Things That Annoy You

[eddie dean]

I'm convinced Glide is no longer as good as it was ten years ago.  It seems to break/shred alot more now.  I'm a twice-a-day flosser.  You might call me a floss enthusiast.  I can tell.

I think the quality went down after they stopped manufacturing it themselves, and instead licensed it out to corner-cutting mega-corporations. 

Maybe I should be posting this in the First World Problems thread.

Yeah, I've noticed the quality drop off a few years ago as well.  The floss got wider, which was very nice, but it shreads or  breaks so much easier now. or you get a tiny sliver that peels off the edge & you end up with long spiderweb-thin strings in your teeth.
  I know, It's rough.  still the best floss out there.

It will be easier to explain eyenoeyeno than Aldous.

You can send Aldous north.  Friends welcome, too. If the house fills up we can pitch a couple tents in the back yard.
We can fish in the pristine streams, er, after the dead fish clean up from the chemical fire last week. Or we can hunt robust white tailed deer, hmm, except for the fear of steadily encroaching wasting disease. Or we can just sample some of our world famous apple orchards, ahh, the ones that haven't been decimated by stink bugs.  Or we could....Uh, maybe it would just be best to avoid Pennsylvania all together. 
I can see the smokestacks of Three Mile Island from the interstate that runs by my house....
I'd crawl back into bed, but I gotta' go to weeeeeerrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkk.  Have a nice day.   :

Father's Public Shaming Tragically Leads to Teen's Suicide

   That annoying Sam Cooke imitator who says "baby" roughly 237 times in his horrible song that indie/college stations are playing as part of their "see, we play a black artist every 20th song" criteria. Just the pits. Fuck him and his "recorded like it was 1964" bullshit. I hope he dies in a fleabag hotel too.

Girls are sold into sexual slavery or burned alive in other countries, but this is what these "third wave" feminists are squawking about.

Personally, I like the idea of this phenomena of "reclaiming" the word slut and "slut-walks." Though, apart from a few, most you don't want to see parading themselves in public (the various FEMEN protests are the exception, but, interestingly, I hear are organized by some "guy".) A new Dark Weekend City show, perhaps? Could meet some interesting gals and make an interesting show.....

"creeping sexism."

Well, that's apparently not what you'd think it would be based on the name

I got into a tiff with a female coworker a few years ago, for that very thing. She wasn't a guy and deserved to be recognized as a female. So I called her dickless... yeah I got in trouble for that too.

Damn it!!  I was all dressed and ready for work.  Had some time to catch up here and sip a cup of coffee before starting my "commute"(first one in over 20 years). Now I have to CHANGE EVERYTHING! 

Haha.  Good one, onan.  I'm sure she deserved it....

[sydtron]

You know what annoys me? Those multi level marketing people who push the "THRIVE" patch!! Fuck them and fuck "THRIVING"!!   Same goes for the jewelry fucks and the candle fuckers.  All the women seem to flock to these things. Overpriced crap that "you can't get anywhere else"..  "Oh well this candle smells like Martha Stewart's vagina.."  Go fuck yourselves. Nobody makes any real money. They just sell to their close circle of friends who sell other crap.  All the while the assholes that put the whole thing together are laughing all the way to the bank.  Hmmmm.... Wait. On second thought.... Who wants in on the ground floor of my new amazing product?!?!  Organic beaver pelts with a built in razor?  You can fuck and shave yer balls at the same time. 

[UnscreenedCaller]

The word "agency" which is now being used and misused all over the intertoobs by first year colleges students, fresh out of their "<fill in the blank> Studies" class so that even the most innocuous remark becomes politically charged and a bevy of self-righteous wet behind the ears undergrads descend like a horde of locusts to accuse the poster of denying someone their agency while trailing the usual accusations of sexism, ageism, ableism, misogyny, etc etc etc.

Don't get me wrong - there's plenty of sexism, ageism, misogyny and so on in this world, too much in fact,  but I'm referring to the humorless clones who bring these accusations to conversations about trivial things in such tortured logic that any and all reference to someone's age, sex, sexual orientation, physical condition is met with a dogpile of sanctimonious ranting.

And yeah, I'm sure the women in Afghanistan who had acid thrown in their faces for opening schools had the use of 'you guys' uppermost on their minds.

I must also be a feminist as I can't stand it's use. Today I went with my close friend of over thirty years to look for and buy (for my kitchen) a new floor covering. We went into a multi furnishings shop that also sells carpets, wood floors, vinyl flooring etc...I was leafing through the display sample books with my friend and a salesman appeared from nowhere "Hi, can I help you guys?"...I felt the hairs on my neck bristle, Tina (my friend) chuckled because she knows my feelings on such things, and she knew how I'd react. "We're just looking", she replied: "And she's a lady, not a guy" fixing him a gaze..."Erm, we're having quite a bit of rain aren't we?"

[zeebo]

man / woman - ok
male / female - ok
gentleman / lady - ok
guy / gal ... oops, "gal" has fallen out of favor, and there seems to be no appropriate replacement, therefore the singular "guy" should be banished as well as it's unfair there is no casual equivalent for females.  Luckily this will also clear up the whole plural "guys" issue as well as that will be banished by extension.  See, easy.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I prefer 'youse guys', but to each his own.

Please read this. Then try to tell me "you guys" is anything resembling a social issue.

Not liking 'guys' doesn't equate to supporting primitive savages who rape women. It just doesn't.
