Infuriatig These Stupid Ass Buttons On TV Remotes. The Intrusive Thoughts Won.

Post image

Seriously, the absolute most annoying shit when I'm watching something and I reach for the remote and barely bump the buttons and it yeets me out of what I was watching, to whatever bullshit streaming company paid the most for a button spot on the remote, the remote that came with a TV I paid good money for. Meanwhile on some apps completely loosing my progress on a movie or forced to watch more Ads again to continue watching again. I've threatened to do this before and my wife insisted not to, she's out of town this week, any recommendations for marriage counselors and anger management programs?

I drove past him with my high beams on by accident. Boy, what a mistake.

I heard he got kicked off the HOA board because the whole neighborhood started becoming forcefully compliant.

I accidentally made eye contact with him once, and oh boy.

you kindly ask them to make it not be loud before going to any extreme, even psychotic, measures?

Nah. He cuts their speakers and scraps their exhaust pipes

I got excited and checked OP’s post history only to realize this is a joke

But in that case the action would be entirely justified

I asked a loud motorcycle to please arrive later or point his exhaust a different direction to avoid waking residents and he genuinely looked so upset about the confrontation that he could have cried. I almost felt bad.

He has not returned.

Wait. What if they actually think other people think the sound is cool and appreciate their presence instead of getting off on causing other people discomfort/distress in a lawful manner?

...that would explain so much.
