Shit that annoys you

[~mikey b]

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

Your wedding was so much better than everyone else's. Your wife is so lucky.

[~mikey b]

And you dumb ass idiots that do shoot video and photos for friends for free... you're perpetuating this ridiculousness.

And speaking of me.

If you had any actual friends you might see it differently.

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

Like I said, for true, close friends, I will offer to help them preemptively, just like your friends. They obviously like you enough to WANT to help you. It also helps that you didn't have the attitude of expecting their help. Heck, you even TRIED to pay your DJ!

It's the punks that come out of nowhere that piss me off. After 5 years of no contact, or an acquaintance you hardly know, they be like "Hey buddy. Old pal. So I hear you're pretty good at like computers/cars/videography/photography/(insert skill here) and stuff, right? Soooooo.....I'm getting married next week and I was hoping you could shoot it for us. It would mean so much to us for you to be there [o rly? mmhmm] and I hear yer so awesome with that stuff. But, you see the thing is we really don't have any money to pay you or anything, soooooooooo.........[insert awkward silence here]

For a real friend, I don't want or expect anything in return. But for somebody you hardly know or talk to anymore, it's amazing how much people expect others to hook them up without ANYTHING in exchange. Doesn't anybody know how to barter anymore at least? Like as in, "Hey, I'm sorry I don't have any money to pay you for helping me with my computer/car/wedding pics, but I can help you paint your house or mow your lawn/trim your trees/etc this summer. Here's a case of PBR as a down payment, or this unopened bottle of my fav bourbon I had." I don't think I've ever been offered so much as a single beer in exchange for otherwise expensive services. Except by true friends, of course, who ironically totally try to hook a brother up.

Agh, I see you're the type of asshole that expects 'friends' to work for them instead of enjoying the reception. Shocker.

Not to change the focus of this thread back to broad categories of shit that annoys you, but....

...adults that use hoola-hoops.

Are hot scantily clad hippie girls in their 20's technically adults?

Saw a chick at the beach this weekend hulahooping. I probably could have smelled her if I got near enough. What you're envisioning in your head is probably not too far off of the scene.

Sound guys. Never met one that wasn't a gigantic self-important douchebag.

Gas pumps that play commercials at me while dispensing gas. Jeebus, shut the fuck up and let me ogle refueling soccer moms in peace.

[t-the-east]

My wife when she is being a bitch

[~mikey b]

That.

Also...

Local gas station just got a new computer pay at the pump system. It actually works, so I shouldn't complain,

But

It fucking beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps and beeps

[whitekingsalmon]

kooks that say bro brah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,jaja

they probably post in threads like this one 100 times more than anybody else, too.

And then what!? I'm on the edge of my seat over here!

[~mikey b]

It keeps beeping.




But at least it pumps gas, which is better than the old system. It was quiet. And you waited. And nothing happened. Then you got to deal with the idiots in the store. And they MIGHT be able to help you.

Not a lot of choices for gas near me. Not worth driving 10 miles down the hill just to get gas.

Gas Stations that don't have Gas Station TV.

[~mikey b]

Yeah but I don't even watch tv at my house. Why would I want it at the gas station?

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?

Reminds me of these two outright gems:

NO!!!!!!

Speaking of beeping, the other night, the smoke alarm battery decides to die in the middle of the night, so it just starts beeping. Drives the dog crazy and I've got to get up on a ladder to unplug the damn thing, at 3am.

We had some kind of issue where all the fire alarms that were hardwired into the 120VAC power would randomly go off simultaneously. Replaced every one of them and they still did it. Ended up shitcanning them and now have the battery operated ones. I just change the batteries every couple of months, rather than do the beep hunt.

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.

Eh, depends on your definition of elite. HR training has been shown to be very effective for trained individuals to continue improving conditioning, lowering resting HR, etc. You don't have to be pro to get noticeable benefits.
