Is it just me or does the NEW, new Volkswagen Beetle design make you want to vomit?

The OLD, new Beetle looked much cooler!

This one looks like a child's toy gone wrong imo.

People rolling right into the crosswalk instead of stopping at the stop line when making a right turn on a red light. I've been nearly run over by people pulling this shit.

Pedestrians stepping out in front of traffic because they assume traffic will stop. Often without even bothering to look at the traffic. Goes double for cyclists ridding through crosswalks..

Jaywalkers are even worse. We get plenty of those around here.

Some months ago there were some kids deliberately trying to jump in front of my car.

Drivers assuming that I can somehow see 10 seconds down the right turn lane through the 100-yard-deep row of minivans and SUVs and pickup trucks in the next lane without actually sticking my head out.

Reminded me of one of mine -

Restrooms where you must pull a handle to exit. After I've washed my hands, I'd much rather push (with my shoulder or elbow) - Because I know that 90% of the population doesn't wash. :(

Really it should be a two way swinging door. Easier access is both directions.

That's why you grab the lever/pull with the paper towel you used to dry your hands 8)

Ah, you're assuming paper towel exists and not a crappy hand dryer (or Dyson Air Blade if lucky)

ha, yeah, we have airblades at my work. You could also use your foot to open the door(can be tricky :wink: ) or stand there and wait for the next person to come in. :lol:

But really, just man up. It ain't gonna kill you. Just about anywhere you go, you have to touch things others have touched. Carry some anti-bacteria crap if it bugs you that much.

What happens when you are out in the woods and take a leak? You aren't washing your hands after, but 9 times out of 10, you will live. :wink:

Our bodies are used to dealing with bacteria and the like, it's fine. I wouldn't lick the bathroom door handle, but touching it isn't going to shorten your life or anything, regardless of what's on it.

Only 9 times out of 10!? I'm lucky to still be alive, holy shit.

It's really not that bad. It just goes along with the title of this thread. It's a little thing that annoys me that all bathroom doors aren't opened from the inside with a push. Really not that big of a deal. :wink:

Yeah, it's not exactly a problem for me either. I just fine it rather queer that we put so much effort on washing up afterwards and then can't even leave the room before hitting a contaminate again. Not that it's going to harm anyone, just that it's odd.

14 year olds in general.

Either:
1. Squealing at each other in high pitched voices on the Tube
2. Comparing ring tones on the tube
3. Running in front of traffic and just expecting it to stop (I'm living the for the day one of those little shits gets hit)
4. Yelling at me in Counterstrike: GO that I'm a noob, and I just got "no-scoped!"
5. Wandering down the road 4 in a line blocking the entire pavement

I just got friendzoned!... FUCK! There's no way to get outta that now :evil: I guess that isn't a "little annoying thing" inasmuch as it is kind of a big thing for me 8)

Actually, that was a total ninjabitch move by her, as we were all drinking and having laughs all around, and she never let on it was coming. Suddenly, she calls me "her friend" in front of everyone. I had to cut that, right there, on the spot - What? I never said I was your 'friend' nor would I want to waste my time being one - and then I broke into laughter 8)

That's kind of a dick move, but whatever.


I hide behind smiles and destroy myself inside.

also, that girl i was seeing in SF deleted me from her FB friends.

Dumb thoughts, but that was our main form of communication. I want to destroy myself more and more as each day passes.

Dude, you really gotta loosen up and practice the art of laughing and forgetting... or just play moar DFK (I think you were the one with the killer cab set up) 8)


This was a bit annoying: Coming into my CE class only to find out during lecture I don't need the god damn book! I just blew 60 bucks on this stupid thing!

You gotta trash those keepsakes, like exorcising some kind of daemon. Open the hand of thought and let go... okay, I'm still severely pissed about the book 8)

Urine is aseptic, so it's not surprising that it won't kill you. However, what isn't aseptic is fecal matter, though there will be too little of it on a handle to have chances of causing bodily harm. Unless someone shits directly on the handle but that's a different thing altogether.

Also, in regards to that; yes, if you are stranded somewhere and wounded, you should use the ol' golden shower to clean the wound.

That is an amazing mental image! You'd need to be pretty supple to manage that, I'd imagine... probably why it's such a rare occurrence. It does happen though.
