When you walk into the office, and before you even sit down your handed three projects.

M_Six · 07-14-2014, 10:18 AM

Within walking distance, just those two choices for coffee. The conference is supplying coffee and it's decent enough, thank god.

On a street with 1.3 continuous miles of traffic islands... Where you finally get to the next intersection and there's no U-Turns like the street below (e.g. if you're Eastbound on Valley Blvd coming from Fullerton Rd and meeting Nogales St)... Granted, you can just go to the next block that allows U-Turns (Sentous Ave), but I've been in areas where the entire f**king street doesn't allow it. Umm... Could someone tell me a practical reason for traffic islands, please? It's a huge waste of time and gas!

People dragging a duffle bag through the airport as if it had wheels.

And, literally as I'm typing this waiting on a delayed flight, a woman just walked by me dragging a duffle bag.....

Uber V8 · 07-14-2014, 12:57 PM

When I realized I watched ALL commercials on a recorded show.

M_Six · 07-14-2014, 01:58 PM

People who use enough perfume/cologne to self-ignite. If my eyes are watering from 10ft away, you overdid it.

I just bought AXE body spray when I was at Target yesterday and I'm 30 years old lol. I'm not sure what prompted me to get it but I'll use it judisciously

Kwando · 07-15-2014, 12:52 PM

People who have to lick their thumb to turn every single page. It's absolutely disgusting and I'm running low on hand sanitizer.

DemolitionJim · 07-15-2014, 01:14 PM

sharp boogers that are on the wall of your nose in the back and when your nose twitches or moves, the booger stabs the side of your nose.

ingrown hairs are the dumbest things ever.

people with awful feet that wear sandals or open toe shoes.

customers that start off a project by saying "i'm no artist...". ya no shit because if you were an artist, i wouldn't be here and you wouldn't be paying me to do your art.

the word "moist".

making a protein shake in a blender ball cup after the gym, only to still have chunks of fuckin wet sand hit the back of my throat when im drinking it.

people who tell shitty jokes and then backhand slap the person next to them to get them to laugh and say, "am i right?!"

pennies piss me off.

the smell of old tools. they smell like crusty feet and moldy cheese.

bird shit on my car.

people who blow up perfectly good trailers or tool sheds because they smoke while making their meth.

i really really really hate when people at work ask me how i am doing because i feel inclined to lie and say, "i'm great." when in reality i wanna throw a damn chair through the window, flick everyone off, and ride my unicorn into the sunset all the way back to my solid gold mansion.

LOL. My smelly coworker has a habit of doing that. Whenever I send something to the printer and see him get up. I hall ass to grab my printout first.

When you're at work and it's a long, slow day and you're SURE that at least 50 min to an hour has passed and then you look at the clock and realize its only been 7 minutes.

Yup... I'm so bored today its unreal. Nothing is happening and I know I could do stuff now, and have an easy evening later, but even that has not gotten me moving today.

I still have 3 1/2 hours left to the day. I swear the clock just stopped.

NEFARIOUS · 07-15-2014, 01:32 PM

This just happened to me, so it's fresh in my mind... People who overstep their boundaries. If you're not in a position of management or power, don't boss me around. Even if you are in such a position, don't f**king yell at me or talk to me like an idiot.

I use to play a game back in school with some friends where we have a competition to not look at the clock in front of us for the entire class (by honor code), because not looking at the clock would make the time go by faster. It worked most days. It works sometimes at work. The one day the internet was down it was the longest day ever.

How about in the morning, when the only thing standing between you and your office, is 3.5 miles and a Chevy Aveo going 10 under the speed limit
