Where in god's holy name are you guys finding these people? I feel like I'm fairly social and I never see these types out in reality. Maybe my bar is too divey for them or something? I really do think I'd punch someone like that directly in the neck and be done with it. Today my peeve is that I play beer league hockey and guys cannot stop commenting on how weird that is. Not the guys I play with, other guys. The ones that can't fathom that A GIRL! Gasp! would play a relatively violent sport. Co-ed at that! And they always call it "adorable". Same dipshits also make fun of me for being a welder. "Ah how cute! She can do boy things!" gently caress you dickless, meet me in the parking lot. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 12:53 on Jan 8, 2017 |

fun update/edit: so the dudes downstairs seem to have a stereo system and were playing music really loud. my husband went down and asked about it and he said the dude seemed apologetic and said they'd try to keep it down and soundproof stuff. and I'm like...

I mean it's better than getting pissy at us lole2: I'll believe it when it happens because they're playing music louder now. neato e3: my peeve is that people think they can do stuff in their apartments without considering other people. there are plenty of things I don't do anymore because I want to be considerate to the people around me. things like listening to music loud, or working on my metal jewelry, or whatever.

I have developed some cell phone peeves. I only just got a smart phone two years ago or so, and I really like it! It's useful and does a lot of neat stuff. It also pisses me off. Firstly, the SD card seems to get unseated from time to time, where the phone won't recognize it for awhile. Usually restarting it fixes the problem, but even if the problem resolves itself, any programs on the SD card that I pinned to the home screen get removed, so I have to find those programs again and pin them again... bah. Pointless busywork. Then there are the times when restarting the phone doesn't fix the problem. Twice now I've had to completely reformat the SD card because the phone corrupted it or something. I also replaced it once. Why, phone, do you keep eating your SD card? Stop it! And another annoying thing about the SD card! The thing is formatted to work as internal memory. Fine and dandy. 64 gigs of space to download poo poo, whee! Except the phone refuses to download poo poo to the SD card, instead insisting on using the tiny-rear end internal storage. I can move apps to the SD card after the fact, but only some give me the capability to move them. And forget it if a large app has an update! Even if the app itself is stored on the SD card, nooo we have to download this to the internal storage. I'm looking directly at you, Pokemon Go! What's the point of treating the SD card like internal storage if the phone doesn't... just act like it has internal storage + SD card worth of memory, and not distinguish between the two? Effectively what I have is an SD card that can only be used in the phone and just kinda sits there and looks pretty? I realize my woes might be due to my phone getting a bit long in the tooth... but this relates to my other peeve regarding phones. The market for middle-of-the-road bargain phones has completely dried up, at least in my country. It seems everyone else wants the complete opposite things out of their phone than I do. I would prefer my phone to be smaller and more efficient, and last longer on a charge. But no, phones keep getting bigger and bigger and the battery life gets crappier and crappier. And the whole consumer paradigm for them just pisses me off. Yes, I totally want to spend $600 on a new phone every single year. Wtf people?! It wouldn't be so bad if I could just import a cheap phone from China or something and say "gently caress you" to those kinds of predatory practices, except my country decided it had to be a special snowflake and use a different cell network than the rest of the world. I'm almost more pissed off that I actually like the phone and find it useful, or else I could go back to a $20 flippy phone and not give a gently caress. But I don't want to, because I like having a smart phone. BAH.

Why do designers keep ruining perfectly good dresses and shirts by putting a giant hole on the shoulder/upper arm. Now it's too breezy to wear in cool weather, and has too much sleeve to wear in hot weather. Congratulations, you've made a useless dress.

Tiggum posted:You can listen to loud music in your own home during the day. If you're they're doing it at night then they're being arseholes, but otherwise it is you that's the weird one. The thing is, it ceases to just be "in your own home" when it invades the homes of those around you. If walls are vibrating and I can't hear myself think in my own home, because you're blasting your subwoofer in yours, then yes, you're an rear end in a top hat. It doesn't matter what time it is, misery is misery. Those people are all the same, too: inconsiderate in their every action, not just playing music loudly. Spitting right in front of people, littering, trashing community spaces (e.g. leaving the shared barbecue area full of used paper plates and beer bottles), garbage in the recycle bins as The Snoo experienced. It's never just the music. fizzymercy posted:Edit: Guy just asked me to turn down my TV. I don't own one? I'm starting to think he's trying to make friends with me by being weird. Are there any other neighbors connected to your place, or is it just yours and theirs? The location of sound through walls, especially bass, can be difficult to determine. Could be they've misidentified you as the source? Che Delilas has a new favorite as of 09:06 on Jan 9, 2017 |

If you want peace and quiet, buy/rent a house instead of an apartment. If you want to be as loud as you want with it much less likely to piss people off, buy/rent a house instead of an apartment. In an ideal world people would follow the rules (unwritten as well as written) in apartments, but whenever you put a group of people together somebody in the group is going to be an inconsiderate rear end in a top hat. That said, even in a suburb house there are ways your neighbors can/will piss you off. Moving into the woods with miles between you and the next neighbor isn't even a solution since your property will just become a dumping ground for unwanted pets as my dad found out shortly after doing this. The best you can do is find a balance between number/degree of inconsiderate rear end in a top hat neighbors and convenience. I feel like if you find a big city apartment with considerate neighbors that never bother you, hold on to it for dear life and hope none of them die before you (or move out).

These people are still hammer drilling at the most bizarre hours. But the thing is, they only do it for a literal second. My guess is they're trying to be quiet but it's a loving hammer drill so it's going to be loud! So at 3 am I'll be up to use the bathroom or maybe I'm having trouble sleeping or whatever, and there's this one-second BZZZZZT. I also heard it in the middle of the day today. If you want to drill some holes, just do it all at once and be done with it! Also one of my cats: shut up! You are so annoying. Meowing is cute but yours aren't. They're MOOOOOOOOOOO MRROOOOOOOOO. ARRRROOOOOOO. And they're only super early in the morning outside my door, and all the tips about this don't work. Ignoring used to work but then he decided to do it anyways. Goddamnit. I'm cranky.

Looking for parts for any car built before 1980 will always have HOT ROD RAT ROD OLD SCHOOL in the eBay or Craigslist description, no matter how minor the part may be. "One tone control radio knob for 1979 GM Delco AM radio HOT ROD RAT ROD OLD SCHOOL. Broken and rusty, may not actually be for Delco radios or cars. $49.99 BUY IT NOW L@@K" Not every thing is a hot rod or a rat rod, for gently caress's sake. Sometimes an old car is just an old car.

If you're buying a used car in FL from Craigslist and want to get hosed up, play the Craigslist Air Conditioning Description Drinking Game! Take a drink every time a car's AC is described specifically as "ice cold." It's never enough to say that it is working, it must always say "AC works great, ice cold!" I swear to god literally every ad I read contained this phrase. It's like it was a requirement put there by Craigslist. I started to think it was code for meth or something. Do northern states have the same thing with their car ads and heat? "Fiery hot!"

People who don't answer their texts. Or when they do it's not until days later. Especially when I have a question or concern. I'm not talking about people who get back in a timely manner normally but don't answer because they're busy or wanting to disconnect. I mean people who perpetually do this. And I know they get my texts because every time I'm with them I see them on their phones or with their phones all the time. Maybe it's me. If it is, it's especially sad when family does this. In fact, I was mentioning this peeve to my cousin about his half-sister, who's a friend of mine. "She only gets back to people when she wants. It's annoying." Then he turns around and does it himself!

Our upstairs neighbors are quiet for the most part, barring the occasional loud movie night on the weekends. The problem I have with them is that they leave their dog at home for hours on end and the dog clearly has separation issues. He cries/howls for almost the entire time that they're gone, and as far as I can tell, only stops to fall asleep. Poor pup

Noctone posted:Plenty of people can't afford this option, though. My point wasn't really that people should do it, just that inconsiderate and loud neighbors are an unfortunately unavoidable part of renting an apartment. It was also more directed at the noise-creating people - if you want to do something that bothers most people, the responsibility should be on you to go to greater lengths to avoid bothering people. And like I said in the part of the post you didn't include, even houses aren't without their problems, but generally they are significantly reduced and you'll never be woken up by people stomping on your ceiling or whatever. Noise problems are one of those things that are terrible to live with/through but unfortunately there's just not much you can do beyond earplugs/white noise unless you have one of the few landlords that exist that care enough about enforcing the noise rules in the lease on a tenant in otherwise good standing.

I guess? Having lived in a place where my upstairs neighbours were constantly stomping on the floor and just generally being loud, I try to be as quiet as possible for the sake of those below me. However, with each of your posts, I become a little bit quieter. I'm waiting for the day when the cops come to my door due to concerns that I may be dead. Peeve: Covers of songs which add no originality or creativity. For example, compare Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded By The Light" with Mannfred Mann's. Now compare The Beatles' "Come Together" with Aerosmith's. I couldn't find the original Beatles' version on youtube, but it doesn't matter because they sound EXACTLY THE SAME.

My YouTube peeve is that if you watch anything game related, Design chats, trailers, whatever, your recommended list will inevitably be infected with "EPIC TAKEDOWN OF ANITA SARKEESIAN#!!

  if they plan on using that here, I'm going to scream fun fact: the last tenant would grill in that same spot, less than 5 feet from the wooden apartment balconies.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ how do they manage to be worse than the last guy??? at least we might be able to move at the end of our lease!! related peeve: the management company like... never cleans the balconies. I want to do it myself but it's a bit too cold now. when it rains, all the algae and stuff gets really slippery.

Stop complaining to us (or don't, you might get a lot of good advice?) and start taking pictures to show your landlord. If they don't act, then go to court and ask for damages and legal fees. This is seriously ridiculous and I live above a guy that brought me homemade wine and a basket of "home cured meats". fake edit: closet cured ham has a definite moldy funk that any foodie would vomit at. real edit: where do you live that this keeps happening? Cause even in lawless Houston Texas that grill alone would get me a new unit and some better neighbors if I whined even a little bit. I don't complain about the guy downstairs cause he's obviously just mentally ill, but you have a real claim here. Again. Second time, same place. That seems relentlessly against tenant agreements. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 17:46 on Jan 15, 2017 |

This is seriously ridiculous and I live above a guy that brought me homemade wine and a basket of "home cured meats". we had pictures of the last tenant's grill/fire (several different times) along with the logs I made of the loud music, and it took the first half of our year here for them to finally evict him. we were reporting stuff from the very beginning, and it was tedious and unpleasant. so if we're able to move at the end of our lease, and we won't know until march, I don't know if it's worthwhile to do all of that again. we kept getting the whole run around when we'd call the property manager's office and they'd say 'call the police' and the police would say 'talk to your landlord' for months. the landlord/customer service acting like their hands are tied when it's their own property and their own lease that this dude was violating in several ways. I've considered court and stuff like withholding rent, but we don't have the financial freedom to gently caress around with that, and none of us can drive. so we feel kinda trapped. we live in central maryland and in, like, the 'poor' apartments. for this area, anyway. I don't think anyone here really cares. I'm just amazed they managed to rent the unit to people who are arguably worse than before.

This is super minor compared to no money or lovely neighbours but whatever. People who send a relatively short email and then end with an apology for sending a long email. Dude, it was two paragraphs, calm the gently caress down. I am more than capable of reading a couple of hundred words about whatever without freaking the gently caress out. Maybe if you sent me a 12 page rambling screed about nothing I would be kinda annoyed but it's email. Email is not twitter, it's okay to elaborate and include details about whatever. But so many people include this 'sorry this email is so long' sort of poo poo, where did it come from? It's so strange.
