Clumsy Card House posted:Working at a pet store is a good way to burn yourself out on stupid people, my favorite were parents that insisted on getting a hamster for their toddler. Whenever I go to Petsmart to buy stuff for my chinchillas I just have to keep my head down and try to tune out the idiots shopping in the small animal section and get my poo poo and get out as fast as possible. I've started having to order most of my chinchilla supplies online now, I don't know if it's this particular region or what but all the small animal stuff they stock now is that brightly colored extremely unhealthy and actually sometimes toxic poo poo for hamsters and gently caress you if you own any other type of small animal. I guess they just figure the hamsters are going to get neglected to death before they have a chance to die of malnutrition.

There was an intersection like this near me where someone put up a homemade election-style sign that said LEFT TURN ON RED IS LEGAL HERE!(one way street turning on to another one way street)

Cowslips Warren posted:Peeve: motherfucking doctors who forget to loving SIGN THE GODDAMN PRESCRIPTION. I went to the office yesterday to pick up this loving thing because the painkiller is controlled substance so the pharmacy needs the loving paper copy. Aaaaand the thing isn't there. So I go back today after being assured the prescription is there. And it's still not. So after we finally call the loving doctor's office again they laugh and say they found it but it isn't signed so tomorrow it should be ready. Maybe. If he remembers to sign it today and put it where the secretary can find it. Where do you live that you still get paper prescriptions? I haven't been given an actual piece of paper for a prescription in like a decade. Even when I need painkillers it's still sent direct to the pharmacy electronically.

I worked in the pet food industry for a few years and by-product is not necessarily a bad thing, nor is "meal"; meal just refers to a dried version of a meat. By-product is like, heads and feet, which your cat would probably eat anyway, given the chance. As long as they NAME the meat, you are probably fine. It's all the other poo poo they stick in there. Also, 90% of cats I've seen eat nothing but lovely drug store food get diabeetus. There is a balance between hyper gourmet cat food and Friskies.

There are some medications that, at least in the US, you have to call in to your doctor yourself, physically go pick up the paper yourself, and bring the paper to the pharmacy, every time you need it refilled. The only ones I know of are certain painkillers and Adderall. Some of them you're not even allowed to get a 90-day prescription for, it has to be monthly. It's annoying.

Turn arrows: there's also where it IS a no turn on red (or there's pedestrians crossing) but the assholes behind you start honking. One time I was turning right but there was a train coming, and there is an electronic no turn arrow that turns on when the train gates are down. Some crazy lady was honking, and after I wouldn't move she DROVE UP ONTO THE CURB to get around me. She still had to wait for the train. It was seriously

Got tramadol from my dentist, I had to get a paper script, take it to the pharmacy, and wait the hour it took to get it filled for 'safety reasons". Extremely annoying when you've got a gaping hole in your face from getting wisdom teeth taken out.

Another one that just came up. When people specifically highlight that there were CHILDREN involved in an accident, as if that somehow makes that accident more significant, and that the deaths of those children are seemingly more important than the deaths of the adults involved. Take this comment from a nytimes article quote:the air plane crashed killing 224 people among them innocent children And the adults aren't innocent too? Why are only the children innocent? Would it be just kind of bad if it was just adults who died, but since there's children involved it's a tragedy? What make the children so special?

Not a full on shudder thing. Though I've only seen skinned knees, not extremely violent tragedies. To those I just get a shitton of dread, like a pile of bricks collapsing in my stomach. Or, I guess, the feeling of your stomach dropping? Whatever the phrase is. Peeve: Oh, hm, I need another email for a new project so I dont give away my other emails that are linked to Things. Gmail is pretty good. The very next day/attempt to sign in: "Oh there's oh so suspicious activity on the account you JUST created not even twelve hours ago. Give me your phone # to '''''''''''verify'''''''''' thnx" What the gently caress gmail it's attached to another email for security purposes what the gently caress do you need my phone number for?? gently caress off entirely. Just send an email to the attached account. gently caress you even more. gently caress is this poo poo??

The bars on my ground floor apartment in a nice neighborhood. They're ugly, I hate them and they only managed to delay my drunken, keyless break in by 5 seconds. And no, I didn't slip through, I ripped the fucker off the living room window. They were preventing absolutely nothing, all along. Plus, I have a dog who would maul any actual intruder who isn't me or my roommate.

Because meat can be rid of infectious agents through the rendering process, “4D” animals (dead, dying, diseased or disabled) are allowable chicken meal ingredients. While not always present, the possible inclusion of these ingredients makes chicken meal always considered unfit for human consumption From Wikipedia. You can't really say that it's all that great when they're literally using diseased animals for the ingredients. I've also found massive chunks of bones in premium quality canned wetfood so I'm not really sold on the whole "teehee this $60 bag a month catfood is totally better than the other stuff!"

I feel worse when I see an adult slip and eat poo poo, kids heal fast and the tears are generally for attention (they almost all universally look around to see if someone's watching before the water works start). Peeve: The assholes who park on the street in my neighborhood. The streets are narrow so if some assbag parks on the street there's only room for one car to drive past which creates fun games of chicken with oncoming cars every time I need to drive anywhere. Every single house in this neighborhood has a two car garage AND a two+ car driveway so even if your garage is so full of poo poo you can't fit your cars in it (this is another peeve of mine) you can still park them in your motherfucking driveway and NOT THE STREET GODDAMNIT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:From Wikipedia. Cats do eat bones. I have seen them swallow entire heads of stuff, so I wouldn't be concerned about that too much. And yes, most pet food companies use really lovely quality meat. What I am saying is that it's still meat, and a product that uses mostly meat is probably better than one that artificially ups the protein content exclusively with corn. And I have honestly never seen a $60 bag of cat food. A bag of Natural Balance is like, $18 and it's not bad food.

E: I will argue that (before it was bought by Purina) it was cost effective because you didn't have to feed them very much due to the high calorie content, so that bag would last like ~6 months between 5 cats. But when Purina bought them it was SUCH an obvious difference in terms of how it looked and smelled . Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 20:44 on Nov 7, 2015 |

When I see a list of the deadliest animals and things like rats and mosquitoes are at the top. That's bullshit. A hippo loving you up is not the same as a mosquito transmitting a disease, and the latter should not count. The malaria virus killed them, not the mosquito. Snake bites do count because they produce the venom.

It's getting to be that time of year when it starts getting colder than 70 degrees. This always means public transport vehicles, whether they be trains, trams, buses or whatever, decide to crank up the heat. I can't stand this. If it's 50 degrees outside it's a little too cold to not wear a jacket, but when you step onto the tram it's like walking into a drat sauna. You have to choose every morning whether you want to freeze on the way to the tram or wear weather-appropriate clothing and sweat your rear end off on the way in to work. I could understand keeping the thing heated to like 70 degrees or something normal, but why is it that they always crank it way the gently caress up to where you'd even sweat wearing shorts and a tshirt? Unless you're in the drat arctic, let trams and buses have the same interior temperature as outside so people don't have to remove their huge bulky jackets just to be comfortable.

Yes, the difference is pretty staggering, esp. in their coats. Cat-related pet peeve: my cat steals my underwear and leaves them in the living room. This is a step up from my old cat, Igor, who would gently take unused tampons out of the box in the bathroom and drop them in the living room, but only when we had guests.

If I started listing examples I'd get angry and this post would lose coherence but holy poo poo the rest of my family does this all the goddamn time and it's infuriating. That's not yours!

No matter what the cat food you're going to be buying is either gonna be trash, include trash, or trash your cat's digestive system and give them the most disgusting wet farts because oh no your cat doesn't like rice and chicken and needs corn and salmon instead. And once you do find one that your cat eats, doesn't turn their litter box into biological warfare launch center and is cost effective the company gets bought out or changes the recipe. gently caress yooooou pet food companies!

When I pull up to it and make my requisite stop (like you do at any Red), the person behind me often will instantly honk, as if I don't know I can turn. They're just so excited to go left on red, they just can't wait!

My co workers have practically moved in to work. We share a small workspace and a very tiny break room and some people will bring so much food that it will pile up and be forgotten. We only have two mini fridges and they're full of stuff like full sized bottles of salad dressing so I can't ever fit my actual lunch that I brought for the day in. There's a whole storage shelf dedicated to tampons and another to empty and unwashed long forgotten Tupperware.

Today there was some kind of emergency and a fire truck/ambulance duo needed access to a house  they could barely get up the narrow street, which was supposed to be a two-lane but barely fits most cars in a single middle lane due to all the trucks and poo poo parked on the street. Then they had to just park in the middle of the street because the idiots dying inside had their whole house blocked off with vehicles.

It's not just busses, I feel like every place I go in this time of year has the temperature way too high. It's been low sixties/high fifties here, and I've been perfectly fine with a light leather jacket. Why does my bank have the heat at eighty? It's fine at restaurants and bars, because I can just take my coat off, but it's really uncomfortable in places where I'm kinda stuck wearing it.

Imagine being stuck on a crowded bus, fat people standing moob to moob, the few of us sitting are getting asses or guts in the face unless we're lucky enough to have a window seat in which case we're getting pressed against the wall by our desperately escaping aisle seat neighbor. And then the heat. And the stench of sweat. On top of an already hot, sweaty body mass. I want to die.
