radio stations that broadcast for an entire day, yet somehow, limit themselves to a playlist of 20 or 30 songs

so many songs out their that they could use... but yeah

I know some of them want to keep current, but their's a way of doing that without hearing the same song 15 times in an hour

Yep, gotta love it when a good song gets played to death until you can't stand it anymore.

I mainly notice this on the chase,

but it can happen on any gameshow

where the host tries to convince the contestant to go for a diffrent answer than the one they want to go for.

I just don't see how that's in the rules.. if you don't know the answer, you shouldn't get guided to the right answer by the host, you just take your guess

when you're watching one of those kids arts shows, and the presenter is cutting out the card with the scissors and he says please, don't try this at home.

the target audience is a 6/7 year old

I really don't think they will try it...

My downstairs tenant works late and comes home every night at 3:00am. She wakes up every dog in the neighbourhood including mine. Often this results in my having to get up and walk my dog.

I’m not one to get irked with store employees or fast food workers. I try to treat them the way I’d want to be treated at my job. However, this one fast food worker was so dumb I was getting frustrated.

This was at McDonald’s. I went in there right at 11 and ordered a #10 which was 2 snack wraps. She said to me “we don’t serve breakfast anymore.” Ok. That’s not what I said. Then I tried to just order ala cart. I said I wanted two snack wraps without ranch dressing and lettuce. She gave me a blank stare and said “so you want just chicken and cheese?” Yes. Why are you so confused and why are you questioning me anyways? Then she asked me how many I wanted when I had already told her. I then told her I wanted a large iced coffee. She asked me if I wanted caramel in it. No I didn’t. Then she couldn’t comprehend that I wanted iced coffee. She said “so you want coffe in a cup with ice? Do you want a hot coffee and then just put ice in it yourself?” Seriously? I told her I just wanted an iced coffee the way they usually make it. She tried for a few more moments to make me change my mind and then her supervisor came over and seemed annoyed with her. She finally got my order right and after 20 minutes, it came up correctly.

But I have never dealt with so much stupidity when ordering food. Seriously, how complicated can it be to put an iced coffee into the register? Plus questioning me about what I wanted is irking me too.

^^Wow. Maybe she's new there, but it doesn't sound like she's going to last very long. You're a better person than I am. I would have totally lost patience.

People who deal so poorly with rejection (in dating) that they try to get revenge, or are mean to the person who rejected them. Ugh. Grow up.
Thanks for this!

Press the star key

You mean the asterisks?

The one above the 8.

So the asterisks?

Also it's a pound not a hashtag.

Asterisks and pound. That's all. I'm going to twitch in a corner now.

when people stand on the corner of the street fundraising for charity, but have absolutely no interest in what they are doing

you can at least talk about your charity and what the money would go towards

sheesh

standing their with a face like a wet weekend won't get you much. I'm sorry but it won't.

Two things this morning:

My downstairs neighbour just left and yet again she slammed her door shut behind her. The whole house shakes. For goodness sake, if there is a problem call maintenance for a repair.

My boyfriend, bless him, likes to fidget and touch near every knob and button in my car. It is worse when he drives it. I find this really irritating. Perhaps it is the ocd in me. Nothing is left as I had it. I have asked him to stop it - even not changing the satellite station. Sure, if you need to alter the temperature controls so be it but don't touch anything else please. I am sure he can't help it. I notice he does the same in his own car. He probably doesn't even realise he does it.

I don't see why slamming doors is a thing.

I mean what does it accomplish

People who channel surf. AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGH!

The stop-and-start sound of words being constantly interrupted in mid-syllable just drives me NUTS!

It isn't so bad if the channel surfer hits the mute button first, but you can't do that with car radios. I've been stuck riding with people who surf so bad, I never get to hear a complete song. It gives me a headache. "Ew, I don't like that song." If I happen to love it, so what? All that matters is that *they* don't like it. So they start flipping through the stations. By the time they hit on a song they do like, it's halfway over. Whether I happen to like that song or not, that's where the radio sits until it's finished. Then either they don't like the next one, or it's, "Ew, I don't want to hear commercials," and they start switching stations again.
Thanks for this!

I agree, very annoying

My dad would channel surf. It would drive me crazy. Especially since he would always get back to the show we were watching right as it came back on. But you know, his house his rules. I stick with my own TV now, and luckily I don’t have to deal with my dad anymore.

Sorry to the women on here if you do this, but it's so irritating when you say "my hubby" instead of just "my husband".


People thinking the world owes them a living.

Being misunderstood when my intentions are good. That is, someone who projects their negativity onto me and assumes I am attacking when I am not, at all.

Yes, that’s a tough one to stomach. You sally forth with nothing but the very best of intentions but the person that you’re attempting to support can see only negativity and responds to good intentions — any intentions — as being an attack when, in fact, that was never, never your intention.

I like to think that those people are in the minority here. But maybe not. As sour as I can be, I’m trying to leave behind a good impression, these days. Yeah, my sense of humor — dry and brittle and kinky and fractured and obtuse — is seldom appreciated, but that doesn’t preclude my offerings!
