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

wtf @ "I'm good"

Also the fact that their search isn't more advanced by now (you can't search for an album by an artist, only one or the other).

I don't think this is true. Put "miles davis jack johnson" in the search bar and you'll see.

No you're totally wrong, I couldn't find the Jack Johnson album "Miles Davis," just some jazz rock crap.

haha, I love the "I'm good" button

Do you want to restart your computer now?

"Aight" "Nah, I'm good" "Holla at me later"

- Taboola links. Taboola, period.

- English muffins that get cornmeal and breadcrumbs everywhere.

I haven't had an English muffin in forever. I want and English muffing now.

A good, old fashioned English muffing.

oh do you know the muffing mang

gonna do some heavy duty english muffing this weekend

It sounds so dirty when you say it.

:D

Cornmeal dusting is horrible.

Cornstarch dusting, otoh...

Corn and Its Dusts

Oh. Carl was that an in-joke?

Everybody: Carl and I used to work at a casual-fine-dining Low-Country-Asian fusion restaurant and bakery where in the stinking hot Carolina summer, I would dip into the bushel of corn starch barrel and liberally apply it to my hot, clammy body.

D:

He was like a chinchilla, taking dust baths in the pantry.

We've gone over this. Daylight Savings Time is fine with me b/c it's a time of savings.

The common variants daylight savings time and daylight savings use savings by analogy to savings account.

ugh

autumnal things that make you almanacally angry

everything

I bought a hand-held vacuum from big box housewares chain Bed Bath & Beyond on Sunday. After taking it to the movies (the BB&B is a block away from the movie theater), I brought it home and tried to set it up and it was USED and FULL OF DOG HAIR. I actually spilled a little pile of some other person's dog hair out onto my lap while attempting to put it together. Gah.

So anyway, I took it back today after having a weird and frustrating morning trying and failing to communicate effectively with my colleagues and I was super psyched to be angry about this return. Like, seriously, this is the most right I have ever been about anything in my life and I was going to milk it and talk to a manager and I was really hoping they'd accuse me of using it myself and trying to return it for cash (I bought it with a rebate gift card*) so I could make a real fuss. But instead the CS rep was super nice and just like, "Oh my god, that is really gross. I am so sorry. That is awful. I am so sorry!" She got me a new one and unpacked it to make sure it wasn't also filled with dog hair (what are the odds, but still) and we completed the whole transaction in under five minutes.

Hmph.

*I bought a fancy electric toothbrush from BB&B a few months ago and sent off for a $35 rebate, which they sent to me in the form of a gift card for BB&B instead of a check, because they are huge jerks.

cannot imagine waiting tables without a steady supply of Gold Bond

Damo Suzuki's portable vagina

Went to sandwich deli for lunch today. Woman behind the counter calls my name indicating my sandwich is ready.
I approach the counter and say YES very loudly, noticing that she is a)some distance away from the counter where she would be handing me my sandwich, and b) she is facing away from me, still at the sandwich station wrapping my sandwich. She doesn't turn around, and she calls my name again.
I say YES again, louder, muttering about how it would help if she was actually a) facing me and b)handing me the sandwich
She calls my name a third time and thank christ she turned around this time and handed me the sandwich.
I wasn't sure if I was going to have to climb over the counter to retrieve the sandwich from her. Idk, I guess they're used to people not responding when their name is called? It was bizarre.

that reminds me of that eric clapton song: would you know my name / if i saw you yelling it while making my sandwich

haha

where did this come from??? what an obnoxious thing to say!

ftr, it's only annoying as fuck when it's used as a passive-aggressive imperative

you don't get to choose in which circumstances etc etc..

I don't want to start an endless flood of posts about macros, but something about this "One does not simply ___ ___" gifs

I hear winter is coming too.

I don't like musical guests on otherwise-non-musical shows. Unless there's a band I already like, I don't want musicians robbing me of time when I should be otherwise entertained. Fucking bands interrupt a podcast I otherwise really enjoy.

Me neither. There were some good performances on Chappelle show, but you know, I kinda just wanted to watch some Chappelle.

Young Ones worked around it - sorta.

this kind of attitude:
