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

god

my wife does this

*awk*ward

nah it's cool, she's old, I'm old -- I hold the yarn with my hands out like *this* while she knits the flags.

back to IA entries then

- that amazon has an option to filter books by 'biography' but no further filter for 'not reality tv unpeople fuckin morons'

otm

- the dingalings sitting next to us at a popular breakfast restaurant who are listening to music on a laptop.

not sure how ia this is, but when you stay in a hotel and you can hear the television next door, but you don't know whether it's the sound volume or the shitty paper-thin walls, so you just sort of sit there and put up with it

dudes shoulder-banging their girlfriends at shows

c'mon, dude, stop.

I bet I posted that already, after the last show I was at

maybe on the embarrassed thread instead but w/e

why you gotta be all rubbin yr girlfriends, dudes at shows, they aren't going to disappear if u stop rubbin them

I mean I know you probably are just tryin to confine yr rubbin to areas that are acceptable to rub in public but let me tell you it's not really acceptable

oooooh

i was trying to figure out like, do they get on their knees

haha I have no idea what you were imagining

aaahhh I get so IA whenever I try to GO anywhere

waiting 30 seconds for a car to make a mess of turning into the side road I was trying to cross, then missing my bus by 5 seconds; having to stop moving completely so a bike could overtake another bike right in front of me instead of waiting another couple of seconds until I'd got past

PS sorry silby, I hope you didn't get into any trouble over my irrational ranting last week

the phrase "sweets for my sweet".

I've had to drive (and park) in the city a lot lately. Driving is the worst, I don't understand why so many people do it. I am so much happier when I use public transportation.

when ladies with cool last names get married and take on boring last names. feel like if you want your family to all have the same last name, the objectively awesomer one should win.

I was once told "We love your name, it's so cool! You can never get married!"

if only there was a way to get married and still have an awesome name

i know a couple ladies who took on boring names because they were tired of having to spell out the cool ones all the time

seems a pity, but i have the boringest name so what do i know

my sister is changing her name when she gets married this year and then i will be the only person in the world with my last name (it's hyphenated)

kind of bummed that she's not gonna make her kids have a double-hyphenated last name

'ian reise-moraine-moraine'

my parents made me suffer w/ a weird name, feel like that's a tradition that should be passed down, like hazing

i never changed my name when we got married bc I was still in the middle of immigration paperwork and they made it seem like this annoying thing to go get a court order from a judge and all this nonsense, so we figured eh I'll leave it til the immigrating's done with. then when it was done I was kind of happy that I hadn't changed it -- it's one of the few things from home I got to keep when I left Australia :)

is your last name Blooming-Onion

HAHAHAHA

no it's Shrimp-On-the-Barbie

I had this longish bitchy post about how a friend I follow on twitter won't stop tweeting about her eating incompetence and I xposed w/ Brownie and LOLed and deleted that dumb post, so thanks Brownie.

np

imagine her pained tweets if she finds out she got run off this thread by a brownie.

haha estela

ha! Days and days of helpless tweets about wanting a brownie but having no idea how to obtain this elusive foodstuff in the middle of NYC.

wtf

She just relocated due to a major life upheaval, so I try to be sympathetic, since god knows I forget how eating works when I'm very upset/stressed, but I feel like if she spent half the energy obtaining food as she did complaining about the difficulties of eating and obtaining food, she'd be in really good shape! Well, probably not really good shape, but she'd be fed, which is certainly a start.

Oh look, I got my bitchy post in after all.

:D

I tried this, but I lost. So I assumed his name but if I ever legally changed it I will make my maiden name a middle name, and it will seem like a verb! It's D1ck$.

I will make my maiden name a middle name, and it will seem like a verb!

When an air bubble in water pipes makes the water shoot out like a firehose, soaking my shirty and pants. Every single morning recently. Argh.
