    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!

    "Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"
    -Abraham Lincoln


    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 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...

    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

    I get that all the time mate.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    That the things that annoyed me today are 100 times more annoying that the things that annoyed you guys today. That's really annoying that is.

    I second LittleGrizzly's statement. And also really bad, stooopid, and sllooooow drives. And buses in other lanes and not the slow lane Oh and people... on most occasions.
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Christmas adverts.

    Specifically the first few bars of this one.

    Every single advert break, on every channel, with no prospect of any reprieve between now and January.

    Bah! Humbug!

    Well, first of all, my math professor decided that we should have two midterms AND a final for his course.

    Naturally, the second midterm, which is going to be on Friday, is just one week before the Final, next Friday.

    Of course, he has also decided to give us homework this week even though we're all studying for the 2nd midterm and final.

    Even worse, this homework naturally will not be on the topics that will be tested on the 2nd midterm even though we're handing it in right after the 2nd midterm and not near the final.....

    I buy a first-class ticket because I want to be able to sit. If you buy a second-class ticket it means that sometimes you must stand. It does not give you the right to sit in the first class if there aren't enough seats, gambled, lost.

    My maths is a litle hazy of late. But surely a 'mid'-term comes once, at the half-way point? Or is this merely another example of my language being corrupted?
