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

- 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

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.

sadface

:)

jbr are you gonna be a chef then?

i don't want to be a chef in a restaurant, no -- i'm kind of a low-key/lazy person and that seems like too much pressure. i want to run a specialty store that makes some prepared items and sells yuppie stuff like artisanal pickles and spice blends.

Do kitchen people still wear those pepper pants?

Ugh. In my experience, yes. I never liked those.

jody beth sahadis?

they're HOUNDSTOOTH!

Cordon Bleu in Pasadena? I had dinner at Technique tonight! (no corkage on Wednesdays, apparently). I used to think those were grey pants until I really looked close up.

What happened to the urban planning thing (if you don't mind my asking)?

people who need their hands held through ilx polls. "are we voting based on this or voting based on this?"

probably not innocuous but yahoo locking me out of my mobile being able to access my email. I have tried several times over the last couple of days to log in and just been told can't log in through mobile, try logging in through desktop or through facebook or google. Facebook seems to link to an interface relying on an app I don't have cos my phone isn't a smart phone & google wants me to set up a new Yahoo ID, won't allow me to link to existing one. & I wouldn't really want to if I coul djust access my own email in tyh e way I should be able to.

Drag, I used to check my mail on buses and things.
Maybe I need a new phone anyway, seems this one is clogged with wahtever temp files were generated by my previous logging into the net. I was told that whatever is preventing the interface I used to linkl to the net from from being able to link could be cleared but iot would involve removing all the messages from my phone which I tend to leave on there anyway.
Was wondering if that was some kind of a wind up or not, like only way to clear phone to be able to access internet is to completely wipe it, phone numbers could be moved to sim but all messages would have to be deleted.

I was also told at the same time that you're not supposed to link to the internet from the phone that much. I thought that odd since the phone company I'm with sell Internet deals. I tend to check it a couple of times a day cos its handy, is that odd?

possibly the biggest ia ever: when people see that i have an iphone and an ipod classic, and ask the following questions in the following order:

1. why do you have both?
2. why do you need so much music?
3. but you can't listen to that much music in one day, so why don't you just put some music on your phone?

^^^^

Holy shit, ^^^^ right on.

"20,000 songs? Why do you want 20,000 songs?!"

"Let me guess. If you had a walkman the only cassette you ever carried was the one you were listening to. Right? Right. SHUT THE FUCK UP THEN AND LET ME SHOW YOU THE BACKPACK OF CASSETTES I USED TO TAKE TO SCHOOL."

but seriously why do you have both

BECAUSE MILES DAVIS IS TOO HEAVY FOR MY PHONE TO DIG.

People might have both because they had an ipod first and just haven't been bothered to transfer their listening habits over? Or the phone was given for work?

I primarily listen on shuffle, so it's nice to be able to have a large library to hop through, though I would never need so much that I had to have two separate devices. Also I'm not rich enough to have both.

(NB: I have no problem with people being IA about this, just tossing in my tuppence... uh... that sounds wrong... oh well)

Let me guess. If you had a walkman the only cassette you ever carried was the one you were listening to. Right?

nah you are right I carried a few hundred, not sure which album I wanted to listen to

"Let me guess. If you had a walkman the only cassette you ever carried was the one you were listening to. Right? Right. SHUT THE FUCK UP THEN AND LET ME SHOW YOU THE BACKPACK OF CASSETTES I USED TO TAKE TO SCHOOL."

THIS

"Let me guess. If you had a walkman the only cassette you ever carried was the one you were listening to. Right? Right. SHUT THE FUCK UP THEN AND LET ME SHOW YOU THE BACKPACK OF CASSETTES I USED TO TAKE TO SCHOOL."

Seriously. My favorite item of clothing in junior high was a fisherman's vest, the pockets of which I would stuff with cassettes (removed from their cases so I could carry more.

haha yes, i used special slimline cassette cases for that exact reason

except the bit about the vest

that mental image re the vest is making me lol

also <3

slimline cases, I think I still have a crush on them

I had a knock-off Walkman that was roughly the size of a brick and I would carry it in my purse with another case-less cassette and a comb, because that's all I could fit in there with the tape player. (We didn't carry back packs for some reason. I remember having school bags when I was really little (like a little kid briefcase) and I remember the year when my grandmother bought me one and I was like, "I'm too old for this shit." Then we just carried our books in our arms like little idiots.)

my rip-off walkman would tear through batteries, so i made a big D cell canister and strapped it to the back with packing tape. people thought it was a bomb and were worried about me.

i am an introvert

Aw. <3

adorable

Why do you need music? I've had my new iPhone for 3 months and I still don't have a single song (or Spotify, etc.) on it. Just don't listen to music.

otm. also why do you need a phone? then you just have to talk to people.

nobody talks to people on phones

- am currently slightly IA that there are an uneven number of Wasa crackers in a pack. I like to enjoy them two (2) at a time and now I have one (1) spare

- rage

Buy another pack. Then you can use the odd ones to make a new pair.
