Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 1200 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Just saw some lady start unloading her groceries into the trunk of her car, but instead of wheeling the cart over by the trunk, she parks it in front of her car and starts walking back and forth from the cart to put them in. Found it mildly amusing, but started to get pissed the longer it went on.

were you watching her through binoculars or something?

How could he have watched this woman load groceries for so long that he was able to go from amused to angered over time? Sitting there watching someone unload an entire cart of groceries is pretty weird isn't it? Maybe i just don't have as much free time...

I'm not sure what "wiener friends" are, but it sounds slightly pornographic.

When they have to walk around from the back of the vehicle to the front multiple times? I dunno, at least several seconds? Far too long for a normal person to just watch.

Full disclosure, I was parked a couple spots over browsing oot waiting for my gf to return from inside the store. I'm guessing maybe 90-120 seconds for the whole thing.

Pisses me off when I ask someone a question and they wobble their head side to side with an ever so slight up and down motion every ****ing time, whether the are answering yes, no, or even open ended questions. Its like a subtle head shake as if implying the negative, but thats never what it actually means. I've really only ever noticed one specific group of people doing this, but don't want to make this a racial thing so I'll leave that alone. (If you've experienced this you'll know exactly what Im talking about.)

Example: At my 5 year old's parent teacher conference...

Me: So does cs3 Jr. finish his math work on time?
Teacher: *shakes head slightly back and forth* " he usually finishes very quickly"

Me: Is cs3 Jr. supposed to have homework every night?
Teacher: *shakes head slightly back and forth* "sometimes homework is every night"

Me: What things can cs3 Jr. improve on?
Teacher: *shakes head slightly back and forth* "well there are a few things that he can work on...."

is that a yes or a no WHAT THE ****!

Wat?

Apparently no concern for how it comes across describing a cultural misunderstanding that he could begin to clear up with a quick Google search. https://www.tripsavvy.com/meaning-of...-shake-1539322

Perhaps these should piss me off.

Lol, few days ago they mentioned a really absurd stat in the WS game and I thought of this thread.

I’ll probably watch the WS tonight and I’ll likely be overly sensitized to these.

Johnny, perhaps you can explain why someone shaking their head no, while answering yes, should not piss anyone off?

Is being completely vague and confusing when answering a question something that's totally normal and ok? I mean if it is, then I guess it does belong in this thread afterall!

well ****, rereading my earlier post and it does come across as racist. bad post.
to be clear, the group of people I was talking about was "teachers"
