What's Irritating You Today Rant Thread

I had to crack up at the heart surgeon thing.  That's exactly it!

Mine is minor but irritating. My DH always wants to add flour and eggs to ground chuck to make burger patties. When I politely asked him to just use beef, salt, pepper and garlic, he pitched one of his ultra-dramatic fits ie: "Fine! I'll just never ever cook anything again for the rest of my life!"

  I could wring his neck when he acts that way. And I still do not want eggs and flour in my burger.

Atm formatting my thesis for school is rather irritating lol Oddly, writing the 100+ pages of content was the easy part.  Trying to drop in my copyright pages and numbering the introductory parts has been such a headache.  I keep scrambling everything all over the place.  I really suck at MS Word, and feel like if I hit a wrong key the whole thing will explode lol

I know people who paid someone to do the formatting just because of how crazy it is.  Best wishes to you!

Thanks!  I think I've managed to stumble through the majority of it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  If I can remove one stubborn roman numeral numbering my abstract page, I think I'm set (though that may take hours... LOL).  If I had just paid someone to do all this, it would have literally saved me days hah

Yeah, a lab mate spent a week taking out some dots on her table of contents.  Every time she removed them the entire page shifted and she couldn't get it back to normal.  I'm pretty sure she considered just not finishing the degree, lol.  It will be over soon and you can enjoy getting your bound copy!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one going through this; I feel like such an idiot.  I was planning on submitting it then seeing a movie later.  Imagine if I have to call up my friend and tell her that I'm staying in this evening instead to remove a single 'v'' from the bottom of one page lol

Since this is the "what's irritating you today" thread, it irritates me when people join makeup talk just to spam their YouTube channels or blogs. You can get plenty of traffic here, but that's by actually participating in the community and giving people the chance to get to know you. I also don't like it when people join MUT and immediately start trying to sell their high end makeup items in the sale section. No offense, but why would I trust that person? I'd be much more likely to buy from someone I knew from their posts in the community. I guess I don't like it when people just use this site without actually investing anything in the community. There are a lot of awesome people here, and I have benefited so much from getting to know them, and that certainly transcends any extra views I have gotten for my blog. Just saying.

I just need to get this out semi anonymously:

What's irritating me is that my 2nd grader is on the youth cheer squad for the local high school (which she will eventually go to) and somehow I've been marked as the assistant coach.  Seriously?!  I said I'd check my eldest daughter's schedule to see if any of her high school activities would interfere with my ability to be there at every practice (early) and game (also early) and I would let them know.  I did check and some practices and games do interfere and I won't be able to make it on time if at all.  I get a coaches email today and I'm listed on the roster as Asst. Coach.  WTF?!?!  Now, so I don't look like a complete a*hole, I'm having to juggle everything around and make it work.  I haven't cheered in 14 years and I really just don't want to anymore.  How the hell did "I'll check" get translated to "I will"?  :soap:

100% agree!

Especially those one-hit-wonders. The ones that promote once and then never post again. Ugh.

Report the posts. I've removed a few over the last few days but I know there are more out there.

My rant for today is about the ads on this site. In the past couple of days, I have noticed that the second topic on the list of like the new content summary or on the forum summary is an advertisement post. I've noticed them at the top of every page of every thread that I read. I've noticed them on the related threads section of some of the topics (like in the help section). They irritate me mostly because of just being an ad, they try to make it look like a post from a real person (like saying offline above the profile picture....and having a profile picture). I use adblock to get rid of most of the visual junk ads that take away from the site content (because having 6 flashing click me ads per page is way too many), but ad block doesn't catch these. These new ads feel deceptive and I don't like it! (Crosses arms and sits on floor pouting lol).

I agree, they feel deceptive to me, too. I understand the point is to get more click-throughs because people aren't paying attention, but I wish they would mark these posts with a different colored background or change the little "HOT" icon to "ADVERTISEMENT" or something.

I'm so glad you said this because I've been thinking the same thing too.  Its really frustrating me because I keep reading the little blurb (and sometimes almost clicking on them) before realizing its just a dumb ad, even though I know they're there.  Idk, I guess I just agree with you and @ that they are deceptive.  Big thumbs down!

This one is totally my doing, but after first missing the train I planned to board, I ended up on the wrong one in the opposite direction. This is literally a first, in decades... Lol.

There was a huge crowd from the ballgame, so it was a bit chaotic, but I swore I still got the right track; apparently not. The train was so packed, I couldn't see, and my effective noise-cancelling earbuds drowned out any alerts, so I didn't even notice. All this to pick up a couple (not entirely necessary) items from my apartment.. Hah. Luckily, there's one last train going back, from wherever I am atm (though an hour later) :/

Whats been irritating me for the last week is I got botox and I get an injection under my eyes and well this time (i've gone about 9 times) I got a LOVELY black eye. No it's not horrible but I couldn't cover it up with make up. I'm sure people thought I got in a fight or something when I went out in public. Thank god for oversized sunglasses!

Seriously it's really annoying and I've almost clicked on them a few times!

My mom had double black eyes for a couple weeks after getting eyelid surgery, and the Dermablend line worked really well for her. I think they sell it at Ulta if you have one nearby. It's definitely helpful to go in person to get a color match if you can.

Every time I read "The last time I thought I was in "San Francisco," I was actually in Oakland!" I think to myself "then you haven't spent much time in the bay area...and weren't we talking about makeup?"
