Rabbit Hill posted:Why do I always wake up right before the best part of a dream? Why? Not trying to be mean/talking directly to you, but one of my "peeves" this reminds me of is: people who describe their dreams to me in person. 9 times out of 10 it's just some rambling thing where every sentence ends with "for some reason" (or similar) and it's very obvious they are filling in the gaps they can't remember with really cool sounding/wacky stuff if they feel they are losing your attention. It always leads to someone butting in and sharing their wackier and wilder dream, someone says "that's cool...i can never remember my dreams", and then someone who describes a boring, standard sleep paralysis experience insisting that no, he really DID get abducted by demon aliens or whatever, and so on until the entire group has weighed in on loving dreams. Dreams are boring to everyone but the story teller, leave them in your head.

I don't understand dream chat either. I get really tired of the blank looks as they try to summon up another "and then" in a non-climactic, directionless narrative. Dreams are neuron monkeys at engram typewriters; write them down for your own future reminiscence but don't torture others.

It's like retelling a funny anecdote to people who weren't there, except 'You really just had to be there to get it', sounds extra stupid. Pet peeve of the day: My landlord raising my rent because of work she had to put into the septic system, which was revealed to have been DIY installed completely wrong. 'Sure, I'll pay for your dumb mistake, lady! I'm made of money!'

Annoying job advert demand #341 "Must have good sense of humour." WTF?! How the hell is that fair? It's subjective, unnecessary for job performance, and how the hell would you attest to that in an application? Then there's the possibility that your humour simply isn't suitable for the workplace.

This also happens if you are awoken by an external noise so maybe it's just something to do with how the brain works.

MisterBibs posted:My pet peeve is people I know and have confided this about bitching about their seasonal allergies. I know I should be respectful and supportive, but part of my brain wants me to scream "gently caress you, you get sniffles for a few mouths out of the year, and you can pop a pill to clear most of it up. I can't have something I've wanted since I was five because I will literally have to go to the hospital if I hug a dog that just wants to say hi. No, my inhaler doesn't solve it." I hate people who don't "get" allergies and think everything, regardless of severity, can be fixed with a pill, inhaler, nose spray or eye drops. Motherfucker, when I'm out to eat with family and my mom says "no seafood, I'm allergic", it doesn't mean give her a smartass attitude because her food needs to be prepped separate from seafood dishes. She could literally die within minutes and has been hospitalized more than once from food cross-contamination, most recent being a couple years ago when a restaurant cooked her chicken dish in the same pan as one they used for shrimp and oysters, without cleaning it first. Same goes for assholes who assume someone is using an allergy as an excuse to not eat something - I've had that happen with friends and family too, the whole "oh you're not allergic you're just being stubborn" garbage that makes me want to murder someone on the spot.

I've only started to give these types like my father a hard time because they come to visit me and tell me to order a bowl of iceburg lettuce with no dressing or anything else as the salad and I'm like "I have no loving idea how to say that in German, just order off the menu with no changes, you'll live". This of course makes me an insensitive prick in the eyes of the picky eaters of the world. If you go to another country with your weird preferences, at least learn how to ask for it in the local language instead of demanding i translate for you. e: vvv trust me, my dad has no valid medical reason to be picky. He just tells waiters if tomatoes or cheese touch his food he'll die, etc. There is a big difference between a baby picky eater and someone with a food allergy. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 21:13 on Jun 24, 2016 |

I know me, my dad and several other celiacs have been "glutened" while ordering off gf menus so restaurants lying about their food standards/ letting them slip because they think it doesn't matter is a pet peeve here too. I guess picky eaters lying about allergies is bad too but it doesn't make me vomit and poo poo myself so.

(Likely those self-same assholes). I work/have worked in restaurants and the amount of kitchen employees who just lose their loving minds every time someone goes, "No tomatoes, please" is amazing. I feel oddly gleeful when one of my regulars comes in and orders the weirdest modded dish ever, aside from the fact that he tips well and is nice (pastrami sandwich, all ingredients must be separate including bread, with a side of cocktail sausages instead of fries). Like, who cares? Unless the dish is impossible (like my favourite, "Rare steak with no blood"), or would make the dish inedible, who gives a gently caress? Most of the time modded food is like, "Extra mustard" or something really easy. Content: Forgetting something at home and being just far enough away that it'd be too much of a hassle to go home and get it.

People for whom it is apparently necessary to be audibly startled at the sight of a person doing non-routine maintenance in their building. I can understand (but still find it slightly annoying) if you didn't expect to see somebody on a ladder half in the drop ceiling 4 feet from the door you opened and you let out a little shriek. But if I'm halfway down a hallway that usually has people in it anyway and i'm just replacing a lightbulb I know I did not startle you in any way that requires you to make noise. And I know the building manager emailed everyone in the building telling them I would be here doing this thing. And I meant people, not one person; multiple peopel do this in multiple buildings where i work.

So, instead of putting the pastrami on the rye, they're just put next to each other. The busboy then leaves packs of mustard on the side. I guess it was a little flamboyant to use the word "all", suggesting there were more than two steps to this sandwich.

Even if it was more, isn't that order basically "get out the ingredients for this sandwich, and then just stop, you're done." That's less work than normal and involves no extra steps.

For some reason that made me think of another pet peeve of mine: my aunt. No matter what restaurant we go to, she asks for a bowl of plain white rice with butter. Graduation party at Red Robin's? Bowl of rice, butter. Trendy bistro? Butter, rice, bowl. Greasy spoon diner? Well, you better bet your rear end she's orderin' the rice & butter. One time she got a bowl of white rice and butter at a cafe that I didn't even know served rice. I thought they just had sandwiches and salads, but there she had a bowl of steaming white rice with butter. Edit: Y'know what, speaking of my aunts... I have another pet peeve. People who don't go to the doctor. My one aunt avoided going to the doctor for her arthritis symptoms for so long that she got gangrene and had to have fingers amputated. THEN she avoided going to the doctor for so long AGAIN that a resulting infection (probably from not taking her pills) killed her. So, my grandma got to bury her first daughter because she didn't like going to the doctor. I lost a tooth during a period of intense financial struggle, and am pissed off that anyone would choose to not use a resource that they have free access to. Have some goddamn respect for your privileges. Brawnfire has a new favorite as of 06:08 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Technically, rare steak comes with no blood  We have a customer who comes into the pizza place I work at. This really nice old lady with a metal amputee prosthetic and a hook for an arm. She always orders a large Hawaiian pizza. Our hawaiian comes with ham and pineapple. She orders no cheese, no ham,extra pineapples. It's literally a piece of dough with sauce and a mountain of pineapples sitting on it, but she comes in every week, like clockwork to order it. And she always, always fucks me up because I never read the receipt and just assume the customer is ordering regular old Hawaiian pizza.

Whenever a spider gets in my apartment I can't stand it. It's not arachnophobia, I can take care of them myself, it's just really unpleasant. I think it's because of the way they move, they're really fast and completely silent, which is jarring when you see them scuttle, especially trying to catch one that's particularly tenacious.

They treat it like you're just being a pain or haven't gone to dozens of doctors to get diagnosed. Just a hand wave "oh take a pill and you can eat shellfish trust me" attitude about a possible life threatening issue.

My mother always gets hot tea at restaurants. She then proceeds to request more hot water constantly. The teabag is now useless, but she still asks for more water. No lemon, no sugar, just water. She'll then make you sit for 15 minutes after everyone is done eating so she can "finish her tea". It is hell. I'm 38 year sold and I still can't get over it. You don't need to finish it! It's just hot water at this point. Who orders hot tea with Mexican food? Honestly?

Verizon customer service. Their phone support and chat support idiots are useless and unhelpful. Send out one angry tweet and suddenly you're their #1 customer and they're bending over backwards to help you within minutes. Maybe if they took some of those people whose job is to sit there monitoring the Twitter account and had them answer phones people wouldn't have to resort to public shaming to get service? Just a thought.

People that dilly dally with their shopping carts in stores. You know the kind: slowly shuffling down the exact middle of each aisle so no one can pass them while resting their arms on the grab bar of the cart in a relaxed position. Oh look! They found something on the shelf! *parks cart sideways across the entire aisle while proceeding to read everything on the label for the next ten minutes* GET THE HOLY MOTHERFUCK ASSBALLS OUT OF THE WAY!!

Also stores who's aisles are too narrow for two carts to pass side by side. What the gently caress!? Maybe post signs what direction we're supposed to be travelling in or at least buy carts that are narrow enough to pass each other in the aisle! Granted, this doesn't happen often, but once was enough.
