Checkout-Line Rage: When you empty your shopping cart with only one hand because you're on the phone. When you don't step forward to enable the next person to emply her cart. When you take 27 items through the express line. When you pay by credit/debit/check/etc. and don't know how. When you use coupons.
Movie Theater Rage: When you enter the theater 5 minutes after the movie started and complain you can't find a seat. When you talk during the movie. When you text during the movie. When you bring your baby. When you put your feet on my chair, next to my head. When you say, "Here comes the scene where the car hits him!"
Neighbor Rage: When your yard sale visitors block my driveway. When your idiot kid shovels your snow onto my driveway. When your dog shits on my lawn. When you play any Rick Astley song while you wash your car.
Work Rage: When you put the empty coffee pot on a hot burner. When you leave your fish sandwich in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. When you touch every donut just to see what they are. When you buy the last Snickers from the vending machine. When you wear too much fragrence. When you bitch about others wearing too much fragrence.
Previous Programmer Rage: When you name all your variables x, xx, xxx, and xxxx. When you have the exact same code 9 times in the same program and I only changed 8 of them. When you document anything 4 different places, all of them differently. When you promote your code before bothering to test for outlying cases. When you don't sign your work so I don't know who to bitch about.
- viraptor 16y ago> When you don't sign your work Also, when you put your name anywhere in the file, since not only the code is going to outlive you career there, I can get more detailed information from the VCS. It's like a badly drawn graffiti tag.
- lukeschlather 16y agoSome of us have done too much work in environments where VCS scares people. Actually, when I worked with UniBASIC/Datatel, VCS was basically impossible because the architecture was so bizarre. Unless I wanted to write my own, and of course I had actual tasks I was trying to accomplish and writing a VCS was not really worth it if I couldn't get anyone else to use it. Better to adopt the habit of copying database records (which doubled as source files) with a note of the date and my initials, since that's how it was done. Well, also I did quit.
- dasil003 16y agoOne nice use of git in this circumstance is just turning some directory into a versioned directory. Then every time you work on it, you commit everything that's there with a comment "all the shit everyone else did since I last touched it", then you have a nice record of what you did and also big clusters documenting whatever fuckups may have occurred.
- lukeschlather 16y agoI seriously considered it. It probably would have worked, since database tables were implemented as delimited text files. [1][2] But our vendor had their own deployment system, and there was zero chance of them sending us Git patches instead of their proprietary ones, and most of what we did was integrate patches from the vendor into our code. So really I took the only option available to me.

- RyanMcGreal 16y agoI sense a general case: X Rage: when you're inconsiderate toward others.
- sophacles 16y agoShouldn't that be: X Rage: The act of getting angry with those who are inconsiderate and unfollowing of situational norms for X?
- pinko 16y ago> [...] When you use coupons. Unlike many of your other examples I'm not sure I see how someone using coupons could be considered inconsiderate towards you. It's not like they have a faster option (aside from paying more).
- JeffL 16y agoI'm not sure what exactly this is, but I've been behind people a few times where they are using some kind of elaborate coupons that the cashier has to double check and compare to the items and it takes literally 5+ minutes to go through it all. Maybe food stamps. But it is really frustrating. Regular coupons can just be instantly scanned by the bar code reader and take no time at all.
