start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

the mayo smearing their faces, the ants crawling up their soda splashed legs

Cole slaw in their hair, apple pie filling congealing between their fingers.

But, yes. Eating in full-blast heat & humidity is nauseating. Don't get it.

What if lunch is a slice of watermelon and a tall glass of ice cubes? What then?

je55e otm. These ppl with their low resting heart rates & no sweat glands, pah

I don't even understand when people choose to stand when a chair's nearby

xpost Man, I almost always hate eating outside (bugs, heat, noise). And I especially hate sitting on the ground, for all those reasons, plus uncomfortable.

bugs, heat, noise, people seeing me, stupid jerk sunlight reflecting off of me to aid people in seeing me

People eating ice cream in the rain in autumn or winter always struck me as odd. You see it quite a bit. Oh NO maybe the fact that summer looks like that anyway confuses them.
BUt you do see it around quite a bit after the temperature noticeably drops.

because ice cream is delicious in all weather conditions

Body temp's always gonna be around 100.

I don't understand people who try to open a bathroom stall door, find that it is locked, and then knock on the door until the person inside acknowledges them. I can see knocking before you pull on the door, just to avoid opening an improperly locked door on someone. When this happens I usually ignore the knocking to see how far they'll take it.

That's pretty rude, maybe they just wanna have a conversation.

"Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ?"

"I don't mean to intrude but it smells like you have the devil in you"

people who take clearly satirical/fictional articles seriously and then blame 'the way things are going these days' and/or 'Poe's law' when their mistake is pointed out to them

Ha, I was in an argument with someone the other day who thought that 'baa baa black sheep' had been banned. I pointed out that that story had been around since the 80s and they said that how crazy this PC stuff is it's perfectly believable. I see the same pattern with Clinton - she's untrustworthy, but if you probe any specific act they believe the worst because she's untrustworthy.

So much Microsoft fodder for this thread.

"I noticed you've been writing an entire document in Times New Roman 12, so I was thinking you'd probably like it if I switch your font to Calibri 11 at random times for no apparent reason."

"Hey, remember how you used to be able to save and print shit without going into a different window? We figured we'd make that one step harder.'

"Oh hey, you know that toolbar at the top that made it possible to even get to that stuff? We figured we'd just take it out of your way entirely."

Man I was getting sick of being asked if - wait, no, WHEN - I wanted to upgrade to Windows 10 and now the deadline has passed and I am dead to Microsoft and fucking loving it.

fucking yes this has been happening to me all day also yes please I'd like every paragraph in this 70-page document to switch to Header Style 1

there used to be an option in word somewhere where you could set some value to 2.0cm and it'd show you a column down the side with the paragraph style next to each paragraph. i couldn't find it the other day when using Word 2003. but then i couldn't find much at all with the ribbony thing.

jobsites that require word documents for linux-related jobs, gtfo.

koogs, it is still possible in Draft view, but it is tricky to find. Here's a tutorial.

at times i am using MS word and it spontaneously tries to center justify things then types letters TTTHHHRRREEE TTTIIIMMMEEESSS

Record companies that sell albums as MP3s which you buy at higher-than-iTunes rates and they come with no album art or metadata like 'artist' or 'track title' or 'album title'.

ms word 2010 "shrink to 1 page" no longer a menu option you have add the fucking command to your custom toolbar and THEN you can use it

cmon

Thanks mad puffin, that's the one. Single most useful option in the whole of word hidden in a collapsed column.

Unfortunately / fortunately the work PC was nuked on Tuesday when we closed the office so I don't have access to word anymore. LibreOffice hasn't thought to implement that default invisible option afaik.

All my music purchases get run through mp3tag because every site has a different standard and all of them are worse than mine. It'll even allow you to import details from a text file so easy enough to grab the basics from discogs rather than having to type them in yourself. Handy for those untagged 25 track various artists comps

there is now an entire industry of faux-satirical journalism that's meant to confuse and incite partisans. i direct my anger at the websites rather than the easy marks. and the lack of mandatory media literacy classes in the american school system.

I almost have to give some of those sites a slow clap for their work.

http://www.jobsnhire.com/articles/10390/20140704/melissa-mccarthy-dies-43-report-obituary-actress-mccarthys-alleged-death.htm

i was gonna post somewhere about the really weird melissa mccarthy clickbait. most of it is advertising garcinia cambogia (sp?) like she was fired from mike and molly because she stopped being fat one weird trick

"I.. just.. I can't believe it! They're cancelling an amazing show JUST because I decided to finally be healthy. It makes no sense! They said I no longer fit the part, which is outrageous. It all started when some of my colleagues recommended Garcinia Pills, something they had seen on a Dr. Oz episode. When your life revolves around being on camera and on stage, you always have to look good for the fans and for yourself. I saw a HUGE difference in less than a week!"

I hate that the front page of BBC news is Olympics every day. Even if I cared about the Olympics, reading stuff underneath that is 'less important' is jarring.

Does the Guardian let people hide Olympics coverage, as they did in 2012?

I actively hate the Olympics, while everyone around me is somewhere between "meh, don't care" and "the Olympics represent the noblest and best impulses of humanity." It's a bit like hating puppies or rainbows.

Take heart, there are plenty of totally legit reasons to hate the Olympics. This year especially.

Well there are the brilliant athletes and then there's the execrable IOC, you can love the one and hate the other

how about when you type the word "Regards" on yr email, but you actually type "Retards", irrational because you always spot it and change it.

Receiving an email that ended with "Retards, ____" would pretty much make my day. Focus on the joy you'd bring if you accidentally hit 'send'.

Dear xxx
I put that file in the load area, but I don't think it's one of the files that gets loaded.
Retards,
Mark G

Misspellings in emails are pretty much all that get me through the day. For instance, I was copied on an email from a coworker (let's call her Barb) to an outside party with the same first name which read, "Unfortunately, you weren’t the fist in Barb".

I like the Olympics, with the exception of:

-any sport that uses subjective scoring
-swimming
-any human interest story
-any commentary about doping. I support performance enhancing drugs. If I'm watching sports for entertainment, I want the athletes to perform super human feats by any means possible.

I will watch 2024's Cyborg Olympics.

> -swimming
> -any human interest story

b-but the refugee girl...

people spinning their wheels and making the same five points about Donald Trump over and over again in the election thread.

sounds like someone isn't watching enough tv!

we had one of those team-defining exercises at work. the bad ones make me angry, but this one was pretty ok. it included a bit where everyone introduced themselves and was supposed to describe a good day they've had at work. pretty innocuous, although it could be anger inducing. but i'm cool with it so far

what makes me irrationally angry is that, when these exercises are done, any pattern that starts is treated as part of the script. what was asked for was "i am <name> and my good day was when <this happened>"

it turned into "i am <name> and I have worked here for <x time> and..."

like dude I don't care, if you keep doing things like this then it's going to be a five data point ritual by the time it gets to the last person in the room!

yesterday i was sitting in a parking lot and someone backed his giant SUV into the spot next to me when the spot in front of it was open for a pull-through

Continually breaking needles while trying to finish off my jacket. Went out and bought a set of the more heavy duty 16s and have now broken the 3rd one of those. So wondering what my options are now.
Finding an industrial sewing machine?
