Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 1294 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

That was an interesting read, thanks. I had never heard of this woman before, but I can confirm that, at least on this topic (flying) she really is full of ****.

I love the part about the air being pumped into the cabin could be over 50% nitrogen (the horror!). Did she ever pay attention in high school science class? The atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen. And having better air towards the front of the plane because "the pilots control it"? Yeah, we control it by turning it off or on.

How do people like this have a following and make so much money?

People are delusional and like to read what they want to believe.

It's probably right next to the switch to make the contrails which give the government mind control over the populace or whatever the **** those people natter on about.

We can buy it here. It's a lot less expensive than microwave popcorn, not that either are exorbitant or anything. Actually I might have had microwave popcorn that a friend made. Don't remember it being any better.

Signs in construction areas that say "pardon our progress."

Yes. You've hit the nail on the head. It is the progress that we find inconvenient and ugly, not the mess.

Pedestrians who cross the road walking slowly, when there are cars waiting to turn. It's the pedestrians turn, but when I cross the road if I know cars are waiting for me I'm gonna pick up my pace for 3 seconds. Cars turning right at an intersection into a busy street sometimes have a very tough time, because they never get the right of way.

Adam Carolla's joke, "how can the world's fastest people, be the slowest to cross a street".

Tx & JT: good entries.

Garick & Carnivore: good ideas, but that **** should piss you off imo. Except if a pedestrian is handicapped or 80-years old or whatever and can't move any faster.

Waking up at 5 am and not knowing if it's 4 am, 5 am, or 6 am because of daylight savings time.

Base 12 would be so much better.

+11 (which I believe is 13 in base 12).

12 is evenly divisible more ways. Having half of our base number be a prime is just silly. IMO we just have base ten because of how many fingers we have, not because of any logical decision that it is more useful.

Idiotic T-shirts piss me off even though it's someone else who's making themselves look as stupid as possible. This one caught my eye today at the casino and my question is 'How hard are you trying to make yourself look like an ass-hat?'

The superiority of base 12 at least pokes a finger in the face of the idea of intelligent design.

Why would anyone argue for base 12, when hexadecimal is clearly superior?

It means we have odd chips way more often in chopped and quartered pots.
