Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 1147 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

When I worked from home I watched a good bit of 9 ball on ESPN. I don't have cable and don't work from home anymore,so I've settled now into watching Snooker on Youtube.

I watched a soccer game that didn't have any stoppage time at the end of the first half!?!?!

Stoppage time is something that pisses me off.

I watched a few minutes of the cornhole championship and those guys are so good it is almost boring. I love the idea (someone a few posts ago said) of ESPN showing a bunch of random sports/semi-sports and cutting out the majority of the NBA coverage. If anyone has a hook up at ESPN please forward them this list:

spikeball
bocce ball
curling
rugby
cricket
handball (from the Olympics)
short track speed skating
racquetball
that volleyball game where you can't use your arms
polo
men's slow pitch softball
lacrosse
roller derby

They could at least call it The Open Golf Championship - to make it a little easier to search for on the web or on a cable guide. I was getting all kinds of results.

FWIW, this has nothing to do with the marketing wants you to name it X bull**** that was spewed before and you walked into a trap by posting this. Its called the Open. The US Open is the US Open (You know, like the website they host their site at).

They're non-emotional objects. Stop trying to make them sound cute.

Pisses me off way more than it should that quietly spectating is mandatory in golf, and I have zero patience for any defense of it.

Please, feel free to explain how absolute silence is required to golf while tens of thousands of screaming drunkards doesn't prevent success at far more challenging athletic acts.

I should add that I love golfing and have played since my youth, but I've grown to hate all the stuffy, white, manners-y pretension that comes along with it.

Pisses me off that diamonds are more valuable than other colorful and objectively more attractive gems.

When people try and be polite to you while driving and at a stop sign. Specifically, when it's their turn to go, and they give you the wave to allow you to go first. I know they are trying to be polite, but it slows things down so much more for everyone involved, because you have to wait an extra couple seconds to make sure that's what they are doing, and then you proceed cautiously across in case they change their mind. I don't know why, but it really frustrates me.

i got a chuckle imagining a game where the ball is served then the receiving team runs into position but the ball just drops every time because they can't use their arms.

Solid. But perfectly rational IMO.
