things that annoy me: the inability to rep this post.

In cases where the guy in front is taking forever to make up his mind, I believe it's incumbent on the register person to find a way to help the next person who's available and come back to the first guy when he's finally ready.

Pretty much.

Speaking up about being kept waiting would just be seen as rude, and probably result in a longer wait...

Buttons on sleeves.

Getting them on by yourself is a hassle, and sometimes impossible.  You'd think there'd be easier, more effective methods..  Some kind of hidden clip, maybe.

I don't think I've seen that as a challenge since I was like 5 or something.  What's wrong with you man?

I can do the right sleeve allright, but the left ones the sticking point, thanks to clumsy right hand fingers.  I suspect this is largely because I sprained my wrist as a kid, and instead of whining about it decided to suck it up, and it ended up healing improperly.  The flesh on the heel of my hand between the thumb and pointer finger is also noticeably thicker then on the other hand, plus it aches there with tennis and the like...

Probably something to bring up to a doctor eventually, but it hasn't really affected my quality of life enough to do something about it.

Anyways, the point is the creators obviously didn't take into account people with clumsy fingers...

you blame others because you are clumsy?

this is the most entertaining thread in the history of a1-

This is what you take from it?

Not that button sleeves are poorly designed fashion accessories?  There must be 100 different better ways to implement them.

I'm sure the thousands of people with high blood sugar alone would have trouble with them, not to mention the elderly, or the large proportion of people with naturally large, not so nimble fingers...

While we're talking about fashion, neckties are by far the worst fashion accessory of all time.  They're one of those things you can almost understand existing because they look vaguely natty, but have to wonder why they've survived to this day, considering you can look perfectly stylish without them.

Ties are awesome.

Sounds like a case of sand in the vagina.

You are just bitter that you don't look as fly as the rest of us in a suit.

This has got to be an act.

Being a senior shouldn't be a free pass to new buttons, either. A lot of them can use buttons when it comes to things they enjoy, like cardigans.

Yes, because god knows most people fall into the logical fallacy of appealing to tradition.

We've always had them, so anyone that argues against them is nutty.

Why use buttons at all?

I'm a big believer in utility over aesthetics, and buttons aren't particularly functional regardless of their location..  (And hell, on dress jackets, the buttons on sleeves don't even button into anything!)

Got to admit, I'm kind of amused question fashion conventions is drawing this kind of heat though.  Since when did questioning convention make someone an easy target?

Says more about you folks then it says about me.

For one you suggested that buttons were some sort of impossible contraption for normal people to use.

Secondly, this whole thread has been filled with nonsensical things that annoy you for reasons most of us can't fathom.

There are things to rage against. Ties are pretty low down the list.

"I can do the right sleeve allright, but the left ones the sticking point, thanks to clumsy right hand fingers."

uh, yeah.  that's what i took from it.  you have a clumsy right hand fingers.  but you put the ultimately blame on a button every other guy in the world (w/o clumsy fingers...which is almost everyone) has no problem with.

i've never heard a single adult male other than you complain about those buttons.

Those forever traffic lights are pretty annoying.  There's this one that lasts at least three minutes on certain days, if not longer.  Half the traffic ends up beeping their horns for the guy trying to make a left, basically trying to bully them into burning the light, which isn't really something you'd want to risk with a police station only a minute down the road..

I can think of a few others like that between the next few towns.  Thankfully, most of them are avoidable.

What annoys the SHIT out of me, and I might have written this before, but let's recap, is the way that ESPN has tried to impose their own version of syntax on the world, and what annoys me worse is that people have apparently fallen for it.

BobbyR even committed this offense in that thread about people taking things too seriously:

A Yankee fan

ESPN apparently decided, overnight, that if you're talking about ONE fan, you should talk about the team as if it's a single unit of measure.

A Yankee fan.
A Cub fan.
An Angel fan.
A Florida Gator fan.

THIS IS THE DUMB. DUMB. DUMBEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN.

The worst example is when they talk about a Red Sox fan, and they call that person "A Red Sock fan".

GO.... FUCK... YOURSELF.....

For one thing, that one fan is a fan of the team. The team is the Red Sox.

For another thing, that team name is a trademarked name. You don't go manipulating it. I don't go around telling people, "Yeah, I'm a big fan of The Simpson". Because that's fucking stupid. Should I tell everyone that my favorite team is the Chicago Bear? I'm a big Bear fan. ASSHOLES FUCK YOU!!!

I'm writing Simmons about this because I've really had all I can take.

(Note, all of the vulgarity here is directed at ESPN's idiocy, none of this is directed toward BobbyR, he can't help it that he's fallen victim.)

Hey, is TH a Four Horesman fan?
