Things that frustrate us all

When a person gives you a brief, but deliberate, look of contemptuous disdain. A dirty look so cutting it could theoretically outlast the sun, but for the smug that subsumes any other expression.
Some people are just cunts, but they wear it like a baboons arse.

Looks can work both ways. I usually repay that kind of attitude in kind.
I usually do, but at that point I was unaware of my perceived slight, and was still operating under the pretence of civility.
To hell with that.
Elitists and people oblivious to their own hypocrisies.
Finding and getting non-employer-based health insurance in the US.
I'm one of the only people in this country to ever be accepted for SSDI after my first application (hell, I didn't even fill out the forms and survey they sent after initially seeing someone at the SS Dept offices), but finding acceptable supplementary insurance is both exceptionally difficult (especially considering most people looking are over 65) and frustrating. They don't make the process easy at all. Finding decent and neutral information online is also a pain.

People like that make me very angry. I come across people like that too now and again. I tend to be direct and tell them what I think about their behaviour. It most often doesn’t make a difference and I end up getting frustrated.
Those clickbait-y sites that discuss twenty different things related to a particular topic but make you keep clicking the "next" button to get to a new slide instead of just showing everything on one page, and then subject you to a different barrage of browser-bogging ads on each slide.

The SNL skit from a week or two ago reminded me of this thread.

Something that frustrates me? Geoblocking.
Hopefully it was at least mentioned in the video!
^geoblocking has just been declared illegal in the EU. With a little luck the idea will spread.
In such cases I use to say "you're welcome". Most people then automatically start to say "but I didn't..." ,think and blush. Next time they do say "Thanks"

About your bottom line, what if someone hugs their psychiatrist? Wouldn't that have the opposite effect?

Aww man, I’m sorry. It’s really dumb that you can’t see it because of where you live.Something that frustrates me? Geoblocking.

The episode is on Hulu if you have a subscription and you’re curious. I’m a big SNL fan, personally. That’s usually where I watch it.
Hmm, I can't access the site either, not even using a proxy. However, I found the lyrics: https://genius.com/Saturday-night-live-unity-song-lyrics
I find the more important or time constrained the work the slower computer(s) run.
That sounds lovely in theory! Although I do wonder how it would work out in practice, with distribution rights owned by different companies in different countries.
No worries, you kinda get used to it here!

Actually, Hulu isn’t available in Canada either!
I think SNL airs on Global here, so I could always poke around their website and see if I could find it there.

Speaking of which, quizzes that don't build their answers cleverly enough to even have entertainment value.
Look, you GOT me, you gained my click and my data by making me think it'd be fun to see what Game of Thrones character I am. But at least put enough effort into it so I can draw a logical line between my answers and the result! If you asked a question "Did you wrestle in high school" and I say no, don't guess that I wrestled in high school!
People who take your stupid quizzes should look at the answer and think "Huh, yeah that kinda makes sense. Neat." Not "...WTF does that have to do with what I answered?!" Deliver on promise, pointless time suck quiz writers!
