Can we all just agree that if someone ain't an rear end in a top hat to you, you won't be one to them?  On topic: the women and leaving toilet seats up thing annoys me. I don't pee on the seat, then bitch that you didn't leave it up so I wouldn't pee on it. If you ain't gonna turn on a light and look before you sit, you're kind of an idiot.

My pet peeve is people who say awful poo poo and then try to switch to "it's just a joke, quit being so X". Especially when other people side with it being a "joke" when it really obviously wasn't, just to get you to shut up.

If they offer you a glass of the good scotch, drink it. If they see you like it and offer you a bottle to take, you decline. If you mention your car is acting up and the host offers to take a look at it, feel free to take him/her up on it. If the host offers to call his mechanic friend and come take a look at a later date, you decline. If you're in a "help yourself" situation, you're only really free to help yourself to what they have prepared for you. If the host has not prepared things for you (fresh towels, shower poo poo, food and drink, a dinner service or buffet style at a dinner party) then they are in breach and you're now in an uncomfortable situation. This part actually makes perfect sense to me, and reflects the way I was raised (by Yankees and Midwesterners in suburban Oregon). It feels like a complicated dance of inter-related rules and gray areas when you type it all out like that, but the interaction itself feels natural.

If someone offers me a bottle of something that I would like, and I say "yes, thank you," how is that rude? I understand that going to your friend's house with a tote bag and taking all their groceries out of the pantry is wrong, but if someone offers me a thing -- whatever that thing is -- and I take that thing graciously, how is this in any way a rude/wrong/incorrect thing to do? It's really easy to not offer people things that you don't want to give them.

They didn't WANT to offer it, but it would be impolite not to, and you should know that. They are trapped by the same rules you are. There is no escape. Bless all of our hearts.

That's funny: my pet peeve is men who bitch about this when they could just, you know, put the toilet seat back down. Or piss sitting down. Women need it down to urinate, deal with periods and defecate. Men need it down to poo poo. So the seat should spend the majority of the time down anyway. Obviously the answer is to leave the bog lid down so everyone is equally inconvenienced, and also so that the flush spray doesn't land on your toothbrush.

I store my toothbrush in my bedroom so that I can just piss all over the seat then half-assedly wipe it up with a single swipe with toilet paper then flush with the lid open. An alternative is to put one of those weird fuzzy covers on the lid so you can dry the seat by closing the lid momentarily.

At work we have assigned rotations to clean the staff bathrooms. Most people do it without complaint, but there is one guy who refuses to clean the ladies' room. He will take a write-up instead of cleaning it, and it's not like the room is filthy either. He just refuses to do it. Then again his method of cleaning the mens' room is by spraying everything with aerosol Lysol so maybe it's a good thing.

It's a joke, gawd. Women don't poop or pee at all. Except when camping. We just bitch about toilet seats because we like jerking men around.

My phone is getting a bit old, and every time it decides to go unresponsive (even if it's only for half to a full minute) is enough to internally* drive me up a wall. I just want to do something, don't make me play the "Turn off the screen and turn it on to confirm it's hanging because the phone didn't even go to the lock screen" minigame. Another phone-specific pet peeve is Google's map app. Generally works fine, but I wish it'd more often put up that little alert that you're going to be taking a left or a right soon after the current turn. It shows it sometimes, but never when it'd be really helpful to know that Im going from a far-left turn to a far-right turn in 10 seconds. * Degrees of internally, of course. The kid next door has learned what impersonations are, and the one he has of me is me starting at my phone with a slight  .

In a couple of days, I'm going to be visiting my mother for the first time in four years. Because of my schedule, I can stay only three days. She wants me to spend this time 'fixing her computer*.'  *'fixing her computer' = she hasn't run Malwarebytes or any of its ilk in the same four years since I moved away, and blames me that her computer runs too slowly and that 'all of these pop ups keep coming on the screen when I try to use it.' She claims it's because I installed Microsoft Office on it back then and that I've left 'too many icons' on the desktop. She has maybe ten icons on the desktop, all of which are daily-used things. Her issues have NOTHING to do with the fact that she never runs a virus checker or CCleaner or a registry cleaner, &c, is still using XP, and clicks on every goddamned banner ad/downloads fwd: fwd: fwd: attachments from the demifuckwits at her church, or anything like that.

Websites that try and fail to implement a "jump to last read" post feature. I'm looking at you, somethingawful. 9 times out of 10 I click the last read button and it just jerks me around a bunch and pops me near the top of the page even if there was only one unread post on that page. Basically any page that causes the content to move up and down. I can't even read the news without the article jumping up and down as videos load or ads pop up. Just make me wait a little longer for the whole page to load if you can't do it right.

That happens on Tumblr a lot where it'll try to hide a really long image set by compressing it after you've scrolled past it, but it takes a bunch of other posts with it, and when you try to scroll back up to read what you've just jumped past it re-loads the image set. It's like the webpage version of that awkward dance you do when you're trying to get past someone on the sidewalk and you both dodge in the same direction. Also: when the youtube video ad loads in crisp 40k 600fps instantly and then the actual content is 144p and keeps pausing to buffer.

When news sites autoplay video versions of their articles. If I wanted to watch the news I'd turn on my dang television, but I don't and I won't so quit trying to guess what I want. At least some sites now have the decency to have a few second countdown before the video plays so I can cancel it before it starts.

Ugh, I've got a new one. When people on the internet talk really proudly about how they despise aristocracy/kingship/whatever. Like, they're not wrong, but they've never had to scrape to a baron or whatever. And no, ceremonial first world tourist shows don't count. It has as much relevance to their lives as hating the Janissary corps or the imperial Chinese civil service. I think it's just the sheer pride people have, unironically saying things like 'I bow to no one'. You don't get to be smug about standing up to something that's been dead for decades.

I get that jump-around effect on a lot of places, especially if it's an image-heavy page on my mobile. Whatever system in place doesn't immediately set images to whatever size they are. A 10 pixel placeholder becomes a 800 pixel image, multiplied by X images, means a lot of posts suddenly expanding in size.

In the same vein, people who obsess about whatever monarchy and actually thinks they deserve their privileges. Especially if it is the monarchy of some other country  I live in a republic and there are like five different magazines for these freaks.

Tying in with this, people that bitch about politics and then...do absolutely nothing. Sorry, but when someone doesn't participate or vote or make their voice heard, then complains because poo poo doesn't go their way, it's on THEM. No excuses, none of this "not my fault, I didn't vote for him/vote at all" bullshit because YOU are part of the problem. When you do nothing, you change nothing - take some loving responsibility, be an adult and get off your lazy rear end.

I don't vote. There are many reasons as to why, but the biggest one is that, statistically speaking, my single vote will never determine the outcome of an election. And to say that just because I choose to not vote my political opinion is instantly invalidated? While 87 year old Mabel, who has dementia, and always votes Republican because she finds Reagan handsome, is worth listening to. Come on now.

It's just the left tries to appeal to rational people and the right tries to appeal to brainwashed idiots, but it's the same poo poo either way unless someone like W or Glenn Beck gets into office. Then it's even worse. Like, if I'm gonna vote it's literally just gonna be to cancel out a vote for the complete nutjob.
