13085846, Stuff thats gets you super mad - for no good reason
Posted by handle, Mon Oct-24-16 10:42 PM
I hate when I order something from Amazon and it says it'll arrive by Monday at 8pm. So you wait around the house and its says it'll be there by 8pm at 12pm, and at 4pm, and a 7pm, then changes at 7:50pm to "Arriving between Tuesday and Friday."

I *always*, I mean ALWAYS return it to Amazon immediately and buy it elsewhere.

They can eat the fucking shipping cost - I hate them so much.

13085858, parking too close on my drivers side
Posted by beatnik, Tue Oct-25-16 01:07 AM
or too close in general

I seriously want to fight people when they do that ish, all my neighbors are either drunk drivers or can't manage to get they kids out the car without a "shut the fuck up", or too fat and stupid to realize if they park too close to a parked car it makes it harder to open the door wide enough to get out their own car, and don't seem to understand their car should be equidistant to the white lines on both sides.

it's just good manners.

13085868, Everything on a site that gets in the way of content
Posted by KingMonte, Tue Oct-25-16 05:28 AM
Like when a website moves or covers content for ads - while I'm reading.
Commercials instead of the video I want to see.
When you can't fast forward when watching on demand.

All of these things make me abandon what I'm doing. ANGER.

I'm curious if these advertisers even get a tangible return from that bullshit. Because like you, these ads have the opposite effect on me. Instead of "ohh that looks nice I should buy" (which I imagine is what the advertisers spend all that money hoping for) my reaction is "FUCK THIS FUCKING SITE I WILL NEVER RETURN". Of course I ultimately do but my point is I never even take the time to check what the ad is for because I'm too busy flipping out and clicking the X furiously.

13085990, I hate videos that start automatically on webpages
Posted by tha_scientist, Tue Oct-25-16 10:49 AM
I often open articles in multiple tabs so I hate when a video starts playing automatically and I have to click through the tabs to find in which tab the video is playing.
13086356, the worst.

NYT has a good workaround of a GIF that loads automatically, and click it for the video. more websites should do that.
13086257, ALL OF THIS
Posted by Eric B Is Prez, Tue Oct-25-16 04:13 PM
I swear to god- when you want to read an article, and after the first sentence the text jumps down to make room for a video...then it jumps back up to make room for a footer ad. Then the text re-formats to make room for a sidebar ad. You can't even read the fucking thing. I just leave the page because it's too frustrating, which defeats the whole purpose of their ads in the first place.

That, and news sites that post a print article and auto-play a video after the page loads. Why do they assume I want to watch a video? FOH
13085874, Long lines that move really-slow at the market

Bonus anger if there are no self checkout lanes, or (even worse) you have people using the self lanes all wrong: asking questions, having more than 20 or so things, don't know how to scan, etc.

Posted by wluv, Tue Oct-25-16 07:26 AM
person leaving, knowing they have a good parking spot, sees you pull up waiting for them to leave while they are getting in the car so they take their time adjusting everything from their mirrors to picking their nose. Then they take an extra minute to put their hand in a bag in the backseat for no good reason other than to piss u off. Then JUST as another spot just as close opens up, they pull off quickly as if to let u know how much of an asshole they were but u will never see them again so u will never have a chance to cuss them out.

This happened to me yesterday at the Mall and i irrationally wanted to choke this person out.
13085890, People who stop in front of me waiting for a parking spot to open up.
Posted by Monkey Genius, Tue Oct-25-16 08:22 AM
When it's clearly not opening up anytime soon. MOVE ON.

It's more selfish than the legitimately parked person taking whatever time they want in their legitimate parking spot.

Move on so the rest of us behind you can move too. Thanks.
13085894, In parking lots... doesn't bother me at all. Just leave space for me
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Oct-25-16 08:41 AM
to drive around you while you wait.

People who drive down the middle of parking lots and block traffic can eat a dick.

Also hate people who walk in the middle of the parking lot like it's a sidewalk... especially when they have little kids.
13085928, They gotta stay near the middle, though, to make the swing into the spot.
Posted by Monkey Genius, Tue Oct-25-16 09:29 AM
So usually, no, ain't no way around them. Especially in those slender ass parking decks.

I ain't saying don't wait. But, if it clearly ain't happening in a reasonable time frame, you become the asshole too by sitting there.
13086089, well i never do that
Posted by wluv, Tue Oct-25-16 12:43 PM
thats immature to try to hold up everyone behind you.

im just trying to park, get in, shop, and leave.

nobody got time to orchestrate a traffic jam in a parking lot when theyre 7 lanes of parking all around.

I am not even a Jay-Z stand but the hateration was soo thick in this joint.

Mainly Jaz-0 interviews and Dame Dash point of view.

The biggest take away is that Jay-Z has changed from his days in the hood and that he'll drop dudes when he doesn't have any use for them.
