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

Had to google that because I definitely thought you were referencing a brand of underwear...

Like this. Also the name of Lane Bryant's line of underwears makes me IA, too.

Although I kind of like the idea of me going back in time and somebody thinking my name was Cacique because it was embroidered on my underpants.

"You've had a severe startle, Mr Of the Loom"

(ok obv that's not embroidered but I don't get very adventurous w/ the underwear I wear)

that reminds me of cacık

Ha!

-People who show up at parties and expect to be greeted with thunderous applause and cessation of activity

You know Fonzie?

Also people on the phone who ask for telephone numbers and wait until you are half way through to mention they don't have a pen and have to run off to find one.

I do this every time. I don't know why. But I don't ever mention that I don't have a pen, I just run around frantically like an idiot looking for a pen while I pretend that I'm writing it down.

Or when people constantly interrupt to confirm the number before you can even get two digits out.

My number is five-four "RIGHT, FIVE...WHAT? FIVE FOUR?" Yes, five-"YOU ALREADY SAID FIVE; ARE THERE TWO FIVES?" No, just one. The number is five-four-sev-"WAIT, WHAT'S AFTER FOUR? HOW MANY FIVES?"

^^ !!!

ugh

Containers that are designed to stop you getting stuff out of them - like the bit at the bottom of a peanut butter jar that's wider than the rest of the jar.

YES x 1000

and moisturizer bottles where the pump doesn't reach all the way down & you have to upend the whole stupid thing for half an inch of lotion

Yes! Or have at it with a knife. At least the flimsier ones.

ia not at "drunken noodles" or "drunken goat" cheese or w/e, but at the shameless alcoholic basic beyotches who order these things because LOL BOOZE PARTY I CAN HAS SOJU APPLE MARTINI WITH BOBA

guess my main ia here is when there are two dozen great things to eat on the menu and ppl go straight to the "drunken" whatever because "haha it sez drunken letz get wasted"

Oh gross people really do that? People older than 11, I mean?

Dear Oracle,

I still do not want to install the Ask toolbar, and I find it kind of vulgar that the 5th-richest person in the world (source: some Google result I didn't read) apparently wants to grub around for small change by tricking people into not noticing that the installer for almost-weekly Java updates automatically defaults to "Yes, please install some shitty crapware like you normally got loaded with rubbish shareware ten years ago" every single time, no matter how often the user has already said "No".

Also, many of your products are hilariously bad, and I especially like how your Financials range doesn't even work unless you have a dangerously out-of-date version of Java, as owned by, oohhh... you.

Love and kisses etc.

(perhaps this is one for the worst tech company thread but it was hard enough to find this thread with the Java installer using all my CPU)

ha, i had that just this morning too and refused the update. the ask toolbar is bad enough but the 'this may uninstall older versions of java' disclaimer scares me - company still uses java 1.5 to compile some of its legacy stack.

omg i hate it i hate it with a fire

Listicles are starting to make me irrationally angry. Esp since every single one seems to have at least one instance of the "writer" emphasizing something via the period. at. the. end. of. every. word. thing. Which itself makes me IA even when not in a listicle.

I think this thrillist post I saw shared on FB was also reminding me how that site makes me IA.

Recipes that are written in an irrational order such that you waste time, and realize this about 1/4 of the way in and get IA with yourself for not checking whether or not the recipe writer had bothered presenting it in a sensible order.

otm

Someone has put our deflated, yet still human-height mascot costume in the corner of the main bathroom, because we have no other storage space left--every time I go in there, before the slow fluoro lights kick in, I see this figure lurking in the corner in the gloom, like the guy at the end of Blair Witch

irrationally terrified?

Fuck. That. Shit.

Better than marbles in the medicine cabinet, ya snoop!

i assume the 'Java Auto Update' task bar thing will stop flashing eventually. it's been only 2 minutes so far.

The council or whatever body have erected weird telegraph posts to hold nets so that when the new term begins the school on the side of the park can use one of the large expanses of grass as a sports field. As far as that goes its ok, one could just walk under the nets and between the poles. I just looked out to find out that they are now constructing fencing under the poles which means cutting across the field/grass as I used to will be made much more difficult.
& that's supposed to be a public space. So really annoyed that how to walk across an open public space is going to be dictated in future. I'm hoping that this isn't about to be an announcement that since this is now a school sport field it is no longer a public space.

Large, tall nets are for gaelic football btw. That has goal posts in H shape that have points scored for going over the cross bar as well as under. I don't really know the game but I have seen that much. I thought when the nets went up that that would be the total of the inconvenience and it would at least prevent balls from landing in the adventure playground and on people walking down the footpaths around the park.

If they are introducing control to the park in any way I wish they'd do something about the diog owners allowing their dogs to foul everywhere. Still not seen anything up to suggest anything along the lines of that is your dog, if it messes that is your responsibility , children play here and they shouldn't be having to deal with dog mess and the possibility of ensuing disease.

I have wished "Die in a fire" innumerable times on the universe in general and on particular individuals. I am surprised that karma has not (yet?) visited at least second-degree burns on me.

I have 2 good friends on FB who are kinda clueless about technology...they both insist on crowdsourcing answers to their endless, stupid tech support questions solely on FB

and half the shit is like, jfc if you just googled your own question you'd have an answer in less than the time it takes for all your dipshit friends to 'weigh in'

one friend in particular has been posting for a week about her stupid new phone and syncing and how do i this and why can't i that and RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGe

"Clever" birth announcements.

Oh the poor thing has ALS, I see.

people who would gladly participate in charades or a scavenger hunt

i really hate people who turn their hands into a heart

also i think those people ^^^ shouldn't have a child

I don't understand the ice thing.

His testicles ache from makin babies so hard.

Ice ice baby.

It really bugs me when things that don't need instructions come with instructions. Like toothpaste. Also, at the store down the street they sell lighters billed as "multi-use." It's a fucking lighter. Just because there is space for copy does not mean you need more copy.

Scavenger hunts are awesome, though. A former classmate of mine who became a hunky actor on TV runs a pretty giant one: https://www.gishwhes.com/

If toothpaste didn't come with instructions then I wouldn't see the word "erwt-grootte" nestling among the Dutch instructions twice daily and this would make my life poorer

This is rational but fuck it: people who are unable to express anything verbally in a concise, precise manner. It's almost always older men. They can't just tell you what they want, they have to give you the whole backstory with ample digressions. Also file with people who call you on the phone and then are like "uh.... well I'm looking for uh... well I don't know how to explain it but..." Basically people who don't think about what they want to say before they say it and just say that one thing.

This is rational but fuck it: people who are unable to express anything verbally in a concise, precise manner.

yes. also, people who don't have their wallets/fare cards/etc. ready at the point of transaction and spend minutes digging for them.
