Shit that annoys you

[LightRanger]

The music that plays when you try to look at the web cam on squawalpine.com

+the fact that it's now squawalpine.com
(I was looking at those cams today too.)

women who leave their dresser drawers open all the time

Only women do this?

People who babble on and on, on their cell phone at an airport bar (or any bar), especially when there's a good game on.

The girl next to me, so far, has raved about:

- parrots

- living at home, and thereby saving money

- enjoying riding a bike from target ("there was nobody telling me what bike I should ride")

- free personal training sessions

- protein powder ("I didn't know it wasn't just for bodybuilders... I don't want to be a bodybuilder")

- acupuncture

- growing her hair longer

Ugh. There are fine places in the airport to have these conversations, but this isn't one of them.

Still sounds more interesting than any professional sports game ever.

Adobe Creative Cloud.

Oh, you have CC? Here, let us reinstall EVERY SINGLE FUCKING APP a second time for CC2014. I thought this was supposed to make things easier. I have spent more time installing, uninstalling and troubleshooting problems online and over the phone in the last three weeks than my entire career using Adobe products daily. This is such a stinking POS way of doing it. I like some of the more constant feature updates, but in a production environment, I can't have these updates break things that have worked since day one... like today I just can't render in After Effects. epic.

"Hands-free" faucets and soap dispensers that don't sense your hands and require you to wave them around to get water/soap going.

I hear you but we have a weird problem in our office. The faucets are like you describe, but the soap dispensers have a hair trigger. You end up pumping a dozen squirts down the side of the sink while washing your hands. Nothing you can do to stop it. Leaving a nice jizzy trail of soap down the side of every sink. Pisses me right the fuck off.

Speaking of pissing... our urinals are so designed that there is NO WAY to angle the piss stream to where it doesn't splatter back. I have to stand a foot away when I wear flipflops. Fascilities actually mops the floors twice during the working day because it's such a problem. One would think management of the building would find replacing them cheaper than paying a crew of people to go floor by floor just mopping up piss all day.

My office has same urinal design flaw. Combined with a "see every pee splatter" black tile floor.... terrific combination.

. Combined with a "see every pee splatter"...

I can hear Julia Andrews singing that for some reason.
"Climb every mountain
See every pee splatter
Follow every rainbow
'Til you find it doesn't matter...."

these situations might explain why the people with flipflops still have smelly feet.

That guy should have done a little more research...

There's no word for this in English, so here the Germans have the clear linguistic advantage...I want hereby to start an official campaign to bring Ohrwurm into English. Shouldn't be too difficult. Just start telling your friends ", that new Danii Minogue single is such an earworm." When they ask you what an earworm is, tell them, and urge them to start using it in their normal conversation.

- written in 2005

From Wikipedia:

The word earworm is a calque from the German Ohrwurm[5] and was, according to Oliver Sacks, first used in the 1980s.

But yeah, earworms could probably fall into the category of shit that annoys you, too...

You're just saying that cause you lost the 'pedicures for a week' office bet to Captain Awesome.

When people who have nothing to do with a sports team other than being a fan use the pronoun "we" when talking about the team... "we played like shit" no. You sat on your couch and drank beer.

What if it's your college, or you own stock in the Packers?

Maybe if you are actually attending the college at the time, or own a significant percentage of the team it would be ok...

Yelling "You are number 1!" at a ball game might get confusing.

I have one share. Is that enough?

[mtngirl79]

No.

[booner]

Alma Mater licence plate frames....

I noticed that they were everywhere in Seattle...almost no one has them in NY

I though all the pretentious DBs were on the EC...very confusing

[creaky fossil]

window decal, plate frame, and tail-light lens covers with Your Team's Logo, these things prove you're able to say We when Your Team does something, because being a "supporter" is meaningful to the blokes playing the game. that dude from Palimpsest, Iowa who plays nose tackle for Your Team, he worries constantly about whether the "supporters" will be behind him 115% come next game.

So if you're a pretentious douche for having some sort of collegiate emblem on your car, does having brand stickers make you a waste of life worthy of extermination? It sure should.

"Hang on, I already paid you for a product, now I'm going to help you advertise." What?!

Players really appreciate it if you combine all that myteam auto-paraphernalia with a set of the stick figure family stickers... inculcating the little ones proves it 's really your team

I like to think of the ever-expanding opportunities such decals bring, for example, if you support the Towhee Falls HS golf team, the stick figures' sticks could be golf clubs, golfers literally made from golf clubs, so deep, so meaningful, it's a Mark Rothko painting. take it further: the Calumny River HS hockey team decal could have stick-figures made from hockey sticks. it gets a little messy with lacrosse, works okay for fencing though.
