4. "Them Hayfever Days Are Killer Days" In response to Reply # 0
I use to get them all the time, now I get them maybe once a year but before I use to have them at least once every few months.
Having a runny nose so much since I was a kid taught me to always have tissue on hand, in your backpack, in your room, locker, car, etc. what have you, and make sure to not blow your nose near women.
I hate having a great day beforehand and then you wake up the next morning sneezing for hours, and it making you feel so weak you can't even do much but go back to sleep.
Also I use to keep dayquil, alka-seltzer cold & flu, etc. on hand as well.

and sometimes you keep trying and still don't find it. This? No, not really feeling it. This? That? This? You keep trying, and then you finally give up. Grmbl
With food, sometimes you just eat everything you bought : some chips, bit of chicken, chocolate, bit of cheese, some coke... yada yada, burp.

"Hey...as an FYI"
Once you start speaking ( and giving details) , you have officially made it *Information*.
"Excuse me, I have an announcement to make"
see above. Just make the announcement. Because what you're doing is making an announcement about having to make an announcement. If anything, just say "Can I have everyone's attention?"
"ATM Machine/PIN Number"
Drives me nuts. Automatic Teller Machine. Personal Identification Number. You're not going to the 'automatic teller machine machine' and entering your personal identification number number', are you?
and the incorrect use of "literally".
Literally means that thing actually happened. So no. You didn't *literally* die laughing. Unless you actually died laughing. In which case, it would be impossible for you to tell us the story about how you died laughing.

I'm the official "How does this sound?" guy in my family.
I helped my friend get her Masters by helping her write and proofread all those long ass papers. I often joke (not really) that I might as well say it's mine.
Oh, and don't try to diss me by using improper grammar or poorly written emails, etc. It won't end well.

you turn the corner, and there's an obstruction : they're working on the sidewalk so you can't continue, so you cross the street, and a couple of meters later, you realise, they're working on that sidewalk too!!

23. "police "woop-woop" field recorded in stereo and used in a radio ad" In response to Reply # 9
Regular ass siren noises I can figure out as being part of an ad, but when a muhfucka records it standing in front of a police car using a stereo mic pair, and uses THAT in a radio commercial???
I remember an ad like that a few years ago. The ad started out with the "woop-woop" and then the voiceover talmbout riding around with expired insurance or some shit. It was so startlingly real every time it played you could look around and see half the drivers in traffic looking around for cops. Even the radio DJ's had something to say about it.

Can't tell you how many times I got spooked 'cause a used cop car with the spotlight got up behind me.

25. "when you pull up to a 4-way stop sign intersection....." In response to Reply # 24
at about the same time as another driver and they motion their hand from one side to the other instructing you to go. I personally raise my hand in that situation telling the other driver "I yield to you". I find it rude to tell other people what to do....
people in grocery/retail stores who walk slow as fuck in the center of the aisle instead of to the right or left....
dudes at the gym who use two workout machines simultaneously leaving their water bottle/gym towel/backpack on the other machine so nobody else can use it. then if you try to get on one of the machines they tell you to hold up because they have more sets left to do....

28. "ppl that ask u questions during a debate + interrupt after your first se..." In response to Reply # 0 Sun Nov-27-16 10:53 PM by 2.tears.in.a.bucket
shit is maddening.
same ones that ALWAYS wanna debate be wrong AF + applying hood-logic to everything
i have learned to just let dumb comments hang in the air like a hot ass fart
29. "People that interrupt your story with tangential questions" In response to Reply # 0
So many that you have to pause your story and address them all...
This is happened recently:
Me: So I finally said fuck it and got a medical marijuana card. Should've done it ages ago. Friend: So what did you have to do to get it? Me: It was easy. I just --- Friend: So did you need a california ID? No wait, I know you still have a Texas ID. But you live there, so that means you couldn't vote. Why didn't you want to vote??? Me: You don't need a California ID to get one. You don't need a California ID to register to vote there. Yes I voted.
I didn't even want to answer the original question cuz that shit exhausts me mentally having to jump over hurdles just to tell a minor anecdote. When I get interrupted now I don't ever go back and finish a story unless someone prompts me like "Oh so you were saying..". It's crazy how many times people interrupt a mid-story/anecdote/thought and then not even bother with letting the person go on and finish.
Shit like that annoys the FUCK outta me but I guess it also helps me be mindful of avoiding doing it to others.

asking directions or the time is cool. But if you see I'm listening to music, PLEASE stop trying to have a conversation. I've even made the big production out of pulling out my earbuds and acting annoyed. Some people STILL don't get it.

we have a few breaks at my gig. Why do people wait until that break to ask me for shit?
for 3 hours they haven't ask me for anything but as soon as I go chill somewhere or take a walk outside people start searching for me.

54. "especially about themselves." In response to Reply # 50
A friend of mine does that. EVERY comment in our conversation somehow gets steered back to her talking about her boring ass job. ( Well, in the hands of another person, it would probably be a cool job. She's kinda lame though.)
I had one friend who'd feed me cigarettes just to keep talking about themselves.
another co-worker got it so bad, I emailed my boy to call my desk so I could get out of it (she's having HELLA family problems but after awhile I just couldn't do it no mo).

56. "ground floor... guy who presses the already-lit up elevator button" In response to Reply # 0
and then gives you that stupid look. i already pressed it --- the elevator ain't coming faster, bro.
- stuck behind a prius or a forrester doing 55 on the freeway... the second lane from the fast lane. it's california... get out the way.
- younger colleagues who put in earbuds just to walk from their desk to the bathroom and back. hey chelsea from wisconsin, you can't walk 30 feet w/out listening to music, or you just don't wanna talk to anyone?
- guy in the crowded subway who would rather stay buried with double-fists in his phone, instead of using one hand to grab a handle or strap.... thereby stumbling all over the place and bumping into me, holding up the flow of people. this is same guy who guy wears a backpack in a crowded train instead of putting it on the floor.
>- guy in the crowded subway who would rather stay buried with >double-fists in his phone, instead of using one hand to grab a >handle or strap.... thereby stumbling all over the place and >bumping into me, holding up the flow of people.
and not apologizing.
this is same >guy who guy wears a backpack in a crowded train instead of >putting it on the floor. >
Ennh, I do that. But I stand outta the way. It's more dangerous to sit it on the floor, especially during the rush. I wouldn't want anybody to trip over it.
75. "Bruh, I've taken to shoving backpack wearing dudes out of the way" In response to Reply # 73
At first because I wasn't having my son getting hit in the face by some dickhead's backpack, but I continued because usually any dude wearing a big-ass backpack on the subway isn't going to say shit when I put a hand on the back of his pack and push.
Wearing backpacks in elevators is a douche move too.
76. "you posted as if you're in a train half-full" In response to Reply # 73
>Ennh, I do that. But I stand outta the way. It's more >dangerous to sit it on the floor, especially during the rush.
that's the thing --- it's a packed train. sardines. there's nowhere for anyone to just stand outta the way. so we're invariably left with some dipshit who turns around bumping into someone.
a few years ago i was sitting down and someone standing up turned and hit me in the face. had to push his ass back like "wtf, kid?". and don't get me started on the hipsters with the big ass camping backpacks on like they're doing the four-day trek up to machu picchu.
they've even starting posting signs in BART to put backpacks on the ground during rush hour.
>I wouldn't want anybody to trip over it.
my backpack's on the ground, between my legs. so no one's tripping over it. plus, no one's really leaving the train until it gets to the first stop in san francisco (coming from the east bay). and when the train pulls in, i just pick it up and adjust to let people by me.
when i've ridden the train in chicago and new york, people seem to have way more commuter etiquette than the bay area.

Yup. and they sit their bags on the empty seat. Put that shit in your lap. I need to sit down.
>when i've ridden the train in chicago and new york, people >seem to have way more commuter etiquette than the bay area.
Yeah. Aside from students ( who are stupid, ironically enough ), people here know when to move, etc.
65. "When a MFer is slyly trying to box you out to get on public transit 1st" In response to Reply # 0 Wed Nov-30-16 06:58 PM by dustin
I take the train every day and there's always some white lady who rushes to stand by the door first and box out everyone else as if she's going for a rebound or something. But that lady ALWAYS plays it off like no one can see what she is doing.
We all know lady. You aint slick. I hope you get on first but all the seats are taken already.
