Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 1350 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Doubt that qualifies as SHOULDN'T piss you off. I remember taking one bite of my sandwich, getting up to take a piss, and it all being gone when I returned. Oops, so sorry, we thought you were done, here's the check. What kind of moron does it take to think someone would leave and not eat 95% of the food on the plate, and before the bill was paid? I was just a kid then, and paid it like a fool. In my current state of cantankerousness, I'd said gfy, call the manager, call the cops, I'll wait for them.

People who go to the bathroom after taking one bite of their food.

Yeah, my rule is that whenever I go the restroom for any reason in a similar situation, I leave my glasses on the table, and otherwise make sure nobody even thinks that I am done. The one bite and done before a restroom break, suggests that he should have flagged down a server first to let them know he wasn't done. They cannot have food laying around with nobody sitting there. The odds of someone taking one bite and leaving are probably higher than someone taking one bite and going to the restroom. The restaurant cannot have people thinking that the food is so bad that someone took one bite and left.

Is it the relatively poorer posting of the right leaners that causes this or is it the the left leaning posters being narrow-minded and un-accepting of others who aren't the same as them? I would assume definitly the later, but probably a bit of the former since 2+2 has done a great job of running off many of right leaners in the political forums.

Don't over think it. It's the first one.

When you try to throw away a trash can by leaving it at the curb, and the garbage collectors leave it there.

I gotta ask you one question:

Do you think that.............you could make it............. with Frankenstein?

Er no, sorry, I meant of the two who do you think is more justified in not accepting the other's views - a liberal or a neo-fascist?

I think sometimes people are more sensitive to insults against their own tribe than even acknowledge insults made against the 'enemy' tribe.

And there is a golf commentator, Notah Begay, who has something on his nose (above it) that could likely be removed for a small sum. Even if the price was a few thousand, all of these things could be removed. I don't get it. I guess it is hard to see how you appear to others.

Put it this way, if any of these people didn't have these things on their faces, how much would they charge for someone to put these ugly things on their faces? They wouldn't do it for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and probably not millions, yet they won't spend a few hundred on removing what they have.

Drew Brees would be the poster boy for these folks--if they weren't all too hideous to have a poster made.

Silly you. Take a bit more effort and walk to the local park and leave the trash can there. You will have done a good community service deed and recycled a trash can. For added benefit, spray paint some graffiti on the can. Use blue paint, everyone likes the color blue.

That some celebrity deaths happened just a little before the phenomenon of people acting like drama queens all over the internet posting tributes re how much their lives were touched by them and what a huge hole is left. Specifically, I feel like Patrick Swayze got ripped off by timing.

Good one Johnny. Actually celebrity deaths overall. They shouldn't be a major news item and with minor celebrities they shouldn't be news. I shouldn't have to google someone reported dead to see who they were to find out they're some reality tv star.

When people say 1800 number. It's an 800 number. Lose the ****ing one

Why should he? I find it zero disturbing. And why endure physical pain and risks that are in every manipulation of moles only to.... for what? To satisfy the physical beauty standards of the part of the population?
