Irritations

[c.d.]

Fare jumpers on the Washington, D.C. Metro System who evade the fare by jumping the gates. Metro estimates that they lose millions of dollars in revenue yearly from this. Their solution was to spend millions of dollars replacing all the old gates with higher ones. A few people still try to jump them or squeeze between the gates or they will wait until someone who has paid is going through the gate and will basically come up behind them and try to exit at the same time.

Annoys the hell out of me because of the huge shortages Metro faces as a result they have to periodically raise fares to make up the deficit. So it is honest people like myself who suffer because of these selfish jerks.

You did see pay toilets occasionally in the past but they have pretty much faded away.

And phone booths where you could pay to make a call are now pretty much non-existent.

We still have pay-to-use public toilets but not as many as in days past. There are still a few phone booths but I can’t recall the last time that I saw one being used. Most have probably been vandalised which is a popular pastime these days.

We don’t have that one over here c.d. but it would be annoying if we did.

Retail theft is rampant. Not only by individuals but also by what they call flash mobs. A group of young teens will run into the store with big garbage bags and basically sweep everything off the shelves and then run out. It has gotten so bad that some stores have had to close.

Do you have toilets over there that you have to pay to use?

People that do insanely dangerous things for ‘fun.’ As far as I’m concerned if you need to hang from a beam with one hand at the top of a 600+ metre skyscraper just to get a bit of meaning into your life then you’re probably insane and possibly a danger to others.

I’ve always had a thing about people saying “Small world isn’t it” when realising they have a mutual acquaintance with somebody.
I’m sure those same people, when chatting with those who have no mutual acquaintances don’t feel the need to say
“wow, we have no mutual friends, what a huge world we live in”

(I realise this is unique to me, and my particular psychosis)

Advertising companies that try to convince women that they need to spend around £20 a day on ‘products.’ Creams and lotions etc.

Laundry detergent and toilet paper kept under lock and key in the drug store so that you have to find a store employee to get it out for you. I understand it because so many people steal these items but still very, very annoying.

TV shows where, after every commercial break, they have to recap what happened before that break. How inattentive do they think people are?

Probably loads but my main one is lack of manners and stupidity. I do not mind people being 'educationally challenged' as school is not for everyone etc but no excuse for being stupid.

I’ve seen a schoolteacher on a tv quiz recently being asked who was PM at the end of WW2 and she said Margaret Thatcher.

I wear a corset for dailywear and I'm so sick of all the bs surrounding them.


It's not torture.

It's not organ crushing.

I can breathe.

It's very comfortable.

You can wear it under most things.

It's not a fetish.

It's great back support.


The end.

Hey if they were good enough for Queen Victoria....

People who invent a new term for their "unique" brand of sexual orientation. You know the ones you have to look up. Like when they're attracted to stop signs. Pretentious little ****.
