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

I dont mind the chirp at all. the other noises annoy me a little though. like my stupid nazi car doesnt chirp it goes 'bonk'. and our other car beeps the horn and its MF LOUD

i used to work in an underground car lot. when a loud car would drive in it set off ALL the car alarms and of course their owners couldnt hear them because they were above ground somewhere. that's some echoing deafening shit.

Yeah, and the assumption that an Officer O'Leary walking his beat is going to drop his doughnuts and go running after a car alarm sounding a block away.

First time I started that nazi car, I swear I heard the Macintosh startup sound.

are you guys impugning all modern german things as nazi

well i'm pretty sensitive to people complaining about cars. I drive a Crown Vic and the thing's been keyed many times, the doors have been kicked in, people have put beer bottles under the tires, etc. pretty much the most cowardly shit, I'm not really a "man code" guy but beating the shit out of someone's car because you don't like it is a pretty clear violation

people are abusing your car because it's a cop car

I mean, they are totally dicks, but this is why, not because people are dicks to cars in general

yeah I know that's the reason, just saying I've dealt with a lot of "I hate your car!" and "You shouldn't be allowed to drive that" so I guess I just find complaining about other people's cars obnoxious in general

can we complain about h2 vehicles and cadillac escalades

can we complain about U2

you can complain but please don't damage them if you see them on the street

are you guys impugning all modern german things as nazi

"Auf, auf. Can you make it go 'cherp' for me one more time?"

still, pretty bad

gonna refer to anything that existed in your state pre-1960s that is still there as "segregationist"

Those poor oppressed Volkswagens

its a nazi car, dude:

In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a Volkswagen (literally, "people's car" in German, pronounced [ˈfɔlksvaːɡən]). The epithet Volks- literally, "people's-" had been previously applied to other Nazi sponsored consumer goods such as the Volksempfänger ("people's radio"). Hitler required a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph). The "People's Car" would be available to citizens of the Third Reich through a savings scheme, or Sparkarte (savings booklet),[12] at 990 Reichsmark, about the price of a small motorcycle (an average income being around 32RM a week).

nazi porsches

It blows my mind that there is someone to whom it is news that the VW was literally the actual Nazi car.

btw, if you ever come to my state and the doors lock around you and "Dixie" starts playing, feel free to call it every ugly name in the book.

It's not news to me! It's just that there were a lot of things that had origins in germany of that time and it seems kind of nasty to keep calling it the nazi car.

do you have a real nazi bug or is it one of the post-90s new era ones?

I guess if you have a real air-cooled, rear-engined beetle then I will let you call it that. Only if you put some swastikas in the glove compartment or something.

sorry just being innocuously angry at "nazi car", lol

you all are going to feel guilty for critiquing my word choice when I fall asleep in this car after parking it in the garage with the motor running.

can swastikas from the 21st century be considered nazi?

i think its fair to say if hitler designed and commissioned something then it will always be nazi.

"herbie goes to nuremberg"

great rally cars tbf

you didn't answer if it was a legit bug or if it was neu-style

It's the very same bug that Hitler was killed in.

Herbie was actually a bug inhabited by the soul of a whimsical nazi, iirc

The Soul of a Whimsical Nazi was the original title for Station to Station.

still had some speed in the glovebox iirc

The Olympic rings and torch relay are nazi-founded, as well. Only learned that one the other day tbh.

- nosy old prune at the table next to us at lunch tapped mum on the shoulder and told her to tell my Dad to use a napkin/knife & fork. (Dad was eating a club sandwich cut into small triangles with his hands & not making a mess at all so lord knows what was up her shirt)
Mum told her to mind her own business.

Haha good on your mum. Who the shit does that? No, I know who - nosey old CWA bats who have nothing better to do.

Who eats a club sandwich with cutlery anyway!?

LOL yes

Ha speaking of irrational anger, my dad HATES that show bcz of mrs bucket. Hates it. Yells at the tv. So funny.

I adore that show

Any opinion based on wishful thinking rather than observed reality.

You don't think Texas is going to go blue any time soon either, amirite?

hahaaaa, I was thinking more of my wife's "I'm sure there won't be anyone else waiting for an oil change at the quick-lube center on a sleepy Saturday morning." Only half a dozen people who work all day during the week.

oh. my. god. the upstairs apartment has at least 3 children, two of whom run around chasing each other loudly and stomping and screaming. i am sympathetic to the limits to which one can discipline one's children, and so i usually try to ignore it during the day, but once you pass into the evening hours, it becomes really infuriating. twice i've gone upstairs to knock on their door to ask politely if they could stop running around, and the first time, the mom refused to open the door, and the second time, she screamed at me to stop touching her door. aghhhhghghg!!

at least open the door and look at me to my face!

(she screamed at me through the door)

they are so loud sometimes that i was on the phone and during a particularly loud running stomping battle upstairs, the person i was talking to was like wow, i can hear that.

I hate getting the oil changed. If I was half a man, I'd do it myself in the driveway, but I can barely change the oil in the lawnmower without the appearance of blue smoke everywhere.

Bad coffee. Loud TV. You know the guy's going to go "Mr. Baker, we looked inside your güschenbächer and found a leaky sdkl;aksfjdo;aiklsjdga/ls." and even if what he says is true, I'm going to take the "big" stuff to my regular mechanic anyway JUST GIVE ME THE 24.95 OIL CHANGE THAT I GOT A COUPON FOR OUT OF THE PHONE BOOK THANKYOUVERYMUCH.

Flights that are supposed to be one airline but 'operated by' another. Checked in on one and tried to check in on the other to pay in advance for extra luggage (which you can only do after check-in) but apparently they don't have a departure option for the airport I'm actually leaving from so can't access it - tried to do likewise with the 'operated by' airline and once you're checked in you can't pay for extra luggage and have to pay full price at the airport GRGRGAGHHGHGHGHAAAGGHHH

Waitresses who sing along loudly with the radio in diners...fills me with a whitehot rage!
