Well, if calling the police would ever be effective for neighbor disputes, it's in situations like that since it gives them a reason to actually do something. Unless it's legal where you are, then you're out of luck probably (again).

LegalPad posted:My boss has a lot of dumb ideas and when they are exceptionally dumb he will try to 'lead' the office into implementing the idea rather than just telling us to do it. Also, he's trying to get everyone to agree so when it goes wrong, it's not just his fault. You're ALL to blame for going along with it. Best thing to do is say something like "I don't agree, but you're the boss so you say how you think it should be done."

Unless it's legal where you are, then you're out of luck probably (again). from the research we did, it seems like the police wouldn't really do anything unless they were dealers or had a large amount of weed. I'm not really thrilled to ever get police involved so I don't really know what our options are if they don't take precautions to stop the smell from getting everywhere in this place. I'm pretty sure the people above us are moving out, which means half of the people here have moved out since we moved in. and I just realised that the company is probably going to renovate the apartment upstairs once they're gone. so we're going to be in for another month+ of jackhammering, drilling, cigarette butts everywhere and loud music from their contractors.  we have to give three months notice if we're moving (we have until the end of february for this), and the place we'd really like to move into requires moving in within a month of your application. how the hell do we manage that, not knowing if we'd even get approved for the other place?? we don't have the kind of money that would allow us to have even a month of overlapping rent, and like hell they'd reserve a place for us for three months.

If you're really annoyed as much as is implied based on your frequency of posting about your situation, I don't see why you'd be hesitant to get the cops involved. Just tell them you see people coming and going a lot (might not be true but  ) and it always has a strong smell of weed. It's not an ideal solution, but it is more of a solution than posting on the internet.

Semi-related unwanted noise complaint I experienced this morning: people who sing along to the music they are listening to. I don't know if it's a lack of awareness or just a desire to be seen as whimsical or whatever or both, but pretty much everyone on the bus was looking at the guy like he was mentally ill, surely he had to have known he was bothering people. At least be good at singing if you're going to annoy everyone, especially early in the morning.

The absolute worst is people that start singing along to some music that's playing and they get so into it or whatever that they stop actually listening so after a while they are several seconds out of sync with the song but somehow oblivious to it.

I can't imagine anyone singing somewhere like public transportation unless they were literally mentally ill in some way. I've seen it happen a few times, but usually with people who are obviously...off in some way.

nah, younger I also once sat next to someone on a full train who loudly sang hymns. Eventually I asked him to stop and he said if it bothered me, and since I asked so politely, he would. I thought to myself "see, being friendly works better than going off at them." Then he asked me "but have you ever noticed how people never ask Muslims the same thing" and I had to feign a sudden inability to communicate at all.

Software where common shortcuts do completely different things than expected. I've used several IDEs where ctrl-Y isn't "redo", it just deletes the entire line you're on. So then you have to undo that when you're already trying to redo something, and everything gets awkward. Did you try to press ctrl-S to save in vim? gently caress you. That makes the terminal stop outputting anything for some reason until you press ctrl-Q. So you will probably think it has locked up entirely if you don't know what's going on.

Because derails about speed limits are common I'll make this context clear up front: this was an average speed camera zone, I couldn't have sped whether or not I wanted to. With that said, gently caress this guy. He was in a truck at highway speed, so he was already supposed to be going 10k/h less than me, as mentioned I was in an area where speeding absolutely wasn't even an option - and here he is blasting his hi-beams in my mirrors for following the drat law. I pulled over and he sped past so, uh, good job getting yourself caught and hopefully losing your job.

Do you ever notice how Muslim's typically don't do poo poo like sing in "Arabic" (More Muslims speak Indonesian and Chinese dialects and Urdu than those who speak Arabic) on public transportation because some hate filled rear end in a top hat will harass them or possibly assault them?

It's no problem now that I've learned the basic command set, but I think it's completely unfair to throw unsuspecting users into an editor in which you have to know to press 'i' before you're allowed to type anything. Even now I still forget and throw myself into some Mystery Mode by trying to type right away. I will say that ctrl-Y doesn't make sense as 'redo' because redo is the opposite of 'undo' and since 'undo' is ctrl-Z, it makes sense that it'd be shift-ctrl-Z. However! That doesn't mean it's easy for my stupid tiny hands to type.

I actually completely agree that ctrl-Y is a really random and uncomfortable combination to be redo if ctrl-Z is undo, but that sure doesn't make it any more fun when you try to redo something and end up both deleting a line and screwing up the undo history. I can't stand vim in general.

When a podcast I like covers a subject I'm really interested in hearing them discuss and then has as a guest someone with an absolutely terrible voice. I get that a lot of smart, interesting, even funny people might not have good voices. But when your guest is, ostensibly, a performer and a comedian, and their voice sounds like a noseless 5-year-old with progeria, and they're not even particularly funny or insightful, then maybe your episode is a do-over.

If the cluster i'm on doesn't have pico/nano or something like gedit i'm totally lost. Text editors should be the simplest most straightforward things. Sometimes i think the vim fanatics are just pretending to like it to look smarter than the rest of us.

Even worse the the rear end in a top hat (normally in some giant penis-compensation of a truck) is edging forwards when he's in the the straight lane, and I'm turning right and am inching forward to see if it's clear. I can't see through your truck, dickhead! You can't even go anywhere, why are you edging forward? Or the idiots who start rolling forward when the intersecting light is changing to red, I guess in the hope they can get rolling start when our light turns green or something? But I've never seen anyone actually get the timing right so they always roll -> brake -> roll a bit more -> brake before the light actually changes. At this point their car is like 75% into the intersection.

The question "how are you?", both being asked it and asking it yourself in the context of coworkers or other non-friends (or even sometimes with friends really if they ask it every single day). When you ask it, you either get a stock "fine, you?" non-answer or an overly detailed description of everything they did for the past 24 hours. When you are asked it, you usually give the stock answer because you don't like/trust the person enough to tell them how you're actually doing. It would be nicer if people would only ask it if they genuinely wanted to know rather than just doing it because it's the social convention.

Not because it implies they don't care about my answer, that's never bothered me (because I certainly don't care about a near-stranger's personal life, why should they care about mine?) but because I feel like I have to be polite and ask it back to them, but by the time I get out "Fine thanks, yourself?" they're already behind me, chirping "Good!" over their shoulder, and I go "Oh, good!" back, and by the time the whole interaction is over there's about five feet of distance between us and nothing of value has been accomplished.

Yeah I don't mind that they don't care, it's mostly what you said. Plus the expectation to always answer positively otherwise you're a "downer". Anyway this has been annoying me lately and happened this morning: people who flick you off or otherwise give you an angry look when the doors to the tram/bus won't open as it's preparing to move on. If the button outside isn't working it's not going to work in here either, flip the driver off if you want someone to be mad at, he's the one controlling it, not me. I guess they expect you to see them running and hold the door, which I do if I notice, but it's not something I'm always actively looking for and it's unreasonable to expect it to be.
