Peeves & Serendipities Thread

I live in my own house and can smell the can smell the neighbor-across-the-alley’s dryer sheets. Now that’s pretty potent.

Boy, that sorta thing pisses me off.

Found it. She takes the hat off. (Must have dropped it on the ground–no big loss since she stole it anyway.)

It’s peeving me that even while Texas is begging the rest of the world for donations, it managed to find the money to perform yet another execution. And yes, those things are expensive. I guess poor Texas doesn’t was to lose its “Bloodthirstiest State” tiara.

NOT going to watch it. Her waif-singing pisses me off. The more I hear that style of singing, the more I hate it.

Some more googling showed me that she is Shannon Wise of The Shacks, and that is her cover of the song This Strange Effect (originally released by Dave Berry (not Dave Barry) in 1965.) Here is their music video for you to not watch.

I hate the 'Flo insurance commercials. Could not tell you the brand of insurance she hawking, I change the channel or skip it so fast, you wouldn’t believe. Some how I sense when they are next up. I am starting to get peeved about the ads for the Dental franchise who do implants, almost there!

Will I peeve someone if I say that she has a hell of a body?

I wonder if it’s the same stuff my inlaws use - my husband went to stay with them for a week when his dad had surgery, and when he got home, his clothes all reeked of dryer-sheet fragrance. Even after laundering his clothes and hanging them out in the sunshine, there’s still a lingering hint of the smell. *UGH!!!

I get peeved by idiots who spend time watching commercials, and then complain about them!

It’s 2017 folks. There is no reason to watch commercials at all. All TV remotes have a mute button. You can records shows & fast forward through the commercials. You can watch shows that do not have commercials.

If you’re too lazy to take any of these steps to avoid commercials, then shut up your complaining about them.

I get peeved by inconsiderate assholes who leave a disgusting mess of human waste all over the toilet in the handicapped stall. I have no choice, no other toilet to use so I am forced to clean up these messes.

I think Ambivalid’s is much greater than a peeve. You must the patience of a saint. That’s a psychotic hatred of mine, especially if there is shit on the walls of a stall. It angers and perplexes me.

On another note… The damned pumpkin invasion. Its October, let’s make everything Pumpkin Spice! GRRRRRR!!!

The same thing happens in the regular stalls, too. But at least we often have another stall we can move to.

I never thought there could be any such thing as dryer sheet malodorousness. Learn something new every day.

Sometimes not watching them just ain’t an option. We don’t have a DVR. Sometimes someone else is in charge of the remote. Besides, it’s 2017. There’s no reason to read posts you don’t like. Most devices have a scroll function. You can read what you want and scroll through the rest. If you’re too lazy to scroll and avoid posts you don’t like, then shut up your complaining about them.

How about those potato chip commercials where Mr. & Mrs. Potatohead is eating potato chips??

Shhhh! The pumpkins are the only thing holding back the Yule Tide.

I am peeved that I am apparently OVER THE HILL now. I was washing my car and perhaps drying it a little too vigorously and I did something to my back such that I can’t seem to walk like a normal human today.

I was peeved at hipsters before it was cool to be.

I hate it when you get a commercial that you like and then it gets cropped and cropped to half its former length and they always leave out the good lines.

Speaking of commercials…

I don’t watch TV much, so I can’t understand why dumb, annoying people actually sell consumer goods. I know this isn’t new, but in only two hours of watching Tomorrowland on USA Network while drinking beer and eating pizza at our favorite pizza joint, I’ve discovered that if you want to sell candy bars, you should appeal to people’s ability to make lame excuses for royally fucking up.

Case in point: “Sorry. I was eating a Milky Way.” That’s their new slogan. A celebration of apathetic incompetence. >:(

See, also: “Snickers: You’re careless when you’re hungry.” Yeah, but this is not carelessness. It’s textbook civil negligence. Careless is forgetting your wallet at a restaurant or putting your keys in the fridge. It’s not even funny!

I cannot understand how these campaigns appeal to consumers. It makes me want slap people…repeatedly. I get it that marketing campaigns are supposed to catch your interest, but if marketing makes me associate the product with rage and/or annoyance, how is that supposed to make me want to buy it? I don’t get it.
