Things That Annoy You

[Heather Wade]

There is a smell.  Not an overwhelming smell, mind you.  But nasty, stinky smell just the same.  It's in my kitchen.  I CAN'T FIND WHAT IT'S COMING FROM!!!!  I've swept and scrubbed and scrubbed and swept every open inch of the floor.  TWICE!!  Now I guess I'll be pulling out the big appliances next....***sigh***

What IS THAT SMELL??         
Damn, I'm annoyed.

I hate that TW.  Hope it isn't too horrifying when you find it.

What about all of us that put the onion on the top and the tomato and lettuce on the bottom and secure them with mustard on the bottom and catsup on the top?

Ok I can grudgingly accept it as a valid variant - but it should not be the default, any more than the upside-down burger.

Ok, as long as I'm venting ...  I have another service-related gripe. 

Martinis.  When I order a martini - that completes my order.  I do not wish to be asked if I want gin or vodka.  A martini is gin.  If I wanted vodka, I'd order a vodka martini.   

It would be like ordering french fries and they ask if you want them made from potatoes or turnips.

Sweet potato fries are better for you.

     (I)How somebody who feeds squirrels in the yard, is horrified by a tiny brown mouse in the cellar.

     (II) How said mouse routinely outwits me. I'm not even going to kill it, just relocate it. The mouse is profiling me and I don't like it.

You just know it watches you whilst you sleep and masturbates.

I'm not sure which image is more horrifying.

      The one with me, because that mouse could be female. Then it's less gross(borderline hot)

Those India-based scammers that call and claim to be from Windows Tech Support so they can try and hijack your computer.  Cursing at them used to be good for my stress relief, now I just find their interruptions annoying.

We discussed this on The GabCast. There are some funny YouTube clips regarding this too.

Lately work is getting to be a real stressor. I work 3 twelve hour shifts and am on call during the hours I am off on those three days. So time on fri, sat, and sun is hard to find.

So when I go into a store to buy something... anything and I get an attitude from a clerk... I wanna cause pain.

Anyway on my way home last night, I was tasked with getting my wife a bottle of coffee creamer. No big deal right? (I wanna cry) I stop at the only grocery store on the route to my house. There are only two bottles of coffee creamer and  they are out of date. I ask the clerk if by any chance there is any other place some may be found or if there are any "fresh" bottles not yet on the shelf. I think the fellow thought I was asking if his mother still offered blowjobs behind the store. Needless to say, I left with no creamer. I had to stop at the next convenience store and picked up many of the individual servings and told my wife she was now on her own.

The point is, I didn't let the issue go. I was pissed, not so much at lack of availability but the fuckstick that gave me a bad time because I asked him to vary his work routine.

So now that I am up earlier than I planned I thought does anyone else have moments of--I am going to kill them?

All I ask is the issues revolve around your day to day. No politics please.

Stellar just quoted this and though it is creepy as hell and troll-like he did so since this post is from 2011 (!!!) I am glad he did because I have lived the same day/experience more times than I can count. Once, I did succumb to the rage (at a 7-Eleven store I ended up at after a merry-go-round of ass-hattery at 2 other stores) and swept my tiny hands and forearms across the counter clearing all the bananas and other last minute crap offered for sale, onto the floor. Yes, I looked like a crazy person, but YES it felt amazing. It was a ragegasm.

Buckle clip child safety belts on Walmart shopping carts.

I have not seen anyone use them, but they are always in my way.

I am understating my rage.

What the fuck's wrong with you?  You put ketchup on your hotdog, too?

...especially when the posts by these retards contain that patronizing undertone which suggests anyone who doesn't agree with them is a moron and that it's somehow everyone else's responsibility to research it themselves.  Hey douche, when you make a fringe claim, the onus is on YOU to prove it.

He does prove it using some other batshit crazy guy's YouTube videos.

I love that word "ragegasm", BB.  I had one myself a few weeks ago at the pharmacy, where after a long series of inept actions/inactions, I was finally pushed into an almost tantric state of verbal rage-unleashing.

This is everything. I can't stop laughing.

Ok, since it is brought up, even from 2011 by a questionable quoter, I find I am compelled to respond.
Yes. 

I have been taught, nay, indoctrinated, to be friendly, no matter how bad I may want to punch in the faces I see.  So, I go about my day, if I must go out into the retail public, being friendly.  I begin to wonder, is this no longer being taught?  Wtf is wrong with people?  I walk into a store today, and some huge lady is on her cellphone screaming (at her child I am guessing), "WHY are you SLEEPING?  Wake up your dad NOW!" and proceeds to spit vitriol as loud as she pleases for all to hear.  She is a cashier at the store.  I could hear her all the way in the back by the dairy section.  There was no escape.
Yeah, I wanted to cry too.  I do not go out for this.  This is exactly why I prefer to stay in, until I move from this place that must be forgotten by god. 

Then, I make the mistake of deciding it is time to buy some new clothes.  Oh, holy fuck.
The crappy stereo is distorting it is so loud in three different stores I went to.  I probably just don't like it because it is hip hop, but it grates on my nerves like a razor sharp cheese grater.  All the clothes for girls are trashy.  Open backs, see through, skinny jeans, ridiculous sayings printed on lame t shirts (i.e. "Take me to Paris" & "Will Wake for Bacon", nice sentiments, but not ones I will wear).  Clothes so thin, it seems if they went through one washing (or wearing) they'd fall apart.  And I don't care how much you pay me, I am not fucking wearing capris.  Not.  Ever.
I am dressed fairly conservatively, simple black slacks & black button up shirt, yet I get followed and given the hairy eyeball in eight out of ten stores.  Must look more like a criminal than I think.  I need clothes, but all this makes me just want to go home.

It was miserable:  fat people, screaming children, and meth addicts.  Everywhere.

Did manage to find a few things worth wearing, and I will just be grateful for that, but god damn.

Oh yeah, and after you buy something, does anyone else notice how they shove your change and/or receipt at you and expect you to instantly disappear?  Sorry, I have a wallet, the cash/ card goes in there... it's going to take more than one nanosecond to put this shit away, while they give me the look that kills, again!

Oh yeah, and some weird dude walked up to me with his number scribbled on a scrap of an envelope, gave it to me saying, "Here, this is for you," and quickly walked away.    

And I wonder why I drink & smoke.  Good lord. 

[jazmunda]

I'll second the annoyance of clothes being so thin these days. I purchased 3 t-shirts online and I swear that they are so thin that when you put them side on they disappear. One wash and these T-shirts will be ready for the bin. Luckily I don't wash my clothes that often.

I've also noticed paper is becoming super thin too.

It's a conspiracy I tells ya. Fucking government.

Stellar, where's your video on this injustice?

Yeah I picked up a bunch of T-shirts to take with me on my deployment, one of them is so thin after one washing its faded and I can actually see thru it.  I mean its not bad for 114 degree heat, but damn I am afraid of washing it again.
So now I have to go to the PX and buy some t-shirts to wear under the flight suit...thank god I like Green and or Brown.....
