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

yeah i would never do that. i always assume asshole drivers are aggressive people who might hit you or worse.

gah last night these douchebags were trying to plow through a very large crowd after they got stuck in that above position on 14th st (a bad place to be stuck blocking the box) and some other proud pedestrian not only banged on their car but refused to move and tried to get the asshole drivers to get out of their car. my friend was quick thinking enough to get their license plate.

I've banged on the back of cars if they almost hit me. I think I've scared the shit out of some people doing it. I think they thought I was a flash mob.

I've banged on cars, mostly the ones who run red lights. I've had maybe two guys yell at me afterward, but what are they going to do, leave their car in the middle of traffic during rush hour?

what are they going to do, leave their car in the middle of traffic during rush hour?

Concealed-carry permits are getting easier and easier to come by these days.

I know, you'd think those asshole drivers would think of this when they cross me.

lol

people who make a blatant swallowing noise halfway through a sentence. makes me incandescent with rage.

I'm confident in my speed to run away from any potential conflict. They'd have to leave their car behind and chase me for miles.

I dig scooters but i hate stupid scooter riders. One dude yesterday rolling down a busy 4 lane road holding a coffee in one hand, weaving all over the place & darting in front of cars not signalling. And stupid girl today who parked her scooter on the sidewalk directly in front of handicapped parking (when there were parking spaces and other more suitable areas to park a scooter) so no handicapped ppl could actually use that widened portion of the sidewalk INTENDED for their use

some ppl are idiots

scooters are still cool

i had barely parked in a parking spot and was straightening the car, and some shitbag in an suv tried to pull straight into the next spot and kept parping her horn at me. very, very long time since i've actively wanted to jump out of the car and scream at someone

and then the parking machine swallowed all my money because governments are too special to give change

fuck today is what i'm saying

bleh

My complete irrational anger – because it's completely irrational – is aimed at the motorcycle parked in my crowded lot, taking up a whole space when he could, you know, park in the fire zone or the handicap ramp area.

So I'd rather this guy drive a car? He's got to park it somewhere legal, right? Probably my most irrational of them all.

I try to be a polite motorcycle parker by a) parking near the back of a spot so drivers know the spot is taken before they get their hopes up and b) by leaving enough room for another motorcycle or parking next to an existing motorcycle who has done the same. I've come out of stores or the gym to find two other bikes in the same spot with me.

D'aw.

I'm IA at my own internal clock. Every time I set an alarm now, I wake up 15-20 minutes early -- but I really wanted those few minutes of sleep!

And when I'm too hot with the AC set on 76, and too cold when it's set on 75.

^both way too hot imo

* voicemail systems that make you listen to a playback of your message before you have the option to delete and re-record. it normally takes me at least 3 tries to record a message I'm satisfied with, and having to listen to all my screw-ups is an excruciating waste of time.

This dude I know always speaks in this half-stoned drawl, asks questions, then basically walks away half way through the answer, citing his short attention span. Yesterday he pressured me into letting him and his friend play my guitars. He's never played electric, so he kept asking questions. "So what does this do?" Oh, you turn that and ... "Huh, this thing called treble, what does it do?" Well, you use it to ... "Do you have another amp?" Yeah, right over ... "What is that plug for?" Etc.

Then he asked me how to get Jerry Garcia's tone, which I rudely dismissed as "crappy" (out of annoyance, I admit), and he got all "hey, man, it's not cool to say it's crappy, it makes me feel really bad." I was all, you're playing guitars in my house, which I didn't want to do with you, so sorry if I'm snippy.

I almost hit him.

^both way too hot imo

agreed. 68 max

I'd be in my winter clothes year round if I set it on 68, and my light bill would bankrupt me.

I know you want my money, medical provider, because you have sent me a bill. But how about you don't make it so difficult for me to pay you? Some suggestions:

- take my copay at the time of my office visit like I asked you to, because the copay is always the same and I always have to pay it eventually and no, I really don't want you to bill the insurance company and then send me a bill, just take my money. Take it. Take the money.

- have billing office hours that correspond to normal working hours instead of your weird hours of 10-2 with a lunch break so I can call and talk to a person and pay my bill. Also answer the phone during business hours, for the love of god.

- return my calls when I follow instructions and leave a message telling you I would like to pay my bill and please call me back so I can do so.

- get into the 21st century and allow people to pay their bills online because you are like the second largest medical provider in the state, maybe the largest, I don't fucking know, and your competitors allow for online bill paying, dammit.

Tell 'em that online bill paying is even possible down in Upper Dingus, Mississippi.

I swear my copays were like my personal property taxes where I assess for the next year and pay for the last one.

"Mr. Plains, you owe us $25 for your last visit."

"That's fine. So $50 altogether?"

"No, I think you're caught up now."

"...."

Repeat

Those doorknobs even made me fill out paper work twice - once on paper, and once electronically on an iPad type thing because they are switching to electronic records. Then why am I filling out the paper records, too? *sob*

I like that doctor, but hate his entire office staff. Unfortunately, I have pretty much seen and hated every local gastroenterologist who doesn't focus on weight loss surgery so I'm stuck with this place until the next crop of GI residents open their own practices.

I take it you're not talking about the Official Doctor of ChiLX? He is part of the system you're talking about, and in his office, the switch to electronic records involved exactly one step: me giving them the email address I want associated with my account.

No, a gastroenterologist per my above post. Albeit one Dr. ChILX referred me to.

My brother burned me some metal CDrs for my birthday less than a month ago and I listened to them when I got them and then stacked them up on the table and they sat there for a little over 3 weeks. Yesterday I take them out and pop them in the CD player and after the first track EVERY TRACK SKIPS. And while this is happening I am getting so mad and thinking "What fragile little plastic pieces of crap! I have vinyl records that came out half a century ago that still play flawlessly even though visibly there are scratches and age-old wear and tear. Fuck the record industry for choosing this shitty little piece of technology!"

Really, CDs are a fucking joke. They are so dead. They should have never even come out. I'm so glad that they did, and the industry shot themselves in the foot by making us all go with a format that was destined to lead to widespread piracy rather than stick with wonderful vinyl that won't be widely copyable until the 3d printers of 2023. It's not even about "vinyl sounds warmer", it's about "when a vinyl record skips, it doesn't glitch out and start going backwards and then starts playing from 10 seconds earlier than where you were until it gets to the same spot and starts the whole torture all over again". You just pick up the needle and move it, hell sometimes it will even fix itself!

Goddamn CDs.

i've had vinyl that's skipped backwards repeatedly

ozzy osbourne doesn't count

nice

My dentist uses one of those ipad records input things. The interface is TERRIBLE.

Does your dentist's come wrapped in this weird orange plastic bumper case? Anyway, yes the interface is awful.

i'm not defending cds, they have their flaws, but i used them as my primary music medium for like 15 years and never had a whole stack of cds start skipping after just sitting out for three weeks. sounds like yr bro bought a bad batch of cd-rs or something.

My office actually went out and bought four iPads and stationed them outside of our meeting rooms.

If you want to schedule a room, you go to the iPad and blip through all the forms.

It's time-consuming, wasteful and hard on your posture since you're bending down and doing some invisible finger-painting. I keep telling my boss, I could've saved this company about two grand if you had sent me to Staples with a credit card.

I think my CD player is just really crappy.

my drs office uses an ipad interface and every time i'm there all i hear is "come on...wait, give me a minute...this thing is so slow today" etc etc. I'm beginning to suspect its the reason behind not being able to get an appointment less than 5 days in advance.

They also use it to send in prescriptions to your pharmacy of choice. This has not worked once (pharmacy didn't receive anything) unless you count the time they sent it to a completely different pharmacy and it got filled there. I mean just write me a prescription. I seriously don't mind carrying the piece of paper to the place I need to go to anyway.

friend texts me

"I hate all of the iPhone ring tones. And I don't want a song as a ringer. What are my options?"

HOW ABOUT VIBRATE LIKE A FUCKING ADULT

ahahaha WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS, HOOS????

that ipad outside of meeting rooms is so ridiculous. dont shared calendars do this job?

Here's how that went:

Scheduling:

Rooms can be scheduled two ways:

· Enter your meeting manually by walking up to the iPad outside the room.

OR

· Schedule from your desk using Google Calendar (see instructions below).

1. Go to https://www.google.com/calendar

2. Log in with email: *****@***.com

3. Password: 89u45ufoi

4. On the left under ‘My Calendars’ click the color block for the calendar you wish to see. Click ‘Create’.

5. Add your meeting name; choose day and time; click the drop-down list beside ‘Calendar’ and choose the appropriate one. Click the event color and check your chosen calendar. Click SAVE.

6. Check to make sure you see the yellow box that confirms your meeting was added and that you see it on the master calendar.

Which means everyone walks up to the iPad outside the room and enters their meeting manually.

this article made me angry because of my digestive issues:
