Five minutes ago I was getting milk from the shop. I went back into my car, checked my left-hand mirror- street was empty. Turned on my left indicator, turned wheel the full way, let go of handbrake, lifted foot off clutch- street was empty. Put my foot down on the accelerator and slowly started nudging out, checked mirror again- street was empty. Looked over left shoulder and continued nudging out- street was empty.

I go to cross over to the left-hand side of the road to continue driving- SOME MOTHER FUCKING CAR ZOOMS RIGHT PAST ME, LITERALLY A 1/4 OF A FOOT FROM WHERE MY CAR WAS!

 

Jesus and the speed they were going at, they would have done some serious damage to their car, themselves and most likely me. God I know you might want to make some stupid insurance claim but would it really be worth, potentially paralysing or even killing yourself for? Anyways they didn’t hit me, I beeped the horn, stuck the middle finger up at them, shouted “prick” (I believe it was) and watched said-prick drive off.

All of the pedestrians around me just looked in a “what the hell just happened kind of way….?” and I just drove it off, mumbling curses under my breath

@AppleScruffJunior I hate drivers that do things like that.  One time this kid actually hit me in the middle of a turn.  Thankfully it was a turn so it didn’t really cause any damage since our cars weren’t moving fast, but our cars did make contact.

Same here, @Starr Shine? . Slowpokes are just as much a menace as speeders. Especially when they set up camp in the passing lane and won’t get over.

I absolutely hate it when people push coffee tables right up against their couches.a-hard-days-night-paul-10Where am I supposed to put my legs?  It’s not a problem if you’re laying down on the couch, but since most people usually aren’t why do it?

I also hate how when iTunes sorts your artists, it does it in alphabetical order by first name.  I get why it happens, because you wouldn’t want a band like Led Zeppelin filed under Z.  But couldn’t they just have a little box for artist’s first name and last name?

Well, there is a way to fix that, but it would take a lot of work if you have a lot of music.

This is how. 

Change (or Fix) The Sorting Order On Your iTunes

 

It’s a guide from 2011 for Mac, but, to my knowledge, it’s exactly the same process on a PC in 2016.

So, for instance, if you wanted John Lennon filed under L, you would change the sorting name to “Lennon, John.”

At home I try to fix this by putting an extra roll behind the toilet, but then I just end up coveting to replace the extra roll.

From to time I think about starting a campaign for people to leave the toilet paper hanging down just below the level of the stall wall so that if the person in the next stall finds that their stall is out of paper, they can reach down and at least get some paper…hopefully, if it is strong enough and come off easily.

Here’s a new one pertaining to advertising. Specifically to food advertising. 

I’m tired of seeing food advertising with vague words that don’t actually mean anything. And it seems to be getting more and more common. The following words I am tired of seeing in food/restaurant advertising:

-“Real”

-“Clean”

-“Natural”

These three words mean exactly nothing in the context that they are usually used. I’d say that this is really condescending of advertisers, but, unfortunately, there are a bunch of idiots out there who eat this crap up. (Pun intended.)

In that context aren’t real and natural the same.

@Necko I also hate that.  Especially when they attach these fake words to food just to sell more product.  I once saw bananas labeled as ‘gluten-free’, even though they are already naturally free of gluten.a-hard-days-night-john-7

Also, thanks for that iTunes tip, you really helped me out there.john-lennon-salute_gifI now have one less pet peeve…

I know we’ve mentioned idiotic food labelling laws before, but:

OMG my Peanut Butter CONTAINS PEANUTS

And yes, it’s in bold and capitals on the jar.

What I can’t stand is when food labels are misleading.

Like when a food that is naturally low in cholesterol says that it’s low cholesterol to make it seem like a health food.

When a food that naturally has zero gluten says it’s “Gluten Free” to pander to idiots.

When orange juice says that it’s non-GMO, even though genetically modified oranges currently don’t even exist in the first place.  There is literally a brand of water here in the U.S. that says “non-GMO” on the bottle.  Well, duh!  Water doesn’t have genes to begin with, dummy.

(Also, GMOs are safe, are not worth being afraid of, and there’s no point in avoiding them, but that’s beside the point.)

I said more-or-less the same thing several months ago in this post, limitlessundyinglove.
