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

We have a real estate column at the paper and Kum & Go is making its forays into our market. If I have to edit something one more time about an LLC out of West Des Moines, Iowa.....

And really. Kum & Go?

I really hate non-metalheads that post 'funny GIFs' about 'metal' people that are only funny to people who know nothing about heavy metal

hahaha you are getting Kum & Go

speaking of radio: people are usually from a place, except on music radio, where they're 'out of' a place

'that was a band out of portugal'

I blame these dudes:

Are your open to a 15 minute "discovery" call with me next week to see 
if there is a potential opportunity to expand the conversation with members of your team?

A "discovery" call?

Naked Skype, pretty sure.

do people do that? naked skype? kind of wondered

If you can use technology for sex, I imagine somebody has done so.

I'm always behind the useful technology curve, getting all the useless gadgets and missing out on essentials like this naked skype

people caused a traffic jam today by standing on an overpass with crude IMPEACH OBAMA and DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION signs

when people in a drive thru insist on 'checking their order' in the drive thru lane for like 5 minutes, blocking or partially inhibiting people from passing them, instead of just PULLING INTO A SPACE THAT IS LESS THAN 100 FEET AWAY TO DO IT THERE IN PEACE.

I think they're thinking "If I park away from the window and then come back with a 'missing item' claim the worker will think I'm faking (stashed item in car)."

No less annoying.

"oh, ye think im gonna fall for the olde 'hide the hamburger in the glovebox than come say ye didn't get one' trick? Off with ya! next!"

You don't want to pull away because then you'll have to get back in line or go inside.

But you do want to check it fast. Best piece of advice I ever heard was to count the items in the bag. You get a double taco, burrito supreme, order of nachos and a regular taco. 1-2-3-4, that's four things. If you get home and you got two double tacos or a nachos supreme, hey it's tacotown.

admittedly I don't closely check my bag, though I"ll always know if they left out the fries as I eat them while I drive, and usually by the time I drive the 1 mile home, they're already gone.

the wendy's by my office is the fastest drivethru I've ever been to -- you pull up to the second window after paying and they're practically throwing your food in your car and glaring at you while you get back into gear to drive away

like no shit they're leaning out the window with yr bag of food before you've even said 'hello' - it almost feels like you're insulting them to check the bag (but I do anyway)

pplains otm with the # count, it's only way not to be a slow pain in the ass

the guy today tho didn't even check his food right away, at the window. This guy got his food, then pulled forward like 200 feet to where he was at the far end of the drive through lane, well away from the window, but still in everybody's way, and he was just sitting, idling there. I had already gotten MY food and was trying to drive away but he was still sitting there until he figured out "uh dur, someone behind me would like to leave" and finally moved.

lame

first rule of drive through is FUCKING KEEP MOVING GODDAMMIT

only in florida can you drive 200 feet away from the window and still be in everyone's way.

I've gotten lost in the driveway of an Ormond Beach applebees before.

My grandmother and I watched a local news story last week about a guy who called 911 when McD's fucked up his drive through order. They interviewed him and he actually seemed pretty normal. He said he learned you should always check your order before you leave the window.

a woman in a shitty cafe near my work has three times made rude comments behind my back (so she thinks) because i didn't hear her call my name. every time she thought she was getting away with it, except once when she saw me catching her scowl at me. i've just done a load of web reviews calling her out for being crap at stealth snark, and even now i am ia about that woman.

Wait, eh? She works at the cafe, and you Yelp-dissed her?idgi

lol

dude jamming up my facebook feed with over-filtered instagram photos of NYC, the city in which we both live. Really tired of instagram filters in general, especially on your otherwise boring photo of a deli.

I had that happen with a friend who moved to Detroit and took it upon herself to document every single abandoned house or building there. Bold, daring choice as I was completely unaware that Detroit has experienced such strife.

csv files in excel where you forget to just close without saving to save it, and instead when you try to save and it asks you to override and you say yes and then it asks you if you know you will lose formatting and you say yes and then it asks you if you know there's an existing file by that name and you say yes and it's like 900 dialog boxes just to get out of the fucking thing jesus CHRIST wtf

also i've tried to turn off all the HP printer dialog boxes because I sit right next to the printer and hey guess what I can hear/see stuff printing don't need to have three giant simultaneous dialogs flashing all over my screen gaaah leave me alone

homes built on slabs. ugh.

no basements in your part of the country, right?

the "blaring warning horn" sound option for ringtones/email alerts/whatever on phones

xxxp YES the goddamned .csv file closing thing. I just reach down and power my PC off in anger.

A guy left me a voice mail in which he was very loud and clear on only totally unimportant words. "Hey there, this is Bob whisper-mumble. I need mumble-mumble. The whisper that mumble-whisper sent me was mumble. AAANYWAY, just calling to let you know that. Give me a call! My number is mumble-mumblemumble-mumble-mumblezggrzzkkmumblemumble-mumble. Thanks."

No basements. Plenty of snakes.

Fire trucks storming through downtown streets (where I work) multiple times a day, every day, WHERE ARE THEY GOING? This isn't NYC, downtown is sparsely populated, why put a station right in the middle of it.

I get nervous looking at something like this

xposting like a nut

xpost fyi fire engines are often first reponders for 911 calls so it's not just fires that they're going to
also if your city is kinda oldish then fire station is usually center of town just because of oldtimey planning before suburbs became a factor

not to rob you of your ia but it just seems like kind of a weird thing to be IA about

When I was visiting my small town parents, my mom and I were coming out of a store and we heard sirens and my mom perked up and was looking out towards the road to see if she could figure out... I don't know what she wanted to figure out but it was just weird because they hardly even registered for me. It is like the time that I was watching the news with my grandmother (news, Judge Judy, and BBC comedies, that is our jam) and the leading story was that a house was on fire in Millsboro. One house, surrounded by fields, nobody trapped inside. Just a house burning down.

People who insist that iPhone videos should never be vertical. It's a 1-minute video of my toddler doing something stupid and funny, not a new print of a Bergman film! Maybe I just wanted her whole head and body to be visible without standing five feet away.

a harddrive containing a folder of music is not showing anything inside it listed alphabetically beyond the letter F. I can see 2 torrents going into that folder with names beginning with T & V, which when the open containing folder option is opted for , open to show contents of teh folders in question but when you take the step up folder option they are nowhere to be seen. What the hell is going on? Are these folders going to be permanently lost ? Am I just about to face the hard drive losing coherence and therefore the contents?
Not liking this at all.

What you're supposed to do with those vertical shots is put them side-by-side with similar shot in iMovie to get that "Woodstock" split-screen effect. Use the wipe-screen transition to get your dirty work done. #iPhone #lifehack

people who continue their conversations in crowded, otherwise quiet elevators, forcing everyone else to awkwardly listen to every word you say amplified by the walls

and it's obviously awkward for them too! suddenly their conversation has an audience and they either get really nervous about it or they love the attention and start talking even louder

loud person: "so yeah, i was thinking about taking thursday and friday off."
nervous person: "yeah, you would!"
loud person: "you know, instead of monday and tuesday."
nervous person: "yeah, you would!"

Moments when I LET myself get gouged on something. Tonight had to bring K, stroller and a couple bags home and realized I couldn't really do it alone on the subway so tried to hail a cab, but there are just no yellow cabs available, so finally a black cab honks and pulls over and I give him the nod. I'm already putting the stuff in the trunk when suddenly it dawns on me to ask "How much is this going to be?" -- he quotes a price that's like 60% more than a yellow cab, but I'm pretty much stuck at this point.

o shit

you totally get karma pts for not taking all that on the subway tho

yeah, especially since "all that" would have included a screaming toddler

oh well, he was a really nice dude and showed me pics of his grandkids. Maybe because he knew he was overcharging me ha.

i get mad when i do that kind of thing or get parking tickets or lose something, etc. but all the times that's happened i've made the money back and forgotten about it. i try to think of it that way at least.

People who use "priorities" to mean "stuff that is important" in a distinctly NON prioritizing way.

Comes up in vague political discussion a lot -- "what does this say about priorities?" GTFO, unless you are actually making a choice between one thing that YOU want and another, you are not actually talking about priorities.
