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

ohmygod can't believe anybody doesn't like the taste :(

it's genetic, some people aren't blessed with the ability to taste cilantro in its full glory

i am waiting for curry to be delivered so not feeling irrationally angry about this

Love cilantro. Hate parsley. Tastes like dirt.

- trying to make paninis on a gadget that doesnt have sprung hinges. top bread slides off, everything gets v annoying v quickly ragh

^People who pluralise the already-plural 'panini' ;-p

People who want to make me look silly in cafes by asking for a panino.

(unless the cafe is in Italy in which case, no objection and I expect a very high quality panino)

anyone who ever pluralizes a word in english w/ an 'i' at the end deserves the death penalty

by that I mean anyone who thinks they're being clever by speaking the wrong language instead of adding an s

Paninaro, woah-oh-oh

I have always found the way Polish people pluralise the English "tips" (as in painted finger nails) as "tipsy" cute.

I didn't know that parsley was edible until about a year ago. Always assumed it was just something to pretty up the plate. And after tasting it, I'm still not sure I'm wrong about that.

Likewise I have always found the way Asian people use "stuffs" rather than "stuff" kind of cute.

As an American I feel this way about the British "maths". And yet "sport" vs. "sports" still makes no sense to me.

Does anyone else find that overcooked eggs can smell like wet dog?

TV programmes starting at anything other than zero or thirty minutes past the hour - fucking up switching options to other stations before and after.

Sport is a little weird. "Drink driving" bugs me.

Drink driving?

Nice dn.

I don't know what your football games do, onimo, but our version of it frequently has kick-offs at 11:37 or 5:06.

Lots of fun when you're compiling an online calendar.

Drink driving?

Driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), drunken driving, drunk driving, drink driving, operating under the influence, drinking and driving, or impaired driving

The drink drive limit
There are strict drink driving penalties if you are caught over the limit.

Ted Turner should get some blame for this.

"drink drive" sounds like a good time, like cruising around with a glass of champagne

Like a booze cruise.

Put dates on all your documents. It's such an easy thing to do. Just put a date on the documents. The date you wrote them or the date you signed then, whatever. But put a goddamn date on it.

There's no date on that. Burn it.

but is it really a document?!?

customers who don't understand how email works.

ie when ordering a title, don't just give the name as a single word reply
give me the name, quantity, and perhaps even your account number ffs

but noooooooooo instead we get to play backy forthy text messagey email word at a time story.

hours later, I put in your order that I could have entered with ONE SINGLE INFORMATIVE MESSAGE YOU MORON

sigh

but so many people do this with email now it's maddening. I have friends who do this, and trying to decide on a place for dinner takes fking hours

People who don't remove labels from their coat sleeves.

kinda irrationally angry-making, mostly sad

i think i feel the same way about people who don't remove the dealer frame from around their license plates when they buy a car

people who are assholes when i call them at work but make sure to add a "happy new year" at the end of the call

like seriously people, own your asshole-ism

People who don't remove labels from their coat sleeves.

lol at my last day job deal i had to explain to so many people that you clip the little label tag off the sleeve of your suit coat

"it's not like a ralph lauren pony, dude. people don't put logos on suits."

ugh yeah all those burlington coat factory coats I see with their labels still on the sleeve (facepalm)

how do u feel about baseball caps with stickers on the brim

I don't care for it but I realize it's a thing

god I see so many of them at raider games and I'm like, really
if it's so precious why are you WEARING it then

- unsmiling and entitled-acting ppl who glide into restaurants like they're celebrities and can't even bother to smile at the servers or staff

when i was a kid we used to walk around with our high-tops unlaced

the sticker thing is maybe marginally less stupid; it mainly makes me feel old for laughing at it

exactly! I try not to dwell on it

I did a highschool exchange program thing in Michigan in like, 93
all the students at this particular high school were all walking aroudn with their jumpers...ugh I mean sweaters...inside out. like, athletic fleecy sweaters! inside out, so you could see all the sewing and tags and shit

I was SO bemused by how many ppl were doing it, but seeing that it was a thing I kept my mouth shut

years later I mentioned it to Mr veg and he was like, 'maybe they were just stupid'

:D

xpost I exaggerate, not all the students, but a LOT of the kids in the classes I attended

That kind of stuff basically boils down to: I will make you notice me!

their jumpers...ugh I mean sweaters...inside out. like, athletic fleecy sweaters

'sweatshirts'

ragh you people and your specific nomenclature ugh

That kind of stuff basically boils down to: I will make you notice me!

for some, maybe -- for most i think it's trying *not* to stand out amongst your peers. adults don't count
