The mini rage thread

[rog]

Instead of rage
I’m focusing on positive thoughts
Wish me luck

I got the idea for the mini rage thread in an Australian motorcycling forum - there was also a mini joys thread, maybe you could be the one to start that, here!

hahah this thread is hilariously a great idea. Like a rage room you can rent for an hour and just break shit. Cathartic.

Another forum has “why are you mad” and “why are you sad” - they get a lot of posts.

I can't take credit - I stole it from another forum. They had the mini rage thread, the off topic mini rage thread, and the mini joys thread. I thought it was brilliant when I first saw it.

next thing will be a Purge thread. 1X a year where you can...tell off another forum member. oh wait that happens already. Although its' a pretty civil forum here for the most part. We good behavior my post here is a total joke of course. I'd never suggest such a thing. merry xmas

I may not have posted enough to create a thread yet .
I tried but wasn’t successful.

It was worth a shot.

My mini rage is listening to needy people talk about themselves and me saying..."Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm."

Multimeters that have mini tip probes so that you can't mount alligator clips on them when needed.

Who is this cost saving animal who thought that up?

When you get stabbed in the back from the storm door as it closes hard behind you

When you get stabbed in the back from the storm door as it closes hard behind you

Hah, I don't get stabbed, but behind me, the storm door handle gets caught on my jacket, wants to knock me over. Solvable of course, but annoying.

My corner of my storm door often will whack unsuspecting visitors, including myself, on the heel of your sneaker or shoe, sometime causing a nasty scrape or wound. Both my elderly Mom and I can attest to my boobytrapped back door.

Some folks put a sign on their door that says, "Beware: Guard Dog." I think my back door needs a sign that says "Never Mind the Guard Cat. Watch Your Step!"

If you haven't seen the movie Heat, spoilers ahead, stop reading now. And go watch it, it's amazing.

This isn't a rage, per se, but it annoys me.

I just watched Heat again, a couple of nights ago. As a movie, it holds up really well - I'm still on the edge of my seat during the shooting after the bank robbery.

But the scene where Al Pacino kicks Henry Rollins' ass...that goes beyond my ability to engage in suspended disbelief.

On the dog poop thing. I've had dog owners putting a dog poop bag in my trash after it's been emptied so I'm stuck with their dog poop for a week. That's definitely my mini rage.

I'd "lend" you some if you were a neighbor. That's just rotten news to wake up to!

I'd guess my mini rage (my most prevalent one) is when someone (a forum member or guest) peruses the forum and "borrows" comments that show up elsewhere...typically not other forums, but strangely enough, on OTA TV.

Just enough theme coincidence to keep you interested, just enough paranoia to be bothersome.

It's been happening for many years now, and recently resurfaced again. Apparently, it's that "Larry" (not Carlton) guy again.

1 When transport trucks block the passing lane so they can go the width of one human hair per hour faster than the truck they're "passing".

100% this. I just drove 10 hours yesterday from Dallas to Auburn, AL. And I gotta tell you it drives me nuts. The only thing that worse is anyone driving in the left lane on a highway when they should be in the right lane. Left lane is for passing. Full stop.
