HOLY gently caress posted:Too bad it's just jell-o shots though. I can't handle that poo poo anymore I'm telling you, half naked or not, have someone walk around with a bucket of beers at a bar and it would make bank. Can't tell you how many times I've finished my cocktail for the night, we end up staying at the bar a little longer and I want a beer, but...effort. I hate the brew bikes too, even though they don't come down my street and have never inconvenienced me in any way. I just hate seeing a bunch of doofuses having a good time. I really do, and then that makes me feel guilty. More than once I've been outside enjoying a coffee at my favorite place and one of these comes by and everyone on the thing is singing along to, like, play that funky music white boy, and WOOOOO! and waving at me and everyone else out there. I live here fuckers. Y'all are treating me like I'm some animal you can feed and pet at some urban wildlife safari. Ugh, I'm the worst. Go ahead have fun, don't mind me. Also, that d-bag bar I was talking about earlier? Low Brau. I don't know why we keep trying to go in there after 9 pm. It's the wurst. Bast Relief has a new favorite as of 02:44 on Sep 19, 2016 |

I can't handle that poo poo anymore I don't actually know whether these were invented in Portland, but I'll just go ahead and apologize for the likelihood that they were. Imagine trying to drive in east Portland, where the streets were all built in the '20s and '30s and are just barely wide enough for two lanes of normal traffic, but then all the old houses were divided up into apartments and now the streets are so packed with parked cars that you're lucky to get one lane down the middle and oncoming traffic has to just do its best to leapfrog its way along at half the posted speed limit. Stick one of those things into the mix, chock-a-block with yuppies who are just so glad they get to go check out the brewery scene without having to park in a neighborhood with black people, pedaling blearily to propel the beast up a 2-degree incline, and it would be faster to just abandon your car and walk.

I hate this in conference talks too, especially if they don't even try very hard to keep their voices down. Whenever I do overhear what they are actually saying it's always some unimportant bullshit that could easily wait until the coffee break or whatever to discuss. At least try to appear like you have an ounce of respect for the person speaking.

I, too, am reminded of a school related peeve: People who start packing up their poo poo as loudly as possible when it gets down to 3 minutes before the end of class. Could you come up with a quieter way of expressing the fact that you have absolutely no respect for the professor? I dunno what these asshats do with all the free time they accumulate by getting out the door 10 seconds before anyone else.

I have some classes where people leave ten minutes before class ends. This class ends at six; you probably don't have another class right away, and even if you do, ten minute breaks are provided to accommodate this. Finally, our campus is small enough that, with a few exceptions, every single classroom is less than ten minutes away from each other. Want a coffee or something? Be late for the next class. It's way less distracting to show up late than it is to leave early. I am still unclear on if it's appropriate to turn to someone in class and go, "Hey, could you keep it down, please?"

You know, what's strange is that in the only class I've ever taken where the professor made a habit of letting people out late, no one ever made a move until he was well and truly done. I suppose because it was a grad level course that only took place once a week so everyone was already kind of dead inside and already resigned to the prospect of spending too much time in classrooms.

It seems like the noisy guy below us is now purposely antagonizing us with his music.  He knows it really does upset us now after he interacted with us this weekend. He did it later when I was alone in the apartment and I had a really bad panic attack.He did it today, at 10am, when we were getting ready to go out for a doctor's appointment. And as soon as we came home about 15 minutes ago, he started playing the same thing he always does. Loud thumping poo poo. Why?????? I scheduled an appointment with the main office for this property tomorrow and we're gonna bring in our 'evidence' for at least the loving fire code violations with his grill, and my logs of when he plays music, and the information we've been given. The person I talked to on the phone said 'we'll see if we can escalate this for review and maybe evict him' but idk if they really mean that. All I know is that if he got evicted, those last 30 days are gonna be hell.  He'll probably do it more, louder, at worse times. At that point we could call the police but there's not much they can do.

White people doing accoustic guitar covers of songs, even songs that already use an accoustic guitar. I nearly chopped of my big toe when a exposed rusted bike handlebar fell on it while I was wearing flip-flops. Having to listen to some "self-taught" guitarist play their version of songs by the Foo Fighters and Lorde is a far more painful experience.

Having dealt with my own neighbor bullshit (which is still not nearly as bad as this) for just the last 5-6 weeks I want to read about one of these cunts finally getting ruined for once. I think I'd go quite literally insane if my situation was as bad as yours. I don't have panic attacks but I'm an extremely light sleeper and very sensitive to sound, so it has pretty much ruined my experience with everything but my job (and getting 3-4 hours of sleep most work nights has made that pretty miserable on some days too). Again: Why do so many of these people have to be horrible twats about it?

When people get crazy when you don't respond to their text immediately. Examples: 2pm How are you doing? 230 pm Are you ok? 245 pm I'm worried 3 pm Are you alive? 100 am hey what's up 130 am why are you ignoring me Do these people not realize these could be reasons why I didn't reply immediately: -on toilet -in meeting -at work -at doctor -at loud event -asleep -phone accidentally left on silent (ok I do this a lot and these people should realize it by now) And a multitude of other reasons ? I wish I could say like, "you know 100 years ago people had to wait for letters, and 30 years ago you only had land lines so you'd have been sol if the person wasn't home." And of course there's the opposite end of the spectrum, which is when people don't respond to your texts at ALL. Hey you said you wanted to do [ x ], do you want to do it this weekend? *crickets* E: another one: when people are beating around the bush; specifically, in regards to sex/making out/etc. I don't need dinner or flirting or whatever I don't care just be like "hey I'm dtf lets go" or make a move. We could have had sex 10 times by now! Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 05:45 on Sep 20, 2016 |

My Lovely Horse posted:A while ago I saw a comic that was basically about that sentiment and featured the line "how boring the world would be without doofuses; but do there have to be quite so many of them?" I one day realized that if it wasn't for annoying people, I would have 25% less to talk about. About noisy neighbors: On the very first night my next door neighbors moved in they had a horrible blow-out party. I don't know why anyone living in an apartment or condo with shared walls even buys sound equipment like that. We were all nice to each other the first time I talked to them. After that I would just go straight to the property manager every time they cranked up the bass. I don't care if that's chicken poo poo. I made a good case to the property manager that I was a good renter, and this place is expensive, and I really object to these guys splitting the same rent three ways and treating the place like a party house...oh wait there's only two on the lease? Well then. The douchebags tried being petty for awhile but they have finally cooled down once they were threatened with eviction. Anyway, I know people will tell you that confronting these kinds of people means you're just asking for retaliation, but after decades of growing up across from a frat house/rental, I have no loving patience for that poo poo, and most of the time their retaliation results in them getting kicked out. There's also this weird group of Jefferson State yokels across the street who are always "Just testing mah speakers!" The noise actually makes my windows rattle. I asked the couple in the house next door how they could stand that poo poo, and they said they hated it, but just turn on their own music and retreat to the back of their house. That's ridiculous. You guys own your own property and you can't even enjoy it in peace? When I marched over to the loud place, they were scared for me, but the weirdos were actually pretty chill. I still have to remind them every once in awhile though. If we all had the cajones, this kind of behavior wouldn't be so prevalent.

Man reading this thread, I am pretty glad of the abusive couple (as in they both abuse eachother and also their own livers) next door being my worst neighbors, the loudest thing is just some yelling and an occasional broken dish. My pet peeve is pie. Why is it so hard to get good, simple pie? No store, I don't want an air-vacuumed piece of cardboard with few berries in it that has been sitting there for a week - it may be pie under the strict legal definition of the word but it is also poo poo. No trendy cafe I don't want that thing with seeds on it. It looks ok and I might try it some other time but don't you tell me that is pie. No expensive cafe I don't want that 6,50€ thing buried under three different layers of chocolate, some white extra-sugary stuff and what I assume are pieces of a fruit I've never seen before. Looks very nice but for gently caress sakes give an opton for us who just want a crust and berries on it. I just want some semi-freshly baked blueberry pie man

Going to an outside authority just puts people on the defensive. Being polite to college students who are going to party no matter what is pointless. They tend to nod and agree to everything you're saying and then just go back to their noise once 10 minutes have passed. They're only going to be there for the year, at most, why should they care about an eviction process that will take years? Also, in america, white bread and whole wheat bread is just bleached flour vs unbleached flour. At least in regard to store-brand varieties.

People who have slow hearing comprehension. : "What do you think of the color red?" "Sorry?" "What do you think of--""Answer to statement."So now you not only made me repeat myself(  ) but also cut me off in the middle of my repeated sentence( ).Also people with bad hearing in general who get mad when I repeat what I said louder. "You don't have to yell, geeze!" Oh really if that were true you would've heard me the first loving time.

I really hope yall can work something out, it really isn't fair and I don't understand why it's so hard to be courteous and realise that, hey, you live in an apartment, with other people, and you can't do the same stuff you would in a stand-alone house. When we got to the property management office this morning, they said our appointment was never put in the system or whatever. I was like, lmao, oh good. But they said that it was supposed to exist, though, and we were able to talk to someone. She seemed sympathetic and helpful. She made a copy of my noise log, stressed the whole ‘our phones can recognise the songs because they’re so loud’ (which luckily she understood how that worked), and we gave her our copies of the pictures of the grill. She said they’d send someone over this afternoon to talk about the grill with him, but I don't know if they did since we went out to avoid any drama, and it looks like the grill is in the same spot. She said that grills are supposed to be 20 feet from the building (fire code says 15 but okay!!), even when not in use, and especially when in use under a wooden balcony. And we just gave her what information we could on the noise, and the grill, and she said she’d get stuff reviewed with supervisors. I can only speculate on what the previous tenants in our unit dealt with. They probably just left at the end of their lease and didn't deal with the guy. No idea when he moved in, but he was here before us. I hope that us putting the effort into fighting for this will be enough.

I mean, my husband is very polite and both him and my brother work ~retail~ so they have that retail facade when necessary, and they weren't even super assertive/demanding when they asked him to turn it down. Just a basic 'your music is coming through our floor' statement, and he got hostile. I don't know if anyone ever confronted him before. I don't know if it bothers/bothered anyone else. We try really hard to keep noise down and I would absolutely be apologetic and do my best to fix something if someone knocked on our door and said 'x is too loud'. Hell, with my poo poo anxiety, if they were rude and yelling I'd still be like 'ok sorry' I didn't want to deal with the police at all, but I'm definitely 100% okay with filing a noise complaint with the management and doing all the stuff we did this morning at their office. It's not up to me to settle this anymore. He's clearly not open to discussion, mediation, whatever. So it's their job to enforce their lease, and hopefully we can move on with our lives.

Seeing old people complain about millennials on Facebook. It's all over my LinkedIn too for some reason. I'm a little too old to be called a millennial so I'm not personally offended or anything. It wouldn't be so annoying except they keep moving the goalposts so they can get right to the heart of the matter, which is resenting people who are still young. Just a few hours ago I see this meme where it's a kid in a coffee shop looking at his phone and the text reads something like "NEVER FOUGHT A WAR NEVER WORKED/THINKS WORLD IS UNFAIR" and the comments were like cancer. One little interaction stuck out to me though: "This generation NEVER works and thinks the world just OWES THEM six figures! Get Real!" "I graduated and still can't find a job. I want to work maybe you could help me out?" "You kids are SO ENTITLED. You think the world just owes you a job???" Made my blood loving boil and it wasn't even directed at me.

I barely hang out with somebody specifically because of this. I'm not about to sit around waiting for a response that may never happen, and then hang out with him while he answers random texts and browses reddit. Like, I get that I"m not that exciting or dynamic of a person, but drat that's just rude.

Spotify ads for music nowhere near the genre I'm listening to. Aren't you all about curating my musical experience, Spotify? The only way the ads are effective is that I might (but definitely won't) pay just to get them to go away. I listen to chill, folky stuff usually, and the ads are all 'Mega pop hits explosion' bullshit.
