I gotta start this thread here as a clone of the one at Bonr. I have so many things I'm irrationally furious about.
You know what really drives me nuts. All these fucking catagories for rock and metal music. Oh you got your death metal and your powet metal and your metalcore and your goth-emo-powet-death-nu-thrash-buttfuck-metal. And then you're like "Well, what catagory does my favorite band fit into" and it's hard to choose because it fits into 50 fucking catagories!!!
How about this. Let's all fit all rock music into one fucking catagory. If it has at least one guitar, and one drum set, and at least one of the band members has a tattoo, it's a FUCKING ROCK BAND. And we'll leave it at that, and stop trying to catagorize all rock music into 50 billion fucking genres.
...I'm sure a few metalheads would be angry at this post... so fuck them!

We've noticed.
I'm told I get "irrationally furious" at people who flush our toilet with the lid open. Fecal sprayings are getting on my toothbrush! Fecal sprayings! Nobody believes about the fecal sprayings!
-
I also think the topic should be called "Unreasonable Wrath" as to avoid product confusion.
-
I want one called Poetic Justice as part of my twelve-step off of Bitter Irony. :blink:
-
I hate people who take really slow right turns. There's nobody coming! Turn already!
-
On a similar note, I'm usually filled with rage when I'm on a 2-lane road that has a turning lane at the intersection. Well it's not all the time that I'm filled with rage, but when I'm stopped at such an interesction and some jackass uses it not to turn, but so they can try and slide ahead of me when the light turns green, causing me to have to break as they swerve back into the main lane.
-
This is my job situation at the moment. Last job let me go after about 2 weeks because said owner had his own fucked up issues with not paying taxes and shit, and couldn't keep me. Then current job I was thinking I'd work at least 10 hours a week, but the guy barely has any work for me and some weeks I don't work at all. And of course Michigan's the worst state when it comes to jobs and the economy.
And I remember, a while ago, my mother saying that she'd be able to give me $100 a month for rent money. I never asked for it and she never gave me any, but almost half a year later, when I questioned if she'd do that for me considering my shitty ass job situation, she claimed she didn't even remember telling me that. After I never even asked for money for months. Maybe she just said that to get me to move out of the house, and then partied afterwards.
She also promised to pay half my cell phone bill but I haven't taken that offer either since I have cheap-o Virgin. But if I mentioned it she would probably forget about it as well.
But this is more rational fury than irrational.
-
Aren't you an adult? Your mom doesn't owe you anything. It seems like "irrational fury" to me.
-
That's true, but she did say she would give me some money.
Here's rational fury. I step away from the computer for a minute, and some bitch sits down and starts using it. Even though a browser window was open. To THIS site! Can't you tell that someone else is using the computer, you skank ho?
-
Your mother issues amuse me.
-
I got mad because tonight's "New" episode of Ghost Hunters is a re-run. damnit
-
Well they had the summer finally two weeks ago. I bet we get more new ones around Halloween.
-
Your mother issues amuse me.
You need counseling Doug, you should make an appointment with student health services.
-
I might, I almost broke a vending machine.
I put a dollar in a coke machine, and then decided I didn't want anything. So I pressed the money return button, and nothing happened. And I pressed it again and again and again. And it wouldn't give me my dollar back. Evil fucking coke, I'm sticking to Pepsi you bastards!
-
I hate humidity. Seriously, stop fucking with my hair. I'm moving to the desert, my hair looked good in Vegas.

I get irrationally furious at purse straps touching me. As in other people's purse straps. It just bugs me. Irrationally so.
-
Oh Jesus. I had my sig deleted from two boards because it was too big (I was using the sign below in both sigs). One board said they had a max sig size of 40px height, and the other one was a fucking incredible sig size of 25px height.
Fucking win and shit.
-
D, my lawyer will be sending you a C&D letter. He'll CC a copy to Beck for good measure. While Miksch was the originator of the meme (as he is many others), anything posted on my board short of pedoporn legally belongs to me. So you're infringing and stuff.
Besides, a thread not shorter than the original would be required for Doug's irrational rantings, let along the rest of you.
-

Why don't you just comply with the sig limits?
-
Because that would require logic and consideration.
-
Can't they transfer that with an infusion of some kind?
-
How many Vulcans would you want to sacrifice? They'll be drained dry trying to compensate!
-
Yes, but they can make more sperm!
-
I think 40px is just too damn small. That's all. My big beaver would be a squashed beaver.
-
Well use something else. Too bad. Some ppl don't want images cluttering things up. I can sympathize. Not complying at place where you are a guest is just rude and bitchy. Jeez.
-
Bah, this site has a max sig height of 80px, which I think is kinda tiny to begin with... but what's worse is their max sig image size is 40px. NOT 80px.
max sig height=80px
max pic height=40px
what happens if I cut an image in half and stack the two halfs on top of each other? Nothing changes! How about making both the max sig size and max sig image size the SAME.
World's filled with fucking idiots. Must be that bizzaro logic Bush uses is spreading.
-
They just don't want huge pictures around is all.
-
Yes, but 80px isn't huge. My sig right here's 100px which is a good size. I've seen 500px sigs that are just horrendous. And it doesn't make sense to have the max size of a sig be 80px (and how they measure that size I don't know), but the max size of a pic in that sig be 40px. No sense.
I changed the topic so Bonr Boy doesn't sue us. :P
Now I'm really annoyed right now. I was trying to let a DVD render for a friend which takes a couple hours, and I was sitting on a nearby computer at the lab, when the lab tech came up and asked me to let someone else use the Video Editing computer. God dammit, I was there first! First come first serve, fuckers. And since I was going to see this friend, who lives 20 miles away, today, I could have handed it to him. Now I have to waste gas for another trip, or wait. Worst thing is, the people using it have Kia white collar shirts on. Dude, stop using university computers for your fucking corporate project. Your company's rich, have them buy you the equipment you need, you dicks.
a member of Slayer said that you have to be constantly pissed off to write good metal. I should join a metal band then. I'd be making fucking millions in a couple years.
-
You're too whiny for metal. You should try joining Fall Out Boy. We all know how much you'd love whining on stage with eye-liner on.
Also, I'm not sure anyone in the metal community would take you seriously knowing that you're a Pomeranian enthusiast.
-
I'm pretty pissed right now. We have a shoe shine/repair dude who comes by for a few hours every Tuesday, and he can't find the pair of shoes I gave to him personally in a bag with my business card taped on it. Needed a heel tap - maybe 10 minutes of work, but he was so damn busy chatting up every girl who walked by without a ring and trying to line up getting little Pinky stinky that he didn't have time to pay any attention to business. :goddammit:
-
Kick him in the ass! omg there's NO WAY someone would lose my shoes. No WAY. I would kill someone

:lol:!
I think the kind of pissed off you need for metal is probably a tad different from "they booted me off the computer and now I have to buy extra gas".
And that shoe thing pisses me. I hate when ppl don't pay attention to shit and fuck things up as a result.
-
Tell me about it. The perfect pair of summer sandals; 1.5 inch heel so they were dressy enough for work and casual enough for afterward. Good quality animal-part-free, perfectly broken in so the skinny straps didn't hurt the top of my foot AND they were on sale when I bought them last year. :mad: I get pissed anew every time I think about it. And male personages, believe me, breaking in skinny-strap sandals is not a good time.
-

I hate humidity too, but not because of what it does to my hair.

I bought the perfect pair of heels in June but then my puppy chewed them up. $35 gone to waste. =(

Why do we only hurt the shoes we love? :'(
Major annoyance this time of year: hurricane hysteria. Resident hurricane "expert" Dr. Neil Frank on our CBS affiliate was so happy with not one but TWO storms to hype last night he was practically bouncing in front of the fucking map like Malfoy as a ferret. Erin gave us a lovely dark morning, spectacular lightning and some flooded streets; nothing any different from most of the the past eight weeks or so, but people actually stayed home from work today, thanks to the media predicting Armageddon Lite. ::)
-

Don't make my BONR angry. You wouldn't like it when its angry, even though it doesn't actually turn green.
Major annoyance this time of year: hurricane hysteria.
I know what you mean. I think it's funny how the prognosticators were pronouncing 2006 as the worst hurricane year on record, and it was a total pussycat. And this year's been very quiet.
However, I understand the desire on the part of broadcasters to scare everyone to death. Scaring everyone beats not scaring them and them getting killed because they didn't respect the weather coming their way. We had people get killed by tornadoes within a few days' time, and the local radio and TV stations caught lots of flack over it. So when I'm on the air, and there's any yellow on the in-studio radar, I call the program director to see if storm watchers will be called in. And if there's red and purple on there, get ready for a steady dose of forecasts and advisories to pump onto the airwaves. It beats being accused of contributing to the deaths of dummies who can't read conditions for themselves.
-
I also disdain wide gaps in public bathroom stalls.
-
You mean in between the doors where someone can stand there and peek at j00? I always get a long line of toilet paper, bunch up the end and cram it into the gaps like two long thin curtains.
-
Hmm I never thought of that...
It's brilliant in its simplicity, but I wonder if that would attract undue attention in the men's room.
-

I'd like a reasonable balance. What you say is true, but after too many reports that get people running around like headless chickens come to naught, folks gets less inclined to pay attention when there really is something to worry about. Neil Frank is a piece of work - when the Houston Press did the Hurricane Bingo card last year, they included a square that reads "Dr. Neil Frank sports notable erection discussing chances of Houston being hit". I got the "plastic water jugs" and "scary vid from Katrina" squares last night! ;D http://www.houstonpress.com/art/media/feature-bingo.pdf (http://www.houstonpress.com/art/media/feature-bingo.pdf)
We're staying put for Dean. Gas in the elevated Jeep, may leave my Toyota in the garage at work. Cash on hand, food/water, beer & wine, battery-powered fans & lanterns, store the patio furniture & plants; may board some windows depending on where it's predicted to land. Now that we've got the problems that sent us to my brother's house during Rita fixed like the ancient roof, bad windows and dead/dying trees removed, there's no way we're getting into any type of evacuation madness. Besides, we're not in a surge zone. Leave the roads & hotel rooms open for people who live on the coast - it's the least I can do for the charming denizens who make our weekend trips fun.
It's brilliant in its simplicity, but I wonder if that would attract undue attention in the men's room.
Maybe if you're draping them on either side of the urinal. Then again, the venue where I bartended the most had one men's room with a urinal and one stall with no door - what's the point of that?
-
How would it attract attention? They should only be able to tell if they're peeking in at you. You bunch it up only at the top, cram it in the slot, and let the rest of it trail down to cover whatever else.
Maybe if you're draping them on either side of the urinal. Then again, the venue where I bartended the most had one men's room with a urinal and one stall with no door - what's the point of that?
Yeah, with no door you're gonna need a lot of toilet paper. :lol:
Merla and I were getting a kick out of Hurricane Flossie. I bet it's full of sheep.
-
The satellite photo was full of little cottony tails. ;D
If Dean continues on present course, it's good for us, but bad for the Valley & Mexico. Just the same, I'm getting some Progresso clam chowder and Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies. I can't possibly face a storm siege without them.

My take on it is this: nobody's gonna be able to write a letter to the local paper accusing me of not letting them know there was bad weather on the way while I was on the air. Then again, I'm no meteorologist; all I give is what comes in from the NOAA/NWS and what I see on the radar at the time, and I make quick work of that, and throw on the music. But if it's looking nasty, I'm going to repeat it between at least every other song.
-
I keep calling Hurricane Dean "Hurricane Deano". Just the same, I kinda want it to rain to the point that the school's close, if only because I'm not looking forward to it at the moment and want my vacation to last a little longer. I swear, we've been flooding worse and worse this year. I asked Merla what she thought of it, and her first words were about the stream of development here. Makes sense. No trees and plants, nothing to stop the water from rushing everywhere. Things are getting flooded that don't usually get flooded, so I'm feeling a little worried.
-

Why? Does it keep staggering back and forth while stopping from time to time to tell Jerrry Lewis to shut the fuck up?
-

This is a very wise course of action for a tornado or flash flood warning. What I'm objecting to is the bad news ratings war the local stations get into to keep viewers for a developing story over a week to 10 days. For example, the storm is predicted to end up in Northern Mexico - all the weather gurus agree on that now because of the system of high pressure currently blanketing our area of the Gulf. That's not gonna move without another front pushing it out, and none are developing in time to do that. There is a chance, depending on how the Yucatan steers the storm, that residents in Texas border towns, some of which live in horribly poverty-stricken colonias or in trailer parks, could be affected by wind gusts and rain, since the eastern side of a hurricane is the "dirty" side. Good common sense - the state is concerned. However, one TV station (the one that employs Dr. Hurricane Boner) chooses to run this headline on its website:
FEMA to Texans: Prepare to evacuate
Yes, strictly speaking, these residents are Texans, and the article does mention that buses were readied to deploy from San Antonio earlier in the week when no one was sure where the storm was headed. This doesn't need a headline implying that FEMA is predicting that the state needs to migrate north.
Hurricanes are answerable to the laws of nature and follow the path of least resistance. Even though hurricanes do have names, they are not thinking entities and are not subject to mood swings. ::)

Seems to be straight-lining it for the moment. Maybe God is giving it a sobriety test after Jamaica.
-
I hate miami and want to destroy it. Bombs aren't good enough, I need to invoke old testament god to come out of retirement and fuck this place up sodom and gamorah style.
-
When that happens, save a front row ticket for me.
-
Sure, if you wanna be a pillar of salt that's your business.
But afterwards I'm stealing your iPod.

The scroll wheel may be broken on it. if that's the case you can have it.

Annoyance rather than wrath, but this is something a local news station started doing every night.
11 o'clock news starts with a reporter standing on the corner of a high-middle-class street: "It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your children are?"
First time I saw it I thought they were going to have a story on a kidnapping. Then I saw it the next night.
And the next.
Every single night, they start the news, not by saying "breaking news!", but by playing that stupid clip that makes it seem as if a bunch of kids were missing or kidnapped.
Yes, I know where my kids are. I sold them into slavery for thousands of dollars.
-
Sounds like someone paid too much.
-
If a Ipod was caught in the aftermath wave of the wrath of God, it's entire playlist would consist of nothing but "You're Beautiful"" by James Blunt and you couldn't delete it.
-
Better that than "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter.
-
Saved from page 2! (ok, so maybe not as big as being saved from page 10, but I think page 10 would be 2 years ago or something)
I have no idea why they did this, but in one computer lab, they disabled the sound cards on every single computer. And since I can't afford broadband at home, I come in here for anime and youtube and stuff. And now I can't even do it right now, which is the reason I'm here at the lab!
I have to report a problem with all the macs around here, so I may find someone to bitch about this as well. It doesn't make a lot of sense to take away the sound on computers unless it was too many people playing loud rap music.
-
That's funny, I was having sound problems at school, too. I couldn't play music from Myspace and Trig. I figured the lab decided to be bitches, but then I played around with the recording and volume controls and eventually got music. Also, the printers at the school now seem determined to hate me.
-
Gah, now I really have a reason to bitch at the lab staff.
Everyone I've talked to say, in order to get Japanese characters for windows, you go into control panel, Regional & Language Settings, and then select Japanese from the list.
Well, in all the computers, Japanese isn't there, and then I'm told I have to chell the "Install files for East Asia Languages" box in order to set it up. And then it asks me for the Windows XP CD.
So obviously there's no Japanese on these computers, unless there's another way to do it. I'll have to wait until Monday to ask other students how they do it.
-
I have done that for no less than three different computers and have never needed a CD.
-
Clicked the box checked "Install files for East Asia Languages" and not needed a disk? Teh hell?
Well, I've tried every computer lab in the entire campus and gotten the same thing. No ability to type in Japanese. Bitch-slapping of school computer staff will commence tomorrow. Until then, since this stupid thing is asking for the WinXP SP2 cd, and my only copy of the SP2 cd is at my grandparents and they're on vacation, I'll just download the damn SP2 cd and burn a copy.
-
Clicked the box checked "Install files for East Asia Languages" and not needed a disk? Teh hell?
Yep. I've never even held a Windows XP disc, let alone used one, and I can type in Japanese on my computer as well on Merla's two. I've never typed in Japanese at a lab, so I don't know if you need permissions or something, since I've been admin on all the computers I've enabled it on. From what I knew, the EAL pack or whatever is already on the computer and I just click the button and install it.
-
Apparently I can do it on a Mac, though. I guess Macs are superior.
-
I get irrationally furious at purse straps touching me. As in other people's purse straps. It just bugs me. Irrationally so.
Pfft. Ha.
-
You better get your purse away from me.
-
Are man-purses still allowed or are guys supposed to have a pack wench like IDE now?
-
I don't go in for that pack wenching business. I'm actually pretty chivalrous what with opening the car door for the ladies and what not.
-

Messenger bags are allowed but not Louis Vuitton ones unless said man is gay.
-
If you can't carry in your pocket...you don't need it.

Incoming reply to old quote!
You know what really drives me nuts. All these fucking catagories for rock and metal music. Oh you got your death metal and your powet metal and your metalcore and your goth-emo-powet-death-nu-thrash-buttfuck-metal. And then you're like "Well, what catagory does my favorite band fit into" and it's hard to choose because it fits into 50 fucking catagories!!!
As a metalhead, I agree. I stopped trying to categorize anything I listen to since it all became too confusing and retarded.
-
Everything is in my pockets. I have a money clip; a billfold with my driver's license, credit card, and a half dozen other card things; pocket knife; USB drive; contact case; phone.

Yes 3! I'm on the rag!
I don't like tampons, those things hurt.

You know which hole, right?

Shut-up! They are just uncomfortable!
I'm telling my sis, not you Bernie.

I find them a bit uncomfortable these days, too. I'm assuming it's the cancer that will one day claim my life hard at work.

Use the smaller ones more often.
Hey, that could be good dating advice, too. :happy:
