I don't like mayonnaise being on sandwiches willy-nilly, but that's because I have a food intolerance towards eggs (specifically, egg whites). I don't break out in hives or throw up or anything major, but if I have quiches or macaroons or mayonnaise, then a few hours later I end up feeling a bit queasy. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's not fun and I'd rather avoid it.

cash crab posted: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. Back in the deep dark days of 1999 I used to TA and do guest lectures on a few subjects. The sound of the early zipping up of bags would drive me insane. "I have ten minutes you fuckstains. It doesn't take long to put your poo poo away! Shut up and listen!" I wish I could have said that.

Admittedly they just got a new update so this may no longer be true, but I like how iOS does it - it won't ever accept what it recognises as a swear into the autocorrect dictionary because ~the children~, but at the same time if you do type a swear accurately it won't try to change it . Now if only it didn't try to change other accurately typed words on me because I typed another word one letter off once.

fizzymercy posted:You're right, a jet cold glass of water when you're thirsty is literally the most amazing thing in the world. People who hate water are broken. Thirst makes everything wet taste good. Just like hunger is the best sauce. Every time I came inside on the farm back in the day, I'd take a long drink of cold water from the tap. It tasted like the nectar of the gods. When someone brought you a big thermos of water when you were in the field, you'd have tears in your eyes and be so happy. Water is awesome and is best drank from a garden hose.

I can't stand it when autocorrect tries to correct my correctly-spelled word to another word. I mean come on, let it be. I won't tell your boss that you didn't correct my correctly spelled word to another word even if it was the better word. Also AAAAARRGHHH why why why does my autocorrect pull in emails from my address book as potential corrections. Now I have an unending list of email address that appear instead of whatever I wanted and of course they are 10-20 characters long. I try to type "and" and it drops in "AndyVeeblefitzer702@penismail.com." It drives me loving nuts.

bradzilla posted:People who have slow hearing comprehension. I'm like this, and I feel very self-conscious about it. My brain/thinking is very "slow" (for lack of a better term) and I have a very poor short-term memory, so it takes me a longer time than most people to process the things I hear. I can't understand the lyrics of most "fast" music I listen to (like a lot of pop or r&b) because it's too fast, for example. Usually if I do the "immediately ask to repeat" thing, it's because I wasn't able to process part (if not all) of what you said and can't remember. I learned over time not to interrupt in the middle of the repeated question, but the reason why I used to do that is that the first part is what I didn't hear the first time, so after hearing the first few words of the question I'm finally able to mentally assemble the whole thing. To be clear, the reason why people like me ask to hear the question a second time isn't because it wasn't loud enough the first time, but because, for whatever reason, they weren't able to mentally process or remember what you said. Henchman of Santa posted:Any attempt to make water "delicious" is loving awful too. I accidentally had some grape flavored water a while back and I almost threw up because it tastes like the bowel prep solution they make you drink ahead of colonoscopies. I had to mix the super-strong pre-colonoscopy laxative with Sprite, and it permanently ruined Sprite for me. I can't taste it without remembering the vile way that medicine tasted after being mixed with it. God that was awful, I felt like I was going to die for hours. You Are A Elf posted:I've come across people like this for as long as I can remember and I can never understand how someone can have so much contempt and absolute vile hatred for such innocuous creatures. Even if say, a cat has done some incredibly minor harm in their life like a stray making GBS threads in some bushes on their property, or someone's cat who was unfamiliar with them swatted them because they were scared, it's never mild annoyance like "Gee, cats can be dicks sometimes," it's always vitriolic "gently caress CATS I loving HATE THEM AND WANT THEM ALL DEAD!" While I definitely wouldn't say "I hate cats" to someone who lost a pet cat (or anything indicating any dislike of them for that matter), we used to have a problem where our neighbor's cats would just kill every bird/small animal nearby and leave them lying around everywhere. Obviously this isn't a problem for people who keep their cats indoors, but it seems unavoidable that the cats will murder a bunch of random animals if you let them outside.

Maybe this should go in unpopular opinions but...I'm peeving out man. We have a bunch of newbies and a couple of them are huge comic book nerds, to the delight of a couple of my other coworkers, who like to pretend they are male stereotypes. They are actually the most ineffectual chest-beaters I have ever met with huge ego problems and it seems like everything gets filtered through their comic-book understanding of life. Anyway, at minute 10 of lunch, the conversation about Goku vs. Superman got loving SERIOUS and the rest of us couldn't get them to shut the gently caress up about it so we could all enjoy the conversations we had been having previously. So, peeved about how seriously adults get into nerd culture properties as if there was anything of value beyond escapist entertainment just like any other stupid thing average people consume.

Facebook image macros (often taken as a screenshot from Twitter) where somebody obliterates a straw man and it's supposed to be an earth shattering moment. Like there's one going around where the writer just keeps dropping sick burns on a dumb All Lives Matter person and my feed is full of people just going "holy poo poo, mic drop!" and "say it again for the people in the back!" Incidentally I hate those phrases.

"I saw a duck", predictably, turned into one or two other phrases that brought up a lot of questions for the recipient.

I hate when people know I have problems with depression/anxiety and every time I turn down/cancel plans, they assume that's why... or, even worse, they try to use it to guilt me into hanging out. "Come on, I think it would be healthy for you to come! You should push yourself to be more social, maybe you'll feel better!" Wow ok pal thanks for assuming you know my mental state better than I do. I must be submitting to my depression, it couldn't be that I have to work super early tomorrow, I had a lousy day and I'm super loving exhausted, or that I just don't feel like doing whatever you feel like. Unrelated, I also really hate that thing people do sometimes where instead of saying hello, excuse me, thank you or some other polite little phrase, they just soundlessly mouth it at you. What is the point of that? If you're already moving your lips, just expend the 2 extra calories it takes to push air through your mouth and say the words! I don't mean people who are on the phone, either... there is no reason for these people to try to be silent.

Software-related annoyances: Loading animations that give no indication of what it is working on. What was wrong with the old-fashioned progress bars? With those you could at least tell if it was getting stuck, and if so, on what part of the process so you could try and figure out what's wrong. The endless spinny circle things though don't tell you anything, and every time I think it's stuck and hit back, the page ends up finishing loading but i have to go through it all over again because I pushed back. Also: software updates that break things and/or purposefully remove functionality. "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" is a cliche but I wish more people, software developers or anyone really, would follow it. That's not to say stop trying to add new features, but if I update something and have to learn a new way to do something I already could do prior to the update, it's annoying, even if the new way is "better".

People who just loooooove the smell of books. Old books, new books, book stores, etc. There are even candles and crap that tout themselves as having the new book smell. Book smell is decaying paper, rotting glue, and ink farts, with an optional side of dry mold and roach poop if it's a old used book. There, I said it, and I'd say it again if I had to.

Hardcordion posted:People (the average joes who aren't trying to troubleshoot, I mean) get more annoyed by loading times if they can see how slowly the process is going and how much more they have to go. Also, most of the time when a progress bar is "stuck" it's not actually stuck, it's just working on a large file or a long step, and the general inaccuracy of progress bars is just unable to correctly guess at the actual amount of progress being made. Since force-quitting and leaving your installation in an undefined state is basically the worst thing you can do in this situation, a progress bar and their normally-rapid feedback cycle is more of a detriment than a help. Better to keep it vague; an animation and maybe a cycle of messages like, "hey we're still working, everything's cool, don't turn off the power or remove the memory card," is probably better for overall computer stability.

One of my friends works at a winery in their wine tasting shop area and I'm fascinated by the stuff that drives her bananas. Tourists handle wine bottles the wrong way all the time! Other than storage, I didn't know there was a right way to pick up a wine bottle off a shelf. She probably listens to me and thinks, books are so much fun what's the harm in taking a sniff?
