Shit that annoys you

Regarding stamping plans you have not prepared. You stamp it, you own it.

this stupid broken site.

Other issues aside, it is actually pretty peppy atm.

this stupid broken site.

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed with the site, or more annoyed with my myself for continuing to come back here wasting time trying (usually unsuccessfully) to get a thread to load.

My wife and I like comedy clubs. Whenever we vacation somewhere we always schedule a dinner and then comedy show... and we usually get seated front-row center because we are a younger good looking couple who say yes to the offer and we both think its fun to get roasted and/or participate when the comedian does crowd work. As anyone who goes to these clubs knows, a good crowd can make or break it. Bad crowds are really annoying. We went to a comedy show in a destination ski town recently and it was just all 40yr old couples from the south where the guy was a stoic/grumpy middle class wannabe outdoorsman, and the wife was just dumb and conservative latched onto the husband. There was only 1 couple in the crowd (also from the south) who was the loud, boisterous funny southerner that was there to laugh and had a good time. Basically, it was my wife and I, and that other couple who were the only ones laughing and having a good time with the comedians... 2 of the comedians completely abandoned their material and just went around roasting the slackjawed dumbfaced audience members who apparently forgot they were at a comedy show. i knew we were in for a shitty crowd when the couple in front of us in line said "i paid $35 for these tickets, this better be funny", and "well, we can always leave and try to get our money back if we dont think its funny". WTF people, i have never seen a deader audience.

We like comedy clubs too. While back, we went to a show, everybody’s laughing, it’s a good time, except for two dumbass guys right in the front row. They’re not laughing. They’re not yelling or boisterous, they’re just obviously annoyed and then they’d reply once in a while. After a while the comedian had to tell jokes to make fun of them.
I was at another show about five years ago, where the woman in front kinda took over the show yelling crap, and so the comedian had no alternative, but to make her part of the act, kind of ruined it.
My thing is…why are they there?

Yeah, ask Michael Richards how that usually goes.

[BmillsSkier]

Lol, exactly what I thought of reading that.

On that note, why do people think it is cool to show up to someone's place of work and heckle them? I get that this kind of behavior has been going on since Shakespeare but come on.

Here in NM, and probably other places, there are people that feel it’s appropriate to heckle patrollers who are working their ass off clearing runs on avy mitigation powder days. Asshole behavior.

[Ted Striker]

To be faiirrr... there are quite a few comedians who enjoy being heckled. Jimmy Carr literally encourages it. The Norm MacDonald "teachers" heckle is classic (and dark). Bill Burr and the blind guy is pretty savage too.

[old goat]

Comedians who can't handle hecklers are in the wrong line of work. People just sitting there not laughing are a different story.

The stickers on fruit and vegetables annoy me. They annoy me on my sox, they annoy me on my shoes, they annoy me in my teeth, they annoy me period.

It’s funny when you find them in the compost. Still as perfect as the day they were made after everything else has decomposed.

[dan_pdx]

Apparently they annoy the hell out of the compost program manager in your city's solid waste department too.

We mailed a new registration application to the Oregon DMV in Salem about 2 weeks ago. The tracking information shows it hasn't moved for 10 days so I guess we're going to learn how to get a title reissued.

[The AD]

You'd think by now someone would have devised a spray-on, edible replacement to those stickers.

It's somewhere between funny and annoying when someone else had lemon slicing on their side work and sliced a bunch of lemons without removing all of the stickers.

A little less funny if you miss the sticker as well and deliver the customer a water with stickered lemon.

[babybear]

I was thinking that too but I bet the barrier would be that people are still too fearful of it currently. Barcodes are ripe for conspiracy theories [emoji38]
But it probably won’t be long- to me it kind of is a good indicator- I cleaned the barcode off of my apple, I probably also mostly cleaned off the pesticides.

I was at a business dinner at a newly-christened Michelin * restaurant last summer and the desert was this crazy awesome reconfigured Georgia peach cobbler that was served in half of a peach. Our client noticed his peach half still had a sticker on the bottom and declared to the table upon noticing it - at least we know they aren’t bullshitting us on where the peaches are from! I’m pretty sure someone lost their job that night despite our party not caring too much. They did comp our booze without asking us at all which was insanely nice considering (a) we weren’t personally paying for it anyway; and (b) we had a LOT of high priced booze that dinner.

[californiagrown]

Someone either lost their job, or an entirely new role was created to ensure that never happened again "Produce sticker bitch".


This belongs in another thread in the Padded Room... I love my wife, but i honestly dont think the lady has ever thrown away a produce sticker in her life. She peels them off every time, and sticks them to the counter by the sink EVERY GODDAMN TIME. without fail. Its like an OCD thing.

[BmillsSkier]

Ha! My wife does the same thing

Patients that don't want a scan done but never cancel the appointment. You know, never mind the other patients that might actually want that appointment time, but whatever. Lots of patients are idiots as are their physicians.
