Shit that annoys you

[PB]

It's not really annoying me, it more pisses me off on the very rare occasions I think about it, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. wtf. How shitty can a thing be? Shit is not as shitty as the RNRHOF. Look at this fucking list: https://futurerocklegends.com/The_Snub_List/

That is some fucked-up shit, that list.

Yabbut ...... fuck Mariah Carey.

If they'd stop inducting shitty hip hop performers they'd have more slots for, you know, rock n roll acts.

There it is.

[riser4]

Why does Ozzy need a separate induction? Black Sabbath got in long enough ago that Ozzy probably doesn't remember whether or not it was for the group as a whole or for him alone. Let it go. He might not even remember his name.

[mcski]

FYI the hall is a marketing joke so who really cares. Besides Ozzy w Randy Rhoades was > Sabbeth.

But from the list the one that should be a first ballot HOF inductee imo would be:

DEVO

How the fuck are they not in? There’s a couple of others on that list I could say that about but come on, are we not men?!

[mcphee]

Grammy’s + sales = HOF induction

[BmillsSkier]

How have the B-52s never even been nominated?

Seems weird.

Actually, there’s some funny shit up and down that list.

I think it’s hilarious that Jethro Tull has never been nominated in 30 tries (no clue what “years snubbed” means).

I also think it’s hilarious to think about the Wu showing up to accept their induction even if they got nominated.

What a funny institution.

[Supermoon]

Look is it the hall of fame, or the hall of pretty good?

The R&R HOF is just a sad, feeble attempt to have something important in Cleveland.

The Cleveland Browns would like to join the discussion.

I mean - that was Cleveland's OG attempt. But we all can easily see how that turned out.

[skaredshtles]

Oh - and shit that annoys me: local trail system has a double track access "road" that the parks department uses a few times a year, so it's a pretty well established double track.

Will people just use the two tracks? No. They will not. They will walk in the middle, as well as on either side of the fuckin' tracks, turning the double track into FIVE fuckin' tracks.

And even more irritating, on the singletrack they've burned in a *second* trail now that is denuded of vegetation.

I know - this is normal stuff, but it's still annoying as shit.

It's a slow burn, kinda like Free Bird, November Rain, or Stairway to Heaven, we just haven't hit the drop yet where it really starts to bang.

*morons who wandered into the woods*

Yeah, that's my town in spades. There's a fantastic dedicated trail system for any/all groups - even horses. Yet the number of bushwhacked illegal trails, and the fact that most of them are through (well marked) ecologically sensitive areas drives me insane. Even worse, most don't actually go anywhere other than creating shortcuts.

Furthering my rant - this particular section of trail is peanut butter when it's wet, so that accounts for the poor snowflakes not wanting to get their shoes dirty and walking anywhere but *on* the actual trail, but even the intrepid folks who stay on the trail end up basically postholing the mud which then dries into a goddam rough mess for weeks.

It's really quite something.

I’ll admit, I’m a n00b. But damn I hate putting in and taking out contacts. I just don’t have the feel yet, the fuckers always just stick to my finger.

[The AD]

I think it’s hilarious that Jethro Tull has never been nominated in 30 tries (no clue what “years snubbed” means).

It means they were eligible, but were not nominated.

Most of the acts on that list can be described as "alternative" or "indie" so I sort of get it even if I don't agree with it. Bands like Jethro Tull, Badfinger, or Sweet are a few that are seemingly more conventional but have been totally snubbed.

[Ted Striker]

IMO the R&R HOF suffers from two fatal flaws. The first is that they need to market themselves. That alone changes the premise of the whole thing from "who deserves this?" to "who will generate a buzz, fill the seats, sell the merch..." etc.

The second is the ridiculous number they start with, and whittling down process resulting in numerous "better luck next time"s -- unlike the Grammys for instance, where they're only awarding for a single year's accomplishment. Foo Fighters beat Weezer in '22. If Weezer write another big hit, they could beat the FF's in '24.

But the HOF will nominate a person/band that's essentially retired, then pass in favor of someone else, with the idea that the first act is still in the running even though they won't produce any more work.

"We really like you. It's just we'll like you more in the future"

Jethro Tull is awesome

You get used to it, then you have to do it outside of the perfectly controlled environment of your bathroom and all bets are off.
Having contacts and dealing with them during extended climbing trips in the desert annoyed the shit out of me, and did a number to my eyeballs. Turns out rock dust from drilling for bolts is just about the most abrasive substance around and LOVES to get into your eyes. Contacts be feeling like sandpaper in the morning, such a treat.

But, being half blind annoys me more.

[Mustonen]

Wait til you flip one out while skiing because you don’t blink enough because the skiing is good. Then you catch it and put it in your mouth to keep it wet and slap it back in on the chairlift.

^^*done that more than once.

[Jax]

That's talent. I can't put mine in without a mirror which is definitely annoying. I only use them for skiing, can only wear them for so long before my eyes get sore. And no more safety checks while skiing because speed + dry eye with contacts = can't see shit. Drops do nothing.

The weighted toric lenses I use are so soft and also stick to my finger. I've found if I make sure the tip of my finger is completely dry when placing the contact on it, it releases the a little better.

[riser4]

I wish I could wear contacts. I tried and my doctor and I both agreed that I should never ever try that again. Unless the technology improves by like a million times to something nobody has dreamed up yet. My eyeballs are hideously misshapen and really small. It's really hard to get them in, they don't naturally sit in the right spot, and they are almost impossible to get back out.

Around here it doesn't need to be doubletrack to get turned into 5-track. Whenever rocks start poking out of the tread people ride around them. More rocks start to poke out, so people go even wider. A year or two goes by and the trail is now 10 feet wide. Not exaggerating here. People have 150-170mm suspension travel and these little rocks poking out are too much for them. Everyone wants more singletrack, but..... this is what we always get left with.
