What (besides politics) irritates you?

[Rebecca De Mornay]

just cut their brakes, then get them a $20 gift card to red lobster.

[ExistenceNow]

That's a little harsh, no?



The Red Lobster part, of course.

I like that the suggestions to remedy today's irritants include cutting brake lines and starting fires.

It would actually be harsher to give them a Gift Card for one of the Hawaiian BBQ joints around here. The neighbors are Tongan, it would kill them if they couldn't get to the Hawaiian BBQ.

As for setting the car on fire....well, that's a lot of car fires. It's a different vehicle every time.

The only satisfaction I get is when I park on the street. I go to lock the back gate up and see the alley blocked. I go in the house and call the non-emergency dispatch. At one point, it was getting so bad they knew my phone number and would ask me is this about the vehicle blocking the alley? To which I'd respond, yes. Took 5 seconds to make the call. It's starting to get like that again now that the weather is turning warmer.

1. Everybody and their brother seems to be a DJ these days.
2. People that carry on with cashiers they don't know while others wait in an already slowly moving line.
3. When stores have upwards of 15 checkout lanes and only have 2-3 open during peak business hours and still don't correct the issue as the lines continue to grow.
4. Selfies.
5. D-bags giving the sideways peace symbol and touching all of their bros in a picture.
6. Gym pictures.
7. Bragging about crossfit on social media.

Just a few that come to mind this morning.

[Lcsulla]

People who call a dozen or so times every day from the same number and expect me to answer during the workday. If something is so darn important leave a message or drop me an eMail. I just do not answer numbers I do not recognize from work or stored numbers from my phone.

[Lee3691]

If someone is parking where they shouldn't, its pretty easy to get their car towed - the tow company will jump on a dead grandmother to tow something to make some money



My irritants:
People who cut in front of you to make a turn when there is plenty of room behind you.

[thebridge15]

exactly, if there's a sign, don't call the cops, just call a local towing company

[HoldemHart]

Keurig's.

They have a self destruct mechanism after 18 months. Never again.

It's true... after going through our 2nd one my wife decided to order a stovetop percolator. No gadgetry to it... just load in coffee and water and put it on med-high heat. 25ish minutes later, you have the tastiest coffee ever.

This is also after using their patented cleaner at 14 bucks a throw.

I saw a display of them at Best Buy and had to resist the temptation to knock it over.

[Lee3691]

Mine's lasted for over 3 years.

[drop2d]

No need to rub it in Lee... Holdem may just show up at your house and push it off your counter.

it's not out of the realm of possibilities. Those things cost me a fortune.

This.

4 calls in two days from the same unlisted number. The location is actually nearby, but im still not answering until they leave a message.

[Lee3691]

I'll sell you mine.

We also had one at work that lasted 4 years, 2 different locations that got used 25x a day (and it wasnt even a commercial one)

[thebridge15]

maintenance issues in an apartment that you rent

I have to go through so many hoops just to get my A/C fixed

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

Threaten to not pay rent until its fixed. (If maintenance issues are to be taken care of by the leaser), always gets my shit fixed qucik.

[thebridge15]

they're responsive, it's just annoying to deal with. having to go through the landlord just ads an extra person to deal with.

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

I've had great landlords, but the one I have now I have to threaten all the time.

[zajDmB1]

People with headphones who rap along to what they're listening to, but only do like partial lines, or maybe 3 lines then just go ughughughgugh for the parts they don't know.

And I don't know what's worse, when it's ghetto ass people on the subway acting all tough, or moderately built bros at the gym acting all tough.

[ExistenceNow]

Acting hard all the time must be exhausting.

What?...

[defcon]

Fuckin....this fucking weather. Yesterday it rained and was nearly 80. Last night, a near freeze and frost. Tonight, 26 degrees forecasted with a hard freeze. Plants and shit are expected to die. Governor is already asking Obama to declare a disaster because the peach and other crops are dying. It is the middle of April, and I live in South Carolina. The fuck? Make up your fucking mind.
