Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Wow, ok. I go to a really small local gym and there is one squat rack

 

Ah, I'd be equally as frustrated in that situation then. If he's doing sumo deadlifts, just kick him in the balls during a rep. Guarantee he'll never do deadlifts in the squat rack again.

 

Yeah that'll do it

 

Disney grass...

I don't know what it's really called, but I associate it with Disney World and Epcot Center. It doesn't grow like normal grass. It creates a kind of interwoven, spongy mass, which, if manicured every 7 hours is beautiful and carpet-like. If you leave it grow just a little too long and then cut it, you realize that only the top of it is that lush jade green, and right underneath it's brown and dead-looking. Also, when it's too high, it's dense interwoven structure will make your lawn mower stall out.

When we first bought the property, the people who had lived here before had invested in some of this alien grass, but it was just around the house itself, maybe ten yards, and then further out you got normal Earthly grass that cuts like it should and is green all the way down.

In the decade I've lived here, the alien grass has spread to three times its original area. I super hate it.

 

All this time people have been looking up for "green men", when they should've been looking down at the suspicious green "grass".

 

If he can curl what you squat, you be careful what you say to him. He might just bend your face into the shape of a platypus.

 

People who can curl a decent amount don't need to do it in the squat rack

 

Believe it or not I've seen worse form than this in the gym. And was met with a less than favourable response when I told him he was at risk of dislocating his knee, injuring his back or breaking his neck. So I let him get on with it

 

Recipe websites (most of them) which require you to scroll through multiple pages of folksy babble, usually about the author's 'hubby' and kids before you get to the recipe. I get that it's about ad impressions, but Jesus ...

 

I am not too familiar with this issue.
However I am sure that if Paula Dean barefoot With Contessa
made anything, it would be a recipe for a Deep South Martini
consisting of pouring a tall glass of expensive vodka and garnishing
it with a stick of butter.

 

Here's an example:

Mike’s secured in his medical sling/maiden whilst ‘Magpie’ pipes the burger soup down his gullet.

 

Oh god* yes. That and the damn popups or popovers or whatever they call them now that, just when I finally find the actual recipe, obscure the screen to ask me if I'd like to subscribe, receive push notifications, or switch to the Asian version of the site. No, no, and no, I just want to know how many sticks of butter and where to shove them, ferfucksakes....

ETA: That very hamburger soup site mentioned by @Earp did it to me, about when I got to the third picture of a bowl of... whatever...

 

My brain. It's paradoxical that my brain controls the thought that my brain is annoying. Damn masochistic cerebral cortex.

 

It’s because we have more than one brain really, and they’re often in conflict with each other :/

 

There's an alien in my brane.

 

Having a big, cosy guy to snuggle up with is awesome...

...except the fact that it's too hot to share a bed with the window closed and it's freezing having it open all night.

Then again we constantly have all windows open because the non-Swede thinks it's too warm

 

This is a bit too local to the USA and the NFL, but it annoys me when people make excuses for Eli Manning's bad play. In the press conferences after each game, the coaches and other players keep saying they have confidence in him blah blah blah, but nobody is willing to admit that the guy is simply a lousy quarterback. Sure, he has two Super Bowl rings, but he lucked into them. He's incompetent. Come on, commentators! Admit it!

 

Speaking of football, some dude named Vontae Davis just quit... during halftime.

 

Most I speak with here in NY agree that he's the "worst Manning" and "This dude can't throw to save his life" etc.

Haven't been paying much attention to Hand-egg this season, but its not hard to imagine the Giants stinking up the field like a fresh turd.

 

Is doing enough research about firearms to be able to write scenes which involve them intelligently somehow beneath most fiction authors, or what?
