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

He's an unfunny, untalented, arrogant charisma vacuum. Everyone I know thinks he's a cunt and so do I.

^^^^ this

xp Neanderthal heh

But for some reason he has the stink of britpop lad culture on him.

I got the impression England had basically gotten sick of him for this very reason and he was banished over here. Also get the impression his super nice "character" is entirely an act designed to steal some of Fallon's thunder.

hes more stage school than lad culture

the angle he holds his head at warrants serious consideration, like one of those spitting dinosaurs just prior to a strike

a beautiful but deadly addition to american television

When someone says 'are you there' on the phone while having spent the last 40 minutes talking to them and taking 2 seconds to breathe. Strikes me as high maintenance.

Technology getting too small to be handled comfortably. Had to pick up a Flash drive at the airport cos I realised i'd left my memory stick at my mother's place. Now got this thing which is 32GB but is the size of a thumbnail including the part you stick into the computer.
So actually being able to take it out of the computer and put in the tv then take it out of the slot there is a pain.
Could do with a handle or something.

Can't get a grip on it if i have it on a multiusb extension thing cos it doesn't stick out as far as the USB connections on the cables beside it.

was it a name brand drive in original packaging? I'm justifiably paranoid guy when it comes to flash memory devices

Yeah, it was name drive bought from name high st type shop. Airport branch.
It's just really fiddly cos the only bit that isn't the metal connection is a couple of mm thick plastic handle strip. So manipulating in and out of slots demands manual dexterity. Not sure how easy to see through bubble pack it would be. Hate to need to use this if I had arthritis or something. Slot on tv is an indent behind the screen so it's a pain. Memory stick was its own handle for things like that. Several cm of body etc.

I'm with you on those, especially the little bluetooth things.

Had to pick up a Flash drive at the airport

Glad I read the rest of the sentence. Was wondering why you didn't tell it to just grab a taxi.

The fact that Justin Theroux's name is at the top of the cast credits in Mulholland Dr., and not Naomi Watts'.

^ For sure.

I wish we also lived in a time when a movie with a female ensemble class was not billed or perceived as a "female movie" VS. whether it's just a good or bad film.

Overheard a relative and my 7-year-old son talking about Ghostbusters this Christmas

RELATIVE: Did you ever see the sequel? People didn't like it as much as the first one.

SON: No, I've only seen one Ghostbusters. Why didn't they like it?

RELATIVE: Well, first of all, the Ghostbusters were girls....

And yeah, I had so many corrections I wanted to make out loud, but the relative was female and I didn't want to jump in to mansplain the canon and timeline of Ghostbusters to her.

don't even get me started on why the cartoon series was called "the real ghostbusters"

Tuomas's idea that somehow rock guitars are The Enemy.

they are though

probably going to catch flak for eating at a fuddruckers but hey, fuddruckers, how the FUCK you run out of BUNS

people turning the most mundane event into a lengthy conversational anecdote:

so i got a man in and i said "can you fix the ceiling fan" and he said "let me have a look" and he had a look and he said "i'll try to fix it" and he couldn't fix it so i said "what can we do now" and he said "i'll check with head office" and he called head office and he said "we should probably replace the ceiling fan" and they said "yeah that's fine you should replace the ceiling fan" and he hung up and he said "we're going to replace your ceiling fan" and i said "thank you" and he said "we can do it tomorrow" and i said "well that'll be fine"

ok so you've got a new ceiling fan

and several new fans right on this thread

when u mistake an opener only bottle cap for a twist off & shred the fuck out of yr hand trying to open it :(

I have done that - ow ow ow.

i did it tonight & it sucks & i was mad

The state of the paving in the main pedestrianised part of town. Supposed to be even but instead large dip after large dip after loose brick. Most of the time during the day you're trying to avoid somebody walking into you anyway.
So won't be surprised if I hear the council getting sued for accidents.
Also when this was first pedestrianised around the milenium it was given to the same firm in perpetuity. So they'd be fixing their own work to the same standard and not making sure it didn't need to be fixed.

People with huge amounts of dangly shit hanging from their rear-vision mirror. Got a lift from a workmate who had mini disco ball, two air fresheners, some Catholic tat and a teddy bear all hanging from there. How the fuck do you see to drive?

i hate that!

this is deliberate sabotage on behalf of bottle cap designers imo. they all look the same ffs.

1. People who talk on cell phones while on the bus

+

2. Who also happen to be directly behind you and coughing but you cannot tell if they're covering their mouth.

= IA

3. And whose entire conversation consists of telling people that they are on a bus

when your office has perfectly fine spaces to gather & smoke yet ppl still insist on STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING SIDEWALK

like i dont even have a beef with smoking or anything

it's just the standing around IN MY WAY like fucking dullards that i object to

xp

4. to five call recipients in immediate succession, because this type of person can't bear to be quiet for more than 10 seconds

although i'd rather they bore their friends/family shitless than yapping at me while i'm wearing headphones, which are the internationally reognised symbol of leave-me-alone

yet ppl still insist on STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING SIDEWALK

same people who step off escalators and just stand there

yes ugh

and stare at you like farm animals when you excuse yourself past them

"why would you need to go somewhere? this footpath is enjoyable to stand on"

BAAAAAA

walk up sheeples

vape up sheeples

3. And whose entire conversation consists of telling people that they are on a bus

This is better than what I usually hear on subway--today a guy on phone threatening to beat up a woman, every other day a bunch of homophobic slurs

When a subway car arrives and all the seats are empty but people are crowding the doors in anticipation of getting off at the NEXT stop. And even though the train is not moving they won't budge from their positions to let you through to the seats.

when people i don't know who have no interest in actually shopping/buying come in my store and start talking to me and ask me how my store is doing financially. last week, some stranger asked me if i can pay my rent. this is after i told them that i've been there for 8 years. seems rude. and makes me irrationally angry. but i came frome a family where such things were just. not. done.

sometimes i will return the favor and ask them how their job is going and if they're doing okay.

also seems a little mean. "i don't want to buy anything i just want to incredulously/disingenuously ask you how you can make a living doing what you're doing."

i should just guilt them from now on. why don't i guilt them? "I do okay, It's always nice when someone comes in and buys something from a local shop. I REALLY appreciate it. Let me know if you need help finding anything."

keep coming across this on buses. A crowd of people stand towards the front or blocking the stairs obscuring the fact that there are seats on the back row downstairs or half of upstairs being free.

With the bus thing the crowd seems to accumulate as people assume that there can't be anything beyond the crowd.
I've wound out calling out before taht there are seats at the back.

Even if there is a reason for people to be standing it seems to take a while for the idea to sink in that people should move down the aisle.

same people who step off escalators and just stand there

Always imagine them thinking, "The floor quit moving. Something must be wrong!"

The halfway-point of those is people who rush onto a subway/train when it's about to leave then stop, not thinking "maybe other people are in the same situation, and are about to arrive in the small of my back".

Also people who step off and stand in front of the elevator door looking dazed and then move away just as the doors close, leaving the people waiting to get on stuck outside

This is a student thing big time
