People who go to the doctor and demand antibiotics for a flu or cold make me irrationally angry. Although maybe it's rational anger, since the doctors giving into them demands has, in part, caused an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Especially as it fucks the rest of us up when we have a more serious infection and doctors just dismiss it as a cold and refuse to prescribe anything. A few winters back I had an awful throat/sinus infection which was causing me to cough so much that I was doing actual physical damage to my throat. It took three trips to the doctor before they were convinced that a hot lemon drink was not enough. Pet peeve: lazy loving doctors who don't listen.

I really want to know what on a person's phone could possibly be so loving important that they have to read/view it while walking up/down the stairs to a train station. What on earth couldn't wait until you're on the platform/outside? The train station near my apartment is above ground so it's not like these idiots are going to lose service either. Another pet peeve: people who ascend/descend the stairs and just stop directly in front of the stairs for no discernible reason. What goes on in these people's brains?

Tiggum posted:It is, if you're heating it to that temperature. I hate walking into a room with a heater on that brings the temperature over 20. If it's over that already, you don't need a heater. If it's hotter than that and you're cooling it then yeah, 23 is probably fine, although I generally dislike it when a heater or air conditioner makes the inside temperature more than 5 degrees different to the outside temperature. It just makes the transition way too unpleasant and means you have to change your clothes. I'm going to take a guess that you don't live somewhere where it gets terribly hot. Lemme tell you: if it's 32 degrees out, plus humidity pushing the heat index up to closer to 35 or 37, I sure as gently caress am not keeping the air conditioner set to 30. That poo poo goes down 20 or so. But then, heat is my pet peeve. I can't loving stand it. Give me cold any day of the weak, but god help me if the temperature climbs above 27 (80F is my cut-off), then I am just miserable. Heat makes me physically ill. I feel cranky and fatigued and nauseous. It sucks.

I actually won't object if it's that hot and people want to bring the temperature down by more than 5 degrees, but for myself, 5 is enough that it feels much better without making the transition to the outside temperature too extreme. It mostly annoys me in public places like shops where you go from 40 degrees to 20 and you're suddenly shivering in the middle of summer, or you go from 10 degrees to 25 and you're sweating in winter. And then you step back outside and the situation reverses.

Heat is also my pet peeve. It's the worst. I'd rather feel cold, damp, and clammy than dehydrated, woozy, and worn-out. But I thought of a couple more. I hate when people stare when you're doing something uninteresting or mundane. Like working out. I'm at the gym lifting a weight or doing a pushup or using a machine, and people stare. I'm not doing these things sexily, I'm in workout clothes and no makeup, just being a regular person working out, but people stare as if I'm doing a circus act. Today I was sitting alone in a conference room waiting for my boss and another person to arrive, and everyone who walked by had to peer in as if I were doing something interesting rather than checking emails and killing time. Another one: when people use the word "treat" as a reward. "Oh, i just have these every so often as a treat." "This is my monthly treat to myself." For some irrational reason, it irks me. A treat is something a dog gets when he's been a good boy, not an excuse for an adult to eat an ice cream. I have no problem with phrasing like "treat myself to..." or "it's on me, my treat." It's when it's used as some sort of reward for the person, it reminds me of dogs doing tricks and it bugs me. I really don't know why.

My mom finally decided to start paying bills online. So she had me set a few things up, but the Cox account was a disaster. I didn't have our log-in or passwords, but the system said we had signed up. I couldn't find anything in her little pad of passwords and finally got the login. But then in order to reset your password, you need to answer a SECRET QUESTION. And your SECRET ANSWER can't be sent to you. Nor can the tech guys at Cox tell you it. I had to play 20 loving questions with a tech who finally gave me enough hints to put together the secret loving answer and reset the password. The answer, btw, he said had been set a decade ago. And in those 10 years she has never ever used the online bill pay. You have our credit card info! I gave you all the other info! TELL ME THE loving SECRET ANSWER ALREADY. Peeve: when people honestly and truly believe that people who protest for better wages or treatment are just being lazy, that everyone can succeed if they just aren't lazy, and if you succeed, you are better than them, hands down. If you shop at Macys, you are better than the people who shop at KMart. A coworker of mine is a well-off white man and he constantly bitches about how fast food jobs are just for teenagers and if anyone wants $15 an hour they need to do better than fastfood. He shits on everyone and calls them communists if people want some form of a social safety net, and mocks the idea of any form of charity because "you get what you want and then you want more, and that doesn't make you a bad person! We punish the best people in the world because they are rich!" The best part is he urges everyone to donate to the Humane Society because animals, unlike humans, aren't lazy and they don't deserve to be put down because humans are stupid. He actively encourages people to adopt animals and to donate time and money and rescue dogs, but if you mention you donate to a foster kid instead, the putdowns and insults are something from Full Metal Jacket. He's Just World and FUGM in the flesh.

He smothered it in parmesan and of course complained about how thick it was. He does this with stuff like pasta salad, too.

I can smell those things from a hundred yards away outside on a clear day and feel physically ill from even the briefest exposure. Gods its foul. I completely agree with you. I do enjoy a cigar once every 3 months or so with a friend of mine that has a very impressive collection of high-quality cigars. They take usually about an hour to smoke. As per the rules of his house, this must be done as far as possible from the house and one needs to consider the prevailing winds. If you're not the one smoking them, they smell terrible and I'm all for banning cigars from everywhere but your own property. In MN, that is standard. Cigars are usually banned even on patios.

This is probably half unpopular opinion half pet peeve, but while we're on the topic of smoking: people who want to smoke weed in your place where it's not legalized and where you can face heavy fines by the landlord if you're caught smoking anything inside. I don't care if you smoke it, I do it sometimes too, just find somewhere else to do it. People always claim they have ways of making it not smell up the apartment, but to a non-regular weed smoker you can very clearly smell it for days. Also: friends who ask/pay you to drive them to go buy weed and "hide" it in your glovebox or whatever with the not-so-subtle implication they will pin it on you if we get pulled over and searched. I'm glad I'm not in college in anymore.

Doesn't your dad do something else really hosed up with his food, or am I still still thinking of another weird example you told where he needed to put parm on something? I swear to god we had a "shaky cheese" conversation a while back. I smoke, but I never do it inside, and I'd rather people not smoke pot and cigarettes in my house. We live in a city with three dispensaries every block, you can smoke outside. I can't stand the smell of pot at the best of times, but if we're having a party and it starts getting everywhere it starts to give me a headache.
