Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[Big Plastic Head]

What about people who don't put their carts in the proper place when they're done shopping?

Jesus. I cannot tell you how much that REALLY bugs me. Lazy ef-hucks.

What about people who don't put their carts in the proper place when they're done shopping?

There is a special sub circle in hell devoted to those who leave them inside parking spaces.

[Sarah]

Yes, they are bad and certainly cause the most inconvenience, but for some reason I hate most the ones who take the time to walk their carts back to the store and then just give them an aimless shove once they're inside, instead of taking three extra steps to put them where they're supposed to be.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Yes, but that makes it like a fun game.

[gravy boat]

Yes, but that makes it like a fun game.

True. There's no more satisfying end to a shopping trip than lining up your cart 20 feet away from the cart corral and giving it a good shove that splits the uprights.  Sometimes you have to adjust for a bad wheel but that adds to the fun.

I'm sure you're thankful for the ones with obsessive tendencies like me who have to make the chair, books, and computer accessories symmetrical before they leave. Meanwhile, I'll be painfully wondering if everything truly was symmetrical for the next five or so minutes.

While I would show concern for your condition, I must admit that you would probably do the job better than me.

I hate that my wife has a medical condition that keeps her from enjoying British comedy. She was born in London and her family moved here when she was 4. Her family apparently watched anything English on TV when she was a kid. She now claims to suffer from BHPTS (Benny Hill Post Traumatic Syndrome). I can't get her to even LOOK at Alan Partridge. Mighty Boosh is verboten. Very depressing. I have so watch this stuff locked in a closet with my ear against the speaker.

The one thing I've gotten her to sit through is Nighty-Night. The fact that she'll fight through the effects of her BHPTS to watch it is a testament to it's brilliance.

I can empathise. I suffer from Yackety Sax Syndrome.

When people don't get it.

That car commercial that has Tim Allen saying "this is America, man."

[Pregnant Pause]

I work a boring office job, and since employees can't be trusted to use the internet judiciously, we have an internet filter in place.  Normally I don't really care, I don't need to watch youtube at work.  But this set me on edge:

Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Charitable Organizations;Social Networking".

Scrabble Flash...what's wrong with plain old scrabble?

[Pidgeon]

People who refer to Israel as a "she."

[cavorting with nudists]

But, but, it was long traditional usage to refer to nations with feminine pronouns, though I believe the practice is in decline.  Is this something specific about Israel or about dummies who use antiquated locutions?

[Pidgeon]

It's nothing against Israel in particular; I just always hear conservatives refer to it in that way and at this point I think it's the only country really referred to as such in English.

So yeah, just annoying outdated terminology.
