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

Airborne/vitamin c/emergen-c all rage inducing. Unintended side effect.

Named Airborne in honor of multiple objects thrown across room by test group.

i grew up drinking emergen-c all the time — it was called kool-aid back then

what the hell is airborne

/tuomas, no doubt

If you know what Emergen-C is, it's that, essentially. Different brand, and they actually were successfully prosecuted by the FDA for extravagant claims.

Not the FDA, since it's not a drug.

duh, everyone knows it's the fdrug and drug administration

I guess this is probably a super-common thing by now on Instagram and self-photos and stuff but;

I have a friend who is a lovely, gorgeous interesting girl. Most of her instagram feed, if it's during hockey season, consists entirely of hockey players because she is a hella crazy groupie which I kind of love about her. The rest of the time though, it's made up of photos of herself from the eyebrows to the cleavage. ALWAYS. And they're supposedly subject-related like 'wow the sky is weird today' or 'I dunno if this is the right color red for my hair' or 'I have a weird bruise on my chin' but that mostly manage to include most of her cleavage as the focus. It's just, myspace-o-rama all the time!

Not so much IA as oddly hilarious and non-sequitur-ish. "Hey wow look a rainbow" = OH HAI HERE'S MY BOOBS. Today she was like 'Hmm I feeling lazy on Halloween' and it's her lying on her bed, from the neck to mid thigh in a tight 'trick or treat' tshirt and boy short underpants.

I feel like I'm the wrong audience but hey, I'm just biding my time til she starts putting up handsome hockey players again, lol.

plz to message me her instagram account name, but not during hockey season

lol

halloween and people going crazy about it asking you for days what you're gonna be dressed up as and boring the shit out of everyone telling you about their costume. especially since tbh not being american means i don't give a fuck about halloween

It's as bad here in Britain now. Used to be kids would dress up for one night and get some sweets. Now everyone's carving pumpkins and throwing parties and decorating houses and putting on scary cds.

halloween is literally the only good holiday and everyone across the world should be happy that we are sharing it with you

I'd wager that more pedestrians get hit by cars than any other holiday in the year.

i'd wager that one year later, more of the drivers of those cars get mysterious emails that read only "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST HALLOWEEN" than any other holiday in the year

so, another point in favor of halloween

the one holiday when more people walk than drive and the cars still ruin it for everyone

I'd wager that more pedestrians get hit by cars than any other holiday in the year.

yeah but its also the pedestrianiest day of the year!

Sick of UK people on FB sneeringly posting Halloween-related This Isn't America statements. You are free not to bother participating, and if you're going to rail against America, pick something serious.

man that really sucks, uk, sorry that people in your area are interested in celebrating stuff

You should tell them to go carve a turnip lantern.

lool

I told them that the point was, I had seen a 3-year-old flying ninja and they hadn't.

those thin plastic strips around icecream and spice lids that are "theoretically" perforated for removal but never are and you have to cut it with a knife/scissors to get it off.

ragh

People who get really pissed off because they have decided things are happening too early. Such as holiday cups at Starbucks. Why is that?? Were you not prepared????

Because it's really irritating to put up with Christmas shit for a longer period every year?

i don't care about the cups (nor do i drink coffee) but fuck having to listen to xmas music when it's not december

does starbucks have xmas flavors yet? cause i'll celebrate that

yep, they're up and running

Didja know those flavors are available all year long?

not all of them. eggnog only comes in at Christmas

The thing that makes me IA about this topic is the concept of flavoured coffee at all. ITS COFFEE. You drink it because you like the taste of COFFEE. If you feel the need to load it with HFCS and fuckin strawberry or pumpkin or wtf ever flavour, go get a damn milkshake.

i don't wanna make a fuss just give me a menu and i'll pick something xp

i don't drink coffee cause i like the taste of coffee what are you talking about

i fucking HATE coffee ice cream

love putting ice cream in coffee tho, anything to distract me from the coffee

Why put BACON on meatloaf/a sandwich/anything? It's bacon, eat bacon

Isn't a chocolate milkshake just a misappropriation of chocolate? Chocolate is its own thing!!

I love coffee for its coffeeness too, but that's not why I go to Starbucks.

starbucks is the worst place to have coffee-as-coffee coffee drinks

yeah i don't think most people who shop there are convincing themselves otherwise

i can't get a java chip frappuccino anywhere else, so where else am i gonna get a java chip frappuccino

dont be cheeky mh.

I mean, sure, flavoured milk drinks. thats a thing. I'm down with that. Just dont be calling it coffee!

but the coffee gives it the coffee flavor and wakes me up and makes me poo, which is literally everything that coffee does, so why not

flavored coffee is ok as a special treat. A peppermint mocha on a cold day around christmas time is p good imo.

starbucks actual coffee is ordinary which is why: flavors

homemade latte still my fave

i won't go into starbucks cuz the last time i was there they were playing some horrible barbara streisand thing and i swore them off for good

No joke?

ya

not so much for my own sake as the employees can't even lower the volume or change the music. i've worked in that environment and would rather not give money to places that treat their ppl thus

plus intelligentsia is the same distance from school and is 1000x better
