Random things you hate

[DallasFanForever]

My rant for today is very simple. I’m getting old, and I hate it! Saw my nephew today for the first time in 7 months. Asked him what he wanted to do and he begged me to take him to the park to play baseball. No problem, that’s what uncles do. To make a long story short, I’m learning I can’t do the things I did 10 years ago. I’m not even sure I can do the things I did 10 months ago. Drove 40 miles just to find out I’m old.

I’m getting old, and I hate it

I'm with you there. Last week I went to Golden Corral (buffet-style restaurant) with a friend from work and didn't notice until we sat down that I'd been charged about a dollar less than she had. Turns out the cashier had given me the Senior Citizen Discount and had not even asked if I was eligible for it. So not only did this cashier chick think I was old enough for a senior discount, she thought I was old enough that she didn't even have to ask if I was old enough for it.

Young people who can't comprehend that life existed prior to their birth. When one to these people says "always" or "never" it should be taken to mean the past twenty-some years.

Co-workers who don’t pull their weight. I’m not saying you have to work as hard as me. We’re all different and we all have different paces but at least take care of your own work load. I shouldn’t have to do all of my work plus help you as well, especially when I’m already doing more than you to begin with.

When you start sneezing but can’t stop- so annoying

I have a very loud sneeze, so does my brother, so did our father. When I sneeze repeatedly people will sometimes ask me to "quiet down" as if I can control it - I can't.

 

[Willie Oleson]

A sneeze is like a nose orgasm. Right?

 

[DallasFanForever]

When I find a cut or a bruise on myself and I don’t remember how I got it. I don’t know what scares me more, the actual injury or the fact that I can’t remember how it got there.

One of my friends does this and I’m sick telling him how unnecessary it is. It is possible to contain it a bit more - I learned in biology that sneezes are voluntary actions.

Believe me it is NO fun being subjected to a loud sneeze!

However I should add that I suffer from a really chronic noise sensitivity issue called misophonia. It is rarely diagnosed but it’s awful and means literally a hatred of certain noises.

People who wear plastic see through visors or face masks and their breath condenses on the surface. Grosses me out.

 

[DallasFanForever]

Immature people. I’m all for having fun but there’s a time to be serious about life. And if ur an adult and want other adults to take you seriously then act like one.

Nonsense this end must:

 

[Willie Oleson]

We haven't been hating anything for two weeks, are we getting soft?

Then let me rant about this:

IMDB reviewers who describe something as "JUST a soap opera" to emphasize how truly awful the movie or series is.
How dare they, and why are those nasty reviews being accepted?
Let's destroy them! *grabs mink stole and sashays out of the rant thread*

While we're on the topic of soap opera ignorance I would like to add this:

I recently saw an episode of Law & Order where Barbara Rhodes played an actress who mentioned having plastic surgery between seasons of the soap opera on which she appeared. On an episode of Schitt's Creek Johnny reminded Moira that she was drunk for all or most of several seasons of Sunrise Bay, the soap opera on which she starred. I would think that someone involved in the production of these shows should have caught this and fixed the scripts so they mentioned years, instead of seasons which daytime soap operas don't have.

 

[Willie Oleson]

We're living in a time of seasons. IMDB lists almost everything as seasons, even the mini-series.

I hate paper straws! The city banned plastic straws being handed out at restaurants because...you know, it'll Save The Planet. The paper straws get soggy and un-usable within minutes, which is a PITA for those of us who sip our drinks slowly rather than gulping them down.

 

[DallasFanForever]

I actually hate all straws. Never liked them but if I had a choice then I’d have to go with the plastic. The paper ones are a mess.

 

[Daniel Avery]

What makes it so laughable is that the ban only involves the city limits---not the entire county, much less the entire area. I could literally get a proper, plastic straw if I was willing to drive an extra three or four minutes past the city limit into the unincorporated part of the county. I know the city leaders wanted to earn those sweet, sweet virtue-signal points by passing the ordinance, but it's like having a no-pee section of a swimming pool.
