Maybe they accidentally isolated the compounds for yeasty, stale bread not fit for croutons. I've never been into a Subway's because the smell always puts me off before I get to the door.

Over-enthusiastic laughers in cinemas: just saw Deadpool, which does admittedly have a rather obnoxious fanbase, and the dude behind us had the most forced, jarring laugh at everything. Also cinemas that do sold put opening day screenings in the tiniest screen when they are showing nothing else whatsoever at the time, my lounge is bigger (barely exaggerating). Movie was fun though.

I just went into a single toilet restroom and there was piss splattered all over the seat and a stray pube. There's a morbidly obese man that works in the same building where I do, different office up the hall. Almost daily that fucker drops what must be a 10 pound dump in TWO of the three toilets, then shovels half a roll of paper with it. And they clog up and can't be used, so guys in my office have to go down a floor to the usable bathrooms. I'm tempted to anonymously take his picture and post it everywhere as the serial shitclogger he is because goddamn that's gross as hell.

Ladies restroom too. I don't know how you manage such a feat. How hard is it to sit down, do your business, wipe, flush, and leave?!

More toilet peeves: Folks who decide to take their breaks (this happens at restaurants a lot, but not exclusively) in the bathroom, especially If it's a only-one-toilet situation discussed earlier. I worked at a kitchen, I completely understand that your legs are burning and want to sit down for a while and need to poo poo anyway, but come on, I need to poo poo too. Not toilet related Peeve: buying clothes online. I'm normally shaped enough that I can usually settle for just choosing the Large size for things, but drat is if annoying when you buy something that shapes their clothing differently enough to be a problem. Like, right now I'm wearing a hoodie that I impulse bought. It's a Large, and it fits perfectly on me except the neck, of all places. I would've totally been swimming in an XL, but part of me would rather have that than the mild sensation of choking.

Public bathrooms destroy my faith in humanity. We ALL want them to be clean, like, it's the number one space that is better to use if it's clean, but because its a private space, some people just gently caress it up for everyone else. Goddamn humanity.

I think the piss all over women's toilets happens because a lot of women will "hover" over the toilet (which uh probably works as well as you'd imagine). Personally I find a clean-looking seat, wipe it down and then sit down and pee. I couldn't even begin to explain anything else that happens in public restrooms though.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:I dropped it last year when I noticed ads start seeping in and YouTube started playing ads mid-video. I haven't seen any youtube ads or anything out of the ordinary so I guess noscript is keeping that out. Noscript is an awesome complement to adblock plus. I immediately remember how much I hate ads when I'm on a different computer so I don't have my plugins and suddenly there's all this dumb poo poo competing for screen space and throwing distracting movements in the corner of the screen. Hell of a lot more than a pet peeve but I hate that it's all fueled by telemetry and other ways of ruining privacy. Loss of privacy is something I take very seriously but feel completely powerless to do anything about.

People who can't stand to hear any criticism thrown at their favorite movie/ book/ band so they fall back on the old "Well I'd like to see YOU create something!" No. These things are made to be consumed by the public. I'm not gonna apologize for thinking critically about it. Sorry you can't bear to hear anything that challenges your opinions.

Opposite this is people who criticize something but give no good reason why outside "I dunno, it sucked/I didn't like it/it was bad". Elaborate a little if you expect someone to take you seriously - like, I get it if the action scenes gave motion sickness, or the plot was slow, or the story wasn't fleshed out coherently, or the actors/actresses didn't seem like they put effort in. It's just as much a lame rear end excuse as the "you create something" one.

If you want to have an in depth discussion, sure, but if you're just comparing opinions no more should be necessary. Music, for example, some I hate for a reason, but a lot it just doesn't make my brain give off the chemicals that tell me I'm enjoying it and haranguing me for excuses as to why not won't get anywhere.

It's the same thing as last week! You can get your own! It's in the cafeteria! Go over there and get some! They'll be there again next week!

Either you liked it of you didn't; the rest is SMG-esque intellectual masterbation. No worries, it doesn't come off like that  maybe I should elaborate, because a lot of the people I've known who criticize something with "I don't/didn't like it" are the kind that can't shut up about it. That's more what I can't stand, we get it, they don't like thing but they don't have to constantly say they hate thing, especially just to counter someone liking that thing. I stopped hanging out with a few people because of crap like that, got really irritating to set up some kind of get-together and have them griping about everything they don't like (and of course they get pissed when they don't get invited anywhere again).

Questions written without question marks. Especially because there's a pattern of certain kinds of rhetorical questions, for example "[non-question statment], don't you think?" that consistently go without even in professional works. I mean I'm  about grammar in general but that one I always notice and it looks really jarring.

It's just as much a lame rear end excuse as the "you create something" one. This is why CD gets so unbearable at times. Not because people don't elaborate, but because of the people who are so in love with a film, that they seem to want a shot by shot analysis of why each scene was awful before they will even begin to accept that someone didn't like a film. I'm also getting tired of people using the phrase "That's what [thing] was supposed to be" as a defense against criticism. i.e.: "I didn't like Kylo Ren because he was weak, spineless character who lacked any sense of menace." "Well, that's what he was supposed to be, therefore, you're wrong in not liking him."

NonzeroCircle posted:Over-enthusiastic laughers in cinemas Mine is over-enthusiastic laughers in general. During our work group meetings whenever the head of the group says pretty much anything, 75% of the room bursts into laughter. Sometimes he makes jokes that warrant a chuckle at most, but some of the people just get out of control like they're about to fall out their chair. When it's just a generic statement not intended to be a joke but it gets laughter anyway he always has a look of "what's so funny", a sentiment that I share with him. I guess all that could be generalized in to "people who are incredibly transparent and unashamed about sucking up to the boss".

I like to use my sense of humor, but that doesn't mean every sentence is a joke! In turn, she was painfully unfunny, and of course was taking comedy writing classes. EDIT: speaking of jokes, I hate when people don't get an obvious joke and instead of owning up to it they say "jokes are supposed to be funny," as if bad jokes didn't exist. Don't blame your own mental fuckup or inability to distinguish sarcasm on the person making the joke. Henchman of Santa has a new favorite as of 23:06 on Feb 12, 2016 |

Personally I find a clean-looking seat, wipe it down and then sit down and pee. I couldn't even begin to explain anything else that happens in public restrooms though. Back in the 90's, I worked at K-Mart (don't judge me.) and I was a stock-boy that had to clean the restrooms. Women's restrooms were the worst. Piss, poo poo, and blood everywhere. One would think that people would take a dirty diaper, pack it with used tampons, and then spin it over their head like a lariat. To be fair, this was Bemidji, MN so that was probably more likely than not.

When you walk up to set of lighs and there's already a good amount of people there, and then when the lights change the walk light doesn't come on because no one pressed the button. Argh, you stupid useless fucks. Or people dumping all their assorted trash on the nature strip expecting the council to clean it up. It's the third time a bunch of trash has been put outside my complex in the <1 year I've lived here. And both other times the trashd umps ended up being pretty huge before the council roped it off with "illegal dumping under investigation" tape, and doing letter drops to tell people not to illegally dump and if you need a council clean up you have to organise it etc.

Part of me wants to turn to them and say, "oh thank you, kind sir, my tiny lady fingers were not strong enough to handle such a large button, and my simple lady mind couldn't handle how to operate it." I know it's an overreaction (which is why I don't do it), but I live in a large-ish city and spend a lot of time running on the street, so I get to observe stuff like this on a very regular basis.

Just press the drat button even if you're going to jaywalk. If it's a busy road, you won't get a gap until the lights change and then you won't have cars trying to turn into you. One last pedestrian peeve are people that jaywalk because they are impatient but then stroll as they do it, almost getting pasted. Have some awareness you dolts.

I've been burned way too many times by drooling idiots waiting around on the corner without pushing the button. Hell yeah I will stroll right up and hammer that loving button! Unless I see you push it, I assume it hasn't been pushed. Of course, proper ped buttons nowadays light up when they've been activated, and such is required for ADA compliance! Almost none of the intersections around here have installed such wonders, sadly.
