Canadian/British pronunciation (but I assume you already knew that)

people that know nothing about how nutrition works - today at work someone had a powerade zero (zero calories), and this girl said, "why do you drink that? sure it has no calories, but it's full of sugar..."

usually these people eat crispy chicken caesar salad while telling everyone else how bad the carbs are in their rice

Today at work in the kitchen :
Coworker 1 : "how was your weekend?"
Coworker 2 : "Not long enough"

In the olden days, when you were introduced to someone, you say, "Hello, how do you do?" The correct response is "how do you do?" You weren't even supposed to pretend to answer the question, it's just something to say.

I believe the "how are you" is just an informalization of that practice. Though now, you usually just say, "I'm doing great" or "could be better" or some other one short response.

gotta love the angry beavers.

one of the more awkward moments in my life involved going to england and getting the "how do you do?" line and starting to answer but then realizing i'm not actually supposed to answer and mumbling for a bit and then just awkwardly blurting out "uhh.... how are you?" WHY MUST ENGLISH PEOPLE SAY DIFFERENT THINGS?

"Sitting."

When I click on a youtube video of a song that says "with lyrics" and I'm reading the lyrics on the screen and they are obviously wrong. Like they'll blatantly add a word or remove a word that obviously is or isn't there. Or just get **** wrong.

"I need to **** you like an animal. I gotta feel you from the inside." etc. Drives me nuts and really affects my life in no way whatsoever. Just bothers me to know people think they are an authority figure on lyrics and yet get them so obviously wrong.

Wow that was incredible! LOL @ "can you see Dems?"

When the comments section of an article has the latest comment at the top and the first comment at the bottom. Probably justified in being pissed off a little but it puts me on monkey tilt.

i assume someone's already said it before but the wayyy overuse of the word "epic" these days.

and dumb people who say they "just aren't good test-takers"

When people getting on the elevator don't let everyone getting off get off before trying to get on.

Wrong thread

Definitely doesn't belong here, but I want to vent.

Went to grocery store. I have 7 items. I go to the 15 items or less lane because I'm in a hurry and I ordered some take out, should be done soon.

3 people in front of me, I chose this line because it was the shortest. 15 minutes go by and we haven't moved... why?

Some lady is with her 2 friends. They pooled their collective items to be over 50 items. She has the cashier break them into 15 items so it didn't look like she was getting them all. She then proceeds to pay for all 3 transactions.

I almost rage moded.
What's up with people nowadays?

Well I guess this thread has gone full blown "things that piss you off and should". I hate that "oh I'm a bad test taker" as well. It's never a smart person saying it.

As far as grocery store checkout, something I have run into a couple times that seems to burn me up is I see a line that has just one woman in it, and she appears to be in checkout phase. As I get closer and start unloading my stuff I realize she is paying with some type of food stamps or some kind of complicated check system.

That's not the annoying part in it itself, but it seems that she rings in a certain amount of items money wise, pays with this voucher or whatever. Then starts a separate transaction with more items that were on the belt. Pays for those with another voucher type thing. Rinse and repeat about 4 times, each time taking much longer than it should. Finally the last batch of groceries gets put through and she pulls out a $100 bill to cover those. I can't help but feel I'm somehow witnessing a scam that costs me money and I fill with rage.

Anyone have any idea what I'm saying?

Not at all. It does piss me off when I see people buying cigarettes and alcohol with those welfare debit cards.

Making tea in the office, pisses me off when people leave a little bit in, just drink it all. Now i have to go outside and chuck it out, if you just drink the whole drink i can go make a fresh cup.

In the UK alot of the supermarkets now have self checkout tills, two types.

One for baskets and one for trollies, but why the **** do people take a trolley with 5000 items into the basket checkouts. You block the ****ing isle, it takes ages and there's only a few of them as there designed for people with bits and bobs, not a month of shopping.

**** off to the checkout with conveyor belts

And the stores that let people buy cigarettes and alcohol with these cards.


This past weekend I read the book Fifty Shades of Grey. (Yes I deserve to be ridiculed for wasting those 5 or 6 hours on such an accomplishment but I did.) It was so hyped I wanted to see what I was missing. Early on in the book the author wrote about the main female character driving to interview the main male character. This female character has borrowed her roommate's Mercedes CLK and while out on the highway the author said she, "hit the pedal to the metal." "Put the pedal to the metal!" I don't care if you are English, you wrote about American characters in an American setting so get the idioms correct!

This was the least of her transgressions but it was early and tweaked me so much I couldn't buy into the rest of the poorly written story.

Why? The sooner they die of alcoholism or lung cancer = less welfare $$$

It pisses me off when I'm watching wheel of fortune and some hackbag who knows absolutely nothing has zero dollars until pat sajak crushes the $5000 wedge on the last puzzle, monkey guesses s and bam $18k rolls in.

Inevitably they win with 24k and luckbox the final puzzle picking A when it's a phrase with a single letter word in it THAT HAS TO BE AN A.

So much tilt...

You're going to be paying for their lung cancer treatment as well.

It pisses me off when people don't understand how currency works. They'll hear about a rich person buying a million dollar car and say something like "that money could have been spent on cancer research!"

The money doesn't disappear - it goes to a bunch of people who had their hand in making the car. Then trickles down to other people, and so on. Some of these people along the way may even donate some of that money to cancer research!

It's like they think money disappears once it's spent at the consumer level.

I understand that this use of money may not be optimally efficient for society (we may rather sooner divert money to research than to a car), but this isn't really the point they are making. The point they are making is that the money is gone forever, and they are wrong.
