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

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

lol @ caps

no, "Reduce Speed Ahead" signs usually serve a purpose. these are just yellow diamond signs with a small picture of a speed limit sign and an arrow pointing forward that usually don't, every time i see them they're on perfectly flat land a quarter mile before the real speed limit sign. you can probably see the real sign from the same position anyway.

I just think of them as Reduced Speed Ahead signs with the add bonus of knowing just what that upcoming speed limit will be.

Now, the whole meta sign-on-a-sign kinda annoys me in some weird way I can't describe, but overall I can't complain.

One of our state circuit court's websites has a system for attorneys to search for any/all their upcoming court dates, which would be SUPER useful. But then it requires that you enter fill in the "Court Date" field, so results only ever show one date at a time.

Then you get the option to download that solitary date in .csv.

And this is one of the best state court websites I've ever used.

J, any chance you could enter 01/02/2013..01/31/2013 to catch the month? I've seen that kind of thing before, though not on a web input field.

No, I tried that and got the error message "Date entered is not a date."

type STFU IT IS SO TOO A DATE

Eh, it was worth a shot. Shitty. >:|

It's one of 4 or 5 IL courts that's been on a 4 year long pilot program for electronic case management systems, all of which are bad, and all of which are totally independent. That decentralization is fucking terrible, IMO.

Another gripe with their system: you can only SEARCH forms, not browse them. It sucks b/c names of forms vary a bit, Eg, what you know as an "Order to Withhold Income" they might call a "Notice of Garnishment."

I usually just search for the letters "e" or "a" and Ctrl-F on the results.

Again, this is the site that is overall the best of the lot.

Man, that makes our court website sound optimal.

Then again, most people I know who use our court website use it to look up convictions of people before prospective dates

Lol. Around here convicts don't have to worry about that. State-level ones, anyway; the federal courts' websites are gloriously useable.

I use the Maryland one to approve fb friend requests. "Oh wow, it's Dave - I haven't seen him in years! Wait, that's where he's been? Unauthorized removal of livestock? Naw dude, you don't get to see pics of my kids."

The IL sex offender registry is very user-friendly.

Oh jeez, we were really happy when my wife's mechanic moved onto our street until he turned up in our regular check for sex offenders in our zip code.

The IL sex offender registry is very user-friendly.

I read that as being some new board on here...
