Silly things that make you irrationately/unproportionately annoyed or upset

[Malergion]

Since you mentioned Wal Mart yet again, I have to say I am irrationally unfond of the tribe of Wal Mart floorchildren who sit in the aisles and play with toys while their fat mother pretends to care when someone glares.

Babies in general

Agreed!

 

[Anvil]

oh and the fact that my boobs won't stay in this bra!!!!!

Best post yet.

 

[Chromatose]

Don't you mean, "breast post yet"?

 

[Nikki]

Oh shit.

 

[Dead Winter]

In general, but not exact, order of increasing irrational annoyance:
--The overuse of "like" as filler. I don't have any specific anal-retentive reason for disliking its use in moderation by a native American English speaker, but god damn, sometimes people like use it such like that like they sound like they're like having a like stereotyped like Tourette's episode, or some sort of weird like grammatical seizure. This might seem like a reasonable pet peeve, but the anger it engenders is totally out of proportion to the offense.

--People who can't handle spicy food. Buck up you pussies.

Yus!

 

[Dead Winter]

People who don't read thread titles and start venting about every single thing they dislike, instead of listing a few things that aren't all that aggravating, but for some reason make them irrationally/unproportionately annoyed.

Yeah this doesn't apply to me. I'm irrationally/disproportionally annoyed by every single thing I listed.

Also Fox News.

People that take the internet too seriously.

For all the "wise martial artist"-veneer you love painting on yourself, you sure are quick to resort to buzzwords and cutesy phrases to score quick points with the children, Kevin. I'll probably be hit with another "HURR DURR INTERNET IS SERIUZ BIZNES" after this post, which will only prove my point.

Throwing tantrums, typing in all-caps, entertaining cross-forum feuds, or otherwise overreacting to Internet insults or trolling = Internet is serious business

Pointing out that people are misreading the intention/title of a thread = just sayin'.

I like you, Kevin, but quit being "HURR DURRR INTERNET SRS BZNS" like a retard every time someone types something without including some internet humor. Being serious about something != taking the Internet too seriously.

Isn't any sort of annoyance or anger irrational by definition? Emotion is rooted in biology, not reason, and while it may be unavoidable that we feel upset at times, certainly it cannot make your situation any better to do so.

Everything we do is rooted in biology, as Malergion already pointed out. And 'reasonable' doesn't mean 'helpful'. Anger can be reasonable if most people, using common sense, would understand a person being angry at something. Anger is not reasonable, not understandable, if most people do not comprehend why a person is angry at such an insignificant/minor cause.

People who over analyze the meaning of sentences annoy the shit out of me.

People who are too feeble-minded to actually read something right annoy the shit out of me *shrugs*

lol

Yeah, that tickled your funny-bone, didn't it?

Slow walkers. I walk fast. GTFO of my way already.

My friends that walk slow. I walk fast. I hate having to slow down for them.

Oh, how the hell didn't I come up with this one? I hate those damn blockmongoes.

 

[slashvanyoung]

People leaving just a tiny amount of coffee in the pot (usually my brother) as an excuse for not making a new one drives me me absolutely mad.

Well the forum has become such a cliquey microcosm that the effects of opinion leaders and peer groups are very evidently. It's its demise ultimately. Everything is so streamlined.

If you don't counter everything that isn't basically a cliquey private discussion with food-talk or anything else that is nothing but synonymous to a sign of disapproval by the OLs, you're either being ignored or face hostility.

I don't really complain about that but I think it contributes a lot to the demise of quality in this forum. Dead Winter is one of the few for example who "doesn't play by the rules" and he gets nothing but mockery for it.

 

[Malergion]

This thread. It started out awesome, and now there's too much whining per capita.

For all the "wise martial artist"-veneer you love

Veneer: In woodworking, veneer refers to thin slices of wood, usually thinner than 3 mm (1/8 inch), that are typically glued onto core panels (typically, wood, particle board or medium-density fiberboard) to produce flat panels such as doors, tops and panels for cabinets, parquet floors and parts of furniture.

Or are told that you take things too seriously, as if every post every person ever should make, should be jokes.

I thought it also extended to varnish and paint to make a wurface look smoother and more visually appealing. In a figurative sense, it's used to indicate a thin, made-to-look-good but ultimately fake surface appearance.

Thanks for the info (English = 2nd language), and just substitute "painting" with "gluing"

I think you're exaggerating slightly.

 

[El Stormo]

Yes, it was a hyperbole. For dramatic effect.

Anyway, I said what I needed to.

More things that make me irrationally upset are popped collars (indeed, DW!), 'cool' walks, overly loud music in cars and through other people's headphones, those stupid Asian letter tattoos - in fact, all tattoos that people put on themselves without understanding what they mean, the overuse of the word "douche", people who lick their fingers before separating single papers from a stack.

 

[Shpongled]

Stormo, just shut the fuck up and stop acting like you know everything. You piss and moan when people double post. Tell me that's not taking the internet too seriously.

 

[Shpongled]

And for the record, it was a general statement. I was definitely not referring to you specifically. Your reply ended up doing that for me.
