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

also IA that my quiet lunch in a coffee shop was ruined by a cacophony of loud-talkers and forced me to abandon my quiet lunch and retreat back to the office.

loudtalkers make me the most IA of all humans on this earth. i hate them

I am just generally IA today. I am in severe back pain. I cant hear properly in one ear. Its winter and dark and cold. I was telling a rambling story about the new security system at our work and my lovely partner told me to shut up and "stop complaining" (the actual thing he said, when I said anyone could walk in and shoot us, was "well then at least the complaining would stop". Charming)

I had a customer unleash a barrage of swearing at me on my first call of the day.

I am ready to fucking cut a bitch.

:(

i just hate when people turn left while driving. no exceptions.

twice while i was driving to the gym i was stopped at lights and the person in front of me, after waiting a long time at the light, signaled to turn left. i would have gotten in the right lane had you assholes signaled earlier. now there's no room for me to do that and i'm stuck behind you long after it turns green. think of someone other than yourself for once. at least they signaled at all unlike 90% of maryland drivers who are unaware of what signaling is. i guess? ARGH

People who block doors while having a conversation - wtf

Every morning when I leave the house and then the corner there is someone sitting in a car parked in the street with the door open having a conversation with a person standing in the middle of the street. Same people, same time, every day.

i am sick to death of waiting for water to boil

i think this one fits because it's pretty irrational - but saw a guy wearing a suit walking a dog with his wife. Why not change and then go walk the dog, instead of looking like a total douchebag

Suddenly there's an epidemic of dickheads driving around with dealer placards (their logo, not proper dealer plates) and apparently California only requires a tiny registration paper in the front window (until you get your real plates withing NINETY DAYS), so if some asshole in a brand new generic car runs over a pedestrian or forces you off the road you have no way to identify him. Good policy. Especially since about a third of these people drive like they've got diplomatic immunity.

Also, people who list "being present" as something they do on dating sites. Fuck off with that shit.

At least it's ONLY 90 days now!

Ah HA!

And wow, what a dick.

Youtubers who for some unknown fucking reason have their playlists BACKWARDS!

Ambush potlucks. aka, not standalone parties that are potlucks that you can decline, but something you already have to go to that is later turned into a potluck (ie a theatre rehearsal or a work meeting).

I can't cook worth a shit so naturally always feel the crap I bring is inferior and then feel too guilty to eat other people's stuff. or I just bring nothing and get stinkeye and then bring my lunch which is equally awkward.

I thought that said 'Amish potlucks' at first glance, which did indeed seem like an irrational irritant.

yeah man cooking these meatballs over a candle was a bitch

anytime i see a car running outside of a place w nobody in it, i kinda want to steal that car just to prove how stupid it is to do that

too lazy to park your new Lexus? well looky now you don't have a car at all

I love committing crimes to teach people lessons.

Adam OTM, plus it's illegal in many states to leave your car running unattended.

I won't even do it to go to the mailbox 30 feet away, but I also live in a not so good part of town

Opening Google maps on my phone, get the message 'to continue, let your device turn on location using Google's location service'.
No! You don't need to know where I am in order to tell me where another place is!! Stop making me cancel out of this message just to look at a sodding map!

this enrages me approx 20x per week

Hell, that comes up when I'm searching on my desktop - just on the front page, not even maps!

yup, mine too

people who started some new fad diet or began working out for the first time in years and now profess themselves to be experts on all things health-related

You don't need to know where I am in order to tell me where another place is!!

People who want my sympathy over traffic tickets they totally deserved

Okay it's avocados today. Fucking garbage fruit. Always bruised. Always moldy ON THE INSIDE. I cut one in half that feels perfectly ripe on the outside, half of it's brown/grey, there's mold growing AROUND THE PIT, little voids under the skin... I'm half expecting to find hair and teeth inside them. I love them but goddamn it, can I just get a good one once in a while?

People at work saying "Happy _________" day of the week. No. Fuck off.

"Happy (day of the week)" rather.

Go away, Minions.

xxpost President Keyes otm

one of my closest friends got a ticket for parking within however many feet of a hydrant (area is marked) and whiiiiined about it nonstop but i was like, you werent clear of the space, idk what you want from me

no kidding! I was amazingly confused by a an acquaintance's facebook post a few years back about having received another speeding ticket on her route to work where she said something about finding a different route to work

like, uh, could you drive a little slower? pretty sure driving slightly slower, maybe even the legal speed, on your direct route to work would be faster than an indirect route

I got enough speeding tickets that I would have come within a point of suspension 5-6 years ago (if a cop hadn't given me a warning). Not once did I think "man, if only I just DRIVE ON A DIFFERENT ROAD AND MAKE NO OTHER PERSONAL CHANGES, I'll be fine".

really isn't that hard to just....drive slower. yeah you're used to driving fast but like I got used to it pretty fast when money kept flying out of my pocket due to tickets.

the guy who used to give out the free newspaper in the morning at my local transit station used to bellow "happy friday eve" on thursdays. wanted to kill him

Fridays are my busiest workdays.

Fucking technology drives me crazy more and more. I come home from eight weeks abroad, no-one was here, nothing has changed, nothing was touched. I turn on the telly and it says "Please plug in your HDMI-cable". It is plugged in. It says it can't find it. I say look harder you piece of shit. No dice. It worked ok when I left. I cannot stand stuff like this. Same with fucking computers who won't do today what they did fine yesterday: no-one touched or changed anything, you are supposed to BE THE SAME AS I LEFT YOU. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE A COMPUTER, THAT YOU DO NOT CHANGE UNLESS I TELL YOU TO.

I was reminded of my summer job, sorting onions, when I was 15 or 16. Our boss was a notorious asshat you'd quickly learn to tiptoe around. He resembled Tony Soprano in build and temper. He'd have no trouble kicking or slapping kids as young as 13 if he found they didn't do their job properly. He once threw a poor kid down the stairs. For some reason my buddy and I were on his good side, but it was still quite harrowing (I don't know why we didn't leave earlier either, probably because he paid dirty money in a small envelope every Saturday). During coffee break in the canteen there was an atmosphere of complete dread and fear. He could lash out at any time. The new kids who thought they could crack a joke learned the hard way real quick.
Anyway, one time at morning coffee break, boss started rambling (as he did: he expected all of us, ten kids or so, to listen to him but not say anything back). Oh how he hated computers. There was always some machine that didn't work, the software needed upgrading, it would malfunction on bags of 25kg of onions would tear or not be sewn straight, and it would costs him 100s of dollars every ten minutes. Of the many things he disliked, he especially didn't care for things out of his control that cost him money.

So he was rambling on about how "the government" should ban computers, how life was better without them, society being in the gutter and all that, when he said:
"I will pay BIG money for the person who builds a robot that will destroy ALL computers on earth."
My buddy and I looked at each other, and knowing fully well we were risking our teenage lives, and knowing exactly what the both of us were thinking that very second, I nodded and gave him the go-ahead. He replied:
"But a robot is also a computer."

Boss threw over the table, cups of coffee flying through the air, he kicked a little boy opposite from us because he laughed at the reply, and because he couldn't reach us, threw both his clogs at our heads. They're pretty hard on the nose tbf.

At times I think he was completely right though. Destroy all technology. End the fucking misery already.

Boss got busted and served time due to growing marihuana on a massive scale some ten years ago. The end.

because flesh is weak and forms break down they cannot last forever

whoa unexpected twist ending to the boss's venture

if he'd had robots to grow the weed for him he might hav

in a pique of rage at technology lbi flees civilization and becomes a child slapping luddite onion farmer

It's all nurture mahnnn, tech and my boss made me do it. Though I probably won't ever be an onion dude: teh stink man! Marihuana most have smelled like roses to this guy. My buddy and I would scrub ourselves 30mins solid in the shower afterwards on the Saturday, hoping to neck girls in the disco the same night, but boy that stench was just with us all weekend.

i feel overly oniony even just after eating greek salad

It killed off his business proper tbh! Funny thing was my buddy and I hadn't been in touch for years, until he friended me on FB because he read a newspaper article about boss being busted for this and wanted to reach out to me. Not so funny that fb us fucking tech too tbh.

Oh man, you have not lived your life fully! Sorting out rotten onions from the good ones and cleaning up after: that is overly oniony.

Grilled onions or no onions

the marijuana stench is real, too, and even worse that the plants are sticky

a couple friends were traveling around the country years ago and ended up working at an acquaintance's recently legally started farm to help with the harvest. I guess they had to throw away some of their clothes because it would never wash out

Boss must have been destined to follow the path from rotten onions to weed all along then.

I think they're too distinct and you could never use one odor to cover the other, unfortunately

Onions pffft

Glowing-green mackerel, dead three weeks. *Thats* a fucking stink
