At least charge them money, like someone said. A former friend of mine was never motivated to fix her car because I would take her everywhere.

My girlfriend says "dehydrated" when she really means "thirsty". To hear her tell it, every hike is a brush with death. I think I finally convinced her to stop the madness by repeatedly responding with "if you're dehydrated, we should probably stop hiking/biking/whatever and go see a doctor".

Mild dehydration is still dehydration, and the symptom is that you're thirsty -- the term does not SOLELY refer to levels of dehydration which are physically dangerous and require a doctor's attention, and by no means does being dehydrated require being on the brink of death or whatever. Your girlfriend's usage is perfectly legitimate, you just find it annoying, which is also legitimate but not the same issue as you think it is

I know some people that insist on hydrating so often that their pee is always clear. Why is that a thing. I also know medical doctors that do juice cleanses. Like wtf, if you're a doctor tell me what "toxins" you are clearing out by starving yourself.

She simply has wrong ideas about how much water a person should drink when exercising.

You could just drink water when you're thirsty and not carry around a huge water bottle in a baby sling and chug it every 5 minutes.

People who were sheltered growing up and managed to stay that way through their 20s-30s. Maybe I'm just jealous, but like, I've had a friend who says the worst thing that ever happened to her was finding her dad's old Playboys, another who didn't talk to her mom for months when she found out she'd ever smoked pot, even once, before she was born, etc... I've known two people who are horrified at the idea of drinking in their late 20s. The other day my one friend was horrified to find out you have to share showers in college dorms; she's 36 and has never lived anywhere but with her parents. Having seen an even moderate amount of some poo poo at this point in my life, we can't relate at all. It's annoying and I don't know how to feel.

I know some people who are obsessed with hydration and uhhh yeah if you are so thirsty that you have to chug gallons of water every day and can't even sleep for a few hours without having to wake up and drink from glasses of water you keep next to the bed you'd think that would be an indicator of a medical problem you should see a doctor about in of itself but NOPE GOTTA STAY HYDRATED. Edit: Instead of slings they all carry around comically large insulated mugs and for whatever reason are SUPER particular about what temperature the water is.

I think that they dump everything out and refill after drinking less than 12 oz of it but the extra half gallon helps it stay in the exact temperature range they need for a few minutes longer.

I drink a metric fuckton of water and tea because my medication will straight up murder my kidneys and liver if I don't. As a result I pee so much. Like a champion. I could win a piss medal. My pet peeve is people telling me to drink more water to cute my genetic issues like that's gonna help. I already am a piss monster, Brenda. doing yoga and drinking juice cleanse or whatever the gently caress is not gonna help me.

I was at my dad's house this morning, where I grew up, and I instantly had a pet peeve rebirth itself. The stairs to the basement aren't padded with carpet, and aren't solid underneath. This means there's absolutely nothing to dampen the sound of walking down them, especially with shoes on. Seriously, you could use the home of my birth as a foley source for Frankenstein's Monster; unless you're actively walking gently, you will make a lot of noise. So what does my dad (and my mom used to) do when I'm walking on those stairs, with shoes on? Try to have a conversation. He'll start talking at the precise minute I start stepping downstairs, I'll have to stop myself, hear the last few words of what he said, make more noise going back up the stairs, to find that he's already completed what he was saying, and despite him living in this house for the better part of three decades, has yet to understand that you can't hear someone when you're walking down the stairs.

When people fall asleep when I try to show them "The Graduate." Ok it's kind of a weird choice if you compare it to TODAYS BLOCKBUSTER WITH 10000000 explosions!!!! But come on it's not like I'm showing you some weird rear end art school movie (ok you can argue about this), but this has dreamy young Dustin Hoffman in it! And I told you specifically what type of movie it was! And you said, "yeah let's watch this"! I already complained how I don't like movies but this is one of two movies I like; be glad I'm not showing you Citizen Kane and commenting on f-stops or camera angles! I'm EXTREMELY up front about this before I put the drat thing on. Ghhhhhh  E: and I've never put this on for anybody so count your blessings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V14PfDDwxlE or the corresponding The Brain monologue Or The Critic one. The Critic is actually a really good show, you should watch it. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 07:45 on Jan 21, 2017 |

That's a good movie but if you like only 2 movies, expand your mind. Might I recommend Room, the movie Brie Larson won her Oscar for before being cast as Captain Marvel. It's incredible.

Spotify has multiple ads that say the word "dog" and have whining dog noises. It's like the Alexa thing, but instead of buying you a dollhouse it pisses off your pets.

I hate this because people never pick up on why you are taking so long to respond and start saying the question again. Even if you give the "one second/minute" gesture people still can't comprehend that you don't want to talk with your mouth full of food. Just wait 5 seconds.

In any piano cover of a sufficiently popular song on Youtube, there's always someone trying to call it out as fake. 'Look at his hands, the sound doesn't sync up with the video!!!' Even if the video and audio do get desynced, how is it not immediately obvious whether the player's fingers are hitting the notes? If they're a skilled enough piano player to make it look like they're playing the right notes, why wouldn't they just play the song? Has there ever even been a recorded incident of someone faking playing a song and trying to pass it off as a cover? What would they stand to gain from it? I should know better than to ever look at Youtube comments.

I can't find the "PYF Bad Marketing" thread so I'll just post this here. I just saw a Verizon commercial that was basically "Actually, unlimited data is bad because 2 out of 3 people don't even use 5GB a month! Unlimited is more expensive too! Have 5GB of data for $55." Why do marketers just outright lie? My unlimited plan with Sprint is $50 a month. Like are people really so dumb that they believe everything told to them by marketing? Don't know why this is touching a nerve right now but  Verizon

Don't know why this is touching a nerve right now but Ex Verizon customer support here. Yes, they think you're that stupid. When I was working there I remember two things we were trained on: AT&T had just launched the Rollover program. We were instructed to outright call the program a scam because "If you have rollover minutes you're being overcharged." Verizon changed its plans like 3 times over 2 years on top of acquiring some small carriers like Alltell. If you were on a legacy plan I was instructed to do everything in my power to get you to upgrade off the old unlimited plan to one of the new, more expensive tier plans. Relevant pet peeve: people that poo poo on service workers. Asking for a supervisor or hanging up because we asked for your confirmation info tanks our pay stats. Your tantrum probably just cost a low-wage worker money.

Is this the one you were looking for? They lie for the same reason most people lie--personal gain. We convince them the other guy sucks, they shop with us, we get paid. That's it. I worked at Gamestop back when the Wii first came out and the store offered an "extended warranty plan." We were told in so many words that our jobs depended on us getting as many customers to buy one with his or her Wii as possible. Bored, one day, I read the fine print. The Gamestop warranty ran concurrent with Nintendo's manufacturer warrranty and they both ended at the same time. We were required to sell customers something they didn't need and in fact couldn't use, as if you tried to call the 800 number to report a problem with your Wii, Gamestop instructed you to call Nintendo instead. I asked my manager about it and the only thing he said was "sell them anyway, and don't tell the customers that."

The company that used to be my rep payee was saving my money from my disability and making it hard to get out anything extra. Now that I've switched rep payees, they've sent my savings to Social Security so they can transfer it to my new one. I called yesterday to find out how much I had had in savings, thinking it was maybe 75 bucks. It was like $3,500. I have to wait at least a month to even hear what's going on with the money. Why couldn't they cut me a check. I really could have used that money recently. Now I am getting my disability again, but I haven't had anything extra in a long time. e: I might owe Social Security like $1500 because you cannot save more than $2000. timefly has a new favorite as of 02:00 on Jan 25, 2017 |
