is a MAN.

ia: the omnipresent redhead bebe model (cintia dicker is her name). something about her face is really off-putting to me. i think they're phasing her out -- there's a second model in the ad now.

i hate being negative about women's looks; i just think cintia dicker looks like a mouthbreathing idiot.

I'm having kind of a hard time coping with the idea that her name is "Cintia Dicker."

sounds like a euphemism for fem masturbation..

MARRIED

(that was re marion barry/berry)

Okay, um, Chuck Barris-- would you want to Marry, Fuck, or Bury??

when you're eating a chocolate chip cookie, one of the crispy ones, and one of the chocolate chips falls out of its precarious little hole and onto the floor.

slow-moving/methodical ppl who narrate everything they're doing to disguise their slowness, making it seem even slower

"okay...so let me get thaat for you..,,and okay I'll just go over here and grabthis other thibg......" zzzz

Well, blow me down.

when you're eating a chocolate chip cookie, one of the crispy ones, and one of the chocolate chips falls out of its precarious little hole and onto the floor.

They are too small to spank, so I find myself losing my temper and saying "I WISH YOU HAD BEEN BORN BUTTERSCOTCH!!". I know, I'm going to hell...

jaymc, I wasn't really expecting anyone to know who the retired Representative from Arkansas' First District was.

you dont stare at an ass you oogle

oogle plus

Oogle must be the word for when you glance down at someone's id badge while in line at Subway and go back to the office to find their Facebook.

When I get out of the train at the wrong end of the platform, and have to walk all the way back down to get to the exit.

Piccadilly Line trains that terminate at Northfields, on a Sunday afternoon, when it's freezing.

I hate that first one, especially when I try to figure out the right car to board so I will alight at my exit and guess wrong. Womp womp.

I get IA when spotify does not have all songs ever recorded

Having a tasty morsel or bite of food fall to the floor instead of my mouth, ugh!!!! Especially when I am starving or looking forward to a tasty morsel or bite of food.

I always feel like I would have felt more fulfilled if the one, last bite of chicken that fell to the ground had been consumed.

what, you guys won't eat something that's fallen on the floor? Five second rule

I opened my curtains this morning with a vigorous and exuberant sweep, as of one glad to meet the day and all the potential it holds, and the entire curtain came off the rail sending little plastic curtain hooks flying everywhere.

Sour displeasure rather than IA I guess although I did immediately and loudly go FUCK!

You mean as in "shout the word loudly" right?

yes, ok.

I wish I had voted. I never vote in any of these things and then always regret it.

I made you IA? Sorry? :/

Don't worry about it, it was innocuous/irrational.

I'm not good at choosing favorites when it comes to these sort of lists. Either I stress about ranking things too much or forget about it and then throw together some BS list last minute that I'm not really happy with. I know people who live for ranking stuff and making these sort of lists but I'm just not one of them but then I read the threads and I wish I had. Yeah, I guess that is sort of annoying.

I look back on every one of my ballots cast in an ilx poll (except my Led Zeppelin ballot) and think "lol wtf was I on?" but am happy to keep voting.

I hope it doesn't make you IA that I laughed pretty hard at this.

I just put it back up! Had I seen your post while I was actually perched on the chair threading the fuckers back on, I would have been pretty f'ing IA, but now I'm back down it's all smiles.

THose shit-eating pass-the-buck things you get at the start of every DVD: "The views expressed in interviews blah blah blah do not represent the views of Paramount the psychopathic money-making entity blah blah we have no responsibilities only rights fuck you."

Oh, I don't mind this at all - it's when it's the sixth person in a row who goes "I didn't realise this was happening" when a poll's nomination and voting threads have been being constantly bumped to the top of the boards for around a month, that's when I get IA.

yeah, that's a whole nother GAAAAAHHHHH

That buxom has lost its early meaning and is now essentially a euphemism for busty

When orthopedists spell it "orthopaedic."

That's just orthodox British spelling, though, no?
