Meltdowns! What trips your trigger?

[ChrisB2]

I'm extremely able-bodied and active, and I wait for elevators, even for one floor. Because it's my choice. I also use stairs, if I feel like it.

Why in the world anyone would care whether a stranger uses the stairs or the elevator is flabbergasting.

 

[Hoff Kinkmeister]

I just think it's stupid to wait for a crowded elevator when your alternative is to walk down one flight of empty stairs.
You have the choice to wait for the crowded elevator & I have the choice to judge you for making the elevator more crowded than it needs to be.

I'm reminded of the video where someone turned off the escalator at a shopping mall, and people were too stupid to walk up it, like normal humans.

Joke is on you, elevators are where the Society of Behatted Gentlemen Indoors plans their campaign against you.

Oh dearie me... I seem to have come off a bit polarizing on my last rage inducer... Here's one that should be more universal.

I HATE HATE HATE HATE it when the guitarist wanks around when the band leader is trying to talk or the band is trying to work out a part of a song.

There is a good time for these?

At the alter during a wedding
Picking up your high school diploma on a stage in front thousands of people
3 miles into a six mile run
Doing aerial acrobatics in the international space station without your pants

Slobs. My parents were hoarders and I can't stand people who are disorganized because they're lazy.

Well, I have kind of sworn off meltdowns and I am on the proper medication keep me mostly in check, but I really, really hate rude smokers. People who smoke in a drive thru line as if every other car in the line isn't being forced to breathe that poison in. People who smoke in parking garages so others have to breathe it in just to get to their car, and people who smoke around their kids.

The overwhelming science about second hand smoke aside, I have known since I was a little kid that the way you smell something is that elements of it enter your system through your nose. When you smell poop, it's because little poop molecules are going into your nose. If I can smell that smoke, them some of those poisons are entering my system against my will and that pisses me off. I really, really hate it.

All abuse by a pervert is accomplished by some type of force or coercion. To say one type is more enraging than another diminishes the offensiveness of the "less enraging" type, and I say all types are equally enraging. I fail to see how a religious pervert is more enraging than any other unless such a claim serves to validate your bias against religion in general, which a few posters in this thread obviously have.

Because when a "man of the cloth" is otherwise, and outwardly operating as an agent of a "higher moral standard"---
I hold that equivalent to a teacher, student/camp counselor, Police officer.......
Someone who's position should engender trust.

I'ts only SLIGHTLY more unsavory, when the deviant touts morality, and in some cases declared , and assumed celibacy--- fails to resist the flesh.

Perversions are not limited to sins of the flesh TBH

and You have a bias FOR religion --- there is a middle ground.

IME, IMHO,

Bass guitars with less than four strings.
Bass guitars with more than 11 strings.
If there was a double neck bass guitar where one neck had two strings and the other neck had 18 strings, I would have a ballistic meltdown.










Just kidding. But, I would hate it.

 

[/\/\3phist0]

Just kidding with the following.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

That reminds me of my old Dutch boss.
He couldn't stand Thai food, and was perplexed that there was no Indonesian food available in Thailand.
Apparently the Dutch colonized Indonesia & brought home some recipes that are now nearly considered indigenous in the NL.
It's kind of like how the British brought curry home, and now they think that they invented it.

/\/\3 too, it's like a secret coalition or something.
Usually followed by, "oh I was just testing an effect"

Addendum:
Drummers who don't disengage the snares on a drum less ballad, or lengthy instrumental intro.

Snares or a staring problem?

When I go to read a Thread, then realize it is 8 pages or more long. But I am committed so I read on.
Then this great line pops up and makes up for it.

HaHa you're upset, and nobody cares! All you do is attack. Stand down or feel the wrath of "report"

It's been a strange old day. I was roused from my slumber this morning by one of my neighbors screaming in the street outside my window.
At first I thought it was just someone passing by in a vehicle, then it happened again.
The second time, I thought it was a cry for help, so I had to go look.
I didn't really know what to do, as the guy is deaf as a post, but there he was howling away in no particular direction.

I was outside in the warm Spring breeze (80F today) playing bass & the gal next door was making such a racket kicking her BF out that I felt compelled to come inside.
I always knew she's a mouthy one, but she put the capital T in Trash today!

I broke out the tube amp once I got back inside & started to feel a little better. That tube amp sounds so great, I'm not even sure why I felt compelled to buy the Aguilar.
Anyway, I feel better now!

I don't think the gal next door does, and she's probably wrecked her relationship with everyone in earshot.
On the upside, at least the BF's mother (or whoever it is) will stop shining her damn headlights into my window at night when she comes to drop him off for a shag. She leaves the engine running & the lights one. Inconsiderate people make me angry, and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I'm sure plenty of us feel better after playing bass, but what kind of things get you wound up that you need that therapy?

Blatant disregard for rules upset me. Not sure why.

As opposed to the healthy hydrocarbon tailpipe emissions in the 2 examples you used ?

I understand what you mean, but still I had to lol.


And the kids, TOTALLY CONCUR...
and I'm a smoker fwiw.

Damn auto correct .... that causes me near meltdowns DAILY////// dam auto correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, that's a good one right up there with ill timed wet farts. I fight my autocorrect Just about every time I type anything on my phone. From changing properly spelled words, to capitalizing random words all the time for no reason whatsoever (I purposely left that one above in as an example, that was 100% my phones doing) it drives me insane. And apparently it hates curse words because no matter how many times I try to add them to it's dictionary, it will always change them. So I say duck you autocorrect, you annoying shot sniffing assuage.

I, too, get a good chuckle when people pump themselves up on ad hominem.

Who the duck says "ducking" anyway? Steve Jobs haunts us from the grave. Apple specifically disallows those to be in autocorrect AFAIK.
