Author Topic: Things that make you ANGRY! Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-24-2003 08:18 PM                        What pisses you off? Here's my list: -Politics -Religion -Anyone who disagrees with me for any reason -Stupidity. When people fail to use logic, I go nuts. -Hypocrisy. Like when a company will recommend one product by name, even though they say they don't recommend any product including yours. -Hot girls who do not like me. -When my enemies have a good day. This should not be permitted. -Midgets who think they should get more than half the normal wage. Why should they? They're only half of a person! More soon, I'm sure.  |  IP: Logged Betsie Beadling Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Fairfax, Virginia, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-24-2003 08:39 PM                     Things that make me Angry Are -Having to Empty and take out Trash Twice a week -when my Computer Kaputs and everything in the System gets erased and i have to Rebookmark all my Favorite Sites all over again - annoying E-Mail no one wants come on Now Im Female and dont need these stupid P Enlargement Pills or Devices nor do i wand a Lousey Ink Jet Cartrege Filler for 99 cents  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-24-2003 08:47 PM                  Stupid People Hypocrisy Spam People who are intolerant of other people' cultures The Dutch >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-24-2003 09:20 PM                       Not being able to find a stinkin' JOB!  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-24-2003 09:53 PM                        *Traffic jams where there's no one broken down or an accident, it's just a bunch of people who feel the need to stop *When there's only one line open at the store and the guy in front of you has three carts full of instant pudding *The stubborn Amish refusal to partake in the wonders of the zipper *The fact that people actively care about morons like Ashton Kutcher *Weird spam. I've resigned myself to getting Viagra and porn solicitations, but now I'm getting ones trying to sell me Russian timeshares and sculptures! Come on people! *Jar-Jar Binks *People who confuse digital sound and DLP *People who stand in front of the showtimes at the box office and ask me for showtimes *People who have to look around the "sold out" sign to ask for tickets to a sold out show *People who complain that I'm NOT honoring the showtimes from their two-week old newspaper *In general, films that come out in August, September, and October *Vienna Sausages *Those pickles that they sell in their own gross little bags at Blockbuster *Theaters that sell coffee (no offense, I just don't feel coffee belongs in a theater) *Guys in Ford Festivas who put sarcastic stickers on them *Changing the animal litter *People who tell me that Vin Diesel is a great actor *The fact that most bank clocks display the temp in Celsius as well as Fairenheit. Who exactly needs the temp in Celsius over here in the states? *"Storm Stories" on the Weather Channel. Yeah, it rained a lot once. Just give me the damn weather forecast. *The phrase "Academy Award Winner" tacked in front of Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie in this summer's ads. Does anybody in the target demographics for either "X2" or "Tomb Raider" care about that? *I can get a copy of "Monkeybone" on DVD, but "Schindler's List" isn't available *Reality TV *ABC Family *Triangular nacho chips. I am a firm proponet of circular chips. *People who don't understand that other chain's passes won't work at my theater. Do they try to pay their taxes in rubles? *People who see a donkey and don't say something like "Hey, that's a nice ass!" I mean, come on, have a little personality. *The fact that birthdays are belated. If you're late for work or in sending in the rent check, you are late, not belated. *Cellular phones ringing in theaters *Companies that try to get their first listing in the yellow pages by sticking multiple As in front of their name. Who really feels confident in calling "AAAAAA-1 Dentistry Services"? That's all I can think of right now, but that's not nearly the beginning of my rage...  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 07-24-2003 11:29 PM                     Doing the same thing over and over again.

Lazy people in this business. Arrogant people who think they know all there is to know about this business after being on the job for a short period of time. Two week wonders in the staff.

Spammers in general. Telemarketers in general. Stores that push maintenance or service agreements on practically everything they sell, instead of just the higher priced things. A drone in CompUSA here in Huntsville yesterday tried to sell me a service agreement ON A $14.99 BOX OF 50 CD JEWEL CASES! Does it get any more ridiculous? She began by saying "I'm going to do you a favor on these." and began describing the service agreement and saying it was just a dollar more or something. I told her "You've got to be kidding." but she kept on going, describing why it was such a good idea. I've probably broken less than 20 CD cases in the last 17 years. Coworkers that come in every few minutes to ask if you've finished something they need from you, especially when you're having a rather frustrating time getting it done. Stores that carry good selections of brands and packaging varieties, but don't carry the specific brand and package combination you need or want. People that have no sense of time that are always late. Flaky behaviour -- people saying they'll meet you for lunch, and you know that means "there is a 30 percent chance I won't back out on you". Guy friends who get girlfriends and drop away, to never be available again to hang out. People that gossip and spread all kinds of things around that they shouldn't. The inherent hate of gay people that many people have. The phenomenon of people disliking me before they even know me. Overly-judgemental people. People who are rude with their usage of their cell phone -- especially those who constantly take and make calls in the company of their friends. Some calls like this are appropriate, especially if the information from the call is of interest to some people in the group, or if the purpose of the call is to "grow the group" by inviting people to something. Most of the time, though, this isn't the case and it's a nuisance. Something that dies after 16 years of faithful service that can't be replaced without paying more than I paid for it new. (My HP-41CX calculator). Hard drives that go bad, causing you to have to reinstall and reconfigure your system to your liking.  |  IP: Logged
