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

"Extra cold" beer. "Extra cold" beer makes me irrationally fucking livid.

^^ isnt this just a simpsons joke

the similar "ice cold" doesn't make me irrationally angry but any beer that's supposed to be consumed like that is literal piss.

cheap-ass lying new-fangled toasters that don't toast bread the first time around and you have to re-toast again on the same setting. 9 settings to toast everything from a bagel to toaster pastries and defrost settings and cancel buttons and it can't do the thing it's named after? CAN WE NOT MAKE ANYTHING WORTH A SHIT? A TOASTER? REALLY? CMON.

sorry. I really love my toast, man.

I think I bitched about this on the disgusting savages thread, but since there is queue rage here:
people whose idea of joining a queue is standing alongside the person at the back and creeping a bit further ahead of them every time it moves.

This especially bugs me because I am a Johnny No-Mates who is often alone in queues where most people are in groups, e.g. for flights or music events, so it isn't as obvious to anyone else as it would be for an orderly single-file queue. You can probably get pretty far this way, too, if each person first notices you when you're beside and a bit behind them, then you're beside and ahead of them but they think "ah well, it's only one space, probably an accident, no need to say anything", then you're too far away for them to say anything.

The bewildering tenacity of this combined beardy nazi youth meets jaunty deckhand via Haircut 100 member look among certain young London menfolks.

not innocuous at all imo

People who double click on hyperlinks. I tell them they are losing several milliseconds of their life every time they do this. They don't care.

I've witnessed IT trainers doing this.

coworker sent out an e-mail blast this morning to just let everybody know she had seen our Ass't Secretary (basically the junior-est appointed official we work under) on television and that "he did well."

I'm getting angry just posting about it here and this was like 12 hours ago! YOU ARE TOTALLY USELESS WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REMIND EVERYONE BY E-MAILING US TO TELL US YOU WATCH TELEVISION

?

welp

When ppl post links on ilx that I've already seen at least 2 days previously.

Amazon reviews. I want to punch 95% of reviewers in the face.

i hate those tv commercials for movies where they insert nightvision shots of the audience reacting wildly (usually they do this for shitty horror flicks.)

giant logs of dog shit in the front of my office.

Giant logs of dogshit anywhere imo. Disgusting animals.

My wife went in to work the other day to find huge piles of human turds by the photocopier

whoa waht

also trayce i will try to teach henry never to poop again but i am not optimistic

haha yeah i'd say that's more on the owners than the doggs

Haa, I know, I mean I have a cat and cats poop in boxes inside houses, so I cant talk. I dunno, it all grosses me out.

Ugh my inlaws have a Mastiff, a German Shepherd and a Great Pyrenees-cross...backyard pooperscoopering is something else.
You can fill a 5 gallon bucket without even trying.

u_u

They have a massive backyard though. But still. Giant, walking poop machines.

God, I'd completely forgotten about the movie, totally blanked from my mind.

hahah "Harry Plopper"

failure of a driver (of a car in which I am riding) to adjust the wiper rate to an appropriate frequency.

cosine. have a little self-respect.

thirded. truly maddening!

What pisses me off is fluctuating levels of participation that require me to constantly adjust the wiper rate.

xxpst my friend worked for a large investment company and they had a serial shitter who would randomly take dumps on peoples desk. I'd say he was disgruntled.

haha sometimes i even forget the wipers are on long after they are needed, drives my wife crazy.

^^^disgusting savage

i mean who the fuck does something like that?

that's seriously effed up.

i forget! self-respect isnt even an option

sometimes i'll have them off/going too slow while the water is piling up too, she wonders how i can see. i guess i can somehow, we're alive don't ask me

lol I meant the dude pooping on people's desks that Chris said about...though forgetting to turn off your wipers IS pretty effed up :)

just went outside to smoke and there is a giant fresh pile of DISGUSTING DOG SHIT. Im going to hang a sign out there. PLEASE PICK UP YOUR GIANT DOG TURDS! I can fucking smell it in my office.

fucking irresponsible owners.

i keep the wipers on intermittent even in terrible storms and i forget to ever turn it off

Sometimes you turn the wipers on and your visibility decreases, depending on how dirty your windshield is.

I can see through the drops so no problem.

rain x

It's raining too hard when I need it and when it's dry enough to put on, I don't need it anymore.

yall need to smoke weed

I got this one ^

Lock thread

Those fucking 'Wishing Well' cards that come with wedding invitations, that say, in bad poetry, 'We've been shacked up for years so we have all the home stuff we need, but now we're getting married, give us lots of cash'. Fuck you!

I've never seen one of those cards. How dickish!

Here's some samples to induce rage: http://www.bridesofaustralia.com/Wishing_Well_Wording_Poem.html
