Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
When you walk into a public bathroom and smell poo, you are literally inhaling tiny particles of **** up your nose and into your lungs. I think.

What type of a world do we live in that one needs to suffer the auditory nightmare of moist runny snot being propelled into a kleenex while enjoying a meal?
It's ****ed.

Yeah, you're probably right. But I mean we're probably technically inhaling all sorts of gross **** every day if you break it down to a small enough level. I also know that when I go out to eat the kitchen staff probably doesn't always have the greatest hygiene a lot of the time. I can live in ignorant bliss when it comes to those things. But it's hard to ignore the sound of a stream of gelled waste being emptied into a piece of material a fraction of a millimeter thick. I can't ignorantly ignore that, that **** just happened!

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
Watching US cop shows where they powertrip 24/7 and be smartasses to arrested guys & generally the allowance of such a shows. They arrest a high school principle for some small BS, then tell him don't worry it won't show up as felony and noone has to know at your school AND THEN SHOW IT ON TV. Or a cop calling someone loser in TV because he got arrested 5+ times for drug using. Who the f*ck is he to voice his opinion like that? If arrested guy calls him fat f*ck who he is he gets beat up/in the lunatic chair/extra charges or something.

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
When I'm talking to someone and they start talking about something they told me about last week. Don't even realise they've already told it to me. Particularly rubs me up as I have a very specific memory for such things and can recall most conversations relatively easily.

You are pissed that losers who agree to have their arrests shown on TV are not shown in the best light? That pisses me off.

I always find it retarded when someone starts breathing from their mouth when they smell a fart or someone ****ting in a public bathroom. Congrats, how does that taste?

They must agree with that or otherwise they will not show? If so, my bad... Although cops are still huge douches.

I agree he is a loser, but a cop should remain 100% professional and keep his opinion to himself.

Is there a reasonable reason why our society has not progressed to touch-screen ordering system by now?
The other day this was basically a conversation I had:
"I'd like a chicken caesar salad."
"KSSSSSSSHHHHHHH WOMP WOMP WOMP DAT?"
"I'm sorry?"
"GrillfryKsssshhhhhhhhhh..."
"I'm sorry?"
"Grill fry or Kshhhhhhhhh"
"Grilled chicken please."
"What kina dressing? KHSSSSHHHHH"
"Caesar"
"What kind KSHSHHHHH"
"Caesar dressing. Chicken Caesar salad."
"KHHHHHSHSSSSSSSSS"
"........"
"So that's a caesar salad with apple somkshhhhhhhhh?"
"No. A chicken caesar salad, please."
"OK. That's what it says on the screen sir." (WTF? FUUUUU)
"Yes, that's correct."
"Sorry about that please drive through"
"Please drink anti-freeze later and die."
Having this conversation every god damn time you try to get fast food defeats the god damn purpose of FAST FOOD, which is to clog your arteries in a timely manner, no questions asked. Touch screens please for the love of Indian cows.
I mean, this probably should piss me off but it pissed me off to an unhealthy extent.

Lol, that should piss you off.

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
I agree that ordering food at a drive-thru shouldn't be so damn difficult. But the touch screen solution is even worse. Imagine a steady line of snot-fingered, greasy, gnarled-knuckled inbreds smashing their disgusting fingers on that touch screen. Then imagine having to touch it after them. Then eat your food. Uck. Also, there's no way that screen would get cleaned more than once a month.

I can't think of others right now but so many times I've flipped through and seen some movie and the Spanish title wasn't close. I think they called Goodfellas Los Mafiosos or some ****.
YOU CANT JUST CHANGE THE NAME OF THE MOVIE GOD DAMMIT. MY GIRL HAS A SONG IN IT CALLED MY GIRL NOT ****ING MI PRIMER BESO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAGE
The song does not go "Talkin' bout...MI PRIMER BESO... MI PRIMER BESO!!!!!!!!"

That's why it won't be touch screen, but I don't think we're far off from talking to a computer system that takes our order instead of a none-too-bright human. Within five years for sure.

Re: Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
All it takes is one FF company to implement it, then the rest will follow. As they do with everything else. I remember when McDonald's invented the combo meal. Revolutionary. Then some other company offered salads, now they all do. All companies finally have breakfast options it seems. Someone has a commercial for ciabatta bread!? HELL WE NEED CIABATTA BREAD, TOO! EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T KNOW WTF IT IS OR THAT IT CRACKS YOUR TEETH WHEN YOU BITE IT! Etc.

Here in Sweden one of the fast food chains have started implementing Express Order systems. You punch your order into a touch-screen computer , pay with your card and go up to the cashier to get your food.
Last time I used this I swear the girl behind the counter was preparing my order even before I had finished it. No wait at all basically. Also yay for not having to interact with other human beings!
It would ruin the athmosphere at "fine dining" places but at a fast food restaurant everything else already sucks so no loss.
To contribute something on the thread topic:
People that refuse to use debit card/credit card to pay at say the supermarket. People that refuse to adopt the self-checkout system etc. Shouldn't bother me since my shopping experience is better the fewer that converts.
