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

I have only been in one, near Wrigleyville. We ended up there because we just wanted a drink and thought it might be less fratty than some of the other bars. It was still pretty damn fratty.

Not near, directly in the middle of, and yes, it's terrible.

We did get to overhear this drunk girl talking to a parking attendant dude about relationships, though. She said something about being there, and he somewhat euphemistically said "Yeah, but in relationships maybe you need to do something /special/" followed by some sort of sexual insinuation. She responded with, "But I'm pretty!"

To this day, those friends and I will randomly bust out "But I'm pretty!" and die laughing

I get really irrationally angry when someone enters a fast food line, gets to the front of it, and then starts tryign to decide ewhat he wants to order. THAT'S WHAT WAITING IN THE BACK BEFORE GETTING IN LINE IS FOR.

hate that so much

esp when it's a chain restaurant that's relatively huge and hasn't changed its menu in years aka Burger King but then again I should be rationally angry at myself for eating that crap in the first place.

Ha, yes. I don't eat a lot of fast food so I am often overwhelmed by fast food menus and I hate it when there is not at least a short line so I can figure out what the hell is going on in there before it's my turn.

I'm so happy I work at a place where I can get packages delivered without anybody yelling at me for it (although the mail room people do like to comment on the size/quantity of packages I receive, which I would prefer they didn't, but we all must make sacrifices).

"But I'm pretty!"

LOL

xp No! Burger King totally changes its menu. And god damn I'm about to sound completely insufferable here, but we don't have cable so I don't see many commercials and suddenly I'm in line and I'm like, "Angry Whopper? What the fuck is an Angry Whopper?"

yeah it's changed its menus to include like exotic Whoppers and shit but a lot of the core menu has stayed in place.

the Angry Whopper sucks btw, but the Carolina one is good.

McDonalds woulda been a better example

She responded with, "But I'm pretty!"

SMDH RMDE etc

that reminds me of that movie BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER

Ha me too!

btw about two minutes after that, we saw two fratty-looking guys trying to fight each other by shoving. One was restrained by his friend, and the other taunted him BY LIFTING UP HIS SHIRT AND SHOWING HIS CHEST. That is apparently a real thing.

btw this was about an hour after we'd seen a Bjork concert. it was a hell of a night.

"u wish you had hairy standy-out nips like these, BITCH'

aww for a moment I thought the fight happened at the Bjork concert, that woulda been next level

Things that make me irrationally angry: people who don't enjoy Einar, the shouty guy from The Sugarcubes
(Einar's band was opening for Bjork)

was it at that college theater in the loop? if so, i was at that show

in the very very last row way up high

i dislike people who automatically heckle any opening act simply cuz it isn't who they paid to see. you don't have to care or pay attention, but short of being unable to play their instruments, putting in a half-assed effort, or acting like a dick to the audience, there ain't no reason to heckle...STFU AND DEAL WITH IT.

only act I ever booed was MC Hammer in 2010 but I was hardly the only one, it was the worst show ever.

probably was, n/a!

BY LIFTING UP HIS SHIRT AND SHOWING HIS CHEST.

Are you sure you weren't in the primate house at the Lincoln Park Zoo?

wrigleyville isn't that different

FedEx and UPS typically give you the ability to have the package redirected to a local store they have or a depot elsewhere. I usually pick one across from the bar.

It would be a lot easier to get to the central GPO for the town. & apparently the sorting office was located there a long time ago. Haven't heard of the option to have things held there in the actual Post Office being open but it would be very handy.

when i log in to my hotmail account why do i have to type @hotmail.com?

i'm already on www.hotmail.com, you cunts, wtf is wrong with you? what website did you think i thought i was logging into?

i'm almost certain i didn't have to do this in 1997, why did it change? fuck you. in the face.

It changed because they brought in hotmail.<country code> addresses. If you signed up now you'd probably get a hotmail.ie email.

i rage nonetheless

You know, they've come out with some other email services since 1997.

AOL's pretty cutting edge but I dunno if they have that in Ireland

yeah i keep it for junk and stuff tbh

I have been noticing that the wind causes sudden and abrupt rage, especially if it is cold or cooler.

yes.

instagram friend who posts photos with literally 10 lines of hashtags

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR PHOTOS

No fucking shit.

I care about your photos VG.

Also posting a picture of Johnny Rotten in 1977 or the bee thousand album cover... If I want to read Wikipedia, there's already an app for that.

I've got one follower who I had to drop because all his photos have been polarized, attempted to be HDR and even contain A COPYRIGHT WATERMARK in the corner.

loool

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but if anyone asks me "what I went for" or "what's that" when I go and get lunch, I'm liable to be very very sarcastic indeed. "It's a new thing, it's called soup, now fuck off"

ilx addiction making me IA in 2013

not that hard to just not click on the website, right?

Ways that I have managed to take ILX breaks: delete ap from phone; delete bookmarks; ask for tempban so I can't post even if I do read occasionally.

temp(ting) ban

#hashtags grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

about.com and other stupid websites cluttering up everything online.....hate landing on those websites

road signs that warn you about an upcoming speed limit road sign

Like "Reduce Speed Ahead" signs? I'm grateful to those since the only time I've ever received a speeding ticket was in a speedtrap in fucking Bridgeville, DE ("If you lived here, you'd be home now!") where they did not notify drivers of the reduced speed, which happened out of nowhere and right next to a conveniently parked town cop. Excellent source of revenue, the fucks.

Seriously. And I also don't mind the lights warning you of a stoplight positioned just over the hill.

These are the worst things in the world. I hate wiki.answers.com the most.

I Googled something on my phone the other day and got to one of those, I think it was the mobile version of wiki answers - it showed a page with the question on it and "swipe to see another advertisement the answer."

Rage.

people who read a string of digits like a series of 2-digit numbers

TWENTY SEVEN FORTY FIVE SEVENTEEN? OH, YOU MEAN "TWO SEVEN FOUR FIVE ONE SEVEN"? I SAVED YOU TWO SYLLABLES ALSO FUCK YOU
