Things That Annoy You

[GravitySucks]

In the family run (not my family) business where I work, none of them can commit to making the most basic, mindless decisions.  I have been working there for a year and I don't think I have ever received a simple yes, no, or OK for an answer yet.

Arrrrrrgh

OK I am better.

This annoyance is evolving into a sort of game... Love the NCIS show and want to love the spinoffs, LA has won me over, but New Orleans has evolved into a puzzle game. Which regular, each week, will be an actual actor and how many of the one-timers will be better than the regulars. Cannot fathom the advertising raves it has received....

Stop stickering my peaches you filthy savages.

I swear my favorite place for apples pastes those damn things on with super glue.  Will the first world problems ever end?

I used to work with a guy who was a master at not making decisions.  He would always find some way to obscure the issue or put it off into the future or bounce the ball back to me.  I eventually just stopped calling him and found clandestine ways to bypass him entirely.

And if you're gonna put on those stickers, add an expiration date.  I can't eat anything w/o an expiration date.

I'm with you on NCIS and NCIS LA.  I gave New Orleans a chance, but the characters aren't interesting or likable and the story lines aren't that good.  Oh well.

If you do, you know you will explode.  Especially if they're acorns.

1) Apps and websites that try to do too much. Example: I don't want video, don't even want pictures, just an app that gives sports scores in an easy-to-read, rational method. Doesn't need to have graphics etc.
2) How websites have been "dumbed down" to comply with Google or to be "tablet friendly." This results in less content, less written content or analysis, and more "bling" but also harder to find things if one is using a computer or laptop. They also all end up being organized in the same looking format it seems. This includes newspapers' websites in which there are fewer articles but more video and crap.

Flash graphics in general, unnecessary animated gifs, Comic Sans, and that goofy way they put all the Google applications on that tiled square instead of just having a list - that thing drives me out of my tree.

expiration dates are voluntary, put on by the seller with no government oversight... "this is still good" written on a product is just as good...

People (back in the real world) who just don't know when to shut the fuck up.

[Barfly]

Overpriced hookers that are ugly, very annoying.

That little gnat who is less interested in my plate of food than trying to fly up my nose.

when you buy a 4TB drive, and the delivery service leaves it out in the rain all day, until i get home.

Or when you buy a 4TB drive and really it's like 3.6TB because those jokers are using 1000's as opposed to 1024's.

    Creepy dancing codgers trying to sell me on getting a motherfuckin' flu shot.

ShayP, i hate that guy, he must be eliminated!

It worries me when otherwise sensible people talk about those like they're a good thing.

NCIS New Orleans S2-E3, about 15 minutes in, an unnecessary NETWORK event. A character walks into the room and says "If you're a woman, you fucked your way to the top". To me, this is a last ditch attempt by a dying, poorly acted companion series for publicity... Had to repeat the scene a few time because I could not believe it.... Adios NCIS New Orleans... you are now on life support...

    Co-worker got one, told us all about it...and within 3 weeks, she had the flu.

     Within 2 weeks of her getting the flu, the rest of our workroom floor had it(at least 15 people)

[Barfly]

Woman with pubic hair, very annoying, this isn't the 70's girls, get with it .
I would still bone ya though.

I'll never take a vaccine for flue when it is shown to cause the flu in some cases. Also the flu vaccine is made to treat last years flu. So nature is always at l least one version ahead of the vaccine. Money wasted. And that's why they constantly try to sell flu shots. Easy money.

      CVS is offering them, not only for pharmacy customers, but for all customers. Buying a can of Pringles, hey get a flu shot, too! No thanks a million times over.

      After that co-worker wiped us out because of her flu shot, I'm steadfast against it and if anybody I know gets one, they sure as hell better not tell me.

Got a flu shot sometime back around 2003 or so, got VERY sick, never again.
It may work for some, but fuk it, not for me.

Just to take the counter-position on the flu shot thing.  I used to get horrible flus that would knock me out for two weeks at a time.  I'd have such high fevers I'd get almost delerious after a few days.  Sometimes I'd lose like 5-10 pounds during these ordeals. (that's alot for a squirrel)

About ten years ago I said "F" it and tried the shot.  Not only did I not get the flu that year, I haven't gotten it for the last ten years.  I've had a few near misses but they're glancing blows rather than the full frontal assaults I used to get.  Still have all kinds of other health probs but at least that's one misery I've been spared for some time.

That's today's installment of "The Flu and You".

You sing it and I'll buy it.  I bet you've got a deep, semi-bass voice...like Hogie Carmichael, right?
