People who stand right next to the doors when waiting to get on a train or lift who then act amazed and annoyed that I might want to get off the lift/train, and that they're going to have to move away from the door.

I just barrel through them now and don't even look back to see if they are ok.

I really need to start doing that. Nice to know it's not just me with this problem, though.

This really is a stupid thing to get angry over, so this seems like the right place for it: online shops that send you an email to tell you they're picking out your item now, or packing your item now. What's the point? Confirmation they've received the order makes sense. Confirmation that they've posted it is useful, it lets me know to keep an eye out for our idiot postman leaving a parcel where the dog can chew it. But what am I supposed to do with the information that someone's getting the item I want and putting it in a box?

People who can't comprehend that I don't drink hot drinks. I used to just say "No, thank you" to offers of tea and coffee until I found that I'd inadvertantly offended someone because I always refused their offer and they thought it was something to do with them. So I say "No thanks, I don't drink hot drinks." Which is the cue for people to list every possible hot drink you can possible imagine, as if I've never heard of fruit tea, hot chocolate or Bovril.

Have a similar problem with cheese. Mention I don't like it and people launch into "But how do you eat pizza?" I don't. Why is that so difficult to understand?

There are good pizzas without cheese. You're missing out.
I know cheeseless pizza is a thing, but I'm pretty sure any place I order from would gently caress it up, and even if they don't I'm still left eating an overpriced open sandwich. Seriously, gently caress pizza.

True story, in college one of the guys on the same level of my dorm had decided that he hated fruits and vegetables and decided that, since he was no longer under his parent's watchful eyes, he was no longer going to eat them. About 3 months after the year started he went to the campus health center complaining about constant tiredness and bruising easily. They told him to go to a real doctor because they didn't know what the gently caress.

The idiot turned out to have scurvy.

:stonk: I'm sure I remember reading recently that you need so little vitamin c to avoid scurvy that having a couple of ketchup packets with your fries (or whatever crap the guy was eating) would be enough. What was he eating?

warm sunshine
a kitten's purr
smiling
human emotion
the joyous laughter of children

I'm not a big fan of sunshine. My white ancestory (parents are English and Scottish, with Nordic roots) has given me skin that is one of two colours: pasty white or flaming red. There is no in between.

How can you not like cheese? Cheese is the nectar of the gods. It goes with everything and makes everything better in every way possible.
It smells like feet. A good food should not smell like an unwashed body part.

Pedestrians who cross the road diagonally.

Like their destination is diagonally on the other side of the road. But instead of crossing the road quickly and then walking up to their destination via the sidewalk. They will instead cross the road diagonally leading to more cars having to slow down and wait for them to cross.


People who at a pedestrian crossing hit the button and then cross on a "red man" anyway (because there are no cars close by). Leaving the cars waiting at an empty crossing as the pedestrian has already crossed by the time the light changes.

Pedestrians who know they shouldn't be crossing the road at that time, so they run halfway across, then slow to a saunter for the other half.

In regards to Game of Thrones:

Whenever anyone is talking about the show
FTFY. Mainly because I don't watch the show, aren't interested in the show, yet people still insist on telling me about this really cool thing that happened that makes me think "Yeah, I probably would have enjoyed that when I was 15 and didn't have access to the internet if I wanted to watch violence and porn." So really, my problem is people who keep insisting you need to watch something you don't give a poo poo about. Mate at college kept insisting I needed to watch Fight Club, eventually bringing a copy in with him and handing it to me. It sat in the bottom of my bag for about two months, with him asking every few days "Have you watched it yet?" Nope. Not interested. Watched Commando again last night.

It's not even that these shows or films are bad, it's just that people will not shut the gently caress up about them. I've heard of Game of Thrones. It's probably the biggest nerd thing on televsion. I'm just. Not. INTERESTED. Constantly telling me about it is not changing my mind on that. I don't keep banging on to people about how great really popular things I like are, I'd appreciate the same courtesy in return.

Smoking, and throwing their cigarette butts everywhere.

As a non-smoker, I'm not a fan of the laws against smoking in work places. I'd far rather there were disgusting little rooms smokers could use instead of them wandering around, spreading stink everywhere they go.

Youtube is recommending to me a video called "Fallout 3 Is Garbage And Here's Why." It has over 1.5 million views. It's an hour and a half long. Who the gently caress watches 90 minutes of someone bleating about a game they don't like? And how does it even take that long to point out what you don't like about the game?

One of my "lotto winner' fantasies is owning a stack of cheapass beater cars to use for my daily commute and just colliding with fucksticks in Mercedes who try to cut me off.

I don't even drive, and I have the same fantasy. Maybe hire an Enrique to drive me around in in an old Volvo, drat things were built like tanks.

When someone compliments my vocabulary, I tell them that my mother was an English teacher. :shobon:
I've mentioned to people that my mother was a nurse a few times. Mainly because I use her as a first port of call for medical concerns, so it's basically "I'm a bit worried about this, mum said to get it checked out, she was a nurse so I figure it's not just me being a hypochondriac." Don't think I've ever brought up my dad being an engineer, mainly because I know gently caress all about engineering.
