And the 6 outlets powering those 6 lamps all have steel lock boxes around them so you can't unplug them, so if you didn't think to pack a hosed up adapter for the light sockets have fun setting up your laptop in the bathroom.

Additionally, hotels that just plop the TV on a tiny desk with nowhere else to put it. So if you want to watch tv while you're on your laptop, I hope you have a small screen, and also like to watch tv from about 12 inches away.

Probably been posted before, but people who let their dogs off-leash in on-leash areas. No, I don't care that your dog is super friendly and just playing. My dog does not like overly boisterous large dogs and may bark and snap because he's scared by your dog jumping up on him. That is literally why I'm walking here in the on-leash area. And if you're screaming at your dog and it's blatantly ignoring you and not even turning its head, then it's by definition not under your control, and not well-trained enough to be off-leash anyway.

I hate idealistic vegetarians with inconsistent policies... if you're going to get up in my face about my personal eating habits, then sort your own out first. Either eating animals is completely wrong or it isn't, you can't pick and choose which animals you think are deserving of this apparently horrific immoral fate.

Tiggum posted:Vegans are all stupidly inconsistent. Find one vegan who avoids modern agricultural practices that kill animals. Unless they're a hermit living on food they grow themself in the wilderness, they're arbitrarily overlooking a whole lot of stuff. Veganism is bullshit. I'm not a vegan but the "gotcha man they kill fieldmice harvesting grain" thing is kind of a pet peeve of mine. There's nothing logically inconsistent with someone saying "I try to do the bare minimum to avoid having animals get killed to sustain me without actually dying myself and still being able to live a life in society. Yes some animals have probably still died to sustain my life but I have taken an effort to minimize it by not eating their meat or byproducts and not wearing their skin." In an imperfect world choices need to be made that are less than ideologically perfect, its not some invalidation of the whole principal of vegetarianism to point out that animals get caught in wheat threshers.

Thanks for explaining this more eloquently than I could. I hate the assumption that if you're not doing EVERYTHING to save a thing/fix a problem, that nothing is worth bothering. I can't save every shelter animal, but I have a ton of yarn and some extra time, and I can make them some blankets. Should I spend all my money on myself just because the $20 I give to an animal shelter isn't going to solve the problem of homeless pets? I recycle, reuse, and donate stuff wherever I can, drive a fuel efficient car, etc.--should I not bother with these things just because I have a hobby that uses a lot of jet fuel? I don't eat exclusively vegetarian, but am I not allowed to eat tofu just because I like it? Goddamn, man, I'm not trying to be a loving saint over here, just minimizing harm as much as I can.

People who walk around looking at their phones confuse the hell out of me. I don't mean at bar, or on the bus. I don't care about that. I mean people who literally walk around the sidewalks downtown staring at their phone. This morning, I was standing behind a girl who was scrolling through Twitter and Facebook, and when it was time to get off, she pressed her umbrella into the person ahead of her as a type of white cane and then kept staring at her phone for about a block. When I got to the crosswalk, she absent-mindedly bumped into me and then sort of floated about two feet into the road and then just stood there. Like, how is she still alive? Less dramatic versions of this end up blocking my path about five, six times a day. It's infuriating.

ONE of you can scoot back and make room for the one of me. You can get back to side-by-side with your friends in the five seconds it takes me to pass. There's a narrow staircase right by my office, too. I don't tiptoe around, but I also don't clomp around like I'm trying to get mud off my boots. Yet every time I'm going up and someone's coming down, they turn the corner and act surprised that someone else is on the staircase too. I've taken to stomping up the stairs just so they'll hear me coming and not be surprised.

One day I just squared up my shoulders and kept walking. The girl who walked into me bounced off me and staggered a foot or two back before falling over. They always look super offended too even though they saw you coming and did nothing about it.

I don't even bother saying excuse me when they've locked eyes and realize I'm not moving - bitch, I'm walking on the right side and you and your stupid friends are taking up the entire aisle. Especially frustrating at stores because there's no easy way around them and gently caress walking an aisle over to go around because they're too stupid to be considerate. Don't even get me started on the idiots that block store aisles with carts while they decide what to buy or yak yak with some other jackass when I just want to get my poo poo and leave.

I sit in a cubicle. The door to my area is about 5 feet behind me - I have a partial wall between the door and myself, but I still get the foot traffic constantly, and it's annoying. Worse is the 'meetings' in the hallway. 3 or 4 people will just congregate right outside the door and chat about whatever. We have 20+ rooms for this explicit purpose you jerks. Shut up and take your meeting elsewhere.

People in my area are passive-aggressive so you don't really have to worry about any of them pulling out a Glock and blasting you away. They might look a little offended but in their face you can see the recognition that they didn't need the WHOLE sidewalk and should have moved over. It does kinda bum me out when it's a couple, and the woman always ducks behind the man, while the man just stares at me like it's my job to get out of his way. I don't have the patience your wife has for your poo poo, bro, and after I blow past you, that's the end of our interactions together, and I don't mind throwing a little elbow or shoulder into you.

For some reason she waited until her stop (which was also my stop) to pull out her phone and stop browsing, so she got up, started browsing, continued browsing as she languidly exited the train, and continued still as she shuffled up the steps out of the station. Her decision completely perplexed me. I will never understand why it is absolutely necessary for anyone to travel up/down stairs while simultaneously browsing their phone. The most I'll do in that situation is turn up/down my Spotify, which doesn't require me to look down at all, and honestly I STILL wait because it's hardly an urgent matter. cash crab posted:It's especially irritating when they're coming at you in groups or pairs.

One I had at work recently - got a talking to by my manager because I didn't answer a call immediately while driving to work. I was about 5 minutes from the office so I let it go to VM. Get in the office and almost immediately my boss is asking why I didn't pick up. My exact response was "I don't talk or text while driving. My dad got rear-ended on his motorcycle last year by someone on a cell. I've almost been hit several times by people texting and driving. My mom's car got t-boned a couple years ago in winter by an idiot on a cell phone." I got to work fixing the issue (was a minor thing but it was a client that treats EVERYTHING like it's on fire, even a password reset), talked to the client, and got another message from a manager in our sister office about the missed call. Nope, gently caress you dude. If I can pull over somewhere safely and return the call, I'll do it. Otherwise, I'm not putting myself and others at risk being a dumb rear end in a top hat on my cell while driving, not even if there was a hazard bonus. There's a reason company cars in both of our offices have been in the shop for minor damage that the company was found at fault for because some dumbass engineer/manager was on the phone.

When you're telling someone about something and they feel like upping the ante by telling a story that's like yours but to the nth degree. gently caress you buddy, it's not a competition to see who had the worst day, ate the best food, etc. EDIT: Also super-mega-ultra fans who find out you have a passing interest in their fandom, which affects all your interactions forever after.

Aquatic Giraffe posted:and often block off the entrance and Why the hell do people feel the need to congregate right near doors? I get that once you go through you're officially leaving or parting ways or whatever, but come the gently caress on. Once the 1st or 2nd person has to squeeze by your little clique it's time to move out of the way or just go home. I manage a small business and make trips to Costco for paper and toiletries about every other week. This group of customers last month blocked the god drat door while I was carrying in load after load of heavy boxes of poo poo and didn't even make a token effort to leave room for me. Every single time through the door it was "Excuse me" or "Sorry, can I get through here" and they would just stand there. I just wanted to scream at them Get The gently caress Out Of The Way!!!!! but of course they're customers and I try to treat them with whatever respect I can muster.

This happens on the bus a lot - they stand there, with room to move out of your way as you awkwardly push past them, but they just kind of stare at you. And they don't even move, either. You like, have to literally push them out of the way with your body to get to the doors, and they look kind of vaguely annoyed, and it's like...are you pod people?

The horrible fear after you submit to a new job posting that you hosed up somewhere and somehow the fact you input 2009 instead of 2008 will mean your resume gets killed. There is a new opening at work that, if I get it, will cut my commute by 40 minutes. I am desperate to get the spot. But of course even if I am the only internal applicant, they have to open it to everyone, and do interviews, and....last year this time a similar spot was opened. I applied, and after the interview, I was told I was too valuable to move because the boss needed me near his office to help be his assistant. His not paid-as-assistant manager assistant. So I lost the place. I just applied for the second one and am panicking because one section on the application asked about past car accidents or traffic incidents. It didn't say how far to go back. So I listed the 2 tickets I remember. And it was only after I got home that I realized I forgot to include the accident in a work vehicle, and I can't even remember what year it happened but within the past 5. Stupid panic about work. And the loving hoops you have to jump through with applying for a position IN THE SAME drat COMPANY. There is a Starbucks that just opened across the street from a slew of office buildings. There is no crosswalk linking the two. So every day there are mad walks, sprints, and gaggles of people checking their phones as they meander over five lanes of loving traffic, sometimes STOPPING IN THE loving ROAD, to get their coffee. And then the walk back. I see several of these assholes almost get hit every day, and they always flip off the drivers and scream, like the drivers are at fault. There is a crosswalk half a block down! Use it!
