Oh man

"Amazon Cyber Monday deals week"

9 books this week and counting.

Is there a thread for Things That You Are Perfectly Justified Being Pissed Off About?

I've got one for that thread.

BBV4L : ITT I'm upset

The Ira Glass way every reporter on This American Life talks.

People who bus their trays at fast food restaurants but don't toss out the paper place mat. Sends me into a rage every time I dump out my tray and the top tray on the stack still has it's paper place mat. Would love to hear these crazy people's reasoning for why they don't throw it away.

They did an episode on it. I never noticed it until they brought it up. I had to stop listening after that. It is across a lot of public radio now. Tilting.

Hahaha

People who eat fast food inside the building, as if it's some kind of actual restaurant.

Microwave machines that keep beeping to remind you that your food is done. I KNOW IT I'M LETTING IT COOL OFF SKYNET!!!!

People that overheat their food in the microwave.

Using the communal microwave at work and always having to clear the 14 seconds the person didn't use up on the previous meal.

Microwave machine? If I heard someone say that in real life it would for sure piss me off.

I recently bought a new microwave machine. Had to take my auto-traveling machine to pick it up.

My great grandmother use to warn us to be careful crossing the street so as not to get hit by a machine.

Alimony. Seems crazy, like being court order to pay child support for a kid that's not yours and is 30yo

If you don't understand why it exists, I'm not surprised you got divorced.

Alternative answer:

Hey CP,

In some cases it might be unfair for sure. Sometimes it is not crazy though. My wife and I, as an example, made a joint decision--though it was hers to have the final say--that she would give up her career and work life and stay home to raise our kids while I continue to earn. My career has continued to advance while hers has withered, however I benefit in many ways from work she does at home beyond my kids getting to be raised by her. We save $ for daycare. The home making work she does saves us money on eating out and frankly I am more effective at work because of work that she takes on that we would split if we were both on a job.

If we got divorced at this point or in the future, my earning potential, which has flourished under our arrangement will remain healthy. She, however, will have had hers stunted in a way that is likely irreparable, if not would take years to catch up.

So that it why it isn't crazy in every case.

You're interfering with tx being a complete douche

A logical douche nonetheless

On topic, fat people.

people eating burgers upside down

The person, or the burger, is upside down?

People that sit in a long drive-thru line waisting their gas, instead of parking, and going inside to eat.

People that park, go inside to order and don't immediately leave after getting there food.
