Current peeve: travelling with someone who (positive part) is keen to explore a new city with you and go on walks to check out the local area or spend a day trekking around the museums or giant zoological park here, but (negative) packed four pairs of shoes -- all some kind of high heel dress shoes or sandals. And then complains that I'm walking too fast or that they want to sit down every 10 minutes because their feet hurt. I'm pretty talk and have a long stride naturally, and having to shuffle so that she can keep up with me in her absurd shoes is making my knees hurt

When people tell the homeless to "just get a job" or "just go to a shelter." What groundbreaking advice I'm sure they'd never thought of. Gee golly mister you saved their life!

I remember a car alarm on my street when I was growing up, that had a synthesized woman's voice saying "help... please help!" It inspired many grim thoughts.

Closed-Down Pizza Parlor posted:To get three coins back instead of a bunch more Something that would also get you three coins back instead of a bunch more: give the cashier $12.35. Or, for no coins at all: Use a card. Or! One more option! Take the coins and put them in something else at the end of the day, like a coin jar or bank, so that you don't wind up in a situation where getting more than three coins back is going to mentally break you or something. All more valid then giving a seemingly random amount of cash/coins to the cashier and expecting them to read your mind to find out what you want back.

There is one particular youtuber who travels around tasting food from all over the world, I like seeing all the different food he finds and places he visits but one thing drives me loving insane, almost without fail he makes the most exaggerated face of "oh god yes this is the best food ever mmm", stop it! I get the food is probably wonderful but it just irritates the poo poo out of me because it's like he doesn't actually understand how to visually show satisfaction in any other way. For reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5RBtgpC9ZI&t=118s

Speaking of youtube video habits: why does every single "vlogger" out there feel the need to have a jump cut every 3 seconds? I get that clips need to be edited together but they seem to go out of the way to use them for "humor". It's never funny though, it's just annoying. Also every sped-up montage of walking/driving/whatever does not need some lovely techno song playing during it.

His O-face is forever burned into my brain and I hate it. There's another guy named The Food Ranger (Trevor James) who makes this stupid Mmmmm noise when he eats. The two actually collaborated on some videos recently too so you can see them both do their dumb gimmicks at the same time.

They're standing in front of a cash register that does the math for them. What I expect them to do is take the money I hand to them, enter that amount in the register, and give me back the amount that is displayed on the screen. It isn't unreasonable for me to try to get my change back in as few pieces of money as possible, but I'm not going to be the rear end in a top hat mansplaining exactly why I'm handing them exactly these coins.

The job inherently puts you on autopilot, so unless you communicate what your novel and totally normal plan is all about, they're just going to try and give you back the extra money.

I am on a 4 hour train ride, and there is a family with a baby. The baby isn't even crying or anything, but the mom is trying to soothe it or something by making these horrible loud shushing sounds every 10 seconds. Like "sh sh sh sh sh shhhhhhhhh". Omg it's driving me bonkers. It's ten times worse than any sound a baby could make.

BigFactory posted:You might be the only person in human existence who has ever tried to do a transaction like that. My dad does this, and so I've picked up the practice as well, with two important differences: 1) I do it with amounts of money that make the whole process a shortcut. For example, the bill is 13.10 and I hand them a twenty and a dime. 2) If the cashier looks confused or tells me I gave them too much, I just tell them what I'm up to and that I should be getting back $7, "trying to get rid of my coins.  ".I haven't done this years; the only time I use cash anymore is at "cash only" food carts which are pretty rare themselves, and cash only food carts deal in whole-number prices by and large.

The key is to say what you are doing instead of stubbornly remaining silent waiting for them to figure it out. What's so hard about that? It's literally just a few words - "# (denomination) back please" and it eliminates any confusion. The fact that anyone would consider this "mansplaining" is so ridiculous to me.

[quote="Che Delilas" post=""47141901"] 1) I do it with amounts of money that make the whole process a shortcut. For example, the bill is 13.10 and I hand them a twenty and a dime. [/quote] Normal people do that. You get a dollar back. Giving some random extra amount of money to get another random amount back is nonsense.

BigFactory posted:Normal people do that. You get a dollar back. Giving some random extra amount of money to get another random amount back is nonsense. Also it looks like you might be trying to run a shortchange scam. Okay so I'll give you $5.60, my bill is $2.30, but wait here is another quarters, no wait you give me back the dime and.... gently caress you. I hate the lack of patience in people. At work, from 7 to 9, there is ONE person running the center I start my route from, so when I come in about 8, there can be a long line. And people see me wearing the company shirt and instantly ask me questions, or loudly complain I am taking too long to get a register open. I love the looks on their faces when I can one, ignore them, and two, get my gear for outside work and walk right outside to my van, and never even nod to them. I get the idea a lot of our bad Yelp reviews are from this. "Waited in line and was ignored for five minutes!" And I used to try to help them, but a 'quick question' usually became a 10 minute ordeal. No mam, I don't know how much it costs to make a vinyl banner. No, I don't have access to the register, I can't give you a refund. No, I don't know why your file is hosed up.

May Contain Nuts posted:B. Go gently caress yourself. Get a bank account. You will not have a pocket full of coins for the remainder of the day if you pay with a card. Coincidentally, the bank is also where you can go if you want to exchange your coins for different coins instead of acting like the cashier at a store is a bank teller.

Coins are for peasants and in the unfortunate situation I must deal with them I always throw them contemptuously on the counter where they scatter and roll around and I laugh at the shame and cringing manner in which the employee must gather them
