Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Styropyro makes lasers with mostly scrap electronics that can give third degree burns within seconds.

 

Or this:

 

When you pull into a drive-thru and they ask if you want to order X, Y, or Z instead of just asking what you would like to order.

 

I think the most important thing I learned from that series (I've done a bunch of reading on the Third Reich on a casual level, so not putting the series down) was about the Luftwaffe. Yeah, Goering was a fighter ace from WWI, but he'd never progressed to the rank where he'd have any clue how to run a whole air force. Being a pilot is a good base, but that doesn't give you the skill set to be a general/air marshal or whatever.

 

Youtube knifemaking videos that are just someone using an angle grinder and a belt sander to carve a knife out of bar stock. I'm not so Dunning-Kruger as to believe I could do the same thing if I had the same tools, but when those folks are compared to blacksmiths who shape everything on the anvil it just looks like cheating.

 

videos with unreal DIY with millions of views on Youtube. just why?!

 

Brilliant!

 

The fact that Regina George cockblocked fetch, but now we have to suffer its street vendor knock-off, clutch.

 

Juice. It's just breakfast soda. Don't drink it. Your teeth will hate you in 10 years.

 

Companies using COVID-19 (homemade videos of people self-isolating) to advertise their goods.

 

This should annoy you, though. It is fairly unethical to use tragedy for advertisement purposes. I would post that mattress store video which used 9/11 as a motif, but I'm already on the THINNEST ice with the mods.

 

True.

 

And here I am, watching a vid on fb with fast working hands creating works of art with chocolate and food colorings, thinking who the hell is brutal enough to eat a clock or a pot with a rose in it or a sleeping bebe. How do you even start eating a thing like that? Is this metallic blue coloring even edible? How do you hold it or how do you cut it? HOW? These things should come with a manual.

 

People who paid you no mind (or bullied you) in high school, suddenly friend requesting you out of the blue, past midnight.

.... No.

 

If you have became even a bit famous, successful or have got some other kind of lift in social hierarchies, they are not requesting you but that lift.

 

When people make facial expressions and pleasurable noises when they eat food like they’re having an orgasm. Yes, I get it, you like it. Now eat it! You’re not having sex with it!

 

I am myself guilty of experiencing the odd food-gasm. But so rare they've been, I honestly couldn't recall if I was in a public space or not.

 

Oh, hell yes I am! I have yummy-gasms all the time!
Love,
