When I search on Google for something on twoplustwo using site:forumserver.twoplustwo.com [content], then it shows up, and I click the link, and it takes me to some random page where the content is nowhere to be seen.

Joggers (who probably call themselves 'runners') who get all dressed up then go at the same speed that they would have reached at a slightly brisk walk.

Meanwhile, behind you the left lane is packed with cars bumper-to-bumper at least 30 deep. There are plenty of open spaces in the right lane for Mr. Clueless to move into where he would only need to slow down slightly, but he refuses to do so, and none are large enough that you could go around Mr. Clueless and get back in the left lane; if you move over to try you will be trapped. Mr. Clueless is usually driving a hybrid or a 20 year-old car. This should piss me off, and it does.

But, when you finally have room to go around on the right, once you move back into the left lane Mr. Clueless will either speed up and match your speed, or finally realize that he's the cork in a great big bottle-neck and move over. This pisses me off even more but it shouldn't. Why do I care? I'm already around the *******. What he does now doesn't make any difference to me.
Yes, someone delaying your trip by a few seconds should piss you off.

People that don't understand how my matching neon flaming lemon yellow spandex shorts and tank top (showing my hairy back) with color coordinated $200 Nikes make me a runner, no matter my pace.

On a related note, people who go to the trouble of putting on workout clothes and schlepping to the gym, only to do utterly useless workouts day after day. I go early in the morning, and I always see the same 50-something-year-old women that do their 2MPH treadmill walking (holding the handrails, of course) and then their 17 billion swiss ball crunches, without a drop of sweat forming on their body or any change in their shape or size.

There's absolutely no reason for this to piss me off. I know they're helping keep my membership costs down by joining, and they never get in my way, but they could get this complete lack of results at home.

I'm not sure if this qualfies because it does annoy me, but rightfully it should annoy me. I hate this child-centred society attitude. Why should I have to wait until late at night to watch the programmes I want to watch just because some little kids might be offended by it, their parents could just change the channel, don't deny me of my rights just because the world is full of bad parents, punish them not me. There is no reason why day time TV should be dominated by old people's programmes like auction and stupid countryside programmes, Children's programmes and cooking programmes. What if I like going to bed early? Why don't I get a say in what I want to watch at what time I want to watch it?

You guys are missing Didace's point.

He should be pissed that Mr. Clueless slowed him down and forced him to fight to get in front of him, and he acknowledges that in his post.

The part that qualifies it for this thread is him being pissed off that, after he fights to get ahead of Clueless, Clueless changes his ways and is no longer an obstacle for those following Didace. The cars behind him will never know the agony of being trapped behind Clueless, nor the ecstasy of successfully battling this assclown and winning. Everyone behind him gets a free pass to openhighwayville. And that's what pisses him off.

Thread title clearly indicates that your point doesn't qualify if this is true.

I don't think I should be pissed off when people complain about rights they don't have because its generally harmless and based in ignorance and not malicious - but it does piss me off anyway.

Some of it is due more to economics than child protection measures. It costs a lot less to run the auction shows than it does to run the expensive good shows and movies. Advertisers won't pay as much for daytime exposure as they will for prime time offerings. If you want to watch good stuff during the day, add a DVR to your cable/satellite bill. Record the good stuff at night, watch it the next day. Delete and start over.

But it is annoying to turn on the television, have hundreds of channels, and find nothing on that hasn't been rerun 50 times in the past month.

Eating at a hibachi restaurant with my mother-in-law and having to sit through the ubiquitous patronizing conversation:

MIL: "Hi! What's your name (while peering in at the nametag)?"
Japanese dude cooking our food: "John"
MIL: "Jin?"
John: "John"
MIL: "Jung?"
John: "John"
MIL: "Yun?"
John: "John"
MIL: "Ohhh, John. I thought you were saying Jin or something else."

Later...

MIL: "I need you to come to my house and cook for ME!"
John: "Heh."
MIL: "Do you cook a lot at home?"
John: "No."
MIL: "If I had a cooktop like this at home I would cook all the time! I need to get one of these in my house!"
John: "Heh."

Later...
MIL: "How long have you been here, John?"
John: "Since six thirty."
MIL: "Oh I mean in the States."
John: "Oh I was born here."
MIL: "Oh." (silence) "Well it was nice to meet you John, this food is delicious!"
John: "Thank you."

Basically all old white women are terrible and totally self-unaware. It's like my MIL crosses paths with a brown person about thrice a year so she has to get her fill of worldly conversation that is actually just totally pandering and borderline racist. Quite cringeworthy.

I don't think this should piss me off b/c I'm not Asian and it's not like the cook spits in our food but it definitely pisses me off because it's just such god damn stupid conversation. Totally self-serving garbage at the expense of a poor guy trying to do his job. I've exaggerated a bit on the conversation but you get the idea.

Another one: People who can't order from a menu. What I mean is they order something that isn't on the menu and just try to "see if they can make that for me". There are 400 ****ING ITEMS on the menu. Pick one. You aren't special. This is a restaurant where a plate costs $9, not a 4 star restaurant with a famous chef who can whip up anything.

As someone who works in a restaurant, this pisses me off. I usually just tell people we don't have some ingredient to make it. It's the same god damn people who want this particular item THAT HASN'T BEEN ON THE MENU IN OVER 3 YEARS. Seriously, get a grip. You're just trying to be special and you suck.

Can someone who works in a restaurant give me their perspective on why when I order something with "no onions please," it's going to come out with onions on it approximately 50% of the time?

Sometimes waiters be forgetting to enter "no onions", more often cooks be in a hurry and not give a ****.

i imagine after making the same dish so many times most chefs are on autopilot and just forget special requests

Either the server forgot to put it into the computer, or the kitchen doesn't read the ticket. I just have to say here that everyone who doesn't tip at least like 15% is a douchebag and should never eat out again
