I’m with you on this. Unfortunately I missed some missing parts in a toilet repair kit - many bad words were said and I ended up reusing some old parts. It worked, but it still pissed me off mightily.
They are doing construction on the road outside the office building where I work. Part of that construction involves building a roundabout at our cross street. They have one side of the road finished and have started on the other side, so now both lanes of traffic are using one half of the roundabout.
What infuriates me is that they have “No Left Turn” signs set up to keep people from making left turns into or out of the side street, and every day I see at least half a dozen cars making illegal left turns – and that’s just in the short time I’m out taking a break and walking laps around our parking lot. I don’t know if they’re clueless and don’t see the signs, or just decide to ignore them, but either way it just drives me nuts.
Hello sunacres, I work with a crew of guys who pick up trash full-time. Yesterday we had abated some litter. We turned around and saw someone get out and start throwing trash right behind us. Thank God for our having humor about it!
That’s terrible. It would take no more effort for them to throw the trash in front of you so you don’t have to turn around to pick it up.
It always irritates me to hear a stadium crowd start to clap and cheer before the national anthem is over. Just listen silently, damn it!
It doesn’t infuriate me (more like annoyance) and it’s usually trivial, but people who walk or cycle all the way to their left on a sidewalk or bike path (in US).
I have almost taken out people with my bike who were all the way on their left on hairpin turns on densely wooded paths where you can’t see what’s on the path after the turn until you get there.
Being stuck in a queue at a coffeeshop behind a small committee ordering their office team’s round of frothafrappalattemochachinosanddoesXwantsprinkles when all I want is a plain black coffee NOW - or at least this side of lunch.
OK, that’s funny.
I was in line at the little bagel place in town, waiting to order my bagel/cream cheese/coffee, and the person in front of me started to place custom orders for her four kids and herself. I was thinking “but, of course she would…”. It actually didn’t take that long, but I was ready to be irritated.
I get furious with casual lawbreakers like that.
For example, there is an offramp near my house where you clearly are supposed to only turn one way, but you can drive at a slant, go around the end of a curb, and go on the other road–that’s a poor description, but it’s sufficient. People use the cut-across method regularly, and I never see police there ticketing them.
Similarly, in our state it is illegal to have tint on any of the front windows (i.e. windshield, and driver/passenger windows), but about a quarter of the cars on the road are little sedans with loud music and blacked out windows.
It shouldn’t bother me what some other guy does, but the fact that they flaunt a law that would surely cause me to get a ticket is infuriating.
I live on the front end of a narrow, 2-block-long one way street (that’s how long it is, there is no actual break in the block). Some people who live near me think it’s too much trouble (hint: it isn’t) to drive a block and a half’s distance to the cross street on the far end. So they drive the wrong way to the nearer cross street. Drives me nuts. They’re in a car, for fuck’s sake, what are they going to do with the nanoseconds that they are saving this way? Blink once?
It still gripes me when people use “literally” incorrectly. I don’t care if the dictionary amended it to also mean “really.” Those people think it makes them sound smarter and it doesn’t.
When I was a little kid we lived on a one way street. Maybe once a day someone would drive the wrong way on the street. When that happened, everyone that was outside would yell, “ONE WAY!!”.
Is that behavior universal?
Is it possible that some people might go cheeseless to ensure that they get a freshly cooked product?
When I buy fish and chips (not that often these days), I usually ask for plaice on the grounds that they will have to cook it fresh for me and not give me that elderly lump of cod that has been lurking in the warming shelf since lunchtime.
When I see people making the illegal left turns I described above, I will often yell out “No left turn dumbshit!” I’m sure they can’t hear me, but I feel better. 
I could have written that post, seconded word for word.
I admit I do a lot of these so y’all would kill me after a while…
But yeah I was watching the Waltons with my recently passed away uncle a while back on Freevee. They’d pop up in the middle of a conversation blare as loudly as they can and then go back like nothing happened. Still, the strange thing is it was usually 45 seconds before where a normal commercial would be inserted … its even worse on that channel cause most of the commercials are Amazon propaganda …
I lived on the top of a cul de sac…the city gave mom a few concrete-filled traffic sticks on wheels so people wouldn’t jump our curb or turn in our driveway … one incident was where morons who were racing almost took out the tree in the front yard because they didn’t know it wasn’t a through street … and another time the neighbors picket fence because idiots thought they could do a u-turn in the driveway
traffic sticks are like cones except they are straight and hollow and on a base … they fill them with concrete so people won’t knock then down when they go by
This doesn’t happen anymore since I live remote. But that did used to piss me off. Park in front of your own house. I might be having company or something else going on.
The commercial insertions at the wrong spot aren’t limited to streaming. The subchannels (MeTV, Charge, H&I, WeTV) all do it. But I think they do it that way to hide the edits. They must cut at least five minutes out of a hour program, and so making you mad at the commercials in the wrong spot makes you not notice the missed content.
As bad as that it, the thing that really fits the OP, is networks that take out “bad words” from shows that aired on the Big Three. These shows went through standards and practices, every word was safe for kids watching on prime time, so why do they feel they have to mute words like “whore”, “chubby” etc? And to compound the situations, the broadcasters of law and Order will generally remove racial slurs, fine, (even if they were on NBC twenty years ago) BUT I have heard them leave in the N-word if the episode deals with racial issues, but not if it is a “normal” episode.
Why are we going backwards into a more puritanical environment?
Because Culture Wars. We have people trying to ban Judy Blume books because they’re “pornographic”. These were books that probably half the kids in school read back in the 80s.
