ITT San Te & Schlafsack get angry. You can too.

this is for you Schlaf!

spinoff from the innocuous things that make you irrational angry thread, many of us have started posting not so innocuous things that have made us rationally furious, so that's what this thread is for.

it's for venting in as much of an OTT fashion as you want to, without being judged (well ok I can't guarantee that, this is ILX.

cry on your family's shoulder. do it. scream that you're mad as hell! tell that friend off cryptically because you're too scared to in person!

but no innocuous stuff, that goes in the innocuous thread.

Sick of trying to validate my ticket on the tram but not being able to put it in the slot because some TWAT is blocking it with his/her hand. I mean there's like a jazillion places to put your hand on a tram, you do not need to block the fucking metcard hole. Have given up asking nicely and just rudely push them out of the way now.

I mean seriously, right, if you're some dense cockwit and you're clutching the one thing that everyone who gets on the tram needs to access, you're going to have to move your hand out of the way roughly six times a minute, right? So why leave it there??

Cannot believe the immense stupidity of some people.

all the people in the other thread who profess just 'rudely push ppl out of the way now' or similar sentiments

sorry, just sayin.

yeah well we have a live to live and places to be so

Oh god I really hate the title of this thread. Sorry. Expecting a mod to lock/delete it soon tbh.

lol it was your damn idea!

way to throw a brotha under the bus!!!

dont do that, there's people on that bus got important places to be etc

and schlaf can't get his ticket validated

Yeah but I can see 98% of ilx patronage seeing that title in sna and developing an instant seething hatred xxp

should i change it to "FREE GUCCI MAN CUSTOM MIXTAPES" or somethin

have a new title

\(O___O)/

so I gamble on sp0rtsb0ok.com a bit, and I've been winning a lot lately. Because I've only done it off and on, I've never done more than two withdrawals in a month. Earlier in the month i had performed a wire transfer of winnings, and I looked on the page and it said "Direct Deposit" and in the fee column it said "two free per month", so I did that. no mention in the transaction of any fee.

Days later, when I look at the status, I see they charged me $30. I in very polite terms reported it and asked if it was a mistake. When I was told "you only get one withdrawal free per month" and that I did an "ACH withdrawal, and not a Direct Deposit", I again politely mentioned what it said about two free per month, and that I had clicked Direct Deposit -- there was no ACH Withdrawal option.

They kept going back and forth with me for two days insisting that I chose the ACH deposit option, and citing links and saying it clearly said $30. The last email was snide and said 'I'm sorry you feel that way', very dismissive of me being pissed off, then asked me to send screenshots if I was still convinced their site was wrong.

So I did...because on going back on the site, everything I claimed is true. I have to prove to them that their site says what I say it says. Fucking ridiculous. I'm sure some assholes don't pay attention and/or stretch the truth, but well I wasn't lying, as the pics will show.

I bet you said 'ACH' rite

lol

ACH NOOOOO

I'm here for you dudes. Don't have much rational anger today but...day's not over yet :D

I don't understand potato crisps and I'm really really angry that they even exist.

o wait wrong thread

well, how angry are you about it? maybe this is the right place for you?

Crinkle cuts suck!

seasoned fries suck, too.

i have discovered miraculous news, tho: DENNY'S STEAK FRIES ARE CRISPY AND GOOD.

you better have an angry punchline to that

ALL OTHER FRIES SUCK!

better.

too-thick crinkle-cut kettle chips slice up my mouth like razor blades THEY FUCKING SUCK AND I HATE THEM

this still feels like the IA thread. Namesakes of the thread, you best be stepping it up ITT

FUCK FLIES

Also SUVs, get fucked you fucking fucks.

appalled at hatred of crisps

just potato crisps, the rest are superb

I hate managers who practice "gotcha" management.

For instance - a person who supervises me sent me an email, asking me a question. I went back and forth with him, trying to clarify what exactly he was asking so that I could provide him with an answer.

I eventually called him, and told him what I was not understanding. He responds "Well, I would have to check my emails, but I thought I asked you to look at . . . "

Dude. I'm calling you because I don't understand what it is that you are asking me to find out. If it were any other way, I would spare myself the humiliation of you telling me I'm too thick to understand you.

Hulk. Smash.

you know what's even better than that? after all the associates in your office leave work early after your holiday party in late december, put a post-it on each of their computer monitors saying "emergency project, must be completed today; please come see me immediately." watch their stunned reactions after new years.

good times.

Serious? O_O

omg running at u with knives

him, not you

nah. never done that to associates. tempted to, but never done it.

oh, blam's manager. sorry; got it.

FUCK BANKS

srsly. fucking fuck banks.

(the monetary instutions, ppl - not like Banks of the Seine, Carlton Banks or anything like that)

i was gonna say

I'M MAD THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TERRAPIN RYE PALE ALE LEFT. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

You drink beer made of amphibians?

I DRINK BEER MADE WITH THE BLOOD OF POSERS. DEATH TO FALSE METAL

stupid lady that keeps shouting "c'mon Jake" is back. idk if she's calling a pet but seriously do you think you need to yell it that loud...damn dog is like 20 feet from you, I'm inside a house ways away from you and I can hear you. shut the fuck up!

my roommate nuked something in the microwave a half hour ago, and left it there. Reason I'm annoyed to angry -- this microwave, after the cooking is done, beeps every 30 seconds or so until the door is opened and youtake your food out.

SICK OF FUCKING HEARING IT, GET YOUR DAMN FOOD

started to get anxiety attacks before my 10 minute show tonight, but had calmed myself down and was in a good mood before the show started, cracking jokes, and ready to go. then a bumbling stagehand dropped a flat on me.

I mean, the thing was too thin to hurt me seriously, it hit me in the head, but I was fine...and the audience warned me in time. but the embarassment of it plus the frustration of it ruined my concentration. guy is a friend and I know he didn't mean it, so it's not like I'm fuming mad at him, but at the same token, he's constantly screwing shit up when he's left to do things on his own. Putting stuff in the wrong place, forgetting to do things....and for him to have let the flat fall over suggests he just flat out wasn't paying attention, as those things are pretty secure when you set them up right.

don't go all christian bale on him!

Scuse my thespignorance but whats a flat?

trouble with flat mates

a flat is basically a wooden structure, often used to stand on in theatrical productions. In this case, they were being stood upright as a place for our off-stage voiceover actresses to stand behind, as well for me to enter from behind. They were pretty thin wooden flats, with reinforced legs to keep them from falling. Dude set it up wrong and it went falling over on me.

fortunately this one wasn't heavy, if it'd been a hefty flat I mighta needed stitches lol

structure should have read "platform", thought I updated that...oops

O I get the kind thing you mean.

You should have turned to the audience and said "....I didn't do it!"

lol. good ad lib actually, will have to remember it if it happens again tomorrow

Hopefully at least some ppl will get the reference haha ;)

one of my fav simpsons episodes, if the crowd doesn't get it i'll shove chia pets up their asses

As a student, I used to live on the scummiest "walks" (i.e. so horrible, they didn't build a road outside in case anyone deigned to drive down it) in Colchester. Every morning this big pink marshmallow of a woman would stand outside my bedroom window to shout "CAM 'ERE!" at her kids who were outside in HER garden several doors down.

Really hate it when I listen to a call where one of our reps puts someone on hold for five-ten minutes without checking in. Its just really rude and lazy.

Twice this morning I nearly missed my tram stop because some munter made disembarking motions, got as far as the doorway and just stopped.

A homeless chick - nice enough really - was panhandling on the tram this morning. This snooty toorak lady next to me (who'd been kind of talking to herself earlier!?) muttered "never seen them do that on a TRAM before".

Felt like saying "lady you must not get many trams".

Seen loads of self-talkers on PT recently.

you know i don't think i ever have been asked for $ on a tram, which surprises me..

Yeah neither have I, come to think of it. Increasing # of beggars in the city though

hey tard who hit yer brakes in the intersection at a green light, making us all have to slam on ours -- don't care if you were lost, if you do it again I'm driving my Suzuki up the crack of your ass

pic or it didn't happen (Suzuki up ass crack, I mean)

alright, so...

had a rough two days at work and I'm traveling next week so I'm stressed out, but looking forward to hanging out with friends at karaoke to cool out and have laughs. Normally I get there at 10 pm-ish, but I had a panic episode severe enough to make me think I was going to pass out at about the time I was supposed to leave. I took a warm shower and thought some relaxing thoughts/did breathing exercises, and got calmed down. Texted friend and said I was on my way, leaving at about 10 pm (takes about 20 mins to get there).

On the way there, my nerves start acting up again, and I'm looking kind of pale when I enter the building. A few of my friends are there and say hello. Main friend sees me, gives me a curt "hello", and says "You look dead". And just kinda sits in silence.

To break the ice, I ask her how HER day was, and she finally starts chatting, and we start lightening up a bit. I notice she's wearing beads, and just casually say "So where'd ya get those beads?", and she snaps "Get here at 10 o'clock next time and you'll find out". I jokingly tell her she's being hostile but I'm actually half-serious about it.

I decide to make one last attempt to engage this friend in pleasant convo, so when she asks what song she should do next, I jokingly say "Barbie Girl", and she gives me this pretentious melodramatic stare for what seems like a minute, then says something like "You know, you are about five minutes from being replaced". (Zuh?).

Clearly some of her comments were made in jest, but my humor button is broken after the days I've had, and she knew I had a rough day cuz I'd texted her about it the day before. It's not like I wanted to sit at the bar and talk about my bad day, but just a 'hey, how are ya doing?' would have been nice instead of a 'you look dead'. Because Lord knows, I always asked her how her days were, and she was texting me nonstop about her bad days last week, and I let her vent and offered support. But when it's me, it's inconvenient?

So at this point I decide to give up, and talk to my other friends, feeling a bit injured at this point, and then she just unceremoniously decides to ditch me (and one other friend) and go sit at another table with other people we know (one with no empty seats). and doesn't return.

Decided to bail at this point -- I was flustered cuz this was a girl I had been interested in for the last month, we'd had good chemistry, and now she'd just treated me like garbage on a night where I just needed to have fun. On the plus side...I'm no longer interested in her!

My best friend texts me and I tell him I'm having a crap night, so he says he's coming to join me, and I give him an alternate location and blow the joint without saying goodbye to anybody. Best friend was a bro and got me laughing and joking again, like a tr00 best friend should, but y'know...lately I feel like that some of my friends don't take me very serious. Think it's time for a reassessment of some of them.

None of this woulda upset me on a normal night, but on a night where I was feeling pretty low, it felt like being kicked when down.

okay...rant over. sleep DID help thankfully.
