    Exclamation What annoyed you today?

    Very simple topic. What annoyed you today? A thread in which to vent violations of pet peeves and other.

    Me:
    This guy who went out of his way to press the crosswalk button repeatedly despite the mass of people waiting on it. Why do that? We're already standing there and no doubt someone had already pressed the button! And pressing it over and over and over again will NOT make the light change faster!

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    We began football (proper football) practice today after school finished which lasts until 18:00. It was really a tryout, but I'm a 4 year varsity player so I have to put up with a bunch of idiots who can't pass the ball correctly. I also have to continue to do sprint after sprint because they can't make the times fast enough. Now THAT makes me mad....and very tired

    I clicked the "quick reply" button to quickly reply to this thread using the tools at the bottom of the page but, for whatever reason, I was transferred to the loooong reply thing. It happens whenever I use the "edit" button on my posts, too. Ragh!

    I was having a pretty good day today. I had to give a presentation in one of my classes, so on a whim I dressed in a Hawaiian suit (Hawaiian shirt, suitjacket, suit pants, and sandals) and did fine. After my classes were done for the day I relaxed by, suit still on, putting on sunglasses, laying around, sipping lemonade, and listening to Jimmy Buffett while writing a paper. Life was good.

    I moved around a bit, and when my Jimmy Buffett repetoire finished I switched to various other music, including "Echoes" by Pink Floyd, the full-length version. So about halfway through Echoes, people start complaining about the music and they tune it out by blasting non-Floyd music with more powerful speakers (edit for clarification: these were people out of their rooms and I was messing around with). Cue end of a good day.

    So I find out that my floor doesn't appreciate good music and I can't play Echoes in all its loud glory anymore unless I'm the only one around or wearing headphones. A catastrophie of the highest order if there ever was one.

    The only thing that annoyed me today was the fact that I still have to complete 10 page comic about the Westward Expansion of United States...

    "Pee race" however, evokes 2 kids running a 100 yard dash with their boyhoods hanging out, spraying hither and yon furiously, as they race to the finish line. Hilarious!

    I was at the liquor store, they had all these gift sets with a bottle of whiskey and some glasses packed together. Annoying thing was I could only convince my self to buy one, and the bottle I wanted didn't have glasses. Came with a cigar case/flask combo that'll come in handy if I ever start smoking cigars I guess. Now I have to fight with myself not to go back and get the wild turkey gift pack.

    I always think I'm not a sucker for marketing until I go into the liquor store

    Groups of people who spread themselves across the whole sideweek and walk very slowly... or even worse the people who just completely stop in the middle of the street, i often feel like punching these people in the back of the head
