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

i think we can all agree on that.

no

I keep coming to this thread, which has a bookmark on it and not being taken to th ebookmark. Not sure waht's causing that, server or what but I'm just being taken to th etop of th e thread not where the bookmark I specifically put on should be taking me.

Josefa OTM but this also very OTM:

Sit near the door of a place w/out a vestibule and you'll come to appreciate them. They're nowhere near perfect, but overall they're far better than nothing.

mookieproof OTM, too.

Carl OTM

coming off an incredibly busy week, looking at a slightly less intense but still quite busy week, and not being able to sleep in. 6.5 hours last night, 7 hours friday night. i cannot stop waking up at 6.11 am.

I kept waking up at around 5 or 5.30 a.m . during a really stressed out week last week. Think I woke a couple of times during the night too.
So know where you're coming from. Probably find it's something like too much adrenaline being produced or something.

Can you tell what time the cat usually comes in and starts dancing on my head?

ppl who bring the entire family to the grocery store at the busiest time

ugh this

guy standing in the way of the back door of the bus who, when it became clear that we were going to exit via the back door, moved over about one inch and said magnanimously, "Go ahead." Look pal, I don't need your permission to get off the bus.

did you curtsey y/n

My wife, telling me the guy facing me in the intersection flashed his headlights, giving me permission to turn ahead of him, despite the fact that there was someone crossing the street at the intersection I was turning into, which is why I was not turning. If I did not see the person crossing and heeded my wife's prompting, I would have squished someone. But I did see the person crossing, as well as the guy courteously flashing his headlights at me, because I AM THE DRIVER and am paying attention.

The lid of this biro doesn't fit snugly on the reverse end and keeps falling off causing me to say FUCK fairly loudly in the office.

yeah that's some bullshit

My bank's new "no hats/no hoodies" policy. My bald head gets cold this time of year!

wear a hat that looks like a lush head of hair imo

I should! But I'm too cheap.

I assume that "no hoodies" means not wearing the hood up, otherwise I've been flouting that rule the last five times I've gone in there.

- fish bones
- shit phone batteries that keep a charge for more than a day as long as you don't use the fucking phone as anything other than a battery monitor
- people who can't use automated ticket barriers at train stations and stand in my fucking way staring at them in confusion
- jars with curved bits in them that make it really awkward to get stuff out

- my downstairs neighbors who only ever shovel the 8 feet of walkway from the sidewalk to their front door, but have never shoveled the sidewalk in front of our building, ever, not once. Fucking monsters.
- my upstairs neighbors who have never, ever shoveled anything, including the steps that lead up to both of our front doors, or the back steps going to the backyard, or the walkway to the alley, or the front walk, nothing, and they have seen both Jeff and I shoveling all of these things and what, do they think we're the fucking hired help or something?
- shoveling snow
- I love you winter, but you're fucking killing me this year.

it's nice that you guys shovel but don't you have landlords?

Landlord. He used to live around the corner and if it snowed on a weekend he would come over and shovel. Now he lives in the suburbs and only comes over as needed.

Hmm. I wonder if this means he's going to ignore the yard this summer... Yard work is where I draw the line.

Honestly if it weren't for the sidewalk I would probably just risk bodily injury on the stairs if for no other reason than to spite the assholes upstairs, but not clearing the sidewalk is such a shitty thing to do that I can't not do it.

Our first set of up- and downstairs neighbors were wonderful and I miss them dearly and if one of them came out to shovel, s/he'd shovel everything. Like the downstairs neighbors would shovel our steps! And we would reciprocate. It was like three floors of grown adults being taking reasonable responsibility for our home. Now we are sandwiched between two floors of callow children who probably slept through sociology class when they covered the tragedy of the commons and also slept through physics class when they discussed how sound waves travel through wooden floors.

this fucking shit is all over the notice boards in my office, what are we, like 6-year-olds:

He's done yard work since the suburbs move

Gross.

Xp

carl, if I were you, I'd buy a used snowblower. Not saying you should, but they look fun to me.

carl AND Jeff.

as a bonus it would probably piss off your neighbors

I'd just leave it running in front of their front door at 6 am on Sunday.

people who swing their arms too vigorously while walking, or worse, don't move their arms at all

(angry is too strong a word, but still)

your shovelling is my hoovering. communal stairwell is a real mess, most of it pine needles from the christmas tree that was dragged down 4 flights in january...

- ppl with tiny bags (like literally backpacks and laptop bags) who insist on rolling them along busy city sidewalks
- ppl with luggage so big they cannot lift it and are thus stymied by any un-flat surface, of which this world has many

- the use of 'emboldened', 'audacity' or 'hill we will die on' in anything

don't cross me; i am irrationally angry

- ppl with tiny bags (like literally backpacks and laptop bags) who insist on rolling them along busy city sidewalks

i am satan and i realize it: i use a small rolling suitcase for my kitchen tools when i commute to and from school on the subway. i am THAT PERSON. i am even worse than subway riders who clog up the cars with bicycles and strollers.

i am crushed by this revelation

yeah, i've got my suitcase, my knife kit, and a tote bag i use for a purse. i must look like a crazy person.

could you maybe wear a chef's hat?

And put your knife kit and tote bag underneath it?

i do wear my chef's whites and checkered pants on the train.

xp haha

and post a pic on wdyll?

i didn't know checkered pants were a thing; sounds groovy

they're HOUNDSTOOTH!

wau

do you have rockin kitchen clogs too, gb?

How did those come to be kitchen pants I wonder? My guess is that they hide stains well.

Do kitchen people still wear those pepper pants?

do you have rockin kitchen clogs too, gb?

sadly no, just the plain black slip-resistant flats.
