Things that make you irrationally angry

[Anonymous]

When people make a PBJ and spread the jelly on top of the peanut butter instead of spreading the peanut butter on one slice of bread and jelly on the other slice. Wtf

I am looking for an electrical plug connector which is located way in the back of the store in a very small section. As I am looking at the item another person comes up, stands right next to me (like at my elbow) and begins looking at connectors, too.

This happens to me frequently. I don't understand it. Were I in the same situation, I would browse nearby until I saw that person was done picking out the object and only then would I move in.

But why? I don’t understand this. There’s room for both of you. It’s not your private store. Truly, this is irrational.

I go to big box stores and often have to wait for shoppers to touch 10 items of the exact same variety before finally decided based on God knows what which one is THE ONE. So either hurry the F up or I'm coming to get what I need.

Watching people do this with produce and rotisserie chickens is maddening and gross. Do you have to touch every single apple before selecting one? And the rotisserie chickens are 5 bucks, just grab one for God's sake!

Do you really just grab any old apple. Why not find one with one bad spots. Chicken..some are too dark. I mean it does not take more than 20 seconds.

Or in my home. DH scrolls Tik Tok and Instagram with sound on and it drives me bonkers.

OMG same, in bed before sleeping. I like to read content on my phone, usually Reddit. He likes to scroll Insta, which is ok I guess in moderation. But it blares out obnoxious sounds and music. He also interrupts me every few minutes to show me cute memes and posts. This is annoying, but also cute somehow. I think about if there were a day, heaven forbid, when he was not there to show me cute memes that we laugh about together, or if he no longer wanted to share funny stuff with me, and I get over myself.

Last night he showed me one you have to find, two cats are staring at a hairbrush on the floor, trying to figure out what it is. One cat touches it, which causes the hairbrush to move in an unpredictable way. The other cat completely freaks out, somehow jumps straight up as if levitating as cats do, and GTFO of the room in hyperspeed. The best.

OK I guess I retract my rant.

I do pick one up, look at it, put in in my basket if it's not bruised. Then on to the next. These people are excessively touching every fruit over and over.

Ice cream. Just pick one and move on. Standing there with the door open for 5 minutes means yes, I'm sticking my arm in front of you and getting what I want. Pick one and move the F on or I will push in front of you.

Rude people
People who talk on speaker phone while standing 2 feet from me in a grocery store or long line or restaurant.

Jennifer Garner has a Capital One ad that starts with "You may know me from my other job, but I'm also a small business owner." Right away I'm irritated, because Jennifer Garner's main professional job is making commercials for Capital One. I know she's referring to her acting career, but the only acting she's done worth watching in the last 10 years is a small part on the reboot of Party Down, otherwise she mostly makes these ads and posts on social media. So no, Jen, I don't really know you from your other job. This is your job, this commercial I'm currently watching. Alias was ages ago.

But second, it makes me irrationally angry that Garner would describe herself as a "small business owner" and position herself as someone in a similar situation to the average small business owner, and thus capable of giving "advice" on how to take advantage of Capital One's small business services. As an actual small business owner, I would describe Garner as a "vanity business owner." Which is fine, but different. She's also, again, a paid spokesperson for Capital One, and has been for many years, so the idea that their relationship is premised on her business is ludicrous. It makes me really mad.

But the most enraging part of the ad comes at the end, when Jennifer is at the airport with her "colleagues" (a group of actors I am certain do not work for Jen's "business" and that she met on set the day this was filmed) waiting for the flight for their "business trip." She's extolling one of the perks of banking with Capital One, travel perks including access to airport lounges. She says, "I could get used to this!" in that folksy, guileless way she has of saying things. And then my head explodes.

YOU ARE JENNIFER GARNER. YOU USED TO BE MARRIED TO BEN AFFLECK. YOU HAVE A CRAP TON OF MONEY, LIVE IN A HUGE HOUSE IN MALIBU OR SOMETHING, AND FLY PRIVATE OR (AT A MINIMUM) FIRST CLASS WHEN YOU FLY. YOU DO NOT NEED ACCESS TO CAPITAL ONE'S SMALL BUSINESS PERKS TO GAIN ACCESS TO A FREAKING **AIRPORT LOUNGE** AND YOU ARE ALREADY USED TO IT. WHAT EVEN IS THIS, DOES THIS COMMERCIAL ACTUALLY INDUCE ANYONE TO BANK WITH CAPITAL ONE, WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS IS THE DUMBEST COMMERCIAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

/rant, thank you for reading

Wow. Just wow.

Men with two kids on the back of an E-bike weaving in and out of morning traffic on Reno Rd. This is not a hate post for cyclists, I commuted this way for many years. But this is so dangerous and I always imagine the mom lost the argument in these marriages, and that this Dad has a very specific image of himself that he needs to uphold.

The premade sandwiches at wegmans that are all wrapped. There's a sign telling you what's in them. Every sandwich in the section is the same. I get irrationally angry watching people pick up the sandwich and looking at it. Then the next sandwich. Then the next one. I truly want to ask them what new information they have after being all handsy with a sandwich.

Expiration dates. The want freshly made, not day-old sandwiches.
I don't normally buy sandwiches, but do look at several packages of greens to pick the one with the latest expiration date. It takes my family several days to go through a box of salad greens, so don't want them to go bad while sitting in my fridge.

Well, this would make me irrationally angry. How far apart do you really think these expiration dates are? There are people whose job it is to stock this product probably daily and they will put the oldest one in the front, which means you are digging around to the back because your family can't make it through a container of baby spinach in five days?

That's a good point. At my wegman's every single sandwich is day-of, but maybe they don't know that.

I know this one! Or close! A friend (whom I almost killed) put PB on each bread then the jelly on PB. He said it was to keep the jelly from leaking through the bread. I get that, if you are packing your PBJ for a long haul. Like night before. Does that help?

Reader, I did not kill him. I led him to the light (PB on one side, jelly on the other, eat sandwich immediately).
