Shit that annoys you

[bendtheski]

so to put it simply, it annoys you when someone has a nicer bike computer than you???

No; a better watch strapped to their handlebar. Try and keep up.

Oh wait, you thought I was referring to myself as a performance athlete. Now that's funny!

First person "Go-Pro" views.

I'd much rather see a skier from a different point of view.

clicking on the bikini cutie patagonia ad... and getting directed to their catalog page of stinky hoodies and dudes with dreads.

holy FUCK. Fucking cunty neighbours next door set up an outside tv. She has all her 50 sumthing friends over and watches desperate housewives and sex and the city reruns until 11. Hard to sleep with my fucking window open.

Hold on. You're what, 16 years old and you're trying to sleep at 11:00?

[Meadow Skipper]

I understand that for the elite level, but for everyone else it's not going to do anything except waste their time by obsessing over the latest stats.

So it annoys you that other people waste their time? I should say, doing what you think is a waste of their time?

[TomCrac]

People that make their own "kick me" signs, wear them proudly, then get pissed when people kick them.

[booner]

people that can't handle/manage their alcohol

every year I drink less because I just don't wanna be around these jerk offs anymore

thank god for the pot

If I'm not doing anything that night, yeah-sleep is awesome.

I was at a party once a girl drank so much she fainted, and we had to call an ambulance and scramble, they pumped her stomach at the hospital. That's alcoholic territory...

"a girl"....right. When you woke up in the hospital, did your butt hurt? PM digitaldeath, he'll explain it

Isn't that the basis for this whole thread? Things others do that annoy you? Honestly nothing really annoys me anymore, I find that I'm way more tolerant as I get older.
So in the context of this thread things may annoy me but not in real life. Wear jewelry, cologne and use a HRM, I don't really care.

Well, it's also about the value judgements we make about other people based on what annoys them.

When people equate friendship with someone doing work cheaply for them.

Hey pal, I don't really have the money to pay a wedding videographer, do you think you could do it?

[Ottime]

Guys who adhere to the laws of vanity, in general.

Also the words surreal and irregardless

One of those is not a word.

Douchebag bro brah dads. This morning my son was lapping the pump track behind the farmers market on his balance bike. He pretty much kills it for a 3 year old. He had the track alone and the two boys (about 8 & 10) an their dad show up. The boys are super aware of my guy and even comment on his skills. Dad is not aware of much. Including how to buckle a helmet or listening to his kid when he is told to do so. He then proceeds to speed down the track yelling "watch out" as he over takes my son. I get of my perch to hang out in the middle of te track and watch things unfold. Da then turns to me, points to the small side track, and says maybe my son should ride over there. I then say perhaps we can talk turns an teach patience. My guy is good at waiting in line until the track clears and allows the boys and dad take multiple laps. He then goes. Before my son is 1/2 around the track, dad starts going. I can here his son tell him to wait his turn, but this guy is clueless.

Hell, my dude has shared this track with 4 rippers and 4 other teens with no problem. Dad can't seem to wait even 90 seconds for a 3 year old to complete a lap. And his form was shit. His kids were super cool, so I'm guess they must live with their mom.

Oh, man. Seriously. Just like so many of my friends and family apparently think I'm Dell/HP/Apple tech support or something. See a phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in years and get excited to catch up with them again, but then they're like "Sooooo, my computers doing this thing..." Screw you, man. Call me sometime when you DON'T need a favor.

Speaking of which, people who only call when they need something seriously annoy me. Not even a six-pack in exchange for my many hours of work getting their pos ancient, virus riddled computer going again? Not cool. Many evenings completely up in smoke helping these "friends." I've learned to just say, "Sorry, I don't have time (I really don't). Try calling tech support or at least look up your problem on teh googlz." Or when loyal Appleists come looking to me for help. "Sorry, bub. I don't own a mac. Can't help ya there. Besides, you're the one who was bragging to me how macbooks are ssssooooooo far superior to PCs." Funny how many friends have asked me to help them with their crashed macs that the warranty just ran out on.

Well, it does sound like you're a nerd....

Indeed I am. But it's just like when a person's handy with a car, people want them to fix their cars for free (with nothing in return), or when people learn that a friend can bake halfway decent, they want them to spend days making their wedding/anniverary/bday/bat mitvah cakes, the list goes on and on.

People learn a friend is halfway good at something, and they so often try and take advantage of that skill. "Hey, buddy. There's a reason some of these services normally cost a lot of money." I think most of us have dealt with these sorts of mooching "friends" before in one way or another. Funny thing is it's never been true (and current), close friends who have done this to me. But then again, for those true, close friends, I'll gladly offer to lend them a hand without hesitation.

Bingo!

I'm doing a music video for a friend for nothing because it benefits me and it's fun. Future work. He asked and positioned it this way because he gets it.

I had a girl from my work ask me to film her fucking wedding. I have spoken maybe 50 words to her ever the last two years and she expects me to travel and shoot that shit for nothing. BLOW ME PEOPLE. And you dumb ass idiots that do shoot video and photos for friends for free... you're perpetuating this ridiculousness.

As I posted on facebook about this... you don't work on your days off for 10% do you? Nope. Then why expect us to?

And speaking of facebook, two of the people that responded were a car guy and IT guy. I think they have it far worse than me.

A lot of the wedding photographer friends are wanna be photographer hacks looking for experience and the couple getting married ends up with crappy pictures or important pictures missing because their friend has no experience and messes up.

That said, people getting married are needy fucks and think the world revolves around their "perfect day".

Its extra funny when its a second marriage. A person I knew years and years ago that is still on my facebook just got married for the second time and it was a constant stream of we need this, can someone do this, help with that, can I borrow this, this, and this...

[Hugh Conway]

how the wedding photograph industry has blossomed from a couple pictures that were in an album that was forgotten after a year to some narcissisttic fuckfest of dozens of important photos to annoy your family/realfriends/dubiousfriendsyoutrytoconintodoingshitforfree.

Midlife professionals marrying with lists of shit they've been too fucking cheap to buy themselves with their big salary

[shroom]

that was fucking spot on.

That's weird, our friends did it as a wedding gift, I tried to give my DJ money too but he wouldn't take it
