start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

People who drive down the middle of the lane to minimize the impact of a speed bump, then continue driving down the middle after going over it, ignoring the oncoming traffic that y'know, needs their lane

People who write in the margins of library books. You are bad citizens. I'm thinking of one right now. No one cares what you think about various figures in Alex Ross's "The Rest is Noise". Use a notebook you self-centered cretin.

xp - my condolences, spacecadet, that sounds like the absolute worst >:[

People who drink soda for breakfast and/or while eating donuts.

You deserve the unpleasantness of your anger on that one IMO. Diet Coke is a very fine alternative to coffee.

Then he carved his thoughts on the tree for everybody to see.

Wait that's Joe Orton! Nice move, but I'd differentiate between spirited vandalism and pedantic margin splodge.

Coke is a great breakfast beverage, although I'd pair it with something salty

People who drink soda for breakfast and/or while eating donuts.

I think this is fabulously in the spirit of this thread.

(RFI: where on ILX is the best to-have-or-not-to-have-kids discussion?)

let me know so i can spew my hatred of children all over this piece

lovely, thanks

your childless loafing should afford you plenty of time to try the search function

where on ILX is the best to-have-or-not-to-have-kids discussion?

This thread may or may not be the "best", but it went to some length on the subject.

people with kids assuming the childless are loafing or not busy

thx Aimless, this one is good too. prefer your link because it opens (in my case anyway) to this post:

my kid is great. dunno about other people's kids.

people being defensive about their childlessness/projecting what people with children think about them (or that they even give them much thought)

was intended to troll nhex, nothing more

Friends, friends let's turn our irrational anger away from each other and back to the stupid, terrible world at large.

hear hear!!

For some reason every time I see the name "Father John Misty" I want to roll my eyes until they fall out. Something about that name and his public image of some nth-gen folk version of a Jim Morrison ripoff gets on my nerves.

Also people calling themselves a shaman. Just please, stop.

Maybe it's evoking bad memories from a Fleet Foxes-loving ex-roommate who was really into ukulele and wearing suspenders with everything.

Would never cast aspersions on anyone else but since having a baby I've felt really shocked when I think about what I used to do with all my free time and am kind of mad that I don't speak five languages, play several instruments, and have multiple advanced degrees.

yup

Probably has been said before ITT, but every goddamn site now wanting all of your facebook or personal profile info so you can post a stupid comment on an article. Not to mention all the different things like disqus where you have to set up and remember logins for something you use like once every three months.

Probably for the best as it just discourages me from posting pointless comments on articles.

Kroger wanting me to change my password every three months.

No, that's ok, Kroger. If hackers seize my account and delete my shopping list, it will still have been worth it to not have to change my password four times a year.

omg yes. Or really any service that requires you log in with Facebook.

Holy shit, Kroger! That's bananas. I am resentful enough that I have to change my work network password every three months. No way I would do that with any other webiste. xp

cosign adam bruneau's comments

I don't have a cellphone, but I can use wi-fi. I parked in front of a Books A' Million, and they had the audacity to say I either had to pay for wi-fi or sign in with Facebook. Made me quite IA.

IA about the name "Books A' Million". what does it even mean?

The Books A Millions in Chicago are all garbage, too. I don't understand how they continue to exist when Borders/Barnes and Noble went tits up.

Same reason cockroaches survive?

They are like the Radio Shack of bookstores. You can't ever find what you want. Nothing seems to be sorted correctly. You have to tango with the cashier for five minutes over their little book club before you can actually make a purchase. And, don't forget, you can still buy one of these things for $100.

The ones in Chicago, at least the last time I bothered to go in, had a dearth of general interest magazines but a surprising selection of porn. So that probably answers my previous question.

Same thing I wonder about airport bookstores: Who the hell is buying porn at these places.

Uh...

Hey, 95 years pretty good for a cockroach.

spotify's gross rerecorded versions of popular songs that are not tagged as rerecordings & masquerade as the real deal ughhhhhhh

Oh man the college bookstore here has some cheapo radio station that just plays cover versions of popular songs to save money and it's just the worst.

Have I posted about DIY chain B&Q itt? Because they also have that and I have an eye-twitch thanks to it.
It's a really odd selection of songs too, on a loop

I have spent a lot of time in B&Q :(

LOL that used to happen a bit on emusic back in the day. Artists that basically didnt have any licencing agreements with emusic would only appear on these DODGY Cleopatra compilations or whatever with a shitty live version or someone else covering the song.

Once in a while I used to get fooled by an artist rerecording on cd or tape, usually some oldies band I didn't really know anything about.

people swiping their tablets

or whatever it's called, the big flourish as they turn a page or w/e

while i'm here, i love being able to sit around and not do shit while the rest of you deal with your children

cool
