Things That Annoy You

[Yorkshire pud]

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?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't wash clothes. As for paper; it's supplied in different weights. Worked out in gms per square metre. Paper isn't thinner, you're just too tight fisted to buy 70 instead of 80 or 90 gsm.

Thanks for the information. I'm going to fire someone now. Is it uncouth to film it and put it on YouTube. Better speak with HR beforehand.

[Grov505th]

Thank you for your service.

Meh don't thank me too much...I am a filthy contractor....but thank you.

[zeebo]

... ridiculous sayings printed on lame t shirts (i.e. "Take me to Paris" & "Will Wake for Bacon" ...

... I don't care how much you pay me, I am not fucking wearing capris.  Not.  Ever.

Right on ... Now that's something to print on your t-shirt.

Tsk! You're the one that has caused all the unemployment. Putting it on YT is to be expected from the cruel NWO shills. Australia; the epicentre of the NWO.

You're sounding a little bit too much like Falkie.

That's enough!! That really is cruel.

I know. I reported myself. Please accept my half assed apology.

Well alright; just make sure you don't become soft and be sincere in your future apologies.

[UnscreenedCaller]

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.....

Be safe, Grov, and thank you.

which is why i stick to the dickes or carhart brands. nice heavy duty work clothes, that really dont cost all that much.

My complaint about shirts, back when I had a job or expected to find one, was the buttons on the shirts were sewn on with so little thread, they would fall off in the wash.

[paladin1991]

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

If you look anything like your avatar....I'll buy you a drink and a smoke.  But if you want my number, you have to ask for it.  And don't give me that little pout over the drink while you ask.  Look me in the eye and tell me you want it.

That is the correct side of the road. Heathens drive on the wrong side of the road.

The answer that came to me was behind or under the fridge. Let me know if I win.

Well, there's your problem.  I used to drink Tequila straight from the bottle while Christmas shopping.  Since I stopped doing that, random men have stopped handing me their phone numbers. 

Give it a try.

[Imconfused]

People,  who in spoken word confuse "picture"  and "pitcher".  And there are lot of them.  Starting with Alex Jones and ending with all the so called 'experts' on our favorite C2C channel. 

I swear to God as soon as I hear somebody talking about photos and pronouncing it as "pitchers",  the radio goes OFF.

'nuff said.

[Treading Water]

haha, nope.  Chicken stir-fry from Sunday night.  I didn't even see it flying across the stovetop, diving under the burner, and rolling into the access space beneath.  I had a fan(not a box fan, just a regular fan) running and I thought the smell was on the other side of the kitchen.  Finally found it last night.  The "robust-ness" of the odor had faded, but it was still unmistakably "that smell."     

Now I'm not annoyed.

I will try to control myself.  But, I like my drinking nice and depressed, at home, alone, with the cat.  Heh.

Oh, and kids who ride razor scooters annoy me.  Ka-chunk, Ka-chunk, Ka-chunk... get off my sidewalk! 
Ok, done bitching.  For now.

Worse were those kid shoes they used to make with built-in rollerblades.  They became an epidemic around 2007-2008 and made walking through a shopping mall a dangerous proposition.  Thank the gods those things were banned.

Even worse are these Twinkle Toes shoes from Sketchers that have three little LED lights that twinkle each time my kids take a step. A word of warning don't look directly into these lights otherwise they will burn your corneas right off. Oh and if you step on them in the dark you will be similarly blinded and given the fright of your life. They are a hazard to your health.

Having said that they look so darn cute.

Many years ago, when my nephew was 10 or 11 and "all grown up now," we were no longer allowed to call him Kenny.  It was either Ken or Kenneth.  One weekend in November I took him shopping so he could show me what he wanted for Christmas.  It was a trip we made every year about that time.  And we usually had a great time together.

This time it was different.  He was such a snot.  We went to several stores in the mall and EVERYTHING he looked at was $100 here, $150 there.  If it wasn't a brand name and expensive he wasn't interested. We went into a shoe store, not a real shoe store-one of those nose-in-the-air places.  Anyway, after about the fifth pair of $250 sneakers, I picked one up and started smacking the heel against the display case(wooden, not glass).  In a loud and confused voice I asked "Kenny" if the shoe was broken.  "Why isn't this lighting up?"   He looked at me aghast, turned around, and walked out of the store.   

I found his morose little self sitting at the fountain.  I sat down next to him and asked him if he was done being an ass and could we go to another mall to look at things that I could afford.  We stopped for ice cream on the way home.     

jaz, those little Sketchers brought it all back....

As if you weren't already filled with disdain for me, I had those shoes as a teen..and they still fit...and I still roll around in those bitches from time to time. Hah!

My girls won't wear anything else. I bought 2 pairs each for them whilst in the US because they were half the price than in OZ and were on sale.

I admire your restraint. I would of "picked one up and started smacking the heel against" Kenny's head.

So, we're like a third-world country for you? That's great. Thanks for that. Warms my cockles.

Not at all despite the fact that I wore a bullet proof vest with PRESS written on it the whole time.

I come from a place where price gouging is a national sport.

The little girls in my class wear these to gym. They really are cute, and so are the girls when I dim the lights and let them cut loose in their light ups. Truth is, I'm jealous. I want a pair to light my way to the bathroom at night. 

[West of the Rockies]

I miss the days when my daughter would wear those light-up girlie shoes.  Yeah, I think adults would wear them if they were available.

What shoes are you guys typically wearing? (A question not worthy of a separate thread.) In the summer, Chinese Kung fu style shoes or Tevas for me.
