Drug ads that tout the drug in question and then list 20 symptoms to watch out for, up to and including death. Often prescribed for fairly minor problems.

Auto-correct/edit in word or whatever when I does something I don't want.

does

Ooooh, this drives me crazy.

Non-responsive websites/sites built with fixed pixels and ****ing tables as opposed to percents and ems/vBulletin.

Drug ads that don't tell you anything about the drug and just show you old people smiling and walking around in the park and ****

people who wait until the gate to my apartment is all the way open to go through the gate even though they could easily fit before it is all the way open keeping me from entering my apartment complex a solid 2-3 seconds later than necessary.

****ing ****, people who misuse "DEFCON n" piss me off beyond belief. DEFCON 5 is like a nice ****ing sunny day. DEFCON 1 is imminent nuclear war. higher numbers are good. lower numbers are bad. THIS **** IS NOT HARD. READ A BOOK FFS. STOP ****ING IT UP.

or watch War Games.

or play Twilight Struggle

This Citi commercial with Alicia Keys.

All marketing portmanteaus that they try to force down our throats. Latest is McDonald's "BCO" (bacon, cheddar, onion I think) burger in which the three ingredients are "Threemendous". Various people walk down a street and see things in triplicate and say out loud "Threemendous!" DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE you unoriginal marketing scumbags.

Another thing that pisses me off that shouldn't is when you complain about commercials then somebody invariably posts "I guess it's working because you are talking about them HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" So, yeah, in before that happens.

loosekanen, are you talking about Cutlahhhh's presser?

I have a friend who says "deathcon five."

I want kill him.

If you do it'll be deathcon one.

Next time he says "what?" say "What are you, death?"

Stupid alphabets that were invented by western linguists for preliterate cultures, instead of using a pre-existing one.

ill add to this if I can explain it without mspaint. imagine you are approaching the apartment complex and gate and you either punch in the code or hit the button on the fob that signals the gate to open. meanwhile, as you approach, an exiting car which is more than 20 yards away from the other side of the gate (which only opens if the car is within a few feet of the gate) sees the gate open ahead of them and thinks "omg the gate is magically opening for me even though I did nothing to trigger this and there is no possibility that there is someone coming my way who actually opened the gate AND HAS THE GOD DAMN RIGHT OF WAY." proceeding to speed up and go through the gate almost killing me.

I have almost been hit head on numerous times this way abd have given the finger to too many neighbors.

^ lol @ u

That should absolutely piss you off though

When people around here say "We're going down to NY". I live in Maryland.

If they live in an elevated area, then NY is "down" from Maryland brah.

I posted this same one in this thread though long ago because everybody in Houston seems to say "I'm going down to Dallas this weekend". Dallas is both north of here and elevated. RAGE.

shaft, do you live in ******oville? I've seen entrants drive through the still-open exit gate after the person left but never seen those exiting through the open entry side. That's just absurd and those people all must be mouthbreathers.

The elevation argument only really applies for places that are very close by. Even if NY is below Maryland, you shouldn't say you're heading down to NY.

Not that I don't agree with you on a practical basis, but the elevation argument makes more sense than the "North faces up!" argument, since that is arbitrarily defined.

In any case, there is no reason to say "down" when heading up in elevation AND North.

Elevation argument only makes sense if you live in ****ing Denver
