What Makes You Angry?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I never saw that one before and while I never thought much of Oprah before this I think even less of her now. It certainly doesn't look good though I'd have to hear more about the context to see if it was tongue in cheek or not. Just seeing that clip I'd say it wasn't though I could see it being some sort of response to McCain's "The One" ads; an attempt to flip McCain's attack ads against him or something.

Uh... "The One" ads were in response to Oprah and others calling Obama that.

Well, that's how "The One" flap got started. There was nothing tongue in cheek about it. Oprah was serious, and said it on a number of occasions, trying to rally support.

Context counts: That clip was from early December, 2007 -- BEFORE THE IOWA CAUCUS, when Hillary was still the clear favorite.

As someone who doesn't watch Oprah, I can safely say the only time I've ever heard "The One" being mentioned is from the mouths of bitter republicans online. I'm not sure what that says about it.

If somebody was blowing this thing out of proportion, it's the repubs.

Traffic and other drivers...my primary source of annoyance...it's great when I don't drive for a while - no more stress. Not even work stresses me out.

NeObama, The One!

[Straybow]

People who use the word "ask" as a noun. Such as "That's a big ask."

Unforgiveable.

Verbing weirds language.

[Straybow]

"Biannually" means once every two years not twice per year; it cannot mean both, you idiot dictionary writers.

Does "Bicentennial" mean two hundred times a year? No. Get a clue, people!

Except that that's exactly how the ass-licking press and mindless supporters treat him.

You seem a little tense.

Driving is one of my bigger deals. People that don't use their turn signals. Let's not leave out cell phones while driving.

It takes a lot to really make me angry. What makes me angry are angry people

There's one person at my work who really pushes it though, I'm seriously considering never to answer the phone if she calls me (one of my colleagues already does this to her) because even when she's in "good" mood she sounds extremely angry

*Phone rings*
Me: Hello
Her: My *beep* computer doesn't *beep* work and it's all your *beep* fault
Me: What's the problem?
Her: *Giving an angry explanation*, I demand you to fix this *beep* NOW. What stupid idiot is responsible for this?
Me: The one responsible for this problem is Microsoft
Her: The YOU should call the *beep* Microsoft NOW and tell them to fix it NOW!!!
Me: Calm down, it doesn't help to get angry at me. That only makes it less likely that I want to help you
Her: Angry? I'm not *beep* angry. You should hear me when I'm angry



(Why MS created the problem is still unknown) I could fix the problem for her , but decided not to help her at all

I'm surprised that she hasn't been fired (well, everybody in my department is surprised)... it's scary to think about, that her job is to talk to customers all day

[Japher]

Yeah, that's weird that her computer would keep beeping like that.

You should tell her that it would work better if she stopped surfing porn all day.

Don't be so shy - we all know that you work for an online sex company and that she takes care of the masochistic customers

Saw it today, and couldn't believe it.

What makes you think I don't like kids.
