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

- crumbs on my mousepad

- motherfuckers who are nosing out of the driveway of a parking lot onto a 4-lane road and decide that THEY want to turn left against the flow of traffic and look at every passing driver like we murdered their children for not letting them cross. Just go around the block you fucking asshat

- ridiculous weirdo who pulled his hatchback into the NO PARKING area between two handicapped parking spaces (you know, the part that gives the handicapped driver room to get out of their car and such) -- he had his hazard lights on, but had in the meantime put up his silver windshield protector and was fucking around on his phone and seemed to be waiting for someone to do a quick spot of shopping. He was literally SURROUNDED by empty parking spaces. Why the fuck are you pulling in there?

ugh. people.

- crumbs on my mousepad

And they'll only take it from my cold dead fingers if I have anything to say about it.

omg I just started using a trackball mouse at work, and I'm falling in love with it. so much so I am considering getting one for home

My desk has so much shit on it, there's no way that I could move a mouse more than two inches in either direction.

i think i have a potential solution to your problem

*an alternative potential solution

If it's something cute like "clean off your desk," I would advise you to think hard before posting that on the irrationally angry interent thread.

actually it was a wall-mounted mouse pad

Well, I've got the wall-mounted mouse already...

-pizza places that don't sell pizza by the slice

-stores with inconsistent unit prices. unless you're really good at mental arithmetic, it's hard to compare values when all the smaller tubes of toothpaste are labeled in dollars per pound and the larger ones in dollars per ounce. I think I've even seen situations where an item is priced by volume and similar items are priced by weight, which makes the comparison truly impossible (unless you happen to know the density of pudding)

(mixed that up -- the smaller tubes are labeled in dollars per ounce and the larger ones in dollars per pound)

when UPS and/or Fedex give "window of time" estimates that seem to be nothing other than "lol we're just fucking with you" emails.

granted, UPS it don't matter cuz I did that MyChoice program where I signed away the ability for them to leave packages when I'm not home in all circumstances, but here I am, waiting for FedEx to arrive (by the noon time they estimated) cos I don't want to head out to lunch and come back to one of those stupid stickers.

The other day at crappy grocery store by house I saw two products of the exact same weight and exact same price w/ different unit prices. That calls everything into question.

finally!!! a coffeeshop with kids running around in it!

Finish off the old milk on the day after it allegedly expired, pleased with self that it smellstastes OK. Need a bit of new milk to fill uop cereal bowl. Look down at kitchen counter and realise have no idea which lid is the nice new one, and which has the manky old cream in it.

someone is leaving open cans of cat food in the gutter near my car. My suspicions are the across the street neighbors, whose cat it is, who have maybe decided since the cat likes the shade on our side of the street they should put the food there too. There's empty cat food tins on their side of the street also.

Whatever. I don't care who it is.

IT'S FUCKING SUMMER. HAVE YOU BEEN OUTSIDE EVER? HOT CAT FOOD STINKS AND ATTRACTS INSECTS AND IF YOU LEAVE IT NEAR MY CAR I AM GOING TO THROW IT AWAY.

honestly I'm surprised that they feed it, since that cat is hella dirty and gross and full of fleas

i hate my across the street neighbors so much. I'm trying not to take it out on their disease-ridden cat.

mothers-to-be who post their positive pregnancy tests on FB. ok yay congrats you're with child WTF WOMAN YOU PEED ON THAT THING.

how at grocery stores they spray water on the vegetables to "keep them fresh" but you end up putting soggy greens in a bag and then after they sit in your fridge for a couple of days they start rotting because you've got wet plants in a bag

xp you know it's just a picture and you can't get pee on you from it though?

It's just gross imo - the last thing I'd think about after a pregnancy test is taking out my phone and snapping a picture. Why can't people just announce stuff without instagramming it?

<3 to that triad of vg posts

this emotion w me these days usually comes when a website anomalously takes ~10 seconds to load. it's rly bad.

spraying the vegetables actually DOES "keep them fresh"

My dad, who was very frugal, would always sling the water off the vegetables b/c he didn't want to pay for water that added extra weight. I do it too b/c of frugality and b/c it keeps the vegetables from getting rotten like n/a describes.

ia: people who, as a rule, can't spell or punctuate correctly, ever. look, i'm sympathetic to the "descriptivist" pov that says language and usage are fluid concepts, but: most of us strive to find some kind of agreed-upon happy medium anyway. when you're a terrible speller/user of your native language/etc., it signals to me that you probably don't read much, or pay attention much. maybe even that there's something wrong with your brain function. (i'm not talking about people who have certain words that they always get wrong, or stuff that's complicated even for a scripps spelling-bee contestant. i consider myself a very good speller and i have words i struggle with from time to time.)

take this with a grain of salt -- my ilx posts are mostly in lowercase.

just for you, gb.

On Occasion, if you forget / Run out.

when i see capitalized nouns, i'm all "do u like hitler"

I'm angrier at baby-related communications that are only addressed to mothers (aka "mom's") and not fathers, because only mom's change their Kidz diapers' and wipes'.

otm

See also a onesie I saw on Pinterest that said

DAD
Keep
Calm
and
Call
MOM

Fuck you, onesie. FUCK YOU.

there are still so many stores and restaurants that only have the diaper changing tables in the women's restroom. which is great when your spouse is with you and you can offload diaper changing responsibilities to them with a good excuse, but not so great when you're out with the kid by yourself and need to change a diaper.

Discovering the magical "family" changing room has been of the best things about fatherhood.

Sometimes, Beeps, Hammer and I will go into the one at Walmart and just hang out as if we're waiting on a flight inside the Qantas Club.

- when people composing written communications on a computer write (sp?) after something that they misspelled instead of using spell check or looking up the correct spelling on the magical machine that they are using to write the communications.
- my mom just did this in an email to me. ;_;
- I'm almost as disappointed as I was when she switched her party affiliation from democrat to republican.

People who never capitalize (capitalise?) anything make me a little IA. Totally I, but A nonetheless. I mean, too cool for the Shift key? Too busy? Overreacting against German?

otm

not too cool. i love german. i just started typing this way one day and got a little too used to it. weirdly, ilx is the only social-media place where i type this way. fb/twitter/mefi all get sentence case.

"come get a piece of this, schwantzy."

I first skipped caps around 1987 after reading Airport, in which a secretary refused to use capitalization (removed caps from her typewriter, IIRC). But during a crash or other crisis, her boss ordered her to use GD capitals! And she was like, "Sir, yes, sir!!"
