I didn't see a post like this, so if there is one, tough titties. No, that was rude, I didn't mean that. Anyhow, what are some relatively mundane things that shouldn't bother you but nonetheless piss you right the gently caress off? I'll begin.

People that say "addicting". No, that game on your cell phone is not "addicting" you ignorant fuckweasel, it is addictive. I loving hate that poo poo nearly as much as I hate my woman forcing me to watch Real Housewives, and that is saying something.

Also, people who put those stupid stick figure family stickers on their cars. Hey, random guy in the SUV ahead of me: I don't know you, and therefore I give two shits about how many people are in your family, nor do I care to see them individually represented in stick figure form. What do you want, some kind of cookie for reproducing? Congratu-loving-lations, rear end in a top hat, you plowed the putrid depths of your wife's womanhood enough times to impregnate her. You are truly a Prometheus in your unique reproductive abilities. gently caress off.

After what basically amounted to a thirteen-hour shift, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend and a friend. We were talking about internet censorship, the guy brought over the bill and interrupted me with a YEAH, TOTALLY while I was talking, and I was so arbitrarily pissed off that I didn't tip.

Then I felt bad about a minute later and tipped. My bursts of outrage don't last very long

Customers taking a lot of a product seconds after I stock it. I realize that's what it is there for, to be purchased, but god damnit I see red for a second. This gets worse when I am cold. If someone takes a gallon of milk out of the cooler right after I set it down, I am perfectly willing to leap out of the back room and strangle them.

I'm really not cut out for retail.

I was referencing Prometheus in the context of one who brings unique/forbidden knowledge to mankind. I did not mean Priapus.

BASELESS ACCUSATIONS

People who claim to be Christians and think it wouldn't really be immoral to kill atheists, Muslims, and now Pakistanis... just that it's against God's get-into-heaven rules.
Because that Jesus character you believe in sure did go around recommending you hate your neighbor, kill all your "problems" (or so you consider them, you ignorant asses) away, and pretty much take the easy route in all circumstances.

I can type that quicker: People who think their religion should have anything to do with people who aren't them.

After typing this, it doesn't really seem all that unreasonable.

Why do I always want to sock it to you so hard?


Companies that sell pet related things and spell Dalmatian with an 'o'. You should know better.

Mixing up cheetah and leopard. So many companies do it and it infuriates me. It's almost all labelled as cheetah print, when it's usually leopard print. Spend two seconds on google before you name your poo poo, goddamn. (I love cheetahs)
Cheetahs have solid spots:

Leopards have rosettes, rings with the tawny color in the middle:

Jaguars have rosettes with spots in the center.


Don't even get me started on people that mix up tigers and lions, holy gently caress.

I love that your avatar is an official example of this.

Red turn signals on the backs of cars, especially if it's just the brake light flashing. Stop that poo poo. If one brake light goes out and you start pumping them I'll assume you're turning before I realize you're slowing down. They shouldn't be anything but orange on both ends of the vehicle.

I hate people who say cliched cheerful stuff first thing in the morning like "rise and shine" or "wakey wakey, eggs and bakey". You know what? The morning loving sucks. I am tired, groggy, and not at all looking forward to another day of work. If you are a happy camper, fine. Go jack off and use your spooge to draw smiley faces all over the walls. As for me, I am content to eat my Honey Smacks in miserable silence. I will abandon my grogginess when I am goddamn good and ready.

Could be worse, they could always carry it halfway across the store and put it on some random shelf, knocking things out of the way to make room for it.

Or worse, drop it on the loving ground.

Rolling with the

Jobsworths, their vocabularies and the over use of words such as ‘Touching Base’, ‘Going Forward’, Having Dialogue’, ‘Being Mindful’, talking about ‘perception’ ...and telling one of our customers about how what she was doing wasn’t following ‘due policy’ ...seriously, take a break from work and go for a walk. Or better still, go for a beer.

Oh man I've thought of another one, people who sign off their emails with an initial. It was 'J' that I had the pleasure of dealing with this week. Unless you're a spy or H from steps - give it a rest.

People who walk however many people abreast the sidewalk/pathway is (especially if they're the extra-stupid type that is just so stupid that they spread out as people try to walk past by going around - not on purpose, they're just completely oblivious).
People who walk really slow in the middle of a pathway, forcing everybody to have to go around them.
People who walk up the loving handicap/bike slopes because they don't want to lift their fatfuck feet to go up the steps.
People who try to do something while walking, usually text, but are too loving stupid to do both at the same time so they do both really poorly and won't get the gently caress out of the way, wobbling and zigzagging as they (try to) lazily shuffle very slowly down the middle of a crowded path.

People that call ground beef "hamburger". What the gently caress, people, that's like deciding to start calling chickens "fried chicken legs".

A really infuriating one I hear a lot of here in Iowa is people using the word "seen" in place of see, saw, and watch. I seen hamburger on sale!! Let's seen a movie!!

Using "in regards to" in business letters.

Drivers that start freaking out and alternating between braking and accelerating as soon as they are on a slight incline. Meanwhile, I am maintaining a constant distance from them by not touching any pedals.

\/ People who blink their signal once, just as they complete the lane change.

Every day at work when I have lunch the ladies from accounts payable talk about how different their cultural backgrounds are (one is Indian, another Italian, etc). Every. loving. Day. They are constantly amazed and bewildered by the fact that one person has curry for lunch while another has pasta. This has been going on as long as I've worked at this company (over 2 years) and I have no doubt it will keep going forever.

People who walk on their toes or the balls of their feet. You probably know someone like this. When they walk, their heels never touch the ground. It looks they are forever falling forward when they walk.

The woman I'm currently seeing walks like this, but only when she's not wearing shoes, and it unreasonably enrages me.
