There should be a special circle of hell set aside for those inconsiderate assholes.
Things that frustrate us all

Or people that park so close to your car you can't open your doors have to back up to get out and then back in. Not so bad if you are the passenger but the driver well, that's another story. Happened to me when I got dropped off for an event.
Was fine as I was the passenger but poor car driver friend had to climb across the seats to get out.

I did that once. In my defense, I REEEEEEEEEALLY had to poop.
ooooh, another OOTS fan! YAY!!! I was so frustrated that there are so few of us.
So I am trying to increase my health quotient, or what have you, by eating salad for lunch instead of burgers or pasta.
So NATURALLY, I now have a huge, dark, salad dressing stain on the leg of my good dress pants. With 4 hours still in the workday.

That sounds incredibly frustrating.
I work in retail and even just greeting people can result in unprovoked rudeness. Just flat out being ignored is probably the highlight of my day.
that sucks! Do you have any strategies to deal with the frustration?
@ Doom: I have a similar prob: whenever I visit my family, I manage to spill a bit of sauce or drop a leaf of lettuce on my blouse. Picture 6 people sitting around a table and 5 of them watching #6 expectantly and gleefully. It's pretty impossible to not make a mess under such circumstances. It has become a sort of running joke in my family that if I manage to survive lunch spotlessly, I'll sure as hell ruin my clothes at supper. I expect to get a dozen bibs for Christmas.

Again, people who do not vote!
getting old and needing glasses for reading, posting, knitting, bicycling etc. And never being able to read these damned tiny price tags without spraining my eyeballs!
frustrating in that I've had to cope with that my whole life....... Congenital cataracts at birth, and they removed the lenses from both eyes so I've had to wear glasses my whole life. That has been problematic.... And frustrating.
eeks! And there I thought I was badly off. Without lenses, does your vision always remain the same or does it change with age? And couldn't you get artificial lenses now? My dad had a cataract surgery last year where both lenses were exchanged and though he still needs glasses, they are weaker than the ones he had to wear before the surgery
My vision never changed. It was always constant. When I had glasses I had to wear thick bifocals for distance and reading. I had those from age 4 till 2007 when I had implants put in. They put these lenses on both eyes that attach to the iris and cover the iris. On my right eye you can see it sitting on the front of the eye but my left eye is slightly smaller so with that one they had to get a different sized one and put it behind the iris in the posterior chamber in front of where an organic lens would be. A metal spring holds it in place.
As a result of this all I've never been able to drive or do stuff like that so it's been very restrictive socially, not that you'd know as I'm very outgoing for the most part, and I do try to get out and about everywhere and do as much normal stuff as I can do. As a result of the implants in 2007 I have thin glasses for regular day to day stuff, and slightly thick reading glasses for reading books and computers and such. So I swap between the two.
Haha I wish they were more borgish.... I'd like macro and zoom, and the ability to take photos haha.
hmm, too big a risk of getting hacked, if you ask me.
I'm using 3 pairs of glasses: for everything farther (or is it further???) away than armlength, for reading and one I had specially made for needlework - for sewing or embroidering you use a much shorter distance between eyes and hands as for reading.
A tiny argh-moment today: the heating bill arrived. Last year I got a refund of 120 bucks, this year I must pay about 20 even though I didn't heat more. The gas price is so high atm

Yeah utility bills are the worst......
I don't know if electronic implants could be hacked. Not if they are not part of a network and self contained anyway. Anyway I'll dream of proper bionic eyes with macro and zoom, and an SD card slot

Internet service has been down at my house for 3 days now. Provider insists that there isn't a widespread problem, but I definitely know otherwise from reddit. Really frustrating for the kids since their homework assignments, textbooks, and assignment drop location are all online.
And if you ever wondered why your packages are sometimes damaged when delivered from UPS...
Just personally witnessed a UPS man picking up and throwing down packages while trying to find the right one. He couldn't give one fuck about what was in them. I hope nobody's potentially breakable Christmas presant or old antique was in any of those.
Went to the UPS site, couldn't find a complaint form. Just standard contact for problems immediate or not. I guess UPS doesn't feel the need to let consumers report bad employees. I wish I had that shit on tape.

UPS = Unbelievable Piece of Shit, in this case.

Damn.
That's terrible. I've heard of them throwing a person's monitor when delivering them. It was on some tv show a bit ago. It's sick.
