stuff that pisses you off
 

the title speaks for itself.

i hate it when people call me for no reason ("just cause i was bored" or "i don't know" or "no reason"), just to talk or whatever when these people who call me know damn well that i hate talking on the phone, yet they insist on wasting my precious time (which i can do pretty well unassisted) and tying up my hands (and my phone line in case someone needs to call me for something important or worthwhile). I DO NOT EXIST FOR YOUR PERSONAL ENTERTAINMENT.

my new boss. he's old and corny, and is trying to change the way everything has been done for the past year. i hate change. especially the kind he wants... they don't pay us enough for that shit. imma slash his tires one of these days... maybe some sugar in his gas tank.

Drugs that make you tired but unable to fall asleep. What the fuck!

Do you get this one often? :D

whiney people at my work bug me. i have to work 10 hours on xmas every year (i actually worked 18 hours last year) bugs me more.

when people leave their drugs at my house

Earlier this year I was getting tons of calls from this guy who had some kind of crush on me (the feeling was not mutual) and I would deliberately ignore them. When I checked my voicemail, it would say things like, "Hey Becky, this is [first name] [last name], I guess you left your phone in your car again because I've been trying to get ahold of you all day and you haven't picked up yet. [drawn out silence] I don't know what else to say....maybe you should keep your phone with you. [more silence] By the way, you are going to have a few more of these messages because this is my fifth one...I don't know why....I guess I was just bored. [deep sigh] Anyway, give me a call if you want to see a movie or something. Well I guess I'll hang up now. If you don't call me back I'll just see you tomorrow at school. Bye."

I've known this person since high school, and he still feels the need to identify himself by his first and last name? Pick one or the other for godssake.

And am I the only person who, when leaving someone a voicemail, does not feel the need to include their entire fucking life story? Seriously, an example:

"Hey, it's Becky, call me back."

stuff.

Unreturned e-mails. Especially from people I know well, or are supposed to correspond with me regularly for official business. I myself have a 24-hour rule, where I return all e-mails within 24 hours, even if it's just to say, hey, got your note, can't answer yet but I'll get back to you.

I'm not talking about casual social e-mails or spam, but stuff regarding work or important personal business. It drives me nuts when editors I work for, for example, won't answer a simple inquiry about the detail of an assignment I'm working on, or an interview subject won't get back for days to set up an appointment.

I know many people don't work on their computers as much as I do during the day, and I know they're not just hanging around waiting for my messages. At the same time, in this day and age when electronic communication is so big a part of the business I'm in, it floors me when people don't respond in a reasonably timely manner.

I beg to differ. Where can I reach you? Let's explore this idea further.

I hate walking to the gas bar to find that the owner is there (I can't buy smokes if he is)

I hate when people keep asking me what I can't to do and I say that I honestly don't give a shit, that I'll do whatever and they continue to ask me. I don't fucking care man.
I just hate when people ask me the same question more than two times. Two times is okay cause sometimes people forget or can't hear.

I hate when people doing nothing tell me to get busy

My best friends boy friend pissed me off. They're just not good for each other at all anymore and I don't get why she stays with him. She even said she's only still with him because she doesn't want him to feel like a failure. He treats her like crap though.

I really hate when people expect me to call them all the time when they never call me. I have this one friend that I would probably never hang out with if I didn't call her. She doesn't not like me either, she's just half retarded or something.

I could go on and on...

I'm actually trying not to let the world piss me off anymore. I mean, sure, stuff's going to piss me off, there's always going to be stuff I don't like. But I've decided to adopt a cooler attitude about it. The stuff that's not supposed to happen happens; what happens next is up to me. I can accept it for what it is, deal with it calmly, and go on, or struggle and get stuck in it. Which is the saner attitude, do you think.

when people think i'm some sort of relationship doctor.

I hate that. Do you actually listen to you or do they ignore everything you say?
I had this friend once who wasn't happy in her relationship, and she'd always ask me, "Emma, what should I do?" When I finally told her what I thought she should do she got super pissed and told me to mind my own business haha.

xmas

now that i'm sober...


things that piss me off:
psuedoactivisthippies

i've been hooking up with this girl for a couple of days
i told her i was going to make it monsoon on her and buy her a fur coat
she got mad offended that i would even joke about fur coats

What a bitch? I'd be all up on somebody who's gonna buy me a fur coat.

postmodernism.
particularly postmod feminism.
it. sucks. ass.



you may find me running amok in manhattan, los angeles, stl, or manchester at any given time. i'd love to narrow it down for you but i fear for the safety of my records.

i always identify myself with both of my names, no matter if it's someone i've known my whole life. to paraphrase, if you go to have lunch with the lone ranger, you don't want him to say to you "just call me mike", you want to say "pass me the salt, lone ranger". i'm like that.

i'm pissed that i have been whacked on dex and antibiotics for like a week, haven't got a chance to do anything or care to do anything and that, when i get back to going out, smoking is going to be banned from all indoor places.

ohh yeah, tell me about it; "what the fuck? didn't we talked about this, you were going to do x" "yeah, but i can't really do that, so i'll stick to being miserable and ignore your advice".

but your friend is nuts, emmah.

STRESS.
not knowing what do do about a bad situation.
people i don't know very well doing speedballs in my apartment when i'm not home. holy shit. yeah.
cops. especially smug cops.
barking dogs.
people who put their children on a leash.
people who walk too slow.
idiot tourists who hold me up in line when i'm getting my coffee because they don't know how to order a fucking coffee and pay and get the fuck out.
extremely cold weather.
idiot tourists who don't know how to fold the newspaper correctly so they can read it on the subway without it getting all up in my shit.

How the cost of public transport keeps increasing.
How most young people I know are unable to manage their money and time.
People always wanting to be on the door/ trying to sneak into local shows.

i feel the exact same way

People that stop after stepping off of an escalator.

When you're coming out of the subway station and there's a crowd around and behind you and you're going up the stairs and the person in front of you stops and looks around. Vacate the fucking stairway area please, asshole!!

People that walk on an NYC sidewalk abreast of their friend thus taking up the whole fucking sidewalk.

People that walk like they have NOWHERE to go. Some of us work or are trying to go somewhere, crackhead!!

People that walk their dogs off of the leash on a public street.

Yellow Cabs

NYC Buses

Gypsy Cabs.

People that feel like it is their privileged right to break the law. For example - someone is riding their motorcycle with no license, no insurance, and parks it on the sidewalk in front of fucking Macy's and then complains that a cop was harassing him...

Litterbug smokers - open the pack, drop the cellophane, drop the foil from inside the pack. Light the cigarette, drop the match. Flick the ash wherever, get to the butt, flick the butt. Finish the pack, toss the pack...ASSHOLE - pick up your fucking trash!!!

things that piss Rob Instigator off

people who mispronounce NUCLEAR as "Nuke-Ular"

ALITERATE people. Peopl who know how to read but choose not to read anything and say things like "Oh man I have not read a book since school" half-proudly, like it is fucking cool to be an ignorant waste of life fuck.

people who think that if a band is not hugely popular then it must be no good.

People who think because a band is very obscure and non-popular that it MUST BE good.

people driving large pick up trucks or SUV's that slow down to a crawl as they are entering a parking lot, driving their fucking "rugged" vehicles like a fucking old lady going to church.

people who, at karaoke nights, HAVE TO sing Total Eclipse of The Heart. what a fuckingh long and boring shit song.

kids who say they love punk rock but have never bothered to go listen to some dead kennedy's, minor threat, or FEAR.

Guys who think the only sexy female is a rail thin, hairless, vapid blonde with a body that looks like a 16 year old boy.

each and every bit of mis-information, propaganda, hyperbole, and fear-mongering levelled upon us by our media/politicians.

I HEAR YOU!!! People who walk slowly, stopping right in the middle of the pavement or wandering around looking like they don't know what they are doing or where they are going piss me off too. I am not a fan of crowded streets, therefore I try to avoid touristy places as much as I can. Queues are another thing that I dread, especially when someone has been waiting in a line for 10 minutes, and all they did was chatting on their mobile phone without thinking that they would be a much less irritating human being if they FUCKING GOT THEIR WALLET OUT OF THE BAG FIRST!!! DAMNIT!!

Things that Piss me off on a day to day basis

1) Those TV screens that they have put in trains, their news section is always about 3 days out of date and its so loud that i can't heard my music very well so i end up moving to the "Quiet Section" where of course i get scowled at for listening to music on my ipod.

2) when its raining outside the air is really hot, so you are wearing hoods and layers to stay dry, but you end up getting so hot under all those clothes, plus you are walking faster than usual because you want to get out of the rain, So by the time you arrive at your destination you are sweating. And of course your destination is hot as there are radiators on everywhere, so you get even hotter.

3) Unless you roll your trousers up or put them inside your boots they will drag on the floor and get wet and covered in leaves and dirt and stuff.

jeez for a few moments I thought this was me posting under a different name.

Yeah who said it was permissable to stand in the subway stairs talking on your cell phone? I want to smash those people so badly. Its like the people who are in such a rush to exit a store but wing out of the door without looking pushing in front of you so then they can immediately come to a complete stop and check their cell phone.

Its not that I hate or want to kill them, its a different dynamic in that I just simply want them to not exist.

Today, for unknown reasons, the price of a Filet-O-Fish at McDonalds went from $2.80 to $2.91 (tax included). This means that when I get my change back, I no longer have two dimes, but rather a nickel and four pennies, which is quite obnoxious. Hopefully they will change it back.

But they are just soooo goooood.

at the moment its people i dont know saying "have a fucking drink" and when i say no they say "wat u a pussy or something", and i dont feel like telling this stranger that im in a program.

and final exams.

Nonsensical lyrics about weed. Boring!

I can't stand people that talk behind other peoples backs. Almost everyone at my work has something nasty to say about someone else when they're not around. Last week was the final straw. It happened again on one of our coffee breaks and I basically looked up and told all the back stabbing cunts that they had no balls and couldn't be trusted.
"If you say that about John when he's not around, what do you say about me when I'm not here?"
Silence filled the room.

Crying fucking kids & wanna be gang bangers!!!

I hate learning science in school. Not that I'm against the subject but I want to learn what I want to learn.
People who need to stop drinking
People who avoid learning to do what is best for them
People who ask question after question
The kid in my class who shaved his eyebrows off

when my brothers girlfriend says "tee hee" (she always does)

when posters fall off my wall
when dogs bark at the wrong time
waking up past noon
people who constantly say "like" every 3 words

I hate these things too, only I hate it when anyone says "tee hee"


I love waking up past noon and am guilty of saying like quite often. I even write it here sometimes.

- People that conform to the conventional "man" or "woman" persona because society tells them to be that way
- Glamour, Seventeen, Cosmogirl, and Guitar World magazines
- "Everything EXCEPT rap or country"
- Pompous music assholes, despite the fact that I used to be this way
- The amount of cars on the road at rush hour....with one person in them.

I know the feeling. I'm holding onto my big 12-inch...
records.

Yuk yuk...
