Oh, my day, isn't it?

Sunday's Question: A chance to vent.
What is something in your day-to-day life that pisses you off? That really gets your goat? Eg. When people cut you off in traffic, when the power goes out with no ETA on restoration, when people keep saying something that just really annoys you.
One thing, but elaborate as much as you think it deserves.

 

People who get in the way of me walking somewhere. Like those people who walk slowly in the middle the footpath, but there's not enough space to overtake them and you're frantically trying to duck through and you're in a rush but they're just walking.so.fucking.slowly, that really grinds my gears. Same with people who don't move over to the left side of the escalator to let other people walk up it. I spend 4 hours a day, five days a week on public transport so anything that inhibits my ability to continue from point A to point B makes me want to break necks. Unless its an elderly or disabled person to whom Im infinitely patient

Oh god, all of that....  One thing... hmm...  Well there's quite a few things, but on a daily basis I would say it's dumb ****ing drivers.  People who cut you off, ride your ass (especially when you're doing the speed limit and they feel you're in the way of their going a BILLION mph), don't use turn signals, especially when they're about to turn, you have no idea, they get right up to the turn slam their brakes, and turn on their turn signals as they're ****ing TURNING!!!! AAARRGGGHGHHHHHHHHFKJLHGLKSJHFAL;KFJ!!!!!!!!!!  So then you almost rear end them because they're too stupid to turn on their turn signal a few feet before their turn so that you can slow down and back off, and also people who go like 10 mph in the left lane, if you wanna go slow as **** that's what the right lane is for, I don't advocate for speeding in the left lane but at least do the speed limit.

So much rage.... -_-

 

Mine's a bit broader of a thing; it's when people say or do things incorrectly. Not just when other people do it, but me as well.
The first example is grammar and stuff. I'm fine with typos, cause they're just simple and unintentional mistakes. But what I'm not fine with is when people don't use punctuation, use it incorrectly, or use the wrong words. Like when people put in unneeded apostrophes, when they use things like the wrong their there they're, your you're, it's its, and my particular favourites, when they don't even know what word they're using, like loose instead of lose, and could of instead of could have. (And yes, I am aware there should be an apostrophe in front of "cause" )
Second, following instructions. I am extremely thorough with my instructions. I take ages to cook something because I keep referring back to the recipe, I'm very precise with my cleaning because I want it done absolutely right. And when people refuse to listen to the instructions they're given, like "No, mum, for the FIFTH time, they wanted it done like THIS."
Third, science and facts and stuff. When people use the wrong term to describe something, such as when they think venom is the same thing as poison. And what really makes me lose it is when someone says "Just a theory." In the scientific community, a theory is a well established and acknowledged idea, backed up by sound evidence; yet non-scienced people think that it is the same as the scientific definition of hypothesis.
I was losing my mind last election from all the bull that It kept spouting, and that all of Its sheep kept re-spouting.

And three. Two. One. I'm good now. XD

Eh, I was extremely busy running The Midnight Channels marathon yesterday. The marathon spanned over 7 hours, then a hour and a half of Golden Boy was featured just a little more than a hour after that. So after everything I completely spaced my Saturday question.

@Sunday’s question. Nothing really pisses me off on a day to day basis.


That reminds me, what's happening with Monday's?

 

I'm pretty calm for the most part (except in sports where I go all out). I'll tell you one thing though that makes me angry and confused.

Listening to the news and hearing about people doing stupid and inhumane things. As a sensitive person I can't tune out this stuff. Try as I might just don't understand the cruelty of some people.

 

I manage a retail store in a wealthy area and we are plagued by people we have dubbed “the entitled tos.” Basically they are only wealthy because they are so cheap. They treat you really badly and complain to try to get their way. As a service providers, I have to be polite. I hate it, hate it, hate it. Everyone deserves respect, regardless of their social status. They are no better than me because they married into money and pinched pennies. Most of the women have never worked a day in their lives, let alone worked and raised a child. grrrr


Oh god, retail.... -_-

 

@bedheadred I know your pain (this is my fifth year in retail) You can just tell that some customers get off on being able to boss somebody around for awhile to make up for their otherwise dull lives. My favourite line to use to rude customers is the good old' "I'm sorry you feel that way" which is the rudest I can ever be to customer, and to any other customer service rep they know those words actually mean "if I wasn't in a uniform right now I would punch your teeth out".

Also @bk-201 I think you need one of these wheelchairs!

Oh my god I work in retail too.
High 5 Red, I have to deal with people like that too.

 

sunday : when i am sleeping then someone knocks to my door for an errand that he/she can do. i really take time in my sleep and i dont want to be disturbed unless emergency.

 

@Sporadic Neat, but I meant Monday's question. Noticed an absence of it.

 

wednesday

can you swim? like floating over water and moving around deep water kind of swim?

me no and but im practicing and sinks every time.

 

I'm not a fast swimmer, but I can easily keep afloat. About 10 kilos of buoyancy disappeared without my knowledge a year or so ago, so since then I've had to not be lazy in the paddling. XD

 

I can swim, and I can go out pretty deep.
