I'm not trying to sound like an :censored:hole here, but I've asked my family countless times to not bother me while I'm editing photos and videos yet they do it anyway. I'm now sitting in front of the computer trying to figure out what I was supposed to add to a new graphics package I was creating

Been meaning to reply to this for a while now, but I know how you feel. I get hot headed when I am in the middle of typing something and I am told to get up and do something, especially when i'm in the middle of a chat with someone. Some days it bothers me more than others, it just depends on what I am doing and what mood I am in. Saturdays are the worst about it and that's part of the reason I don't even like Saturdays.

It wasn't too long ago I finally figured out how to do something that I had wanted to do for a long time and of course once I did, I was being pestered more than ever before shortly after. :grumpy:
 
Turning up the volume stupid loud whenever a favourite song plays.

I'm no exception – when a song I like catches the attention of my ears I sometimes turn the dial up a couple of notches to have a little rock session, but when others turn said dial a few hundred notches to the point that it drowns out everything, it just becomes intolerable.

If I wanted my eardrums ruptured I'd stand in front of a subwoofer stack at a rock concert.
 
Things that rock continuously after you’ve touch them like some kind of mocking perpetual motion device. For instance, when you put away a bowl in a stack of bowls and it keeps rocking and rocking and rocking like it just wants to wind you up and 🤬 with your head. So you close the door and walk away, but all you can hear is it rocking and rocking and mocking and mocking like it’s possessed.

IS IT EVER GOiNG TO END!?

Hate it.
 
2 hours ago I was waiting in a waiting room. While I was waiting and an elderly man, sitting about 1 and a half meter from me started tapping with his shoe. He was listening to the music trying to stay in tune.

It was such an annoying sound! :mad:
 
I suppose this is more of a personal trust issue. But I find it irritating putting my trust in someone to relay a message to someone else. Mostly when trying to talk to a manager and some employee always says "please take a seat and the manager will be with you when they're available." Can't count how many times I've been told this, only to realize the person who told me to take a seat "forgot" to tell the manager. Luckily never really had this issue as a customer, but always seems to happen when I'm going in for an interview or asking for information from a manager. (An example would be my work sending me to another dealership to pick up a car off their lot. Only to be told by a salesperson to sit and wait. HOPING they give the message to the manager)
 
The new Mazda MX-5 2018 confuses me.

So I stumbled across a Mazda dealer with time to spare so I browsed the cars. My eyes immediately fell on two MX-5 hardtops, holy cow they were beautiful! :eek: And not just beautiful but actually...affordable. Really low drag design, low weight, looked absolutely stunning, 4 cylinder is good enough for the specs as well and overall quality was totally acceptable - what a beauty.

And then when I tried to climb into the car it all fell apart. I could not steer the car with the door closed as the interior was simply too small! I was stuck in there in an awkward painful position with the door squishing my left shoulder which did not allow me to properly operate the car - at all.

True, I'm a weight lifter but definitely not the biggest guy in the world, tons of other people must be experiencing the same issue.

So why would you design a car that is only drivable for like half the potential customers?
 
I never understood why people assume I don't appreciate humor just because I don't find them funny. I love to laugh, but only at things I find funny. With comedy being subjective, I shouldn't have to laugh at everything people find funny.
I.E. I don't think modern Family Guy is funny, I think it's tired and predictable. and when someone references a meme, I most of the time think it's stupid.

EDIT: Oh and jokes that involve calling a car something it isn't are also stupid, because that's basically just lying for fun. Anyone can do that.

Would you be so kind as to elaborate? What might one call a car apart from what it is, even jokingly?

This:


Or I heard people call supercars somethinglike a Prius or Camry.

Gotcha. With regards to the former, it seems to me that the [subjective] humor lies in context.

The latter...well...that's absurd, because the Prius and Camry are perfectly reasonable forms of personal mobility that don't in the least hint at feelings of inadequacy on the part of the oener owner.

:D

Or if someone thinks you have a bad taste for music because you don't care about a certain artist. My brother said this to me not too long ago simply because I didn't care much for Luke Combs and even claimed his music was better than anything I listened to. Thing is though, I happen to be a pretty diverse person when it comes to music and he's never around to hear my music most of the time and he hasn't even seen much of my rather large music library either....
 
Automakers which use the phrase "First-Ever" for their new model line, such as:

Chryslomotoghini presents the first-ever Rotodoodle 67-9Q!

No, the first-ever one is either in a museum, or was crash-tested into oblivion. Everyone can't buy the first-ever one, they buy the 2704th one or the 3562nd from the dealership in the next city over.

Maybe a Violated Law of Inertia Warning needs to posted on the Monroney sticker.

To add to that, using product-specific branding to suggest exclusivity--"Our liquid toilet bowl cleaner is the only one with Flush-o-Scrub™ technology!"--when there really isn't anything about a product to meaningfully differentiate it from another.

I know it's not the same but this reminded me of the PT Cruiser. Literally every one I've ever seen was a "Limited Edition."

Everything ever produced ever is a limited edition...

:dopey:

So, off-topic, I was on the phone with an insurance company representative...ages ago...angling for an improved rate when she asked what trim level my car was. In an effort to assist me in figuring out which mine was (one wasn't specified), she proceeded to list off the various abbreviations: "LE is limited edition, LX is luxury, SE is something else--", I interrupted her with a "Seriously?" She asked me what was the matter and I said "I would have assumed SE stood for special edition."

:P
 
*kikie goes to a dealer*

dealer: can I help you, sir.
me: it's not sir, it's kikie
dealer: can I help you, kikie?
me: yes, I'm looking for a new car
dealer: what car are you looking for kikie?
me: It has to be fast, sporty and a gorgeous looking car
dealer: Have you seen our SE model yet. This could be the car you are looking for.
me: yes, that is what I want, a Something Else model.
dealer annoyed: So you want something else. We don't have something else. I suggest you go to another dealer to find your something else car.
me: Okay? :confused: :(

*kikie driving home wondering, confused what just happened thinking to himself; the only thing I wanted was an SE model. I asked for a Something Else model and he kicked me out. Why, oh why does this world has to be so cruel?
 
axletramp
axletramp wonders why kikie went into a dealership with only one model and asked what they had?
Click to expand...
kikie asks himself why axletramp thinks the dealer has only one model. Dealer said: "Have you seen our SE model yet" which means that they have other models besides the Something Else model. :D

A confusing previous post of me isn't it. :lol:
