Things That Annoy You

[SpaceProg]

Be careful and stock up on feel-good type stories, games, movies, and other positive things; because working retail will make you hate humanity.

After a while you'll just be thinking: "Oh to hell with all of you, gimme your money and go away."

I work at Target now as a cashier, and every day I get a few customers using WIC. This doesn't bother me, but apparently it's an invitation for other customers to generally treat someone like dirt. I had that happen today with a teenage girl & her baby (who had significantly darker skin than his mom) and one of the nastiest people I've ever met. This particular oxygen thief was an older lady in an expensive coat who snarled at me, snarled at her, snarled at the baby, spouted all sorts of racist epithets, and threw a fit when she refused to thank her for paying her taxes. The teenager was close to tears when the whole ordeal was over, and the only thing I could do was make a big show of calling her "ma'am" while refusing to address the older lady at all. I suppose that's retail, but what I'd give to be able to punch that lady in the face.

Send that one in to Not Always Right.

Same goes for Vypernight's post.

You know what's a bad idea? Taking a "fuck that" sort of approach to the recommended dosage of cough syrup. While it does help with the cough and sore throat somewhat, it makes walking in a straight line and not whacking your shins on every piece of nearby furniture somewhat challenging.

It is certainly a tad trippy, though. I have to give it that. Really breaks up the monotony of being sick.

I don't like Doctor Who. I mean, I used to love it, but now I really can't stand all this "believe in the Doctor" and "the POWER OF LOVE" BS anymore. I'm really bloody sick of technology and actual science being almost constantly demonised, I'm sick of every other companion wanting to get in his pants and I'm sick of new technologies and such turning out to be evil because of...reasons. Anything than could advance humanity in even the most remote way is EVIL. I know Doctor Who isn't meant to be anywhere near hard sci-fi, but rampant semi-luddite anti-intellectualism? Really?

Done.

Youtube's new comment layout is ass.

Why does it default to top comments instead of newest comments?  Why the fuck would I want to know which comments are popular first?  It's going to take me at least a month to get used to this...

And then they'll change it to something stupid.

One of the puppeteers I worked with at HHN would literally drink straight Dayquil from the bottle during work.

Just when you thought Youtube comments couldn't get much worse, now they're laid out in the most asinine way possible, force you to use Google+ in order to keep that shitty Facebook clone on life support and are now full of fucking hashtags of all things.

Why can't Google just accept that they fail at social networking and be done with it? It would make all our lives so much more pleasant.

Unless it's industrial strength prescription stuff or a shared supply, I usually just take a swig straight from the bottle, mostly because being sick makes me incredibly lazy.

Yeah, but you don't have to pee standing up. That's where the impeded motor skills really screw you over. Besides, I'm taking more like 1/3 of the bottle at once. Because I was really fucking tired of this cough and that syrup is damn delicious.

[SpaceProg]

Dayquil doesn't have the alcohol in it that Nyquil does.   Regardless, neither so much as fazes me, no matter the dose.   All these people I hear talking about how trippy this or that cough syrup is...
Does it have codeine and guiafinesin (sp?) in it?

[chitoryu12]

Along with alcohol and caffeine, I have a very high tolerance to the mind-altering effects of medications. Much like I've never gotten energy from caffeine or energy drinks, I've never gotten sleepy or loopy from cold medicine.

Okay, I take back half of my animosity towards the new Youtube comments.

Yeah, they're kinda ass to read, and you now need to be logged into Google+ to comment (RRRGH) but... at least you don't have that fucking bullshit 500 character limit anymore.
