That I, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, didn’t win an Oscar for my role of McLovin in Superbad.

Pisses me off there aren't more expensive airplane seats where the person in front of you can't recline, offset by the price of discounted seats unable to recline.

This is a good solution. I would feel fine reclining if I knew the people behind me were poor.


That my new(ish) windows 11 laptop takes a PIN to unlock instead of a password. Also, that I don't have to actually submit it; as soon as I input the last character, windows unlocks.


Probably less than 10 years away from needing to enter a credit card number to get the ability to recline, maybe another 5 years after that you will be able to pay to not allow the person in front of you to recline (unless they outbid you)


Also that windows 11 doesn't make it easy to put off an update. Powering down auto-installs things, instead of previous versions, where you'd get 'shut down' or 'shut down and update' options.

You can alt-F4 to get a menu, but I haven't gotten in the habit of this. Definite downgrade.


People who put off OS updates.

You can disable passwordless sign in.


Yeah, there's never a time when it's appropriate to do an immediate shutdown. Sigh.


Guess I haven't had a Pop Tart in a while. Kinda creeps me out more than pisses me off...



used to be cartoons were only printed on the outsides of carboard boxes

also pisses me off your paper towel pattern copies bounty but probably is some other perfectly acceptable brand of disposal wiping product


"We're a faith-based business."

Would you be more inclined to buy their product or service if they said they worship the devil?


Faith-based could mean they worship the Devil.

Probably not, but I can tell you that I purposely would avoid any business that makes a claim to being "faith-based."


+1 what to W0X0F wrote. Same as saying "we're an evidence-free based business."

Back on topic, "X sleeps until ."


I've always preferred "X days and a wake-up" until said event myself.

Hell yeah!

Sounds like the words of a man serving a jail sentence.

That one shouldn't piss me off? That is very disappointing because it enrages me.

Back to the faith-based stuff, I have refused to return to some restaurants around here because they had the 10 Commandments tablet displayed outside. There is a place I didn't return to for haircuts because the TVs were playing some Christian stuff continuously--complete with audio.

I have friends and relatives who don't understand my decisions at all. Go figure.

Somewhat related is "Have a blessed day." It doesn't quite rise to the level of pissing me off, but it certainly isn't received as intended.


When I sneeze (more frequently than normal people due to allergies), and somebody blesses me, my standard response is, "Thank yoiu. Seemes unlikely, though."

Or an enlistment term, perhaps.


Referring to the United States as America. Hey dummy, Argentina's America. Canada's America. Mexico's America. Brazil's America. Heard someone today referring to the 250 on NFL balls: You know, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America!


But those are states 51, 53, 54, 55


Pretty sure Venezuela's 51, sir.


If you don't like it leave!


Norte Americanos, amirite?
