Things That Annoy You

I understand ads on web sites are needed, but do they need to take up the ENTIRE #^##^^@@ PAGE?  Mass Effect Wiki's ads only take up the top portion.  Unfortunately, they make the page jump up and down so, instead of searching or scrolling as I'm reading something, I clicked 4 different links.

Thanks for the link.

My dumb-arse study group. Repeatedly late, prone to disasters involving children and health, and only one of them knows how to communicate effectively.

Dear Facebook users:

A zoomed in photo of your groinal area is not even remotely a good choice for a profile picture.

Best wishes.

If I marry an Indian, it will be because I want to, not because you are telling me to. And if I marry a Pakistani, then you can go stick a hot iron up your arses.

Righto, then.

I'm friends with tons of musicians, most of which are also starting bands and have only been performing for a year or two. As such, we constantly invite each other to our shows, which gets both expensive and time consuming, though that probably goes without saying. What bothers me about it is how little anyone seems to be willing to do to see anyone else perform. If it's not up the street or they're not sharing the stage, nobody seems to want to go. A lot of us don't have cars, so I get not wanting to travel far; having been stranded by the bus a few times, I completely understand this being an issue. What bothers me is that most musicians seem to have money to drink themselves stupid every weekend, but can't find $5 for a ticket to someone else's show, even if the band they want to see is offering free rides to and from the venue. It doesn't help that a lot of them say, "let me know when it is and I'll be there," then text me the night before about how they can't make it because they didn't practice their instrument that day or some such nonsense. Hell, I'm generally pretty broke and I've managed to make it out to a few shows every month.

Behavior like this makes me wonder how local music scenes survive at all.

Pretty much buggered in the gaming department. Mum sold my wii, gamecube and ps2 without my permission. My 360 is dead and the only way I can get it fixed is to talk to the most annoying rude man on the face of the planet. I still have my original xbox, but it plays like absolute fuciking shit on my HDTV, and i cant find an older TV in my house that doesnt emit a high pitched annoying whine.

Also a bit pissy that my sisters uni starts next week, and mine doesnt start till the seventh of next month. So im pretty much fucked in regards to keeping myself entertained

When my whole day is ruined by my m^&%*#f@(&_$! hormones (and I didn't realize it was just hormonal till the end of the day) ARGG!

Cramps. Also the fact that I'll likely be getting my period on my birthday, or right before it, which kind of sucks.

One of my favourite managers, and the one who I work with the most, is a homophobic Pentecostal.

That's like when I caught one of my favorite team leads reading "Atlas Shrugged". I asked her about it and it's apparently her "favorite book".

You can like a book without buying into all the bullshit. I like some of that stuff because I find it fascinating, not because I agree with the viewpoint.

Audio desync. Especially in a sketchy .avi video someone gave you that is actually encoded with the desync so there's nothing you can do to fix it.

While working the morning rush at the Coffee shop, I accidentally clink one of the Coffee pots with the Decaf pot.  Usually not a problem, but this time, the Decaf pot basically shatters, spilling hot coffee everywhere.   Including me. All down my pants, into my shoes, and up my shirt.   We're talking really, really hot coffee. 

The amazing thing is, after a second or two of intense pain (more like surprise pain, like when you get a paper cut), I focus back to the task on hand and start cleaning up the mess.  Meanwhile the entire store is in a frenzy, thinking I must have third degree burns, and that I'm in shock or something.   They offer to fill out a report, drive me to the hospital to get checked out, and are flummoxed when I decline.

Turns out, that despite having a half a pot of coffee splashed on me, I'm completley okay, but a goddamn cankersore causes me to use a half a tube of Orajel a day.   My body is wierd.
