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

Aw, that story is no sillier than 95% of things people post on ILX! xoxo

Maybe I say that because I don't wear watches for that same reason. I've somehow managed not to lose my wedding band but it's probably just a matter of time.

I recently posted a pic on Facebook of me from the 90s, and instead of going "hey, look how young I look", I was all "hey, forgot I used to wear a watch all the time."

xpost - it's part of the reason why I don't wear a wedding ring. the other part is that we commissioned a friend to make us one and it's been a 10 year work in progress, lol.

my parents stopped wearing rings because my mom had issues with her hands swelling and had to have hers cut off and my dad was like, hey, I hate wearing jewelry, can I just leave this off?

yeah my hands swell up and down too, which might be part of my absent-minded jewellery removal

painted my nails and immediately developed a wedgie. Have been shifting in my seat for 20 minutes :(

oh cruel fate

if I clench just so it's not so bad.. but really, it's bad. Karma biting me in the ass(!) for painting my nails in the office.

lol @ "clench just so"

hehehe :D at least it'll improve my ass muscles?

"I owe it all to wedgies"

had to read this twice before I realized that her hands weren't actually getting cut off

lol

mh: amazing. Thank you.

Update: still hurts. Am not experiencing enlightenment.

Your wedgie *hurts*?

Stick a phone or pencil down your pants.

Ask a friend for help.

Sit and scoot backwards on a rug.

You stole that last tip from a cat

It was on my mind b/c the office dog just did it while I was meeting with my boss.

I'm wearing Spanx under my tight dress which means I couldn't get at it very easily ;_; I suffer for fashion. I went into the bathroom after a long enough nail drying period & fixed it slightly.

Ask a very close friend or a very hated enemy to pull the wedgie out for you.

?

just a way of saying "…. well then."

Some of you might do this and I hope you take no offense, but I really, really have no idea why anyone bothers to post fucking album covers on their Instagram feeds. Maybe I'll start posting William Eggleston photos or something.

ah, fair enough. What can I say.. Spanx smooth you out & make you feel more secure ;) Keeps the beer belly from jiggling about so..

ffm your smile in that pic oddly reminds me of an ex! weeeeird

you don't remember our years together, dude?

must not considering I thought it was months

dearest housemate, why would you set up residence for the evening in the kitchen? why would anyone choose the kitchen as a place to chill by themselves? i just want to go and mooch around for some food and i'm exhausted and really can't talk right now.

wow lex, you go into the kitchen?
(joeks bruv)

Every open house we went to, the real estate agent would say the same thing, "The kitchen is fast becoming the most social area of the home!" Even my best friend tried that one on me as we sat on bar stools surrounding his Corian island. "Look where we are right now!"

To which I wanted to reply, "THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE THE HOST AND LED ME HERE." But I didn't say that because I wanted to be nice and besides, he was making ribs.

Computer screen having a menu that I can't get rid of blocking a section of everything I try to look at on the computer. Keep getting rid of it for a while then having it coming back and not being able to lose it, think I might need to get a replacement.
won't respond to the buttons on the front, won't permanently disappear.
Not sure if I can turn the screen off when its showing, hasn't turned off before.
very much does my head in.

wow lex, you go into the kitchen?
(joeks bruv)

reluctantly and i don't want anyone observing me while i scavenge pitifully for food

i'm kinda with lex on that one, few things are more subtly uncomfortable than having someone watch you go through the fridge.

kinda glad it's not just me, i feel slightly mental by disliking it so much

maybe housemate is hanging out in the kitchen because they are lonely/in the mood to socialize?

but i don't understand why she's set up camp in the kitchen. go and read and surf the internet in your room like a normal person! or the LIVING ROOM. not the kitchen!

xp i actually think that's what it is. i am fucking exhausted though, it's not that i don't want to talk to her it's that i don't want to talk to anyone. i want to grab some food and then go to sleep

actually you're not alone, I end up picking the thing I'm *not* wanting to eat if someone is watching me go through the fridge, bcs I get performance anxiety

my flat doesn't have a living room, meaning that the kitchen is ostensibly the social zone. the result is that i see my flatmates for about ten minutes a week (esp with my lex-esque diet).

Hanging out in the kitchen alone might be a little odd, but pplain's realty agents are otherwise right - it's where every social gathering winds up.

It's where the beer is.

speaking of this, people who might have "helpful suggestions" in the kitchen while i cook

people who just want to stand around and cage bites are cool

it's really too hot in there for me.

the opposite end of IA is my friend who's still learning to cook, but knows the basics, will cook dinner for me and stand there and talk, back to the stove, while whatever is sauteeing, sauteeing, sauteeing....hmm sorta might be sauteed enough now could do with a stir...um yeah starting to burn now 'HEY HOW ABOUT I STIR WHILE YOU PREP'

* albums released on vinyl but not CD
* people who talk endlessly about GI and omega-3 fatty acids
* getting really bad asthma for the first time in 20 years
* the success of the Avengers meaning everybody won't shut up about hack Joss Wheedon's alleged genius

This is kinda innocuous because usually getting your food quick is better than a painfully long wait, but, we ordered Chinese and were told it would take "at least an hour" for the food to be delivered. Fine, fairly standard, so my wife left for her run. It showed up in 11 minutes. Arrrgh.
