Things That Annoy You

Why does unsubscribing from email notifications take 7 to 10 business days for some email lists in an electronic age?

For the same reason they charge you a few bucks for booking movie tickets online and saving the theatre money from having to hire extra box office staff and printing out a ticket for you.

Oh my god that pisses me off, and here's the latest scam: 'insurance' so that the tickets you purchased electronically and were mailed to you are safe at the box office. Extortion. What's going to happen without insurance, someone's going to knee cap your tickets?  :

Remember playing "Light as a feather, stiff as a board" as a kid, or reciting "I believe in Mary Worth" in a dark room lit by only a black candle?  Scaring ourselves silly as kids was so damn fun... that's one of the things I miss about Art's show -- the promise of a genuine thrill.  With Noory, it's nothing but disappointed sighs....

With me, it's more like loud retching noises.

Whoever is in charge of filling the giblet bags for whole chickens at Perdue needs to be fired. For the past few years, every time I get a whole chicken, the giblets are off. The bag should contain a neck, a heart, a gizzard and a liver. Tonight, my giblet bag only had a neck and half a liver. Plus, I had to pluck a bunch of feathers off one side of the chicken. I don't mind a few feathers, but this was a lot.
The last chicken I bought had 2 hearts (bonus!), a neck, and a liver, but no gizzard (boo!). Once, I got a chicken with the giblet bag in the cavity, but the bag was empty. This annoys me, fucks up my gravy, and leaves my cats without a special treat on roasted chicken night. When I pay $13 for a chicken, it should come with all the proper parts.
I was buying organic chickens for a while, but they often come with no giblets (it is marked on the package, so that is fair). I needs my giblets! I also tried buying them separately, but I don't need 20 hearts and gizzards at once. I just want my proper giblet bag containing one of each item with my damn chicken.

George doesn't get the idea of the "reveal".

[Birdie]

People on Antiques Roadshow who say they hate the 'ugly' object they have inherited, and then, when they find out the object is worth something, they say, 'Oh, I am going to take it out of the attic and put it in the living room now!'
Just sell it. You have no taste or brains and someone else will appreciate the object for what it is, not because an appraiser said it was worth a few thousand dollars. And you will get what you really wanted from your Grandpa's estate: money. I hate people.

[West of the Rockies]

Good point, Birdie...  I have a sister who wanted my mom's Easton Press books because they would "look good on the shelf" (oh, not to read them, God forbid)...

I hate new razors.  Now they come with five goddamned blades!  It makes it difficult to even reach certain spots.  I recall when the two-blader came out:  "the first blade lifts the hair so the second can cut more closely."  What's next, the 30-blade razor?  "The 29th blade removes the epidermis while the 30th scrapes the bone!"

And getting the hair out is a pain. Gotta hit it against the sink trying to get it all out of those tiny cracks. In the future we won't need to shave. Everyone including women will look like Duck Dynasty.

An Aussie sketch show in the 90s did a great parody of this exact thing.

...and hope the replaceable fuckin top part of it doesn't go flying off and falling down the drain....

One of the best twenty dollars I ever spent was for an electric hair and beard trimmer.  No more Sensor Excel blades, no more 10+ dollar haircuts...

Anyone else get a Gilette razor in the mail for their 18th(?) bitrthday?  They got my business...

[area51drone]

I don't know, I'm going to have to disagree.  I recently ran out of my multiple blade razor heads and went back to a 1 blade throw away, and the more blades one definitely gave me a closer shave.   The one I use has an inverted blade on the top of head, which you can use for the tight spots.  For me at least, I find the regular razor works a lot better than an electric too.   Don't forget that you also have to occasionally replace the electric razor heads as well.

This won't taint my love of giblets, will it? I am scared to look ...
(and I still need to watch Season 3)

I noticed one of the guys from Pawnstars is marketing an infomercial for, wait for it wait for it, the best invention ever: A single safety razor! Though he admits that the invention has been around for many decades. Anyway I still use a Wilkinson Sword safety razor. You can buy blades at most grocery stores or even goto a Dollar Store and buy Chinese made double-razors, single-blade for 99 cents. Or buy the multi-blade razors with their weird gel strips that clog the blades and spend a crap load of money!

I'd watch season 3.  There's a line from video.... if more words come out of your mouth, I'm gonna have to eat every chicken in this room...

If you want to learn back history without reading the books, look up Epic History Game Of Thrones on YouTube.  It'll get ya ready for season 3.... Comicbookgirl19 is the poster, and there's five in total.  Covers Targaryens, Lannisters, and Starks.

LinkedIn.com annoys the fuck out of me.  Yes please send me more emails.  Just what I need.  Ridiculous.  This site is just a shortcut for recruiters to spam people dumb enough to sign up for the site. 

[Little Hater]

Your four-year-old daughter is killed when a car slams into her daycare center. You:

Mourn her death in private with family and close friends.
Wangle thirty seconds on the CBS Evening News, crying crocodile tears while pointing people to the video of your daughter on your Facebook page.

Christ, I hate these narcissistic assholes.

I'll second that. I also want to know how someone I barely know in a social or work situation can somehow endorse me for skills I don't have like Negotiation and Risk Management.

Who am I? George Costanza.

I think it's a Law of Reciprocity thing.  I tend to get such endorsements by people who are looking for a new position and are hoping I'll return the favor.

First of all, the whole selfie thing.
Second of all, how can you ask someone else if they want to be in a selfie with you?

Oxford dictionary:

A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website

When there are other people in your "selfie" then it is just a picture, dick.

I hate this crap, too.
The other one that gets me is the reporters interviewing kids who just had a school stabbing/shooting incident. Why would anyone approve having their kid be interviewed on camera for something like this (assuming parental consent is necessary)? Most teenagers are not going to give a good, articulate, informative interview. You know, news stuff, not drama/exploitation stuff.  And I certainly don't want to see footage of kids crying over their injured or lost friends. That should be private.

Yup, hate them, too. Almost as bad are the goobers who show up in court at a accused's trial wearing t-shirts bearing the faces and names of the victims. "Look, TV cameras, it's all about me!"

Flies in my house, the dirty little bastards. How the fuck do they know I have picked up the swatter? I haven't even taken a swing yet and they both disappeared. Are experienced flies passing swatter knowledge on to their offspring? I know they are still in here. I will find them.
