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

I hate when people ask me "Are you ready to go?" to something and I say my goodbyes or get my jacket and get ready to leave and then we all spend half an hour just standing around shooting the shit and not actually going anywhere. This is extra annoying after a show, when there is a house party or other show we could go to, that everyone has decided we should go to, yet we just end up hanging out in a near-empty parking lot instead of going to a rad party.

That's why I arrange to meet people at places instead. I hate it when that happens.

AGHHHH yes
worst case in point: after a NYE party we left a nice warm apartment party then everyone made us stand outside in the RAIN nearly missing the free Muni home

my parents do this 'all right, better hang up' thing and then talk for 28 minutes about an errant weed in the driveway

xp But then I am also that reeeeeally tedious person who badgers everyone else until they decide to do something besides stand around.

if someone says 'yeah give me 10 minutes' then rest assured I will be standing in front of them with an expectant look on my face in exactly 10 minutes

let's GO, lollygaggers

i tried to find updates for win7 to get the jump on it hassling me with that windows update restart/postpone popup. while it was searching for updates, the windows update restart/postpone popup popped up. i clicked restart and win7 said it couldn't because two programs were open:

1. some admin desktop mgmt tool which was nagging me to restart (uh i was trying to do exactly that)
2. WINDOWS UPDATE

seriously, what the hell

ilx thing that makes me irrationally angry -- thread derails where people just start free-associating/riffing with gifs based on a word or pun, e.g. the "trigger" posts in the facebook thread

So like.. most of ilx.

I agree though. Also the constant jokers.

I don't even mind the jokes when they're good, it's mindless shit that bothers me, like someone posts something with the words "I'm hot" and it gets followed by a this is why I'm hot gif and then a picture of the band hot hot heat

yeah, uninspired word association

ilx, today:

Speaking of windows update, I went to run it a while ago (I have it switched off of auto update) and it said I had to update windows update before I could update o_0

WELCOME TO WINDOWS WORMHOLE

little, ugly record label logos in the corners of otherwise nice album art

White people that go on about how 'crackerous' other white people are. Just stfu.

That's mighty white of you to consider that.

had an instance of people telling me i'm wrong about something today - signing new lease. for *twelve years* i've always got a 3rd party (ie someone at work) to witness my signature. secretary at letting agency told me today that one of them in the office *always* does it.

Hoping I get a better night's sleep tonight cos I realised after leaving the course this afternoon that what had screwed up my last attempt at making a CAD template was my having practised the template on a 2nd page of the previous one. So I presumably had a double reference or something which prevented it from working. & I can only be doing taht on lack of sleep and thought of a retake exam tomorrow.

God I'm looking forward to 3D next week and being able to sleep in over the weekend.

Loud ringtones in films/TV somehow making me think it's my phone that's ringing - even when it isn't my ringtone.

But TV doorbells that make the dog get up are always funny.

I often have the pleasure of watching Kenny Whippet going bonkers at any animal he sees on TV - especially goats.

Songs w/ sirens in them used to freak me out when I drove. Most notably, The Creatures "Speeding."

Yeah I don't know if I consider Sacred Bones for example ugly but it certainly takes away from the individuality of the album art for their releases. Bothers me.

i was thinking of the Arbiter label, which puts out awesome cover art marred by this corny little elephant in the corner

You know what Google, when I put a phrase in quotes I actually mean that I only want you to return results that contain that exact phrase in quotes. I know how to do a motherfucking wild card search, you patronizing piece of shit.

This sends me into a blind rage on a near-daily basis

I do a crap ton of research on Google Scholar and it's nearly useless when I can't refine my search using their own god damn search operators that they ignore because they think they know more than I do about what I'm looking for lakdjsf;alksdjf;alksdfj

also often I have to put SINGLE WORDS in quotes because otherwise they return results that DON'T CONTAIN THAT WORD

I KNOW RIGHT?????

They need to have an option to do a natural language search or an operator search, like Lexis and Westlaw do.

While I'm at it, I also want to be able to sort legal search results by year, newest first, and by court, appellate then district. And I want a pony. A pony that will finish writing this motion so I can go take a nap.

motion carried

naptime upheld

all in favor

jfc someone posted "Let It Be released 43 years ago today." with a YT of the full album and this shit makes me fume

43 years

are you going to do this every single year with every single beatles album until the end of time

the appropriate 43rd anniversary gift is "a single button that fell off your shirt", that's how unimportant 43 is

when you're 43 you'll understand

I'm 43 where's my button ;_;

ALBUMS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS

Band on the Run turns 40 this year. Now that's something to think about.

the absolute worst google thing is when you search for a word and it goes 'showing results for' followed by some other word it THINKS you meant

fuck
you
