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

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

i feel like around 93 the inside out fleecy torso apparel (or w/e it is called) was a "thing" for sure.

i'm also irrationally annoyed by ppl who are so casual they go to the coffeeshop in their PJs.

I don't know about inside out sweatshirts, but when I was in junior high c. 1985 or so, the thing to do was to wear v-neck sweaters backwards, so the v was in the back. The look required a specific type of cotton shaker-knit v-neck sweater from The Limited, and a men's white t-shirt to wear underneath.

Note: We could not afford clothes from The Limited so I did not partake in this trend. I really wanted to, though.

the rolled-up jeans look circa '88 or '89 was infuriating to me, i feel like only the metalheads didn't do that one.

i was (and remain) horribly unfashionable, but i remember partaking in the brief late-80s phases of pinstriped jeans and short-sleeved o.p. shirts with the (alternate color) cuffs rolled up

yesss

i went home to pittsburgh for xmas and was briefly in a mall on xmas eve

despite having grown up there and my own style impairment, i was immediately struck by how many ppl (and women specifically) were wearing some kind of sports apparel -- generally steelers, but rarely ben roffles (i doubt too many safeties ever have had as many fans as troy polamalu). and also how many ppl were wearing the sweatshirt-sweatpants combo, which is not so evident in nyc

i could never convince mum that my fads were worth her investment

and when she did come around it was always slightly too late and ~the wrong brand~
sigh
it became character-building later

i only remember a couple, like having a pair of sunglasses on my head at all times & never wearing them
and many layers of neon socks at diff heights

the sweatshirt-sweatpants combo

lol that shit reminds me more of Paulie Walnuts than unstylish Midwesterners.

wait, Paulie wears a tracksuit -- haute fashion for the goombah set.

i could never convince mum that my dads were worth her investment

pittsburgh isn't the midwest, turnpike-exit-boy xp

The only sweatpants I see these days are Juicy and Victoria's Secret PINK.

butts with names on them

yup

MYSELF, GODDAMN.

and shouldn't "pink" be in front of the crotch and not over the ass?!?

that is a very un-juicy butt xxp

good job guys

i want one that says FARTY

Or failing that, PARTY.

I don't even see juicy anymore! Just the rare VS PINK one. Hardly make it to the mall these days, though.

I was with someone some time ago and she wore stuff like this in public once or twice and my instinct, which should have been followed, was to dump her insignia-stamped ass on the spot
