people who send me the same question via email that I have answered 8 times before. I just keep forwarding the original answer back to them......but it's still annoying.


when my kid decides to "play dumb" I know she does it because she knows it annoys me.

the stray cat who lives on my porch

"meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow" (continues for hours)

so I go out and try to talk to it right?

"meow, meow, meow" as I get close "HISS" *scratch*

freaking cat! what does it want?

But apparently only atheists make fun of his Catholicism.

Like the Protestants don't have a hand in THAT.

In my experience, Protestants who go out of their way to hate Catholicism tend to take a more proactive role.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/af/Klan-in-gainesville.jpg

Remember, this is a thread of what irks us, not what strikes fear in us. Those atheists who I do find irksome tend to give me a reaction of "Will you give it a rest, for Chrissakes? :rolleyes:", not "Huh... I think I may need a gun. :eek:"

And I did make a mistake before; I implied that most atheists tend to treat the religious like they're inferior. Most atheists that I know don't really care one way or another. There's just a couple vocal ones on this forum and in RL that really stand out.

He was joking when he posted it.

And for revenge I stole his trebuchet.

...why? Why would you do such a thing? :(

I'm usually a fan of the 'think of the good things' threads, but it's a shitty, rainy day, and I'm sick, and I want to be pissy today.

So what things irk you to no end? It can be about people, places, happenings, whatever.

Here's a recent one of mine:

My sister-in-law was over the other day, and I was barbecuing some steaks. I like to season the meat, then soak it in beer. Now she always makes a big deal out of alcohol...she doesn't drink, and she is annoying to those who do. I long ceased giving a shit. I'll drink when I please, and if you don't like it, go away. Anyway, she also makes a big, stupid stink about COOKING with alcohol. So she tastes the meat, asks if I used beer on it, and when I said yes, she made this disgusted face and passed her steak on to someone else.

I wanted to smack her right in the face. "I don't drink." is what she said. MY GOD WOMAN, get an education! Any alcohol in the beer evaporated long ago.

So really, things like this irk me to no end. When people hold on to their stupidity just for the sake of being stubborn. Fine, if you don't like the TASTE, that's one thing...but don't make it about something stupid.

Etc.

So? RANT ON!
I'm in such a mood to rant I even had to make my own thread...

And those are just a few reasons that made me feel like I needed to vent some steam.

When people touch my music, it really drives me crazy. My iTunes account is hooked up to my last.fm music profile, so when people play songs, it's recorded for all the world to see. So, naturally, it irritates me when friends plug their iPods in and listen to fifty-five Alexisonfire songs in a row. Because I really need people losing respect for my carefully cultivated music tastes! Plus it just bugs me when I've had a shuffle going on my iPod for like 100 songs, and someone comes along and switches it to like one individual song that they put on loop. Grrr.

It's just plain old hypocritical to be a christian in favour of the death penalty, all things considered. There was this really offensive Lenny Bruce quote about, something like, "And since they're so in favour of the death penalty, I wish they'd stop b.tching about Jesus getting nailed up." So truthful.

EDIT: But I'm with Neesika on why it's not a contradiction for liberals.

Etc.

So? RANT ON!

1) "What we found out has really surprised us. The conventional wisdom accepted by just about everyone in the food world is that all the alcohol you add to a dish evaporates or dissipates during cooking. It’s wrong. In fact, you have to cook something for a good three hours to really eradicate all traces of alcohol. And some cooking methods are less effective at removing alcohol than just letting it stand out uncovered overnight.

A study conducted by the US Department of Agriculture’s Nutrient Data Laboratory calculated the percentage of alcohol remaining in a dish based on various cooking methods. The results are as follows:

Preparation Method Percent of Alcohol Retained
alcohol added to boiling liquid & removed from heat 85%
alcohol flamed 75%
no heat, stored overnight 70%
baked, 25 minutes, alcohol not stirred into mixture 45%
baked/simmered, alcohol stirred into mixture:
15 minutes
40%
30 minutes
35%
1 hour
25%
1.5 hours
20%
2 hours
10%
2.5 hours
5%

"

3) you want to smack your sister? dont think that smacking you sister in the face will give her education.

the repeated stereotyping of males as stupid and insensitive.

the email I received today in honor of Father's day (this Sunday US)

BECAUSE I'M A DAD...



..I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I'll miss a whole show looking for it. (Although one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator.)



..when I lock my keys in the car, I will fiddle with a wire clothes hanger and ignore your suggestions that we call road service until long after hypothermia has set in. Oh, and when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another guy shows up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start."



..when I catch a cold I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't an issue.



..I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk, or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like "Cumin" or "Tofu." For all I know these are the same thing. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up a copy of "Cosmo" or "Better Homes & Gardens."



..when one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.



..I don't think we're all that lost, and no, I don't think we should stop and ask someone. Why would you listen to a complete stranger--how could HE know where we're going?



..you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.



..I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?

Webdesigners... they seem to be the most stupid profession and SURELY were on the B-ark. If any webdesigner is here then please listen and change your evil ways:
* Not everyone has windows. Yes, that means you windows-font-includer, yes that means you, fo- IE-optimizer, yes that means you, Flash-includer!
* Not everyone has flash! Not everyone wants flash. There are people on low RAM, on obscure systems, on 64-bit... These people will avoid your sites.
* Not everyone has super-tiny fonts! Some people do not allow font-sizes smaller than x, build your page so that does not matter!
* Not everyone wants to dive through your organisations! make all your tiny unimportant suborganisations get their act together, ffs!

Other things I hate are hot days, people who use my stuff, windows, glass splinters on the ground, almost all kinds of shoes, amoral people, people who are proud to be dumb, health nuts, and the idiots who use their mobiles to play music in the public transport or at train stations, bus stops and so on.

none of that describes my husband......except maybe the last one......

anywho, hubby gets a lot of crap from other men for not being like all that.

in fact, we were over at dinner at a friend's house once and she needed....girl stuff....because she had just had a baby and her husband refused to go buy it, I told her I would go, and she said "no, I want you to stay here" so hubby volunteered.......every man in the room looked at him like he had three heads or something.......he said "what?! they aren't going to think it's for me, and even if they do, think of all the fun they will have talking about the guy who bought pads"

it would take a good while for the paper to wear through though. and the glue is pretty supple for a long time unless you keep the books in hot dry conditions. books aren't all that expensive either, charity shops i find have a huge selection and they're rarely over a pound. of course if a book broke in my possession i'd expect to be the one to replace it. i should also point out i'm rather incapable of looking after things (not the worst i know, i hasten to add) so you shouldn't really take me too seriously on this, i'm just making excuses ;)

It's mostly because reading it at a normal totally open level tends to break the spine. My sister is no longer allowed to read any of my first edition hard covers of books after she left one open and turned upside down once. They're not "valuable" per se, but I like to keep them in good condition.

Nu-Rave; anybody with a "save the rave" t-shirt, or a glow-stick, needs a slapping.Fuck that, glowsticks are awesome. The fact that I had to look up nu-rave suggests I'm not one of them (I think I like one klaxons song but not enough to actually care). That said, I only get to go to Drum 'n' Bass gigs, which are fucking awful without chemical enhancement of some kind, so I can't complain. Still really pissed off that I missed this gig in Manchester a while back, this huge Warehouse Project thing called Beneath the Streets where they held different dance gigs underneath the centre of Manchester (in a former air raid shelter) over 3 days. Fucking exams :mad:

maybe he acts that way because he thinks he is supposed to.
Nah, he acts that way 'cause he's a prick.

none of that describes my husband......except maybe the last one......

anywho, hubby gets a lot of crap from other men for not being like all that.

He should fight them. :D

in fact, we were over at dinner at a friend's house once and she needed....girl stuff....because she had just had a baby and her husband refused to go buy it, I told her I would go, and she said "no, I want you to stay here" so hubby volunteered.......every man in the room looked at him like he had three heads or something.......he said "what?! they aren't going to think it's for me, and even if they do, think of all the fun they will have talking about the guy who bought pads"

and left.

everyone asked me while he was gone if I "thought he was gay or something"

:rolleyes:

And those are friends?

Wow, didn't actually think guys that retarded existed anymore. Buying women's clothing in his size is something to question, not picking up sanitary towels.

why would I question him dressing as a woman? wouldn't bother me.........:cool:

however, I could list all the things that people have decided makes him gay

he showers daily
he keeps his nails trimmed
he will go to the store to buy anything I need, even if other people think it's embarrassing
he likes all sorts of movies, even "chick flicks"
he likes musicals
he likes to smell nice
he is afraid of spiders
his socks match
he almost always matches his shoes and his belt
and he doesn't mind dressing up to go out.

also, he really doesn't follow sports.

yeah.

I've been assumed as gay for most of the reasons on that list.

Apparently, liking to dress nicely, reading as a hobby, and being able to follow a conversation with phrases like 'cut against the bias' in it... is somehow indicative that you don't like girls...?

Whoa! It's weird to shower daily? I mean, I forget/am too tired sometimes, but I make an effort to shower daily...
he keeps his nails trimmed
So he should grow long, womanish nails to prove his manhood?
he will go to the store to buy anything I need, even if other people think it's embarrassing
That's just a dumb reason.

He's gay. :)
he likes musicals
Doublegay*. :D
he likes to smell nice
*is reminded of Deliverance, for some reason*
Sorry, I'm just imagining a hillbilly holding him at gunpoint and saying "you smell real purty..."
he is afraid of spiders
Who isn't?
his socks match
Okay, he's not gay, he's crossed into "paranormal anomaly" at this point...
he almost always matches his shoes and his belt
I didn't know there were belts other than "black with silver rivets".
and he doesn't mind dressing up to go out.
Yeah... that doesn't make him gay. It makes him a good boyfriend, AFAIK...

also, he really doesn't follow sports.

As long as he doesn't mind playing them, that's not gay.

yeah.
Yeah.

that's a stupid rule. a musical about transsexual transvestites is the only acceptable choice for straight guys?!

uh....no.

what about Guys and Dolls? Sweeney Todd? Phantom of the Opera?

The rule is based on the fact that that's the only one I really like. All That Jazz and Chorus Line weren't bad, though.

But RHPC is the only musical I've ever seen that I didn't doze off for the musical numbers... and it had Meatloaf in hit. Meatloaf is for teh win. :D

EDIT: and he's not a transexual transvestite. He's a Transvestite from Transexual, a planet in the Transylvania Galaxy.

you mean the movie version had Meatloaf in it?

how many times have you seen it live? (like as in the actual musical)

how many times have you seen the movie live? (like not in your living room)

hmm?

yeah, that's what I thought.

I have been Columbia, I have thrown toast. You don't get to lecture me.

Nope. :(

If I had enough disposable money to see a musical, I'd probably just go to a hockey game instead. Or Shakespeare. They're pretty similar, really. :)

high school musicals are usually free or very cheap, I mean they suck, but you could at least go to one......once.

I've only ever gone to my high school's plays. Actually, just one of them. And that was because I had a crush on the girl who was playing Viola (the play was Twelfth Night). Man, she was hot as a guy... *reminisces*

I'll probably see a real musical, someday. When there's a decent one in town. Or I'm in a town with a decent one in it. Whatev.

The California DMV. So many reasons to hate them and absolutely no reason to like them. They are one of the many California bureaucracies that doesn't believe in internal communication. They don't even believe in letting you know when they've suspended your license (for no good reason either, just because a check bounced). Nooooo, you have to wait until you try to get a new license in another state and find you can't. Now I have to go through a whole bunch of rigamarole for something that should have been a simple process.

Damn them anyway.
