Or a song that's for some mystery reason split into two songs so when you hear it on radio or in a playlist you only get half the song. I'm thinking Tool's Parabol/Parabola but I know Pink Floyd has a bunch of these like Empty Spaces/Young Lust. I'm also irritated that "what shall we do now" isn't on the actual album and I had to rip it off the DVD. That's like my favorite song on there. Kind of a side note but the ad before the video for what shall we do now just now was for some game for babies. That is just like... not appropriate

I'm waiting on an important package. On Wednesday I got home to find an "attempted delivery" note on the door, but Thursday and Friday someone was home all day, nobody knocked, called or left a slip on the door, and both days I got emails late at night saying "delivery was attempted, sorry we missed you!" What the gently caress kind of bullshit is this, Fedex?

They did that poo poo to me last week. My student sent me a bottle of nice whiskey because he got into grad school at Stanford, and FedEx "tried" to deliver it in Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, at the same time each day. I was absolutely home, but rather than knock or anything, they just left the stupid loving slip on the door. Then I tried to hold it for pickup at the FedEx branch closest to me, and they sent it from that branch to another one. Nice job guys.

FedEx guys are experts at running up and down stairs. They can ring your doorbell, place the "sorry we missed ya!" sign on the door and be speeding away in the car in under 10 seconds. I've waited right in the livingroom like 9 feet away from the door waiting for deliveries before and missed them after they rang my door.

docbeard posted:There's a reason I get most everything shipped to me at work. This. I tell people to do this poo poo all the time but they never do. I'm a courier and it is irritating as balls when all my deliveries are set 9-5 because most people are at work! I do tend to wait around if I have time (at least a minute, but if I'm dropping off medical supplies like wheelchairs, use a brain, wait for the person to hobble to the loving door, other couriers!) because it's more of a pain in the rear end not to deliver it. I don't keep door slips on me for that reason (I did get a writeup about that once.) too. But I don't deliver overnight or ground, only same-day stuff, 2 hour, 4 hour, etc. Obviously if the person refuses it, one thing. But there's paperwork to fill out if I attempt a delivery and need a signature and no one is home. I'd rather wait a few minutes so I don't have to haul the poo poo back to my van. Peeve: COD deliveries. I can't take cash either, only checks. Who the gently caress has a checkbook anymore? Lots of people. And none of them know where it is. And all of the people who order their poo poo COD know it's COD, and KNOW it's check only, and always give me crap about not taking money they unfold from their sweaty bra. If I refuse enough, they will eventually call the sender and give a credit card number. I had a guy threaten me because I didn't have the square and he didn't want to give me back the box but also refused to pay me any other way.

That's because those bands want you to listen to the full album and think picking out individual songs will take away from the experience. And also Tool being Tool.

According to a friend that used to work for UPS, the drivers are put on timetables that are flat out impossible to make if they try to deliver all of the packages. They fill out the "we missed you" forms as they are driving so they can just stick them up and keep moving. The UPS guy I have now just chucks my poo poo onto the lawn without even knocking, which is a TON more convenient.

The last time I got a UPS delivery they stuck it into the big bushy tree by my front door and it was marked as having been "handed to a resident". I didn't even find it for like a week, by which time I'd gotten a free replacement. Now I have four camera batteries and a tree for a roommate.

I hate when shirts run slightly too big or slightly too small. Every shirt I own is Large because 90% of them fit me well. The other 10% feels uncomfortable to wear one day, fine the other, and holy-poo poo-I-am-swimming-in-this a week from now.

I worked at a kitchen for the longest time (and had a ton of micromanaging bosses who hammered it into me) that causes me to have a pet peeve about poorly plated food. Even as something as little as a burger paddy not aligned with the bun is enough for me to judge the poo poo out of whoever made it.

As long as you're talking about just making things neat and not just thrown on the plate on top of each other, I agree, but I hate the obnoxious try-hard fine dining plating of your hungry man dinner or whatever. If you're doing that stupid smearing sauce with the bottom of a spoon thing that is so pervasive in modern fine dining, just stop (unless you actually work at a restaurant serving that style of food).

Oh, I completely agree about the try-hard kind of stuff. I get annoyed by that nonsense, but it might be because I worked with / dated someone who did that poo poo at a level-10 level when we did not have the time for anything above a level-5 and would not stop and aaaagh now I'm having Kitchen Flashbacks thank you very much. The "thrown on the plate on top of everything" thing just annoys the poo poo out of me. Like I said, I'm 50% envy that my bosses can (and did) bitch me out for being lazy about plating.

Plating. Food's food, just dump it on a plate. Making weird towers and stacks or whatever is just annoying. And don't even think about serving it on a wooden board or in a basket or something else stupid. An ordinary plate or bowl is absolutely fine. In fact, better than fine, it's ideal.

People who let their dogs bark nonstop, it should be punishable by time in the stocks. Slowly but surely more and more dogs have been moved in near me, just taking a walk to the shop (and i took the path onto the main road away from the houses) and I set off 7 dogs before I got away from the houses. How do these people live with themselves? Can they just not hear it? gently caress it drives me to the point of a big loving wobbly.

Owning a dog inside city limits should require an exam, licensing, and regular inspections to make sure you aren't a dipshit dog owner. Ideally, the licensing fee would be per dog to discourage people from having like 14 loving dogs.

our new apartment looks really nice and is in a great location for walking everywhere! we're on the top floor and only have one neighbor to deal with. but of course, they have a child that runs around (which shakes our floor! I was doing the dishes and the floor was thumping under my feet) and screams a lot. and they seem to take a bath at 8am every morning, and the plumbing is so loud in this place that it wakes us up. OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING IS COOL

That must be a pretty massive child if they can shake your floor from the floor below you. 8 am also isn't really an unreasonable time to be up and about making noise so it sounds pretty good overall compared to before.

I meant that they're our neighbors next to us, and the stomping transfers through the joists or whatever so it shakes the kitchen and probably my aquarium as well

nah I said 'only one neighbor' which makes it seem like 'just below', oops. I haven't heard much noise from anywhere else except, of course, the blasty car music people I don't think 8am is unreasonably early, I just wish the plumbing wasn't so loud. I could hear the neighbor's bath in our old place but it wasn't loud enough to drown out voices like it does here.

Ideally, the licensing fee would be per dog to discourage people from having like 14 loving dogs. I am so sick of people taking their dogs out without leashes around here. Inevitably the dogs take off and charge down other people or dogs and you have to smile and pretend to like the owner's lovely drool monster while they speedwalk after it yelling apologies. "Aw he's normally so good!" How about use a loving leash? It's not only lovely for your neighbors, it's dangerous for the dog. Also people around here like to keep their dogs in the back yard all day so it can bark at anything and everything that moves. There are houses I've learned to avoid because you will ALWAYS set off mad barking if you stroll by. At that point why own a dog? I can't keep a dog so I keep a snake that sleeps all the time and gives 0 shits as long as it gets rats and proper humidity. Doggies are social, they don't want to hang out in your 20x20 wood-fenced back yard and stare at nothing all day. That poo poo is criminally abusive.

People in this town drive too slow. I'm not asking people to go 40 or 45 over 35, necessarily, but it would be nice to be able to go above 25 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. It's not unusual to go as slow as 15 in a 35 and there's no way to pass. And no, I'm not tailgating either.

Was out walking our dog the other evening and these two dipshit white kids were loving break dancing (this is in the suburbs of Portland, so you know 100% that they are complete loving idiots) in their garage while their puppy pitbull charged out and attacked our dane. I don't feel a tiny bit guilty for kicking that dog out from under ours and yelling at the two morons for keep their piece of poo poo on a leash if they can't train it properly. I have nothing against pit bulls or really any other breed, but I swear pits are the breed most likely to be owned by an irresponsible douche bag.
