sandbox thread of annoyance

Classic absent minded professor asks me to put his presentations on the website but NEVER GIVES ME THE INFORMATION I NEED TO DO IT. Replies with requests for more information go unanswered.

Once, he sent me an email weeks later asking why something was not yet up on the website. Rather than writing back BECAUSE YOU NEVER RESPONDED TO MY EMAILS ASKING FOR INFORMATION, I simply had to politely reiterate the information I needed.

Just now he replied to my email requesting more information WITH THE EXACT SAME INFORMATION AS BEFORE.

No one ever, EVER listens to music in my office without headphones on, so why the hell does "War Is Over Merry X-mas" have to be the exception?

I'm all about forming a "zipper" formation during heavy traffic, where cars leave enough space in front of them for other lanes to merge with ease, thereby keeping the flow of traffic cruising smoothly instead of stop-and-starting.

But you see, the key to that sentence is in the final part, the "cruising smoothly instead of stop-and-starting" part. When you're constantly braking to let folks in, EVERYBODY IN, then the cars 25 spaces behind us sit for as long as that chain reaction of brakes takes place and you're actually causing more delays than deleting them.

People who, when you are standing in a crowd and they want to get past, bodily grasp you as though they are an old friend, or they just want to physically lift you out of the way. DON'T TOUCH ME! I would rather you gently shouldered me out of the way than put your geezer hands all over me.

Yeah, that NYE movie--such a huge cast, and not one that isn't irritating

1. Per the inaugural post to this thread, my coworker said she does not like Italian food because she doesn't like cheese, and her limited understanding of the foods people in Italy eat is an annoyance.

2. My boss was warming into a "why I say MERRY CHRISTMAS instead of HAPPY HOLIDAYS" rant, which was going to necessitate me telling him I don't celebrate "Christmas" because I don't believe in "Christ," which was going to BLOW HIS MIND because he is Catholic and assumes that everybody else is (or wishes they were), and I'm not even exaggerating the level of his presumption on the matter. But luckily he hurt himself putting his coat on and dropped the subject. Annoyance averted.

for some reason this is the funniest thing I have read all day. maybe its the schaudenfreude.
