My upstairs neighbour orders a lot of take away. Which is fine, none of my business. However, the delivery person likes to drive around with insanely loud music. Mostly techno music. We are talking the kind of loud that makes his car vibrate here. Yo can hear him coming several blocks away. So in reality it's 30-45 minutes of insanely loud music with the added bonus of rattling car. You hear this noise machine arrive, then it is parked outside while he takes the food in, motor and music running of course, and then driving away again. Try this up to 12 times a week. ARGH!!!

People who drive through residential areas with loud music on should be sentenced to death by loving rat chamber. Is there no applicable noise pollution legislation or something? Surely the police would have a bone to pick with it being THAT loud. Then again I heard of a case where it took 2 years and 80 confirmed noise incidents to evict someone so I doubt anyone will actually do anything about a guy in a car in a timely manner if at all.

Smaller supermarkets that have a single line feeding multiple registers. Invariably the majority of people will clump up on the nearest one, and since the aisles are so narrow nobody can get by to the registers with shorter lines without shoving through and having people think you're "cutting" in line. It's not rocket science, if the line you are standing in is longer than the other ones, go down to the next one, or the one after that.

there are a lot of people here who do the ground-shaking bass in their cars, including delivery drivers, and I'm tired of that, too. most of the time it passes but sometimes people just sit in the parking lot blasting music or like... talk radio??? I'm posting this to make fun of these dudes and they haven't actually started a fire yet but look! I bet they're gonna light those tiki torch things too. also a bonus squirrel friend (I gave him a peanut):  the grill might be 15 feet away but the torches certainly aren't. they're also building some kind of retaining wall with bricks for a garden under our bedroom window area. ???????????????? IT'S JANUARY

I feel like you should be allowed to wang produce at people who bring shopping carts into self checkout. They invariably gently caress up since a full cart of groceries won't fit on the little scale thingies and it takes 8 Times as long for them to get out of there. Then they get to a bit of produce or some bakery rolls and shut down the whole joint until a cashier can come save them. Just get behind the other people with carts in the normal lines.

bradzilla posted:-A post by a coddled idiot who's never lived in a shared housing situation If my upstairs neighbors want to blast music for like two hours in the afternoon that is okay; if they want to blast music from 8 to 8 all day every day suddenly it's not okay. Part of living in shared spaces is figuring out where that line is drawn and which hills are important to die on. The Snoo is currently surrounded by hills that look like good and attractive places to die, for example.

We have two Walmarts in town and both of them have both tiny carts and handbaskets. Maybe you've just gotten unlucky and they're all taken when you get there, or I guess your store's manager is a cheapskate?

I'll just use the child-sized carts I guesssssss e: I love grocery shopping

I like living near a college campus because the self-checkout is full of college students who only shop for themselves and rarely buy fresh produce. If someone brings a cart through, it's just a couple cases of beer. Grocery stores in other parts of town are far less efficient.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Stop glamorizing mental illnesses. "lol I'm like sooo addicted to chocolate" "Millennials today are ADDICTED to their phones!" "Ur addicted to Candy Crush lol" I wish these people could spend a few hours inside the mind of a truly addicted person. Nonaddicted people trivializing chemical dependency (or really any mental illness) is my pet peeve. And for the love of GOD that sanctimonious video where Simon Shitwick or whatever talks about dopamine and Millennial phone addiction can burn in a tire fire.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:
I've never been to a Wal-Mart that has the smaller carts. The one I go to have hand-baskets but they're only located up front near the cash registers and not in various places around the store. Most stores I go to have hand-baskets located conveniently in various spots around the store. Our local Wal-Mart did just have self-checkout machines installed. Love them! But I don't use them if I have too much stuff because then it's just a pain the rear end.

In a similar vein, people who claim they have insomnia just because they stay up all night playing video games. I always seem to run into these bland-rear end young white guys who do this, and I swear most of them follow it up with poo poo like gleeful exclamations of "I've been to the doctor and they have NO IDEA what's wrong with me!" and claims that they only sleep 1-2 hours a night, in some weird desperate attempt to make themselves interesting. My first boyfriend was one of those guys, but he was also kind of a compulsive liar in general. When I slept over, he never went to bed before 4 am, but after that he slept a full 8 hours... yet every day it was "I've done four sleep studies and been to see ten specialists, and they don't know what's wrong! They can't figure it out! They said it's amazing I'm not dead! I didn't sleep at all last week!"

My dad's been doing something like this for decades. He'll sit on the couch in front of the TV, napping here and there during the evening. We'll tell him to go to bed, but he'll say that he's not sleepy. Eventually he'll go to bed at like, 2-3am, wake up at 6am, then yawn here and there throughout the day, saying, "I don't know why I'm so sleepy all the time!" And then go through the day tired until he can go back to taking a nap here and there in the evening. ...honestly, I could fill an entire thread on my dad. I'm surprised I haven't posted yet.

Fresh new pet peeve that is happening RIGHT NOW: My sister borrowed my car to go to work because it was storming like crazy and she didn't want to ride her bike. Cool, whatever, I don't work til later. But usually she's off by 8, it's almost noon now and she isn't answering my texts! Where the gently caress is my car?! I also loving hate when people borrow my car "to go to the grocery store" or some other short errand, and come back like 3 hours later, with zero communication. Just because I'm off work doesn't mean I don't need my car, or at the very least want to know where the gently caress it is! Even worse is when they come back holding food/drinks for themselves without even texting to ask if I wanted anything  It really sucks having roommates/friends who don't have cars.
