Annoying...

Having said all that, I realize the whole thing, at worst, probably costs me an additional 3-5 minutes. This is what the whole pentium computer thing has done to us. We measure time in milliseconds....

It's Kamal, isn't it?

"hey neighbour!"

rain for days and days straight

how 5 minutes surfing the internet seems to last a long time, but 5 minutes doing work isn't time to finish anything, so i can't give equal amounts of time to both

KIDNEY PIE! OH WHAT AN O HENRY ENDING TO THE ADVENTURE

Picking up a wet noodle off of the floor if you don't have fingernails.

FUCK!!!!!!!!!

Getting sweater cuffs wet during hand washing.

Audacity recording tracks off the internet in mono only.

wtf, free open source recording software, why won't you let me pirate music at higher quality?

Oh, god, the sweat cuff thing is terrible! As bad when you're wearing a fresh pair of socks and you're looking for your shoes and you step in a puddle of water.

"seedless" mandarins that are full of seeds. six seeds in one segment!

Getting hit on by old mean who are at least twice my age, and when I tell them, "You are older than my dad," it doesn't phase them or seem to alert them to the fact that they are being creepy.

it's all part of the dance, love.

But see, my dance card is full.

when all your socks are worn to bits and feel flat and unfuzzy

coming home from 14 hours at work, only to realise you forgot to buy cigs, someone's used the last teabag and the toilet paper has run out.

Forgetting where you put your wallet and phone about 5 times EVERY day.

Damn Drooone, just put it in the same place everyday!
It's key.

- Moving to another state to attend grad school, turning off utilities, turning on utilities, packing, saying goodbye, dealing with items in the refrigerator, two week gaps between leases, changing your mailing address for magazines and tuition bills, terminating bank accounts, starting bank accounts...

FUCK!!!

Shouty man on Chiverton Rd, N19. One year on and my patience is wearing thin...

My boss constantly referring to interactive applications on our sites as "automated". We are not building drive-through car washes.

Cool people

PICKING THE WRONG CD OFF THE SHELF AND DISCOVERING THAT I NOW OWN TWO COPIES OF THE SAME ALBUM WHILST ON THE TRAIN HOME

Moving. Packing, hauling, unpacking, living amongst boxes, not knowing where anything is. But to me the worst is taking a day off work to clean the old place that I no longer care about.

Call me easily amused but "PONCHOS!!!!!!" made me lol.

life

sorry, too tempting

thats my favourite tindersticks record too

Being hit by a customer's trolley when I am quite obviously A PERSON. A person who is putting your stinking groceries on the shelf for you to purchase, you rude, ignorant animal. I may have a mindless, drone job but that doesn't give you the right to treat me like I don't exist. You could at least apologise you rude fuck.

rude fucks in general, who think they know something.

The guy at the desk behind me kicking the table leg. Really really annoying.

on o2 I get "you have.......three.......saved messages......one.......of these messages will be deleted within the next.......five.......days." OK ALREADY.

Oh yeah, and even worse on a plane - or at the cinema...

every i check my voicemail, it's "you have... 2... messages... whose retention time is about to expire... you have 2... new messages."

ARGH!

worse is the people who leave u messages twice as painstaking as that. "HI, it's laura, i'm just - [dog name], NO! - sorry. i'm just... calling to say hi, um, i haven't talked to you in a while - [DOG NAME]! - um, i hope you're good, i wanna see you soon..."

those googlin' dogs

=P i actually adore dogs and most animals. and i have been guilty of screaming at my cat whilst on the phone, when she starts tearing up the faux-suede couch.

thought strgn would have more people killfiled - not much overlap with mine!

current top 10

1. broken home computer
2. seeming inability to cope without functioning computer when at home
3. facebook
4. train travel anxiety
5. dodgy electrics at home (fusebox switch is tripping a lot lately, seemingly sporadic)
6. my hair / my barber being on holiday
7. mastercard secure code fuckup
8. everything i want to make involves 20,000 hours of sitting at a computer
9. right eye strain (see 8)
10. unable to decide between trying to get a new job and jacking it all in for a trans-siberian train trip to Beijing or similar dammit why am i not two separate people (neither of which are jamesy nesbitt schizo)

What do you want to make?

Mildly annoying: people who deliberately refuse to utilize the Subject space when composing an email. You are not writing to me about ellipses or "asdf"s so why do you even bother?

musica. and i love making it, but the sitting in the chair, neck craned, staring at the screen thing is really tough

you?

subject spaces are generally necessary, xcept for when i'm trying to think of how to articulate the email in that space for so long that i just can't take it anymore

In a class of mine I was placed into a project team with a woman who, while generally kind, unfortunately uses the term "the dope show" all of the time. I'm talking over a dozen times over the course of an hour long meeting. Not the Marilyn Manson song, just like "Oh...this project is going to be the dope show", or "This study room is the dope show", or "You got a job interview? That is so dope show", or ".........dope show, dope show.....", or "These orange slices are the dope show", and so on.

I've never heard anyone else use "dope show" in this way. I searched ILX and the only uses of "dope show" are in reference to the MM song. Is this normal? Do you say dope show, do your friends?

DOPE SHOW

?!? that would make my teeth grind.

never heard this ... it's "dope show" not "Dope, sho'"?

I feel like if she ever had a public speaking class, the teacher would have to say "watch out for your 'ummms'...and your 'dope shows'. In fact, just stop saying 'dope show'.

Nope, it's "dope show". Something can be dope show, or it can be the dope show.

thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard

where is she from?

you should ask her if she likes the song, and if she responds by saying "oh yeah the dope show is the dope show" no jury in the world would ever convict you

i feel like i can see what she looks like in my head based on a composite of a bunch of really annoying people but i bet i'm wrong

lol http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dope+show

She's from near D.C., in Virginia.

does her name at all resemble that of urban dictionary contributor "andy peeps?"

Part of me feels like you should just tell her to stop trying to make "dope show" happen, because "dope show" is never going to happen; another part of me feels like you should come up with an equally annoying phrase and try to start a fight with her about it -- like next time she says something is "dope show," you just say "no, no way, what this is is totally schwangtastic, it's not dope show at all and I can't believe you of all people wouldn't know the difference"

And then, while working on your project, you can try "I think that's a really valuable contribution you have, but I wonder if there's any way we could make it a bit more ... well, a bit more schwangtastic, as it were"

Part of me feels like you should just tell her to stop trying to make "dope show" happen, because "dope show" is never going to happen

this reminds me of a part from mean girls

I keep having the frightening thought that maybe I do something just as annoying and don't realize it. Maybe when this lady talks shit with her friends she's like "Zach would be the dope show if he didn't always say "Bang! put it on the scorecard" all the time..."

Mean Girls echo is intentional

Haha anonymously send an animated gif of a picture of her with text bubbles endlessly repeating dope show, dope show, dope show, and a picture of yourself tallying each repetition by saying "bang, put it on the scorecard"

somehow this response should involve juggalos.

I find myself saying 'fab!!' brightly through gritted teeth when things are going really badly. I'm sure it sounds inane.

My ear infection= annoying. Can't hear. Ear keeps making grumbling noises. Being a smoker is giving me hell because I know it makes it worse but oh that lovely cigarette... ^%^$%^$

this is not innocuous...anyway I figured I'd stop cloggin up that thread with my bullshit :)

I just want to WHINE for a moment.

I've arranged to go to a concert in Reno in Feb with a friend. I tailgate with this friend so I don't really know her too well outside of that, but she's p cool. She lives in Oakland, and is driving up so she is going to pick me up on her way to the concert, we'll stay the night in Reno and she'll drop me back home on Sunday.

So she emails today saying about how she just realized Sunday will be the superbowl, and do I want to watch the game in Reno or we could watch it in Sac? I'd rather watch it in Sac, and say as much. So then some conversation back and forth, and then she ups the ante completely: suddenly she throw in a new angle: actually her friends are going to be in Tahoe on Sunday and hey you know you could get a room in Tahoe Sunday night and Mr Veg could drive up and meet you. That way if you don't want to stay the night Mr Veg and you can go back Sunday night.

I told her no but the whole LA DI DA way she was all 'u guys can get a hotel/mr veg can just magically drive up' just annoyed the fuck out of me, like she's pollyanna with a black amex or soemthing. This is already a $200 night as it is. Am I really getting a hotel room so I can stay in freaking *Reno* to watch the Superbowl? Uhh no. and Mr Veg is driving to and from San Francisco on Saturday night...that's a big NO to driving up to Reno the next day 'just becuase'. Lol.

I sure as hell hope she wants to drive back on Sunday or I'm going to be having to Greyhound home or some shit. Ugh. I was looking forward to this and now it's making me mad

"awesome sauce"

Why he might not be annoying

His trial opened eyes and documented the Holocaust.
He was hanged, at 56, in Israel (May 31, 1962).

Why he might not be annoying

He was known to always be impeccably dressed with his hair and uniform precise and his boots shined.
He would give the children chocolate, before proceeding with the torture (very bizarre).
He obtained doctorates in Medicine (1938) and Anthropology (1935).

Why he might be annoying

When he finally stopped recording into a boom box, some fans accused him of selling out.
