    (things that piss)

    Managers who seem to have set "high priority" in their e-mail broadcasts by default.

    OMG I am going to immediately stop my work and pay attention to your high priority e-mail RIGHT NOW... not.

    Spitballing off of some other recent comments about children, I hate that some of my friends' facebooks and twitters have become "MY KID DID A TRIVIAL THING TODAY LOL CUTE" or "I AM BITCHING ABOUT A THING MY KID DOES OR DOESN'T DO."
    Listen, I'm following you, not your 4 year old. It must be annoying that he won't go to sleep but YOU HAD THE KID. If you wanted a nice quiet bedtime what you shouldn't have done is have a kid. I understand that's part of your life but it doesn't have to be every update you post.

    i was going to say "idunno. i post a lot of stuff about my cats." but cats are way cuter and more interesting than kids. and i say that as someone who wants to have a kid some day.
    that said, most parents are proud of their kids, and i can understand wanting to show that. but the way everyone is so engrained in social media at all times is really the core of the issue.

    My two biggest Facebook gripes are people asking you to get them something for a stupid game like FarmVille and it's written to try and make you feel bad for not wanting to take part, and people sharing those Facebook statuses written like 'only x number of people read my posts so, so I can tell you actually read tell us how we met in one word, then share this pointless post with all your friends'

    Rubbish pointless spamming

    That's unfortunately among the things I know all too well, but I also liked the way you put it there. Come to think of it, I like the way you put such things. At least it helps me laugh at them. (Since you know, the ability to laugh stuff off is sometimes actually more important than it looks/is.)

    Being expected to talk to an estranged family member who knowingly allowed their friend to molest me as a young child, then help cover it up. I have nothing I could ever want to say to this person and there's nothing they could say that I want to hear, but without me knowing, it's been set up for me to talk to them.

    Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'll be alright, but it makes more mad than anything really. I just can't stand when someone thinks they know what's best for someone else and puts them in situations they should be able to choose for themselves.

    FUCK that and FUCK whoever tried to set that up. Tell them no, and that if you ever feel the need to address it, you will do it on your own timeline.

    Forcing someone into something like this will only make it worse.

    Seriously, like are you suppose to accept an apology or something? A swift kick and a 'fuck off, I hope you die in a fire' would be all I'd give em. Oh yeah, there is forgiveness somewhere, but I don't know, can't be forced.

    @pillifred- bikes stole ?

    THIS.

    once i came up with something fairly ironic to post lampooning this and i wish to god i remember what it was.

    something like "if you don't repost this you like cancer and want to kill kittens for satan."

    it was something along those lines but it was actually pretty goddamn funny

    It sounds more like the person feels guilty and wants to make themselves feel better, rather than anything to benefit you. That's really shitty, more like a 'big thing' that pisses you off

    Was reading a link on FB about fitting cops with cameras. Much like youtube comments there was some really ignorant shit being said but this fuckwad took the cake. "Chris LastName-Hey, if it facilitates the police to blow away more disgusting thug punks like Mike Brown, I'm all for it." I hope he takes my suggestion and really does drink a gallon bleach.

    Saint Louis traffic.
    I work 23 miles from home, I get off at 7:00am and i'm usually home at around 7:35 every morning give or take. Well last night we had some freezing rain so the roads were a little slick, causing literally EVERY MAJOR HIGHWAY IN SAINT LOUIS TO BE SHUT THE FUCK DOWN.

    I left work at 7:00am and finally sat down on my couch at home at 10:20am. Mother fucker.

    I don't like Reggae. I never have. I don't "get it" and I don't enjoy listening to it or playing it. My band mates used to joke that the only reason I hate it is because I suck at playing it, which is half true; I really don't sound good when I try to play it. It's just not a part of my sound or style. My guitar player, on the other hand, loves Reggae. Bob Marley and the Wailers, Sublime and UB 40 are three of his favorite bands, and he used to play in a Reggae group.

    At one of our recent shows, he decided he wanted to play Jammin' by Bob Marley (this was after our I'm Yours/Don't Worry 'Bout A Thing medley, which I absolutely cannot stand playing. I'm Yours literally fills me with physical anger any time I hear it). I'm a professional, so I still try and play as well as I can regardless of my personal feelings of whatever song I'm doing. At one point during the song, he turns around with a huge smile on his face and says "dude, you sound really fucking good!"

    And I thought "shit... now there's no reason for him not to want to do more Reggae". >.<

    Usually you have to be a mega pothead to get it. I'm not a fan either, we get it pot and stuff now can we put away the steel drums and do something productive?

    Dominos website. I just want to see your specials and or coupons not register my address for your web service. I know where to get my pizza from i just don't know wtf you have. Also, your lack of a decent mobile option renders you all but useless to me most days.

    Got kicked off of Facebook for the second time in a week over this real name bullshit. I can give them the documentation they need, since I ACTUALLY USE MY FUCKING NAME. Still, frustrating. I use Facebook to a huge degree. Waiting + this whole stupid fucking process sucks.

    Also, work, which I love, but I've been gone for 5 days or so due to visiting my sick grandmother and I have a TON on my plate. All of our remote employees (about 30 of em) are in in the city for the week and as the person who does most of the office maintenance/inventory/dishes I'm running around and I have a ton of resume rejections to do and I'll be here til who knows when tonight. It's 9:30pm right nowish.

    I also have a bunch of non-day job work to do in the next couple of days AND I'm applying for a higher position at my company after speaking with supervisors AND I misplaced something super valuable earlier and tore my desk apart looking for it (found it) and AAAAH MY BRAIN

    I know this probably belongs in the Ferguson thread, but I'm going to rant instead about why I hate cable news. What really got me here is that the Rams thing "was the final straw". God forbid some social commentary makes you uncomfortable during your enjoyment of football, Joe. You know what would have happened if Walter Kronkite or Howard Cosell went on a tear about the black Olympians in '68 raising their fists in Mexico? They'd look like hateful old white men, instead of the professionals that they were. Empty fucking suits and nothing more. And it is empty suits like Scarborough and Hannity that make me despair other fellow white males who take their word for gospel, and a big reason why I cut the cable. If even a quarter of my money goes in their pocket because I was dumb enough to get the whole cable package on Comcast, I'd deserve to lose a little sleep over knowing I was being a part of the problem, even if my portion was a dust speck on the dying carcass that's the American dream.

    For what it's worth, I'm not saying I'm some expert on the issue of Ferguson or race relations in America currently. I've not followed it as closely as some people I do know, specifically a friend in St. Louis who has attended some of the protests. I guess I'm just pissed off at the state of television news now. It's mostly sound and fury signifying nothing, though I'll admit it's not all empty suits but it seems like they are the majority. To me anyway.

    Facts are irrelevant in the minds of modern protesters, so chicken hawks like Sharpton swoop in with hate and regurgitate willful ignorance into their mouth. Race is only an issue in the minds of those who can't let go of the past, whereas the majority of Americans imo have moved on. I hate, HATE, people like Sharpton and Holder who make a living feeding the stupidity of low info voters with lies about the injustices of their plight. lol, voters? Yeah right, like they've ever voted a day in their pathetic lives.
