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

But I have way too many CDs to fit on my iPhone and streaming them

THis. There's no portable device that could come close to holding all my music, so to have to boot up a computer, find the right files, move them onto the ipod or whatever, after deleting other stuff to make space, etc etc etc, whern I can just grab a CD off the shelf and bung it in the stereo in seconds has a lot to commend it.

And I do not trust any cloud/corporation to last long enough and with unchanged terms and conditions to give up my physical collection.

IA: some knucklehead named Jan Samelastnameasmine keeps trying to reset her password for something using MY GODDAMN EMAIL ADDRESS (j ourlastname at host.com) and I have received ten password reset emails in the last two days.

I had some guy called Richard Mylastname sending lots of appointments to my Gmail calendar. I was sort of intrigued as my last name is unusual and this guy was not a relative that I know of, but I decided there was not a great probability of blossoming friendship with someone who went to so many finance conferences.

In the end when I was drunk I clicked "No, I will not attend" on one of his 1:1 meetings and then they stopped turning up

I've revived this thread.

Irrational hatred of people who have the same name as you

I cant believe you guys are complaining about moving computer files

WTF

poopshityyy at gmail dot com.

You can say what you want, but poopshit is by far the best kind, imo.

I didn't notice at first that Google lets you disconnect the email addresses https://accounts.google.com/AccountDisavow. "Disavow" sounds so formal.

The Cure

had to listen to this band during a car journey the other day and damn this is some annoying music

blogs that don't have a 'read more' link when viewed in an rss reader. no i don't wanna scroll down 20 pages of photos of your trip to syracuse in order to read the next post.

Here's the most irrational thing for me of late to hate upon: I can't stand Tumblr's novel way of introducing older items on a "neverending" screen.

I'm not saying I like pagination, as you find on lesser message boards or any sequence of links that you have to follow like Hansel & Gretel to get anywhere. But scrolling down on a page, thinking to yourself, okay, I'll go back to my spreadsheet after this page, when suddenly the little blue marker on the right side of the browser shrinks and shoots up like a ball of mercury, giving you an additional 20 random pics that you didn't ask for.

It's doing you a duty of saving you from going through all that stuff and one day, I will likely become comfortable with it, but for now, I'm just aw fuck, now what just happened.

how quickly hot french fries turn cold and nasty-tasting. why do I always forget that and eat the burger first? ragh.

Ha! That is exactly why not only do I always eat my french fries first, but it has spread to where I will always eat my chips before a sandwich. Weird and I don't know why, but there it is.

It is almost unthinkable that they would not be consumed contemporaneously. It was only in about mid-2010 that I even realized it was an option to eat a sandwich and its side separately.

I'm a separate-eater mostly. Either the burger or the fries, etc

I just eat food whichever way it happens to end up in my mouth.

The campaign for "'tooed" starts here.

totes toooed, yo

right now my housemates incessant, little dry cough is irritating the nads off me and he can't help it and I know it's my bad mood but AARRRRGGG

Whenever anyone talk about their 'spirit animal'.

When folks type out how they're laughing but start with "a" instead of "h," like "ahahahah."

Maybe they are laughing like Ah ha ha ha, though.

I do that 'cause I laugh like Phyllis Diller.

Maybe, Carl, maybe. An honest laugh, however, begins with an involuntary contraction of both the diaphragm and the esophageal muscules, resulting in the gutteral "H" that precedes the remainder of the laugh. People who begin a laugh with "A" are cruel, morally insufficient, and worse, like your Phyllis Dillers. That's the plain science of it.

makes me think of a husband catching his wife cheating with his best friend.

"AHA! AHA! AHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

Whenever anyone talk about their 'spirit animal'.

Argh yes this, where the heck did this spring from all of a sudden.

"this is my jam" also pisses me the fuck off. NONE OF YOU SAID THIS SIX MONTHS AGO.

The "This Is My Jam" app didn't exist six months ago.

Yeah that certainly ads to it, granted, but people had also just started saying it anyway, so it seemed (before that I mean). I may be misremembering though.

ppl should not be permitted to hold hands in the public places of major metropolitan cities. a) it is too crowded and they are taking up too much indivisible space b) fuck ppl in relationships

ppl too short to hold on to the high bars on the edges of subway cars should not be allowed to ride the subway. at the very least they should be firmly reprimanded/mercilessly teased for hugging the center poles and preventing normals from passing

f u tallboy

now that's an IA platform I can get behind

mookie bringing the heat itt

Pole huggers are disgusting savages.

i work upstairs in a building of which the ground floor is a tourist destination -- on the occasions that i leave the office for lunch it is like an immersion course in ia

Guh. I try to tell myself that tourists are an important part of our local economy blah blah blah but I want them to go home and stop gawking at buildings and clustering in front of whatever theater is showing Wicked or whatever.

Wicked is back????

I don't know. Those theaters played Wicked so long that I just see "Wicked" on the marquee regardless of what's actually there.

parades

I like old people holding hands. They're so cute.

i love a parade

unless i am trying to park near it. fortunately i no longer have a car

old ppl are okay I GUESS

Calling the ground/sidewalk/road the floor.

Only acceptable of you also call the sky "the ceiling."

Ugh IF

or if it's helo referring to the 'deck' or 'head'

Mookie let's make a deal: I get one hand holding in public per five streetcar rides where I'm in the center & can only use the ceiling for balance.

Showing us all how it's done. Damn, son!

mookie has permanently changed the way we think about irrational anger.

there is an iatee-like efficiency of thought here. this could change everything
