The "Things that annoy me" thread

Taking a nice, long, hot shower and then realizing I forgot to turn on the ventilation/dehumidifier thingy.

I did that yesterday.

I had to replace the cold water source line to the water heater...and guess who forgot to open the pressure release...and subsequently got a shower...and so did the wall...and the floor...and the washing machine.
 
Spiegel Online

What used to be a respectable and rather trustworthy online news source has essentially become a click farm. They introduced forums, i.e. you can "discuss" some of their articles, and shortly after that they started publishing more and more BS op-eds and "articles" whose sole purpose is generating controversy in those forums... you can almost hear their editors scream HERE COME THE PAGE VIEWS!

This is the latest example.


BTW, yes, I realise the irony of linking to them twice in a post on their click farming.

I agree, that their forums are a pain. A reservoir for idiots, faultfinders, know-it-alls, fundamentalists, weirdos and miserable people, who are unhappy with their lives.
 
I actually agree with that article and both mac haters and lovers among my facebook friends have posted this article. :mrgreen: Certainly der Spiegel is becoming worse to some extent, but I hope they never reach the level of their TV show.
 
You don't say...


:rofl: :lmao:
Just the first line of
Tied up again recently a deputy approached advanced age, a leather case moved out of the size of one soldier and whispered conspiratorially-issue. "I've got one now".
was rather beautiful imo. It sounds like it is the beginning of an odd porn or something.

Sounds a lot like another website I know *cough* cough* IGN
 
Tech ignorant (make that just ignorant full stop) relatives calling me up because the (just as ignorant) guy they are trying to reach doesn't answer his cellphone right away......(probably because he forgot wich button to push)

'You know about these things, isen't there a way to reach him?'
'Yeah....I will just call my friends at Nasa to redirect a satellite to pick up his phone for him using a tractorbeam and wireless electricity'
'Would you please, I realy need a ride'
*sigh*

How the fuck are these people still alive?

This

I got a guy in my electrical class who's been going to the school for 2 years now and he still hasn't figured out to LOG IN to the school's student account thingy. Every night he enters in the information he thinks he used and gets locked out. And he won't listen to the people he asks for help....

People who don't maintain a safe distance behind me. Every morning on my way to work I get tailgated for pretty much the whole 15 or so miles, then I watch them having to swerve off the road when I stop because they can't stop in time. It's always people in vehicles smaller than mine, anyone else with cars the same size or bigger have a brain and maintain the correct distance. Unless it's some blonde on the cell phone while wearing those bigass sunglasses on an overcast morning.

Also, the way I use the phone.

For some reason everything I had planned to say on the phone get's erased. So when the person picks up All I say every two to three words is "uh, um, or eh". So the person on the other end gets confused. I have used phones since I was 8, what's wrong with me! And I can't explain things with the correct terminology. It's like I'm losing my ability to speak...

Broken down elevators - the one in my apartment house broke the fourth time (at least, I don't know how many times I didn't notice it because I was away) in four weeks, I have to do the laundry, the washing mashine is in the basement and I live on the sixth floor (seventh if you take the american convention)...
 
People who say that they know me, and nod along knowledgeably to what I'm saying, then when I've finished talking make a comment that (a)makes it obvious they have absolutely no idea what I'm on about, (b)don't want to know what I'm on about, (c) weren't actually listening anyway, and (d)don't care that they fulfill (a), (b) and (c). This hurts me beyond belief. :cry:

At least it is not comic sans? (or papyrus. GRRR PAPYRUS)
 
Apparently I have a 'severe case' of Pharyngitis. My throat does hurt like hell and I'm coughing all the time.
So now, after seeing the doctor, I have to take an antibiotics pill 4 times a day, for ten days. And he specifically told me that it will probably stop hurting after a couple of days but if you don't keep on using the tablets then it will come back.
So, for the next 10 days I have to be constantly looking at my watch, stressing out over when I last had a pill and how long until I have to have one again.
Works out to be one every six hours. 40 tablets, 2 down, 38 to go.

So you like football then?
 
The unattractive, chavy, loud bint who is outside with her mates yelling at the top of voice.

Shut the fuck up, its 9:30 in the evening. Why are you drunk so early? Why the fuck are you drunk on a Thursday night anyway? You are the fattest, most unattractive, loudest and most vulgar of all of your associates, they are all shuffling away from you looking embarrassed and people are staring at you as they walk down the street.

Please go home and re-evaluate your life. Preferably quietly so I don't have to tolerate your existence.

In conclusion I dislike living 500 yards from a pub. <_<
 
People who take shit off my bench. I made all these reagents and have gathered all the disposable stuff that I need for the day, then people take them from my bench instead of the stock room across the hall, and I have to re-stock my own goddamn bench again. Then they look at me funny when I tell them to get their own shit.
