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

I have no problem with question askers in general, to be clear. It's just that certain TYPE.

the fact that I seem to be mildly lactose intolerant and actually enjoy soy milk lattes, leading me to feel like I am drinking a fake coffee beverage

guess it's back to straight espresso for me

yeah I tried fucking with nonfat lattes for a while and hated myself for it

Does soy milk foam?? I've never asked for a soy anything because a) not crazy about taste of soy and b) I was under the assumption that it basically wouldn't work. But sometimes I reeeeaaaally want a cappuccino.

God help me I get decaf soy lattes. I can't answer the foam question because I'm a disgusting savage who doesn't really care about such things as long as the coffee isn't going to give me a panic attack/make me poop all day.

it works not as well :(

Apparently there's some kind of barista formulation brand of Silk that works for soy foam (who the hell knows, could be a myth) but mostly it doesn't foam that great. But from what I understand it normally doesn't foam well because it's got all that, uh, particulate in it? And there's no fat and that's the thing in milk that helps bond and create the yummy microfoam.

I've tried foaming almond milk and it sorta works -- you get much 'bigger' foam, and it dissipates p quickly. Cutting it with a little 2% milk can help, but obv counter productive if yr lactose intolerant

I get around all of this by drinking black coffee

That's disgusting.

unlike "soy foam"

I like black coffee, but not 100% of the time

I can't do black coffee, gives me terrible cramps

Latte soy foam shame.

xp

only drink black coffee tbh

only started drinking coffee at all in my 30s, can't stand hot milky drinks

a small perfectly formed whole milk latte is my ultimate pleasure in life

milk is gross. though i will get a cappuccino as a treat sometimes.

Soy milk has fat in it, but only half as much as whole milk per the completely unscientific internet search I just performed.

I remember the last whole milk latte I had and it was incredible.

My lactose intolerance is waning, but I'm not ready to find out what would happen if I drink a cup of milk. The consequences of failure are too grave.

God, seriously.

I like to tell people that, rather than being lactose intolerant, they are poop proficient

i like soy milk cuz it tastes good

xxxpost HOWWWWW on Earth did you get queue-jumping out of what I wrote, e.mily? Go tell someone off who actually needs a mommy, okay?

Of course there's nothing wrong with asking questions about what's on offer at a coffee place, it's just totally unobservant/rude to play 20 Questions when there's a queue of 10 behind you.

I don't know why that coffee mug is making my try to make a poorly-constructed Shirt Tales joke

i get around all this by not drinking coffee

not worth it

keeps me from having my entitlement issues dissected tho

Having a mug like that tells the world that even though your bowels are callin' you're not going anywhere until the coffee's gone

xpost that's what u think

I have been annoyed at my evening class teacher bcz I did most of the homework but don't qualify for a grade because we weren't told the length requirements until the last day of term

(I do the course just for fun and the certificate is basically worthless, so innocuous/irrational)

except last night I found out that the length requirements don't exist and it's just that I didn't hand in enough work, and I went "???" a bit, and found that even though I did like 7 out of 8 homeworks I apparently only handed 2 in, so now I am angry at myself

(most of them were just short exercises which we went through in class, she didn't ask us to hand them in, and I mostly didn't see anyone else handing any in, but apparently they all were?)

I dunno, I wasn't there.

I feel like I wasn't either! Anyway as you can tell I am IA at myself but also at all the other students for their stealthy handing-stuff-in ways, and at the teacher for not having a big flashing neon sign saying "hand! in! work! NOW", etc

anyway I wrote a weasely email because I have no shame (also because she'd only listed one of the 2 pieces I actually handed in) so I expect somewhere on a parallel internet there is a sudden revival on a thread entitled "Shameless weasely students who make you rationally angry"

nah it's bad teaching imo, shd've clearly asked for hand in, shd've chased you up once a couple were missing

I just looked at the beginning of the thread, and it's sort of a bummer that we stopped numbering them.

5,743,932. bus prices go up again
5,743,933. coworkers put flat items on vertically spacious shelf of work fridge
...

5,743,934 - people saying "london town"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Londontowne,_Maryland

I used to feel that way about "Chicagoland" but now I think it's sort of great.

Whereas "England Town" is .. um.. what?

When someone who is merely a messenger in the office gets basically hosed with follow-up questions when it is clear they're not the person to be answering them (not me, in this case, but just witnessed a colleague get that treatment)...

"Chicagoland" denotes Chicago and surrounding suburbs so I'm okay with it. You know when a business touts itself as "Chicagoland's Best TV and VCR Repair!" that shit's out in some far flung 'burb and you can cross it off your list of places to get your VCR fixed.

Yeah, "the Chicago area" would include the city; when they say "the Chicagoland area," that's always, like, Wheeling or some shit.

I love "Chicagoland," though; no one from outside Chicagoland believes that it's actually called that, since it sounds like an amusement park.

more ppl need to say 'raleighwood' imo
