Things That Annoy You

[VtaGeezer]

Why can't grocery stores, pharmacies, fast food joints, etc. have a special Expert Lane for people who aren't totally confused about what they want, how to pay, where they are, etc.  You could have an Express Lane Enforcement Gaurd who would give you ten seconds to prove you're a pro, and if not you'd be gently nudged into one of the Slowpoke Lanes.  I'm only half-joking about this.

I'd go for it; a slam window; you get 30 seconds to place your order; if you miss, a trap door opens.  And I'm not joking.

Yes!  And also point a public webcam at it so folks can watch the disappearing dummies. 

[Yorkshire pud]

Yeah!  And where are the morbidly obese and the be-pimpled?  Don't they deserve a break today?

Sex with animals is to be banned in Denmark. To bring them into line with Germany, Norway and Sweden. However all is not lost if anyone is now getting anxious; it's still legal in Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, and Washington, DC.

Sex with robots is much more visually stunning anyway.

The most I can say is that I'm angel-nostic.

Now, the idea that there are multiple dimensions and that in one of them I am wholly evil (and sporting a killer goatee!) is totally believable.... 😉

Does the fact that I'm seeing a lot more goatees than I did as a kid mean I switched to the evil universe?  There are other hints too, like for instance the host of a program called Coast to Coast AM used to be Art Bell and now it's George Noory.  And then there's BellGab...

For a minute there I thought our horse porn was in jeopardy.

That brings up another question.  How are animals supposed to reproduce in Denmark now?

      Honesty used to be the best policy.

      Nowadays, honesty puts you in the Asperger's spectrum.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
Honesty is definitely one of the more segregating gifts you can give yourself.  I imagine it wouldn't be so bad if I could honestly say nice things. It's highly unfortunate that if most people had a second brain, it would be lonely.

I went to one of the local Asian Supermarkets, a pretty big place, not a small storefront.

Damn, and there I was thinking I was all authentic for eating quinona(sp).


I guess it is better than Mueslix, wait no, what was that one, something to do with the 'new' grain, not oha, Kashi!

Sure, quinona...  Surely a new superfood on the order of some new pepper or whichever..............

Ginger, toomeric (I know the stooge is a fan, it does make good curry, and no it is not the ingredient that makes curry...)


Quinona?  American and therefore bad for the world diet...

[pate]

Forget quinonia (sp: queer) and this whole thing:

So nobody has been annoyed about anything for four days now?  Okay, who are you people and what have you done with BellGab?

[zeebo]

Here's one.  Note to people who say "shameless plug" before touting something in their own interest.  This does not absolve you from shame.

Connie Willis.

You may know her from such sucks as C2C AM, HSN and QVC!

Being in the media, Connie is also in development of three documentaries, one that will change the world's view of UFOs, another that will change the way humans will see the world dealing with extra-terrestrials, and an additional film which investigates Bigfoot. Additionally, she has written two ebooks, under the title Win Any Lottery, which provide a technique to win the lottery using a method the military used to locate weapons, soldiers and hostages. Beyond that, she is a guest blogger for Huffington Posts' “Weird News," is currently studying radionics, and has been working closely with Dr. Mulder on what he calls his "Wishing Machines."

Is that how they located the weapons of mass destruction? I heard that after winning $180M in the powerball lottery she just works for the fun of it. She also wished she could just be 1/2 as good as Gnoory.

[wr250]

the lottery she hit was "how to remote view lottery numbers"

People who, upon pushing their cart into a position where it blocks the entrance, decide THAT is the perfect time to start rooting around for their Costco card.

I`m annoyed by people that are constantly annoyed

I hate it when I am at a farmers' market and encounter a perfect storm of human congestion:  a clot of people conversing in the center of the aisle just as a couple with a double wide stroller, a guy with a walker, a matched-outfit couple with spaniels on leashes, and a signature gatherer all come together and phlegm up the space-time continuum!

That happens with you too buddy? No way?

People around me who think this year things will be different for the Detroit Lions.
No, they're  the Lions and they will fall apart at the end of the season as usual.

I don't mind people who take up more space or with mobility problems, like most of the folks on your list appear to be.  That's just how it is and they can't do anything about it.  What annoys me are people who block egress in public places because they are self-absorbed asshats. 

It really doesn't take any more time to wheel your cart out of the flow of traffic before dashing off to score a free fuckin sample of food.  It really isn't necessary to stand there, blocking people moving in both directions, so they can watch you stuff your cakehole and chomp away like some sort of self-satisfied hamster. 

It really doesn't matter, in the scheme of things, if you move off to the side and let some people pass while you dig through a series of 15 purses that are like a set of fuckin Russian nested dolls looking for your Costco card.  Not all of them are heading off to grab "your" free samples.

What I've found that works to a certain extent to clear a path through crowds, is to be holding a big cup of soda/beer/juice/water, arm outstretched at shoulder level, appear to not be carefully watching where I'm going, say 'excuse me, excuse me', and plow right ahead. 

People get out of the way..

I always have plenty of space around me on BART since I started hanging my knob out of my zipper.  It doesn't matter how crowded it gets.

Both my mother and sister-in-law would tend to walk into a place and then just stand at the entrance as they got their bearings or tried to coordinate their plans with whomever they were with.  This even happened during the Olympics when, as you can imagine, there were crowds of people trying to get in and out.  It's not that they didn't care -- they were just completely unaware.  It would annoy me no end.
