Things That Annoy You

Did you find that was funny?

I guess you had to be there.

Taxi was one of the very few sitcoms that was actually funny

It came to the UK, everyone in my circle of friends watched it. Very good show.

Here, DPS, this ought to cheer you up

Haha- thanks, UC- He was my favorite character on that show.

I blame you. This is how that conversation should have gone.

At this point you hand her the cash, grab the 3 items and go. She probably thought you were slow.

IB- like your avatar. It's not that complicated- is it? When you place a 'to go' order they usually have the components separated, except for something like pizza. They do this to measure the amount of each to fit the order and keep the pasta or rice separate to prevent them from getting soggy. Full orders are usually for  more than one serving- so each person can take the desired portion size. Easy peasy- unless you like to complicate things.

Since I wasn't there- I can't take sides but if I've offended anyone and we all need something comforting when on the Internet: “there, their, they’re, my friends.”

Thanks! I needed a change. Will go back to Audrey in the near future. I would have paid the girl and grabbed the extra bag. Presumably the toppings were for the pizza, but fuck it. I'd take the bag anyway. More for me.

You fucked MV? Did you at least get Turbo Status out of it?

The first time I saw that scene, I lost my breath I was laughing so hard.

Is that Melissa Tomei in your avatar?

It might be.

When a talk show that wants one guest to call in but does not and said that the show is having phone problems.  But the show was a lot of callers call in and I called in a few times that night. I think that person is not a very bright person.

Ditto.

Things that annoy me?

This abusive ugly asshole right here:

Oh, i thought it was very funny.  I just wanted to see if you would answer a yes or no question with a yes or a no.  And you didn't.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Apparently it is.  All of the pasta order was in that one bag, in two containers.  The second bag, the one i kept asking about, was sprouts and argula that is rolled up into the stripwise slices in this specialty pizza.  The reason i needed to know this at that moment was that i was dropping off the pasta and the eater of the pasta somewhere before heading home with the pizza.  The bags were all taped shut and i thought it would be easier to ask a simple fucking yes or no question than tear open the bags in the car in the dark, which is how we discovered what bag went where.

I should have included all this information into my original post so that would have been even longer and less interesting (if thats possible).  It was wrong of me to focus on the subject of the story like that.

You know what else annoys me?  Pedantic asshats that pick apart irrelevant parts of a post just to be annoying pests.

And you sure recovered from your head wound quickly. I am doubting that part of the story already.

I see that you can't answer yes or no questions either.  I had no idea that you are a chick.

[akwilly]

The inability of women to answer yes or no questions with a "yes" or "no."

Women, in general, avoid conflict when it isn't already present.  This finds expression in their avoidance of bold expressions, such as answering "yes" or "no" to a simple question.  Too challenging, you see.  Might hurt the other person's feeling to speak so directly.

So instead, they give you a 90 second long answer.  A good answer, informative, even useful.  But not an answer that contains a "yes" or a "no," or even helps to determine if the correct answer is "yes" or "no."

One example out of thousands: last night I went to pick up a specialty pizza, and a pasta meal.  There was a box of pizza, a bag marked "pasta", and another unmarked bag.  This conversation happened, more or less verbatim:

ME:  Does this bag go with the pasta?

CASHIER:  This bag is the pasta (points at the bag marked "PASTA" in large letters) and this bag (points at the unmarked bag) are vegetables.

ME:  But does the stuff in the bag go with the pasta?

CASHIER:  Those are the toppings, sir.

ME:  So the stuff in this bag goes with the pizza?

CASHIER:  This bag (cups it in two hands) is the vegetables.  This bag...(cups)...

ME:  ...Is the pasta.  What I want to know is, (picks up megaphone and shouts into cashier's ear) IS THIS BAG FOR THE PASTA?

CASHIER:  This bag is pasta, and this bag is vegetables.

ME:  Bang (commits suicide with large caliber handgun).

Ladies, can you do us menfolk a solid, and answer the fucking question first?  "Yes" or "No."  Then, if you feel like expounding on that answer, you can talk for as long as you want.  We'll just nod our heads and smile and think "Who fucking cares" just like we do when you tell us about that bitch at work who looked at you sideways and ruined your day.

how freaking lazy is that pizza joint? You gotta put the toppings on yourself?

I say they're not officially toppings if they're not actually on top of something.

Why don't you have an interior light in your car?

If you knew all of the pasta order was in one bag in two containers, why did you ask?  Were you just trolling the clerk? 

Why would anyone want sprouts on pizza?  Like bean sprouts, alfalfa sprout, Brussel sprouts?  WTF. Dude. You need to learn about pizza. No pizza for you for one year.

This sounds pretty much self inflicted to me.

[Gruntled]

Roswells, Art, your mind works in a most wonderfully strange manner.
Don't change.

[DigitalPigSnuggler]

Why don't you have an interior light in your car?

Because it would make it easier for hitchhikers to pick me out of a lineup. 

Also the bulb is burned out.  Please donate to my psypal account.

Here is the beginning of the end of my hobby flying RC planes.  All of the local governments are getting involved over privacy concerns.  We have been trying desperately to get drones separated from RC aircraft.  http://news.sky.com/story/1680304/police-probe-after-ba-plane-struck-by-drone
In the US we now have to get a registration number from the FAA.  This is in addition to a number from the Academy of Model Aircraft number for which I already pay $85 a year.  Of course the FAA won't accept the AMA registration.  Now local governments are getting involved too.  There is discussion of a per aircraft fee now.  All because some boobs want to fly in airport landing corridors.  I don't see how registration will stop this, it seems like a cash grab to me.

Hmmmm. I fly gliders and many 'conventional' r/c flyers here in the UK predicted the backlash of so called 'drone' sales to people who frankly don't know nor care about such things as rules and regs about flying in uncontrolled airspace. Our CAA is shitting themselves that when not if, we'll get a close airprox that will down an airliner. Well; they're now going to reach for the toilet paper...goodbye responsible flyers, your worries were ignored and the press will have a field day.

As I understand it in the US r/c aircraft are controlled by the FAA.  Until recently they did not have to do anything.  If someone bought a plane and tried to fly it in a irresponsible place all that would happen is they would crash the plane and there could be some collateral property or personal injury.  Now that the drones are idiot proof anyone can fly one.  And the idiots do seem to like to fly them in strange places.  I don't think the FAA wants to deal with this and is passing the enforcement of the new FAA registration to local authorities. 

There is also the secondary issue of privacy as many drones have cameras.  People don't want to worry if the drone in their backyard is being flown by an idiot or some perv trying to check out there kids.  This is the main thrust of the local governments attempts at legislation.

I just don't see how rocking more numbers to be placed on the planes will address either of these issues.  People aren't going to be able to read the numbers on drones flying over their yards and I doubt the numbers will be readable if strained through a propeller or jet engine of aircraft carrying people.  I agree it is a question of when something bad happens and this causes loss of life.

Getting into r/c and joining a flying club taught me lots. I wasn't aware for instance that all aeroplanes come under the jurisdiction of the CAA irrelevant of size. We're (in the UK) governed by the ANO (air navigation order-flying equivelant of traffic laws) and can be prosecuted for breaches. Ignorence is no excuse, and up until recently such breaches were rare because flyers know that flying sites are very hard to find and very easy to lose because some dipshit can screw it up for everyone else..enter drones and FPV and we have cowboys flying to excess altitudes and idiotic distances..everyone will pay for this airprox.
I don't think the CAA will knee jerk because they're assholes; I think press pressure will force their hand though.
