start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

I do get irrationally angry at the sight of a really long, thin sitting room, such bad design and a waste of living space, does that count? :)

Try Zoopla, you can filter out new builds and do keywords.

the advert for new apartments that said "50% sold out!"

Always a little creepy shopping at a mall with a 50% no vacancy rate.

at lunch today, the women standing at the salsa bar talking about how many "sauces" they were going to get.

she's not wrong

I hate those stiff little animated fingers that demonstrate how to fuckin play Candy Crush or some shit on the app ads.

I agree, it's a suspect device.

indeed salsa is Spanish for sauce, but in my parts you get zinged for saying salsa instead of hot sauce

Not a fan of lawn plastic animals. Sometimes they look so real it’s tweaked out

My mom lives in a place where it's not unusual to see deer darting around, and someone who lives on the highway near her house had a life-size plastic deer in their front yard for years. I used to get IA every time we passed by, wondering how many people had swerved and nearly caused an accident upon seeing a deer standing right next to the road.

How often did it get shot?

Not often enough, clearly.

lol nickn
yr post did not get the appreciation it deserves

Every freaking time.

xp
ty

when you open a door to leave a public toilet, and the door handle is wet, and you don't know whether the person before you washed their hands or pissed on them

i know shopping trolleys/carts are the cliche of IA

but motherfuckers who just leave a trolley in the middle of an empty parking space NEXT TO THE TROLLEY RETURN.

it’s right there.

assholes.

xpost or pissed on the handle

or washed the handle.

Pissed on their hands to wash them

Bingo.

Currently hating searching twitter on mobile

- I click the spyglass icon to search
- It shows me a list of trends and fucking "moments"
- I click the search box
- It shows me my recent searches but doesn't give me a keyboard to search or place the cursor in the search box
- I click in the search field again
- Three clicks and I finally get to search!
- It shows me some "top" results from six months ago

All above worse if it decides to include results for a similar search phrase like a shitty version of Google's shitty annoying search

Hand soap dispensers where you squeeze the soap out, it comes down and touches your skin, but when you pull your hand away the soap stays attached to the dispenser and then falls onto the sink, leaving your hands as filthy as they started

Hand soap dispensers whose nozzles aim a glob of whitish soap goo unerringly at the crotch of your jeans.

Why do you, random person, log in, look at customers' questions about products on Amazon, and answer them like this?

Question: What is the main differences between the breeze ii and the breeze iii? other than the price.
Answer: I'm sorry but I really do not know.

I love that. That shit is golden.

It's rude to not answer an open question you stumble upon at random.

Wait, I thought people answered questions like that on amazon because you get an email with the question if you have also reviewed the product and usually oldsters think it's a specific email to them that they must answer.

In that case, awww oldsters. Do you have to be a certain age to get those emails perhaps? I've never gotten one.

I'm just saying I've gotten those emails and ignore them (I don't review products unless it's really really bad). Oldsters probably think it was specifically sent to them.

Do you have to be a certain age to get those emails perhaps?

i don't know how it works, sorry

i don't know how it works, sorry

You definitely sound like you're the right age.

i am definitely the right age

I've received a few emails recently asking me to review products on Amazon.
I thought it might tie in with leaving feedback etc.
Also received emails asking me to buy products to review and supposedly get the funds back which I've ignored since it sounds like an obvious scam.

They are trying to stop all the positive reviews that come from getting free products sent to you.

If you actively choose to use the toilet/urinal directly next to the only other person in a restroom with more than two toilets/urinals and there's nothing wrong with any of the other toilets/urinals and you're not personally acquainted with the person with whom you've chosen to brush elbows while you do your dirty business, you should have your bathroom privileges permanently revoked imo. Just learn to hold it, ya filthy animal.

i know shopping trolleys/carts are the cliche of IA

but motherfuckers who just leave a trolley in the middle of an empty parking space NEXT TO THE TROLLEY RETURN.

it’s right there.

assholes.

I'm convinced that the people who use the half-sized carts are dicks. They'll walk the cart halfway toward the trolley return then just give it a shove and turn back toward their car without looking or caring where the cart ends up.

People who complain about receiving too many push notifications when they could turn them off.

card readers at stores that tell you to swipe your card when it's too early so the cashier has to tell you it's not time yet and you feel like a rube

^^^

not irrational

When the same dudes who act like owning more than 2 pairs of shoes is a super-weird and suspect frippery make a big deal about how the shoes you're wearing don't 100% go with your outfit or the season or the activity of the day (which they may or may not have bothered to tell you was happening anyway)!

I guess it'd be fine if I only owned my 2 allocated pairs of magic shape-shifting shoes, but I'm such a weirdo I decided to go and spend £££ and hours of trying-on time to get a modest selection of these clunky things which never look right and are always uncomfortable and blister-inducing instead

Shopping, using the trolley provided as in the pull one not the wire mesh one. If I have a lotof heavier goods I would want them to be on the bottom of the trolley so they don't crush things. I would also want them to be at the bottom of what ever I'm using to carry them away but I'm relying on the cashier to give me the heavier items before i can pack the lighter ones taht go above them.
& I'm getting self conscious about the queue behind me. Plus it seemed like she slowed down so taht the heavier items were getting to me very slowly. Seemed like she took a break though what I'm supposed to do with the otehr items while I'm waiting for the bulkier ones I don't know.
Also not sure if there is actually any size of packing area where you can put a bag.
So badly designed cashier areas, and needing to work out how things can be in 2 places at the same time.

so some dickhead american gets to run the country somehow, he blunders into all sorts of comedy punchlines on the world stage, and the whole world’s news media spend FUCKING HOURS EVERY DAY trying to understand his motives, what his plan is, why he’s trying to manipulate people, what does all this meeeean. no. there is nothing to dissect. he’s a pointless back of dicks just yelling random shit and that’s literally all that is happening.

why is he attaching germany? because he’s a bag of dicks. why is he yelling at nato? because he’s a bag of dicks. that is the extent of it, he is just a bag of dicks. put away your desperate 45 minute analyses of this dickbag supreme and do actual news please.

attacking germany*

When this all started, my co-workers talked about nothing but how evil this man was. It drove me bonkers.

I finally approached two of them. "Look. You had a colonoscopy this year. So did you. I had one in April. How about we just discuss that today for eight hours instead of what the president has said? It would a more pleasant conversation."

One of them turned to me and said, "Well, I don't know about you, but they put me to sleep during my procedure. Don't know much I can say."

And I was all, "Well that's kinda what I'd like to do myself for the next four years. Just let me sleep through this colonoscopy of an administration."

I eventually moved my desk to the sales department.

I really detest dudes who throw footballs at beaches. Wtf is that all about? Screaming out jackpot???

answering services for shops that are remote subcontractors and don't know anything about the goods sold.
Would be nice if you had a rapid free way of connecting to people in a different country when you have a time limitation.
JUst had somebody in a foreign town for a short period so if i could have communicated with somebody who was in the know about goods sold in the shop represented I might have been able to track something specific down.
Haven't worked out what a transatlantic phone call costs per minute but didn't want to at the time if i had another way around it.

FUCKING traffic signals that they've put up but haven't turned on yet so they're just swaying there in the breeze with burlap sacks over them for a week. JUST FUCKING TURN THEM ON WHEN YOU PUT THEM UP!
