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

also dont shuffle along outside my door - just walk you fuckwit!

• The local newspaper will have some headline on their front page that says "Man Drives Car Off Cliff" and I'm like holy shit! But then I click on it and realize they've republished some story from California or South Australia or somewhere. If I want to read about Australian cliff drivers, I'll go to some .com.au address, not the Arkansas Legion-Dispatch or whatever.

• Commuters who let cars from side streets cut into major traffic arteries. If you think I'm cruel and heartless, let me add that this particular side street has access to a stoplight a block east. It's just that the sidestreet drivers are lazy and want free cuts. (One of these drivers I discovered one morning is my wife.)

• Speaking of which, the kids' elementary school has three options for its students at the end of the day: School buses, after-school care and "carpool". I would call it "pick-up" or something. I mean, I guess I'm carpooling with these kids every morning and afternoon, but it's not like they're chipping in on gas.

all otm, number two in particular

Drivers who think it is their right to pass a stopped bus no matter what, even if it means veering into the busy opposing lane, and even if they are the fifth car to pass and the bus is already moving again--so they end up driving alongside it for a block.

One of these drivers I discovered one morning is my wife.

grounds for divorce imo

Caption on Jezebel:

Sir Roger Moore, one of the original James Bonds, has died at the age of 89.

What the fuck does that mean, "one of the original James Bonds?"

He was my original James Bond. View to a Kill for life.

You're right, PP. Your anger is completely irrational.

"delivery within 7–10 days"

so… within 10 days. just say within 10 days.

chaunte
the outlandish multiple sclerosis

Delivery dudes who scan packages as Delivered as they put them on the truck, so that you get an email at 9am telling you your package has been delivered, then you go outside looking for it, and not seeing it go through some tracking and refund process and then the truck shows up at 4:30pm and dumps the package at your door.

Well hold up, foxy, let's see if this one sticks or not!

lmao yesss. and then hoping that box stays on long enough as the page tells you you've logged in or not.

the calculator app in windows 10 takes 1-2 seconds longer to launch than ye olde windows calculator. it's absurd how much this irritates me.

^^^ I fully relate to this IA

For me, today, fucking socks. Why can't I find good socks? Why do these shits have to slide down all the time? Why are all socks that go above your ankle apparently made for people with pipe cleaner legs? Why do sock companies hate cotton?

the tall/narrow format for some mass-market paperbacks. I don't understand why it exists, I hate it, I want it to stop.

The tall shelf in the refrigerator should be for the things that need to be on the tall shelf. Short things - especially short, wide things, like a tub of hummus - should be on the shorter shelves, else they eat up the space one needs for e.g. milk.

The Starbucks I go to has changed their lids so that the second smaller hole that is supposed to let air in when you take a sip is so small that I have to, like, treat the main drinking hole like a straw. And, sometimes, it's like the machine that was supposed to pierce that smaller hole didn't get to the lid that they gave me so there's no way I'm getting the amount of coffee I actually want when I take a sip.

drives me crazy too

protip- i keep an old ballpoint pen handy for this reason, so i can punch the smaller hole through if needed

I was trying to use one of my keys that has a smallerish tooth on it, but that was ultimately even more frustrating.

I almost made a complaint about it this morning.

a record i won on ebay was delivered thursday apparently i hope whoever got it is enjoying it right now

People who sit spread eagle on planes/buses. Thanks for taking away what little space i had away

Last two are justified anger. Nothing IA about those.

Why can't I find good socks? Why do these shits have to slide down all the time? Why are all socks that go above your ankle apparently made for people with pipe cleaner legs?

I am currently having this issue but with underwear. Why is all mens underwear really comfortable with soft wide elastic that doesnt curl up or dig in, but YOU CANNOT FIND THIS IN WOMENS UNDERWEAR. It is INSANE. Even so called "boyleg" knickers are still tiny scraps of material with SMALL TIGHT ITCHY ELASTIC.

Privilege!

;_;

People who draw on their vast experience of buying records they heard on the radio 20-30 years ago to let you know that "there's just no good new music these days."
Suspect I am far from the first ILXor whose buttons this presses, hard.

ugh I'm so tired of hand-wringing white people on social media. On FB thread a bunch of writers posting tributes to Denis Johnson, when the inevitable dunce posts "I'm only seeing white voices here. I feel like I'm in an exclusively white space. I need to hear what writers of color thought of Denis Johnson's work."

For me, today, fucking socks. Why can't I find good socks? Why do these shits have to slide down all the time? Why are all socks that go above your ankle apparently made for people with pipe cleaner legs? Why do sock companies hate cotton?

Not joking my bf wears sock garters every single day (that he wears socks).

just buy men's underwear trayce

This makes me IA for some reason - online newspapers going nuts for some Twitter cunt recycling a years old story, gullible idiots posting it on FB, etc

https://www.indy100.com/article/man-revenge-on-rude-people-coffee-shop-buys-domain-7745146

Probably hits some kind of Fake News button given the current political situation.

I'm going for a walk.

Tweets are from last week - is this someone making up a story thats happened before (or never happened at all)?

But yeah mob revenge mentality generally online is really getting to me lately. Especially when people get it damn wrong (reposting years old articles, believing BS without checking snopes or something).

It probably never happened but the exact same story went round 5 years ago and a couple of times since then e.g. http://iwastesomuchtime.com/39935

While we are talking horn honking, I hate it when someone too far to see the intersection starts honking at the stopped traffic, even though there is a wheelchair/old lady/group of little kids slowly crossing the intersection and everyone is stopped and waiting for a reason. So you, asshole in the back, first assume everyone is stopped for a reason. And then, give them a few seconds, jeez. You dick.

People who honk angrily at stalled cars that are pulled off to the side of road and flashing their hazard lights. I don't get the point of this since wouldn't you assume the car's owner would like to get moving?

the playing of long-necked lutes in adverts for insurance

http://www.vccp.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/2014/05/PENSIONS_STILLS.000006-1170x658.jpeg

That lute is not historically accurate for the period of the founding of London, nor for the founding year of that insurance company, nor for whatever period is supposed to be evoked by a swan-shaped paddleboat. And none of it goes with his outfit. So what the actual royal fuck?

Blue jeans are about the only 1861-ish thing in that photo.

p sure it's aiming for charming anachronistic quirk (in one of the others the performer is standing in a tree for no reason)
