Human troughs

[blackmage_nuke]

I like to go with "Not too shabby" myself. Otherwise Im lying about being fine.

Also Urinal Troughs are the height of modern class society and technology, no longer do men have to aim

I get annoyed whenever anyone makes that damn portal reference every time I mention cake, and then everyone else laughs and I dont get a response for my original query or statement. This applies for any overused meme that breaks conversational flow irl no matter how funny it is! By all means have a laugh but complete the topic at hand before moving onto something else!

What I can't understand is people throwing birthday parties for their pets.....Whats worse is owner's willed their entire fortune to their beloved kitty cat...As if the cat knows how what to do with all the new found wealth...Bunch of weirdos I tell ya!

[Jiro]

I would only will money to a pet if I hated everyone I knew or was related to that damned much. Actually showing that much devotion to a pet is beyond my understanding.

I find the whole daylight savings business to be ludicrous. Time was created to be standard, so why change it around? And all it does is make it daylight at 9pm here, which means all those kids who have bedtimes at 7pm will be ridiculously tired the next day.

It is actually quite a good thing down south. Not really made for the northern states though. I only get annoyed when people are too thick to realise that the amount of daylight in a day is different depending on how far you are from the equator.

You'd be surprised

This. It really annoys me when an integral piece of conversation is skipped over because of some stupid tangent.

Politics at work. It's really irritating because I sit behind two Bill O'Reilly quoters and their misinformation is painful (Obama is gonna take the DNA of every baby at birth, and if they have any defect, they'll have no insurance for health until they DIE!!!), but I stick to my vows of no politics at work because any time I discuss politics with older people, they give me the "Oh, well, you're just 19" even if my points are well-researched and thought out, which is infuriating. So I just say nothing. ;[

EDIT: And being cut-off while talking. I can't think of anything else that makes me angrier. Because people constantly do this to me. I don't know what it is about my voice that makes it something people enjoy cutting off, but they do. The consequence of that is that I talk very, very, very loudly sometimes, so that no one interrupts me. Apparently, not that loud in NY. Only Rhode Islanders have ever told me that I talk way too loudly. Wonder why?

I think it's sad that one of the major reasons I want to ever have a powerful position in life, is so that people will never interrupt me when I speak. Imagining it feels sooo good~~

The current 'EOFF IS DYING' mass hysteria

I thought it referred to a trough from which people were forced to eat, whilst their BDSM master/mistress called them a pig (And with a curly-tail buttplug, of course).

So that shows you where my mind goes.

It really winds me up when people say space exploration is a waste of time/money or, worse yet, say "We should fix everything down here first. " God almighty.

[blackmage_nuke]

Well my first though was pigs being fed human meat in a trough.

Also whats up with a third of idol contestants becoming highschool dropouts to join idol? and every backstory is how they were such "trouble makers". bunch of punk kids gettin rich for not paying attention in class i ask you.

ALL adverts. Seriously. People are stupid.

X Factor. I actually sat and watched it for twenty minutes last night and found it one of the most maddening experiences of my life.

First up as I watched was this pretty eighteen year old from a small village just outside Cardiff. There was accompanying shots of how tiny it was. "The whole village" had turned out to support her. It's always been her dream to be a singer. She's never wanted anything else. I was utterly shocked when she turned out to be a good singer and that she got through to the next round. The way they set that up was genius.

The worst bit was after this. Some boy-girl double act. They'd been a couple until three days before the event which was 'accidentally' revealed by the boy during the introduction spiel. Simon Kissinger weighed in and wanted to know who ended it. The boy, dressed up in his gladrags (Liverpool away shirt), revealed it was him. The audience roundly booed him. Imagine that, a relationship failing! But all this background info was distracting us from the main course and so they were asked which song they wanted to sing; Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now. They sang it and they weren't very good at all. Simon duly told them this, but he wasn't going to let sleeping dogs lie, he wanted to fix things. Possibly for the better! He asked the boy if there was anything he wanted to say because now, with the privacy of millions of onlookers, was the time to sort it out. The audience gave Simon a round of applause. The boy turned to his former lover and began to ask for forgiveness. With the subtlety of a Goodyear Blimp, the production staff, at this stage, thought it'd be good to continue playing Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now while this went on. At this point, I physically threw myself to my settee; I knew that if I didn't, I might run upstairs and destroy all my history books, for I knew that everything written within them would be a mere footnote after this event. She said yes. The audience cheers, there were tears and Simon sat with the look of a man who'd just solved all the worlds ills.

When I first read human troughs I thought it meant like a huge bin of slop meat for people to eat out of instead of pigs. I'm glad I chose this one
And I hate being cut off too! It happens alot to me that it feels like people just don't want to hear what I have to say so they interject with whatever they want.
Melodramatic television is the worst, even more so when it's "reality" television.

Another thing in a similar vein is the success rate of relationships from shows like The Bachelor, Flavor of Love and the like.

People over 6 that lick the bowl after they've finished their ice cream.

Getting called emo even if your mother just died and you're sad about it.

A pen running out of ink.

Wikipedia pages with 10 warnings at the top about how terrible and inaccurate the page you're going to read is.

People that turn their cell phone speaker on while text messaging to make sure you hear every single BOOP for every single letter.

When you can't find your glasses and you're wearing them.

I pour milk into the bowl to drain the remaining creamy goodness

Sometimes I wonder why you aren't my roommate, nuke, and this is one of those times.

when people don't know the name of a song, who sings it or even what genre it'd fall under but expect you to know it when they sing it to you BADLY because you work for a record store, then when you apologize and say you don't have a clue what song it is and that they need to come back with the title or atleast the singer before you can they get stroppy and tell you you're crap at your job. I'm sorry, theres around 20 million CDs where I work, 13 different departments (note not the genres just the departments) for MUSIC alone and so many artists that I still get to laugh when I find ones with names that you're surprised America hasn't sued them for exposing young children to. So because I can't tell what stupid song you're singing at me so terribly that if you were to go on X Factor you'd end up crying and devolving in to an amoeba under Simon Cowell's glare and tongue when you can't even tell me what type of music it is I am bad at my job? Nope, more like you should pay attention.

Also people who because it is not customary in their country do not tip waiting staff at restaurants when Service is NOT included. Ok so it might be in Italy or where ever you came from but see the line clearly stating you don't pay for service here, tipping is still expected and not just the 3pence change from the 87.97 bill you just sat there and ate whilst constantly taking the waiter's time when they could have been serving people who actually will leave tips. That doesn't make me nearly half as pissed as people who are clearly natives or have lived here long enough to know better who don't tip the waiters. I insist on leaving tips and if I'm with my friends and they don't tip the waiting staff with me I give them a whole load of verbal abuse about how I hope one day they end up working somewhere like that and know how it feels to work hard for minimum pay and then not even to see a tip when you're done. Same as guys who think a good tip for a waitress is their telephone number, PUHLEASSE seriously? C'mon you're killing me? She's there seeing how many people a day? Clearing up the mess you made, with your half eaten food left on the plate and you then leave a telephone number and don't give her a 10% minimum tip? HAHAHAHAHA FAIL EPIC smurfING FAIL! She will never call you. Then again leaving money and a number is just as bad, you may as well be saying "With this tip I'm buying you, call me so I can collect your ass as my property" You can see I've just come from a shift at the restaurant and customers make me angry same goes for women who leave numbers and tips, I might smile and wink at you when you leave. I might make jokes to my colleagues or brag to my friends that two girls who were really quite hot left me a 7 pound tip and BOTH their numbers and I could go get a 3some, but lets be straight? Will I ever call 2 girls who seem to believe 7 pounds will buy me out? I have slightly more self respect than that, call it 20 pounds and we'll talk :P
