Things that piss you off to all hell

[UnatcoAgent]

What really pisses you off?

For me:
- Wires getting stuck on VGA cable connectors
- ISP bandwidth limit warnings
- Downloading all of battlestar gallactica, actually convincing the woman to sit down and watch it with me, and its missing the series pilot / episode 1

Shakes head slowly and turns the page.

- People who don't signal when turning
- People who walk and talk
- People who try to "introduce" you to the word of God

I get pissed at random times usually because of nothing. Today I threw a penguin against the wall and it cured it.

Woah yeah, this happened to me the other morning sitting outside having a coffee - a lady walked up and tried to start with this, not cool at 8am.

- OSX. I have to partition my hard drive and install a separate OS just to play a game. Unforgivable.

like. How in the bloody hell did this become part of normal speech? Is it really that damn hard to not say "like" for every 4th word in a sentence.

Also, the credit card machines in the Superfresh at 10th & South here in Philly. Out of 9 lanes, only 1 can read gift cards.

Yeah, I'm running Leapord and I only have Spore, Quake 4 and Doom 3 installed, maybe picking up COD4 but aside from that, there isn't much else out there. No fallout 3 either

You need to stop hanging out with the girls from Sweet Valley High.

I work on a college campus... *cries*

Funny thing is, before I started here, I had no idea people actually talked like the "valley girl".

Seriously. I haven't even bothered to pick up any games for it. I'll probably just wait until I get Boot Camp going (and error free this time) to get some games.

I began installing bootcamp, but it wasn't working very well (the install) and I started to get a bit nervous, I think it's one of those things you want to install after a fresh OSX install, and avoid any risk of nuking your system. This happened to a buddy of mine, not cool. I even have the 8800 GTS and nothing really to test it out on.

I think you forgot, "People that walk on my lawn"

 

[aesthetics]

-Word repetition in speech/lack of articulation
-Basic grammatical errors
-Being cut off/having to brake because someone got in front of me
-Unspecific questions that make me have to ask my own questions in order to be able to answer
-People who complain about the cost of gas-- yes, it is expensive to drive a vehicle. Welcome to the real world. If you don't like it, take the bus or walk.

Yeah I know the feeling. I tried running Boot Camp after a fresh OSX install and it installed fine... but after one or two time, Windows just started hanging at the black load screen and would refuse to boot into the OS, safe mode or not. I wound up just getting pissed off and uninstalling and deleting the partition. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime soon.

Also, when you're driving down an empty road, and despite seeing that no cars besides you are coming, some asshat decides to pull out in front of you, then proceed to drive slow.

Once, driving down a two lane, one each way, deserted road, ONE guy came up behind me (I was doing about 75) and he decided I was going too slow and went into the on-coming traffic lane to go around me. Normally I wouldn't care, but he then proceeded to drive roughly 15 MPH. I was like wtf?

Yeah... that shit too. And people wonder why there's road rage...

 

[nageov3t]

the fact that they close the self-check-out lanes at the grocery store. what's the point? instead of having 2 cashiers overseeing 2 lanes, you could have 1 cashier overseeing 1 lane and another overseeing the 4 self lanes.

The word "netbook"
