Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

i have tried to live responsibly and make good choices but i hate hate HATE that i have arrived at a point, and more specifically a place, in my life where i have to pronounce the name Anthony with a soft 'th'

^^^

Where were you before that you pronounced it otherwise?

the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland

I have heard people on the east coast of These United States pronounce it like Ant-knee but I can't remember where exactly.

Also maybe I made that up. I don't know.

what does a hard "th" sound like?

want to be clear i am not insisting on a rightness/wrongness, which is why i chose this partic forum to get it off my chest

ANN ton knee

actually, there is a specific wrongness which is really only tangentially related which is saying roman fellow mark antony's name with a 'th', this is a thing i have actually heard, entirely rational anger there tho

hey if that's the way he wants it pronounced, who are you to argue with a guy playing a jack daniels bass.

In the 17th century, the letter "h" was inserted into the spelling on the mistaken belief that the name derived from the Greek word ανθος (anthos), meaning "flower".[4]

I have heard people on the east coast of These United States pronounce it like Ant-knee but I can't remember where exactly.

I've heard this on TV, and I think I recall Tony Soprano's wife calling him either "Ant-knee" or "An-to-knee."

nb: the k in knee is silent

want to be clear i am not insisting on a rightness/wrongness, which is why i chose this partic forum to get it off my chest

you chose wrong pal

i don't understand but i am ok with that

NO YOU'RE NOT

my late brooklyn landlady's son is named ant-ny. he lives in it-ly

his favorite white stripes song is 'the hardest buh-un to buh-un'

My wife's maiden name is Marr 'enn, like the comedian.

Oh RS I thought you meant you preferred saying "anfonee".

ime there are the following types of ant(h)onys:

- anthonys who are regularly pronounced wrong and spelled wrong, and spend far too much time time trying to correct everyone

- anthonys who claim to not care ('really it's fine') and are visibly fatigued by anyone who spends more than five seconds discussing it

- antonys who are mispronounced and/or misspelled by the ~1/3 of people who don't pay attention

- tonys who got sick of all that shit a long time ago

^^^manager material

My computer keeps rejecting hard drives. Not sure why, maybe i need more memory but it's doing my head in. I transfer material over to a hard drive and then a while later the computer just pops up a ballon saying taht the drive is no longer usable.
Something fucked up going on here and I think it has possibly just lost me all he photos I've taken over the last year on a different drive. NOt sure if permanently or if reinstalling Windows would be the answer. If I did need to do that I would need to be able to transfer material off the central drive, but the computer keeps rejecting hard drives after I've set them up and got them running.

Getting breakfast, cereal flakes arranged in such a way that when milk is poured, it hits a big flat flake at the top of the bowl and just bounces right out and all over the counter

There seems to be no good inexpensive water filter product on the market anymore. We went through three Brita pitchers and all (different models) had the same problem with the actual pitcher falling apart, the lid not staying on etc. Then we switched to Pur, and the filters are so slow that after a week it seems to take about an hour for the pitcher to fill.

not sure whether i've mentioned the disgusting use of semicolons in place of colons but i'm SO stabby about this atm

Hurting: we've had one of these for a couple of years with no issues, I think because it has no complex moving parts. It's hard to find filters but we did the Amazon subscription for them, which is nice bc that is how I remember to change it.

i like tap water

Me too after it runs through a filter to get the weird taste that our house's old ass pipes add to it.

ass pipes

i think i know what the weird taste is

australians are having moods today

?

ass moods

Ass pipes ass pipes
Whatchoo gonna do
Whatchoo gonna do when they pipe on you

That filter is too slow, I just drink pure tap.

When you're in a hotel, and housekeeping merely knocks, without saying 'housekeeping' or anything, and then without leaving even a moment to respond, attempts to walk in.

like...is the cursory 3-4 second pause in which I could offer a "please come back in an hour" or "ok" too long to wait?

Oh god, the number of times I've actually had to run and hide from overeager housekeeping because a simple "no thanks" is apparently too confusing. Two, that is the number of times.

I basically never want housekeeping to enter my room, maybe only once per hotel stay. I tell them this upfront and they still try and do it.

Last two places had signs saying "if you want fresh towels leave them on the floor, otherwise hang them on the rails". Great, now how should I indicate I don't need my bed made every day either?

place a drawing of the dude from Trainspotting in the middle of it

Are you putting the do not disturb sign on your doorknob? They're supposed to skip your room if that sign is there and come back to it later (if you ever take it down).

Some hotels have cards you can put on your bed telling housekeeping that they needn't change the sheets, but they will still make the bed.

I usually put the sign on my doorknob, but sometimes I forget. and sometimes they come really early. it wasn't even 9 am this morning. lord!

I had the double bolt locked tho so they couldn't get in.

yeah the do not disturb hanger has been around for like hundreds of years where you been ledge

then they call you and ask you "when can we changes yr sheets" and Louis CK gets angry
