Adulting got the wrong definition. It should be the opposite of babying, like: "Do you need help cutting your steak?" "Mooom, stop babying me!" vs "And then, you need to work out the correct tax bracket, multiply it by..." "MALCOLM! Stop adulting me!"

If you use Firefox, it shows up in Task Manager as "firefox" and as "plugin container." That's fine. If you use Chrome, it shows up in Task Manager as "chrome" and "chrome" and "chrome" and "chrome", like for some reason it always lists itself five times in Task Manager even if there's only one instance open with a single tab. I guess they don't have it renaming the plugin containers or whatever the way Firefox does? Anyway, it annoys me

YES I DO, THAT'S WHY I CLICKED ON YOUR drat VIDEO. DON'T WORRY ABOUT BORING ME, I AIN'T TRYING TO BE ENTERTAINED RIGHT NOW SHOW ME HOW TO DO THIS IMPOSSIBLE THING,

What's the point of not recording, or editing out, important steps? I got my first ever smartphone in the summer and there were no loving instructions about where to open the phone to put in the sim card, what side of the card faced up, what was down, etc. The videos online showed people unboxing the loving phone and setting it up, but not the sim card at all. Reminds me of the first time I set up a canister filter. In huge letters it read FILL CANISTER WITH WATER BEFORE RUNNING IT. YOU MUST PRIME THE FILTER OR IT WILL NOT RUN. Note: prime and filling it with water means the same thing. Prime is also a common chemical used to dechlor your tank. So a little confusion could have been dealt with had someone just wrote it better! Also, filling a canister filter with Prime conditioner will cost you close to $100 of Prime. In a world where most everyone has access to texting, email, and Facebook, there is really no reason not to be able to contact someone. In other words, if I haven't heard from you, friend, in a month when we usually talk every day, and I leave voicemails and emails and texts and you still don't reply (but I see you active on Facebook), I am assuming I missed whatever fight we had and you're pissed about, and will eventually stop contacting you. Cue person two months later exclaiming they were soooo busy and had a wrist injury and just had no time to talk! Why didn't I contact them sooner! Why am I upset? Why the gently caress am I the one responsible to keep badgering you to insure you're loving alive?

You don't know why he or she went into radio silence, so don't automatically assume it's an injury or some beef. Sometimes people just want to shut their phones off and do something other than trade inane, inconsequential comments with people online. Getting upset serves no purpose and makes it look like you're wielding guilt like it's a goddamn sword. Next time, try "Hey, saw you went dark for a while. Bet it was nice to get away!" instead of hourly/daily messages saying "A BLOO BLOO I WAS SO UPSET LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME" gently caress, I hate that cell phones/text messaging/social media has created the expectation of instant gratification. I'm out kayaking. Or maybe building a house. Or, poo poo, I may just be marathoning anime and don't want any interruptions. Maybe I did fall and break my leg or get in a car crash or get leukemia or what the hell ever but that's my business and I'll tell you if and when I want to. I wish people would quit freaking the gently caress out when someone doesn't immediately respond on command as if he or she is the most important thing on the goddamn planet

(Sorry, Cowslips.) Twelve days dark and the police show up twice in the same day. "So-and-so is really concerned. Are you guys fighting?" Are you loving serious? You called the cops twice because you hadn't heard from me and told them you were scared I was mad at you? This was just a friend, by the way, not like my fiance, kid, boss, or something. Not even a friend I talked to on a daily basis. "Yeah she's really scared for you. Are you okay? You should talk to her." gently caress, I will, if only to get her to stop wasting police officers' goddamn time. I wasn't even mad at her. Or dead. I was just (surprise!) busy.

I hate when people get weird about me not liking shows that are considered "classics". I never gave a poo poo about Buffy or Rugrats, the former not out of dislike or disdain but out of a lack of shits given and the latter because I found the babytalk jokes obnoxious and repetitive and hated the artstyle, but if I ever mention it publicly all I get is contarian answers like "It's a classic, how can you hate it?" which is not a rebuttal due to it being my opinion.

Theres a left turn only lane that I take to get to work and it seems like every other day someone just can't comprehend that a person on a bicycle needs to take a left. During my commute today I had a person ride up my rear end, wildly honking before going around me yelling "Get in the right lane rear end in a top hat!" It's left turn only, why do you think i'm in it?

I was able to negotiate a transfer to a top floor apartment in my current apartment community, so I'll be able to get away from my oval office of a neighbor in just two months, and will have no risk of someone above me being like this again. When there was nonstop stomping and banging and general chaos for 5 loving hours straight yesterday (who throws a party on some random-rear end tuesday? what the gently caress?) it was a very comforting thing to know. Having to live surrounded by noise and assholes who don't care is awful and I hope you can move somewhere better soon.

Nerds who think it's the height of comedy to casually throw misogynistic "jokes", or think people wanting gender equality in things is inherently funny. My brother was watching an Arch Warhammer video (ugh...) where he "takes down" a feminist article about how there isn't great female representation in Warhammer 40k and god drat does it really make me not want to like nerdy things anymore. Maybe this isn't really a pet peeve and more of a legitimate complaint, but holy crap does it get on my nerves. Here's the "take down" video, if anyone was interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB5PHxHxq-M. Chip McFuck has a new favorite as of 21:55 on Dec 14, 2016 |

Same here. I love movies, and I'm working my way through a lot of them, but I just didn't grow up in a household where movies were seen as anything other than a time-waster. Even as I was watching some incredibly highly-regarded movies, my mom would just walk in and say, "What's this garbage?" I didn't grow up in some isolated home-schooled environment. My parents just didn't care.

I work security in a hospital, and our office is next to a restricted area, people frequently ask me for access so if I'm in the office, the door always stays open so people can come in and ask me stuff. Instead, people like to walk slightly past the wide open door and stare at me through a window directly beside the door until I turn around and see them. Then they mouth out a request to get in without actually staying it. It's not a window that opens, and the door is less than a full step from the window. Why can't people just come to the wide open door, say hello, and state their drat request out loud like a normal person?  It's not even a sometimes thing, every third person or so does it every single day. With the way it's laid out, you HAVE to pass the door to get to the window unless you're leaving the restricted area, so it's not like the solid window is closer

Believe it or not, unless you're the one doing the processing, nobody in the moment gives a flying gently caress about your journey to understanding. My mom does this. If you listen to any conversation she is a part of long enough, she always turns it back to her somehow. Perhaps I'm also self-absorbed because I never noticed this until someone, possibly my sister or my uncle, pointed this out and now it's all I ever notice. Now I spend extra time trying not to seem too self-absorbed and never want to talk about myself to people who know both my mother and I.

There has to be a word for the feeling of being lost while driving with someone behind me, so I turn into a safe place so that they can keep driving without my disoriented-rear end slowing them down, only for them to happen to be pulling into the same area I decided to turn into. It happens way too often, and then I get angry at them, like no loving way you just happened to be driving to the parking lot of this closed hardware store at 10 PM. Fine, now excuse me while I back out awkwardly and drive in a circle for five minutes until I can find a place to pull out my GPS.

I just want someone at work I can talk to about that one... If you mean the Disney one, it actually wasn't so bad. Lots of the Disney sequels in that time were loving poo poo, but Cindy 3 was pretty good. I hate when a simple yes/no will suffice and instead I get a huge story. Example: we found termite mud tubes in the front of the house. I broke them open and sprayed poo poo all around the area. No new tubes. My friend came over, and when I explained what I was doing (and not to come close because, you know, pesticide wands spray), he asked my mom if we had termites. Proper answer: Yes, we think so, but this should take care of it. What she said: Well last weekend Cowslips and I were going to the gym. Well, -I- was going to the gym, Cowslips was going to walk the park to hunt Pokemon, do you play that game? She loves it. Always on it. She caught some Pikachu inside and she said there's some dog or crab thing at the gym so she is going with me, but not to the gym, to the park. So we were going to the gym and we were leaving the house and I saw these tubes! Tubes of mud! So I got out of the car and looked them over and they look like termite tubes! So I asked Cowslips what she thought and she came over and.... And then I worry it's dementia setting in.

Yesterday I posted something someone said to me about adopting cats on facebook after mine died Monday night. It was a sweet sentiment specifically about adopting cats. The second comment was "so true about having kids too, except for the [most of the quote] part." The quote was basically about signing up for grief when we adopt a pet because they'll die before us, but we do it anyway out of love, and most likely will do it again partway through the grieving process. In what way does that sound anything like having children? People who have to insert their kids into everything are my pet peeve. I know some people think pets aren't as important as kids, but it's been less than 48 hours and I'm still in pain. Can't we just let this be about losing my best friend of 17+ years?

I keep getting yelled at for loving the poo poo out of Christmas and gently caress everyone for it. Christmas is bright, cheerful, fun, exciting, surprising, delicious and cool. All you assholes that want to hate it? gently caress YOU. Even the music is upbeat, happy poo poo. Ok fine, it repeats too much and you're tired of the same 25 songs. I can understand that, but gently caress you if you hate a whole delightful holiday because you heard I'll Be Home for Christmas one to many times, you Grinch heart having piece of poo poo. Lights! Trees! Polar Bears! SANTA! You're mad at fun you degenerate jerkwads.
