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

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.

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

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 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!

thought about this w.r.t. a friend who has the last name "Touches"

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.

poor shirty

why is an apple from the (allegedly subsidised) canteen 60p?

bulky toe seams on socks

especially when they're thin socks and you can't get that one part of the seam to leave your pinky toe alone

bulky toe seams on socks

DEATH TO BULKY SOCK SEAMS

men with long hair brushing it in public

i've never had the sock thing. feel like i'm missing out.

if you don't care how they look, just wear them inside out

(I learned that from Andy Rooney iirc)

getting stuck at a slow pedestrian crossing light changing on a day that started off windy and rainy and became increasingly intense as I waited for the light to change. Haven't seen it rain that intensely in a while.
Torrwents of rain pouring down the top of my engineer boots.
Swear that light is actually slow compared to other crossings.

& not being able to keep my normally waterproofing leather hat on my head in the wind.

Or be able to see the crossing lights properly cos some tall vehicle brushed the crossing lights so they face the wrong direction.

that thing where people crop a photo of someone's face so it stops along the jawline, making them look like their head just burst forth from some insane '60s jack-in-the-box, is driving me up the wall atm

now I have to find an example of what I am talking about

does that come up a lot?

they're always grinning/gurning and they always look like dicks

xp it seems to be enjoying a resurgence

see now I look like an idiot because I can't find an example (there was one in a magazine that I only just deleted)

closest eg i can find

but worse, like it was done by a child with a pair of scissors

that is half a century old

you have some esoteric hatreds (which is fine!)

shh let him have this

soz

but I've seen it three times in the past week! I don't know why it's making a comeback

I don't even know what it's called, which is making me even more ia

there there, it's okay adam

downloading the magazine again, just so I can show you
