When someone gets a phone call and no one is on the other end for whatever reason, and they say that unnecessary angry "hello" at the end.

(ring ring)
"Hello?"
(no answer)
"Hello?"
(no answer)
"HELLOOO!!!!

These posts remind me of Carlin's "people who drive faster/slower than you" joke. Though these are far less defensible obv.

people that drive with their ****ing animals

it's always some goddamn woman from 18-99 who has their stupid small dog on their lap and it just angers me. it doesn't help they always suck at driving to begin with.

"hey if I get into an accident my dog just running around will be totally fine and not smash into the windshield breaking my neck or other passengers in the car's neck"

guys who have their dogs in the bed of their truck is bothersome but whatever - they aren't on their ****ing lap or gonna break my neck

He's not buying anything, but he will patiently answer their asinine questions despite having no interest in what they're selling, and as long as they keep talking he can't hang up. His standards of phone etiquette with telemarketers are no different from his standards with anyone else. Or maybe he's just slow to pick up on the fact that he's getting a sales pitch, I'm not sure.

PM his number and I'll call and fail to respond until he lets out three hellos, then I'll give him some BS sales pitch and see how long I can keep him on. Then I'll be like "EvilSteve says hi" "Who?" "EvilSteve" "Who?" "Your son" click.

I can't be the only one who got like 3 phone calls a day from "VA MORT" for about a year, right? They finally stopped calling. Never picked up the phone once and still got about a thousand calls from them in a year. I hope everyone who works for them gets their dick cut off and they die in a ****ing fire.

Googled that number and saw people all over the internet complaining about it. Some said if you pick up and tell them to **** off you will get 10 calls a day instead of 3 so I never picked up. AFAICT it is some "mortgage" company that tries to convince old dumb people to do a reverse mortgage. God I hope they all died, and I mean that.

When a radio station plays a song but bleeps out a swear. Especially "god damn" or "damn."

If you're going to play the ****ing song, have some balls and play the whole goddamned thing! Editing out the word just doesn't magically make me forget the ****inf lyric, you !%*#€£~*£!!!!.

Tilts me to no end.

Thirteenth floor is a designation of a level of a multi-level building that is often omitted in countries where the number 13 is considered unlucky. Omitting the 13th floor may take a variety of forms; the most common include denoting what would otherwise be considered the thirteenth floor as level 14, giving the thirteenth floor an alternate designation such as "12A" or "M" (the thirteenth letter of the Latin alphabet), or closing the 13th floor to public occupancy or access (e.g., by designating it as a mechanical floor).

The floor immediately above the 12th floor, which you mistakenly identified with a number I won't mention. It is called the 14th floor.

You should have a talk with the building manager and get that changed. The number you keep mentioning is not necessary in this context. And you should not mention it again here.
