For some reason, all Samsung commercials now have this weird disjointed excerpt from that stupid song "Hey Soul Sister," except it's just the part that goes, "HE-ey, he-e-e-e-ey, he-e-e-e-ey TONIGHT!" over and over and over again, for the duration of the commercial; and the other day, I was in the kitchen with crap all over my hands and there was like an hour long commercial of just that, and I'm in there unable to make it stop and I'm just like OMG OMG WHY IS IT DOING THAT AND NOT STOPPING EVER, and it caused me to develop a potentially fatal allergy that gives me seizures even from the shorter, homeopathic versions of those commercials.

This isn't trivial though. I have suffered from a permanently disabling injury, and I am unable to work as a result.

As luck would have it, that fucking song has been stuck in my head all day. But in my case the injury was caused by my 7-year-old playing it all weekend.

Which means that at least one person would go insane if she were inside my head for an entirely different reason from the usual ones.

Only Yb would be sufficiently cruel and culturally versed to rub Stiv Bators in my face at a time like this.

I annoy myself when I click the "first unread post" button for a thread with an interesting title ... only to remember too late that the thread has moved on into tedium.

As sure as I put it on software ignore, though, it'll get interesting again. I just know it!

I fell asleep listening to classical music on the local public radio station, and awoke to hear some babbling idiot handicapping the Republican 'candidates' for president... more than 22 months before the election. This is evidently what passes for news on Morning Edition. :facepalm:

Trying to get free work out of me is not trivial.

The stunned look was trivial. It added just the right amount of itsy bitsy annoyance to the rest of the bullshit.

How about this for trivial...

Why do certain individuals insist on entering a building and then stopping right inside the door, thus blocking all the other traffic for no apparent reason?

Same goes for escalators. When you get off an escalator keep moving. Do not stop and then act surprised when the crowd behind you is forced to trample you. :stoopid::dumb::slow:

The people who complained about the loud TV at Mom & Dad's house all talk at many decibel levels higher than the damn TV ever put out.

The party there today was a madhouse. Nonstop yelling, children screaming, adults trying to boss each other--a person couldn't eat without being asked to "Gimme dat wouldja?" or "You're up, gimme a cuppa coffee." Nobody sat still for five minutes, and if you did, someone leaned over you to load their plate, "Scuse me just wanna get summa dat."

Couldn't even sit back and digest--someone had to grab the plates and cutlery, leaving no tools for the dessert, people washing dishes and making enough noise while doing it so we all knew they were washing the dishes, and multiple toasts to the cooks, fer crying out loud it was just a pork roast and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.

After that, no conversation--"Less play party games!" Fuggedaboutit, I'm outta here.

Happy New Year. Next party in a couple of weeks.

That people pack up their Christmas decorations before the end of the 12 days of Christmas. Especially people who go all "reason for the season" but then have all their baby Jesus packed up by the 27th!! And don't look at me crosseyed for saying things like :blahblah: church calendar :blahblah:, as if Christmas on December 25th is mentioned in the Jesus-pressed-one English Bible.
