People who eat breakfast, or more specifically, people who talk about eating breakfast. If I see one more instagram'd photo of a loving McDonald's bagel, captioned "breakfast of championssss" or "UGH, so hung over, time for BACON" I'm going to assassinate Mark Fuckerberg. On a semi-related note, people who talk about coffee, I don't care if you drink that poo poo privately, but there's something particular about coffee which makes people POST POST POST and act like if they don't drink a coffee RIGHT NOW they/someone else will be in real trouble; "don't get between me and my mocha coffee latte with 10 sugars and caramel in the morning lmao" or "ah someone bring me a coffee god i need a coffee" drives me up the loving wall, last week the same McDonald's bagel eating idiot posted a photo of a mug of coffee with the empty sachet of International Roast coffee neatly placed in front of it, captioned "the worst coffee.. but it will do" like drat, you can't do poo poo without some weak rear end coffee sweepings in the morning? Really? When I used to work at a supermarket these 15 year old turds would come into the break room after school and make themselves a cup of blend 43 or homebrand coffee or whatever was in the break room, fill it up with milk and sugar and be like "ahhhh yeaaaaah".

These are the same tools that get on me for drinking tea instead of coffee. Also the phrase "acquired taste". gently caress you, why would I want to acquire a taste for something that tastes horrible? Just because it's a delicacy? gently caress you.

I never really understood this either. I love a good cup of coffee in the morning, but if I don't have one it doesn't really change my day much. I'll still be functional. Really I'd probably be better off because I sleep better without it and I wouldn't be in and out of the bathroom all morning. Which reminds me, people who make a big "thing" about anything decaffeinated. Apparently I'm the only person on earth who likes coffee for the taste and also doesn't handle lots of caffeine well. If I ever get caffeine-free anything, you would think I had just poured myself a big cup of poison from the way some people react. At the very least, they are absolutely baffled about why I'm even bothering, as if everyone hates coffee and soda and just chokes the stuff down for the jolt. I know that's actually the case with some people, but is it really a hard concept to understand?

Leercore posted:If I see one more instagram'd photo... Instagram photos. Holy loving poo poo, do I hate Instagram photos. They try and evoke a sense of nostalgia and bygone eras that never existed to begin with since most Instagram pictures are taken that day and then immediately uploaded to the Internet within a minute. There is nothing nostalgic about that. Your vignetted, desaturated, color-shifted image of some random piece of garbage on the ground is not some high form of existentialist art just because it has all of these features on a textured digital image that looks like it was developed on some cheap 126 film stock and paper, so stop loving doing it. It gets even worse when it creeps into places where it shouldn't be used, like selling a car or a TV on Craigslist, or taking [supposedly professional] pictures of food. Why yes, I want to see some color-shifted image of some meat dish that's a sickly-looking green; yummy in my loving tummy. I also see people (including goons) that post, "sorry for the hipster-looking Instagram photo" when posting a picture. You know, your phone has a setting that turns that poo poo off. You could have taken a regular looking picture with the push of a button, but you chose not to. I know you're not sorry for poo poo; you just like taking those dumb loving novelty pictures. I can see where using Instagram can be harmless fun, like taking pictures of you and your friends somewhere as personal keepsakes, but that never happens. Everything's gotta get posted in the Internet right away, and everything's gotta have an Instagram look to it. gently caress Instagram photos.

I just remembered last night when I was at work, I sat down in the tea room to drink my creaming soda in peace and some rear end in a top hat sat down next to me and opened two cans of tuna, I had to leave because it smelled so loving foul.

People who tell me I sound "hokey". Dude, I've got an accent, can't really help that poo poo. If I hear one more person at work tell me I sound like something out of an old western, I'm gonna loving blow up. I hate this poo poo, because my boss said that I sound too "hokey" around customers.  I have never, ever had a problem with a customer being unable to understand me due to my accent. Ever. It's nto really something I can much help- I've been working on it for years and I just cannot seem to shake most of this poo poo. I dread speaking at all around my boss, because she corrects every. single. instance. of my accent. It's aggravating and humiliating and AUUUUGH. Example from earlier today: "Thank ya for shoppin' with us t'day! Ken I help ya with anythin' else?" My boss pops up RIGHT IN FRONT of the loving customer to say the exact same thing, but with severe inflection on the "wrong" parts of my speech. "Thank YOU for shopPING with us TO-DAY. CAN I help YOUUUUU with anythiNG else?" Way to make me feel like poo poo and make the customer feel awkward, you bitch. Newsflash, you awful snooty person- we're in the Southwest. I'm not the only one with this accent, and I drat sure won't be the last. It's gotten to the point where I get so enraged that I play up my accent more JUST to gently caress with her.

Star Man posted:People that answer any question that they feel has an obvious answer to them like they've been personally offended and snap at the person inquiring. They deserve quartering. Stupid loving questions with obvious answers. Brain farts and lack of information are their own thing and fairly forgivable, and even if a person is asking about something posted elsewhere I don't much mind, but for gently caress's sake, don't ask me what I'm doing if it's incredibly apparent. Or ask me if I'm enjoying what I'm eating. Or, the most egregious loving offense, ask me if I'm sleeping. And pester me when I don't respond. In fact, commentary or questions that could just as easily remain in your own head. If you are passing a lilac tree and smile, I know you like lilacs. You don't have to interject that you like lilacs. How am I expected to respond to this? I've tried being sarcastic in the past, but the kind of people who are just so eager to tell you that flowers are nice or the weather is warm will never, ever get the hint, and instead take that as a brave invitation to converse about whatever inanity they just blurted. These are also the kind of people who will likely complain about ANYTHING. A breeze lightly kisses their shoulders: I'm cold, it's too cold, are you cold, how can you not be cold? I turn on a reading light and settle in with a book: that light is so annoying, it's right in my eyes, why do you need it so bright, you can still read if you turn it off and just squint a little. Some people apparently just cannot think without speaking, and these people need to be emancipated from their vocal cords. Also! People who turn into squealing invalids when they get a cold, refusing to do anything that takes them off the couch and begging pitifully for you to do their tasks. But when you get sick, they either complain if you want to stay home and not do much of anything or vanish completely from the face of the earth. If I go out of my way to make your life a little comfortable when you're sick, helping me out when I feel like a vaguely humanoid pile of phlegm will go a long way towards ensuring you get similar treatment in the future.

It's tasty but I don't get why people are going to die right here RIGHT NOW IF I DON'T GET MY GODDAMN CHAI TEA LATTE ON FLAT NONFAT SOY MILK WITH 3 TONNES OF WHIPPED CREAM ON TOP. The same goes for any... 'fancy' drink at a cafe. I usually just order a flat white and it's almost like I get my drink before they finish ordering. Brands changing packaging and/or adding new varieties and changing the colour of the packaging for certain things. I got some mint chocolates for my mum today and I picked up a box of ginger chocolates before realising that mint is now blue and ginger (which is new) is a lime green, whereas before the rebrand/addition of ginger, mint was green and normal chocolates were blue (they're now chocolate brown). I know I shouldn't be lazy and actually look at the words on the box but damnit I've gotten that brand for years for my mum, don't go mixing it up on me all of a sudden.

I never really understand why some people make such a big deal about coffee. I drink it sometimes and it tastes nice but I don't even notice the caffeine, I don't go around all mopey and angry in the morning because I'm not a proper person without my caffeine fix. Is it just a trendy thing? Because I mostly hear it from the same people that go around going "I'M SUCH A NERD! NERDS 4 LYFE!" I always relate it with nerd/gamer culture for some reason. It kind of reminds me of back in school when everyone would go around with their cans of energy drink like "I'M SO HYPER, I'VE HAD THREE OF THESE ALREADY!!" Like a way to seem edgy when you're not old enough for drugs and alcohol. Tumblr. I like looking at pretty pictures of nature and fashion and recipe ideas, but it seems like there is no escape from annoying tumblr social justice even if you just follow pretty picture blogs. Someone posts a photo of a man and a woman getting married and there's always someone waiting to go 'OMG HOW HETEROSEXIST OF YOU, WHERE'S THE SAME SEX COUPLE??' Or if someone makes a really innocuous point like, 'Ugh period cramps, sometimes I hate being female' then they get jumped on for being OMG TRANSPHOBIC, MEN CAN HAVE PERIODS TOO YOU KNOW, CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE! It is really important to raise awareness and get people to be more inclusive, but in these incidences it's not even somebody being transphobic or homophobic, they're just posting about a specific incident/picture which happens to not involve a gay or trans person at that particular time. It just seems like a competition, they don't actually care about these issues, they just want a cookie for being the most progressive. Another tumblr thing I hate is when somebody I'm following suddenly starts posting thinspiration, pictures of unhealthily skinny girls, and things that say HEY YOU, STOP EATING, YOU'RE SO FAT! completely out of the blue. If they were specifically labelled as a thinspo blog then I'd just not follow them, but it sneaks up and ruins my day sometimes. I follow someone because they post cool nature pictures or something, and suddenly SURPRISE THINSPO! The other day someone posted up a chart that had different heights and the 'good' and 'perfect' weights for each height, not the realistic ones but just something a random anorexic person thought up. Apparantly I should weigh 85lbs otherwise I'm a disgusting fat beast. Thanks for that! It doesn't seem like much but it can really mess with my day when I see something like that, no matter how much I tell myself it's a load of bullshit.

Number 1 right now is people smoking at the playground at the loving park, followed very closely to people smoking in their cars with little babies in the back. If you must smoke around your children, you shouldn't have children. We don't have the luxury of feigned ignorance like they did when I was a kid.

First, it's advertised in the loving paper, I'm sure there are secrets in Florida better-kept that that. Second, why would that be a positive thing anyway? Is it just a euphemistic way of saying "Florida's least-popular furniture store"? It makes so little sense that it pisses me off.

That reminds me, handshakes. I've always been inclined to just a loose grip, up once down once old-school handshake, but recently at a single event I was met with: 1. surprise switch to interlocked-thumbs armwrestling-position handshake so I feel like an out-of-touch doofus for aiming for a regular handshake. 2. tight squeeze handshake so I feel like the other person is judging me as having a weak, limp handshake by comparison - gently caress you, I could have crushed your hand if I wanted, it just didn't occur to me because I'm not a dick. 3. a suspected masonic secret thumb-press handshake so I feel like I'm missing something and/or being judged for my lack of secret knowledge. and possibly some other variants. Afterwards I was struck by the solution to my overthinking of handshakes woes - I should do variant 1 myself. It's a switch you can pull off at the last moment without the other person's knowledge, it totally undermines handshakes 2 and 3, and it will make the other person feel like an out-of-touch doofus. It's the perfect crime!

The Midwest's obsession with freezing or refrigerating EVERYTHING. Got a fresh sirloin steak for grilling later? STRAIGHT IN THE FREEZER. Want some butter or peanut butter to spread on your sandwich? TOUGH poo poo IT'S BEEN CHILLED TO 40 DEGREES. Need some ketchup or mustard for your burger? Have fun microwaving it back to room temperature! My grandmother even keeps her cheese in the freezer. She throws it out after a couple of hours because by then it's "gone bad". Point out that the steaks are not frozen at the grocery store? THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING!!

Chai is very different from what people usually think as "tea," so calling it "chai tea" really just labels it as such. It just seems like it'd be equivalent to getting mad about "sirloin steak." Sirloin is a cut of steak, and you can say "sirloin" and everyone knows exactly what you're talking about, but "sirloin steak" doesn't bother me.

I'm really pissed at myself for letting myself get so out of shape. I'm not fat, but I imagine my muscles have the consistency of wet noodles. I've decided to start riding a bike every morning, today was the first day I tried. I went for about five minutes until I had to get off and have a bout of dry heaving. I walked the bike home feeling very shameful. I haven't ridden a bike since I was thirteen... so thats 10 years that have went by without me working some of those muscles. Oh well, nothing to do but try again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.
