I'm trying to re-watch a series on Netflix, but every time another episode starts, it continues from where I left off the last time I saw that episode, which of course is in the end credits. This is INFURIATING. If the last time I was watching that episode was 2+ years ago AND I'm going to it from the episode immediately before, why would I ever want to resume from that spot?

I hate this too. There really needs to be a time limit after which it stops doing that, or even better a "forget viewing history" button for a show/movie.

Sometimes I swear people here in Denver are much more concerned with loving everyone else over much more than they are with getting to their destination.

People who try to talk to you in the bathroom. Sidling up to the urinal next to me and talking about work isn't appropriate. Ask me when we both don't have our dick in our hands.

You're basically at the mercy of the cops at that point, not that they're usually dicks but well, cops. And the chunk that goes through the GTA is literally the busiest highway in North America. That always blows my loving mind.

For some reason the new girl at work doesn't seem to believe me that covering the deli is her job, and that I'm just helping out by serving people when she's busy. So, if I'm busy and she's not and there's a customer who wants something from the deli, she should be the one doing it. And yet she got annoyed a couple times this week for me asking "hey can you help this lady on deli?" when she's talking to a coworker or, like, peeling carrots and I'm in the middle of my actual, gotta-get-done-by-shift's-end work. And then when I asked her what the hostility is about, it's literally her job, she got all sullen and angry towards me, asking why I don't just do it if I notice someone. I'm like, uh, just because I'm working near the deli doesn't mean I'm the deli guy, I can just do it if I have to; I also work across from the dish pit but I'm not about to do her dishes for her. Oh, and another more general peeve: People who say "no, but" to practically every contribution you make to a conversation. I don't know if it's a language tic or something, but god drat does it feel dismissive. "Anyways" does this too.

Are you the manager? Tell her if she doesn't start doing her job she'll lose it. If not, tell whoever the manager is that she needs clarification of what she's being paid to do.

It's weird because I know she was trained on this stuff, so she's probably one of those people who just gets pissed off when you... make them do things?

Similarly, sometimes people will respond to a yes/no question or something that they agree with by saying a "No, yeah, totally"-like response. You actually just replied with a no first (since maybe your first instinct is just to shoot someone's response down??) but then affirmed it?? wtf.

Gym peeve of today: free-standing rack of weights, basically a stand with pegs coming off it like waist-high metal christmas tree. 2.5s and 5s on the top, two pegs full of 45lbs on the bottom, mid weights in between, nice and balanced. Today there was one 45lb plate on one bottom peg and 5 or more on the other bottom peg. Douchebag McLargehuge bald guy comes over and takes the one 45 left on the one side, watches as the stand visibly teeters, then walks off, and surprising absolutely no one this causes the stand to careen over and spill weights, including a 45 onto my shin while I'm mid-set. gently caress you, dude. Keep the poo poo balanced!

^^gym peeves: guys who don't put clips on the ends of the bars when they're benching/squatting/whatever. Why? Just, WHY?! And the dudes who just spend 2 hours talking to their buddies but take up machines or weights at the same time; like, they'll do two reps, talk for 5 minutes, do two more, etc. Then there's the morons who don't do things properly, like they do reps super fast and with a super high weight. That's how you're going to get hurt, you idiot. And of course the losers who are taking selfies. "I'm at the #gym I'm so #cool #strong #sexy" gently caress these guys as well, get off the machine I need to use.

Another podcast kvetch: podcasts who are able to 'upgrade' old episodes to include whatever New Thing They Need To Advertise, or Event Of The Moment. Okay, feel free to advertise the Premature Assimilation Tour on the latest episode, fine. I don't need to hear it about an episode that was recorded years before.

It's just creepy. I remember I first listened to Serial and it had constant ads for some service called Mail Chimp. I re-downloaded a couple episodes later and the ads were changed to the Steve Jobs movie starring Michael Fassbender. I miss those mail chimp ads

The opposite and equally annoying situation involves idiots that use the clips on the isometric squat machine or anything else that isn't a free weight. I want to face-palm every time I see this. The clips are a scarce/precious resource. In regards to "no, but..." My wife often times says, "yeah, that's what I'm saying," when I agree with her by rehashing what she said and relating a similar experience. Sometimes it doesn't bother me at all. Other times, I want to scream, "I know that's what you're saying! I'm loving agreeing with you!" It's just a habit she picked up somewhere, but it's pretty annoying because she makes me feel like I'm some idiot who missed the point entirely.

Best Canada/fourth days I ever had was 2015. We spent both nights hanging out at the Thousand Islands international border bridge watching the binational fireworks, then as soon as we were back past the Ontario border check everyone in the car cracked beers from the trunk while I drove us back to Kingston. Then I caught up, of course. No loving with any traffic or strangers, just friends, fun, and the one place people don't go on National Day of Choice.

It's almost the fourth so that means all my dumbass neighbors are going to be shooting off fireworks at all hours of the day and night for like two weeks. I get it, we're rednecks, but cut out that drat racket. It's the middle of the dang city.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:People who say "pop." poo poo just sounds so dumb. Call it soda, call it coke, idgaf, just not "pop". That's what people around here call it. I call it "soda". My pet peeve, which I mentioned in another thread, is the fact that there are very few people around here that wear helmets when they ride their motorcycles. They don't really dress for it either. Every few years Iowa attempts to put some kind of helmet law on the ballots but they are always voted down in a "I don't want the government to tell me what to do" kind of way. Sure, helmets are irritating to lug around and probably to wear as well but it's better than having your brains all over the asphalt. There are quite a few preventable deaths in the town I live in where helmets would have helped. Not to mention we live on a street that is very popular for bikers to speed down, so I get to hear that noise often. Speaking of noise, Iowa also just passed a law allowing fireworks to be sold here (before many people drove to Eagleville in Missouri to buy fireworks that weren't sparklers and poo poo). I don't mind fireworks on the 4th but it's irritating a week before and a week after.

I have exchanges fairly often with my boyfriend that go a little something like this: : "Wait, so she went on paternity leave--" : "Maternity leave." : "That's what I said." : "No, you said paternity." : "I know what I said."It's not just him that does it, but you can't gaslight people into thinking you're not dumb.
