That's why I change my answer after the third "yes". The anxious will just freak out and take your "no" at face value despite three confirmations, and the preeners will get all hostile. e: "Actually, the more I hear of your idea, the less I like it..."

When we moved to our new place my wife was adamant that we get two laundry hampers, one for light colors and one for dark colors, so that we can wash them separately without having to sort them beforehand. A month later and she just throws all of her poo poo into a random hamper (and never the same one each time!) so I have to sort everything by hand anyway

Let's do the dishes, in a house with no dishwasher & a single sink! *and leave teabags in mugs *and don't scrape off plates (waterlogged cheese, anyone?) *and certainly don't rinse a dish (yogurt concrete!) *and just toss in cutlery willy nilly.. don't put it in a cup so it stays separate, silly!

People being lazy about dishes is infuriating because so much dish nastiness can be easily avoided. A minute or two of basic cleanup before leaving the poo poo in the sink makes the difference between a short, easy full wash later on and a massive, disgusting chore.

Don't forget cement cereal! or six day old coffee that's only now found its way downstairs and now reeks! even worse, some of my roomates don't even throw their poo poo in the trash. if they make like, a microwave burrito or something they'll just leave the packaging on the counter instead of dropping it in the garbage on their way out of the kitchen. It's literally on the way out of the kitchen! you have to pass the garbage can to get out! I HATE IT.

The last few pistachios in a handful that you can't eat easily because they crack open at all, or incompletely.

use one of the shells from the pistachio you've already cracked to open the partially opened one. put it in the crack and twist it, the pistachio will pop open. easy peasy.

My mom likes to call me at like, 10-11 in the morning randomly on weekdays. She knows I work full time 8-5 on weekdays so I assume that there's an emergency or that someone died. Nope. "Just wanted to say hi, oh are you at work??" Must be nice to be retired.

Do people usually use their washing machine as a hamper? Like if you live alone and only do your laundry I can understand, but why would you do that when there are other people who have their own clothes to wash? I don't like carrying a load of towels upstairs only to open the lid to see a pair of skid marked underwear laying on top of a full load of clothes that they didn't bother washing. Or otherwise, its two or three now dry articles of clothing that have been in there god knows how long, which I have to wash again because they smell like mildew. Also I live with someone who apparently in the two years they've been living in this house has never even watched someone load the dishwasher. Pots and lids (and they always leave pots and pans in the sink to "soak") don't go in there and yet, when I wash the pot and go to put it away, looking for the matching lid, it's in the dishwasher! And the dishwasher isn't even full and they've already started it. That's just so wasteful

I have done the washing machine as hamper thing, living alone of course. Especially working a crappy kitchen min wage job where I had to be re-washing uniform shirts all the drat time. My pet peeve is those sort of lovely jobs that require you to wear a uniform t-shirt or something but they'll give employees 0-1 free shirts/hats and if you don't want to wash every day/be disgusting perpetually you have to get your pay docked for multiple shirts. Mostly for jobs where it just doesn't matter. It's always either kitchen staff who don't interact with guests or various grocery/service positions where you're almost certainly wearing a name tag if not a hat. The shirt doesn't add anything for the customer it just racks up laundry time.

I work for a multi-billion dollar company that gives us three shirts a year! After that we pay $18 for a lovely black shirt that's going to fade to a sharper shade of grey in a month. I have more holes in my three shirts than I can afford in one load of laundry. I hate my job except the awesome parts where I melt metal. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 03:09 on Jul 6, 2017 |

One thing I find really annoying is how new highlighter pens (at least those Stabilo Boss ones that are the standard these days) always wobble all over the place the first time you use them, before you've broken in the nib, and make a mess of what you're trying to highlight.

That's Gross

Its nice being from a socialist utopia where 2 weeks worth of polos/t-shirts along with 3 pairs of work trousers and 2 pairs of safety boots are provided free of charge at the start of every year in my job. Along with a tax refund being available to account for the cost of washing said items at home. That said, washing and drying clothes is my pet peeve. Its not particularly time consuming its just annoying. I eagerly await our sterile chrome future where nothing needs cleaning again.

Restaurants that make employees pool their tips, resulting in a setup where everyone is responsible for everything (meaning nobody is responsible for anything), so you get things like one waiter taking your drink order, another taking your food order, somebody from the kitchen bringing it out, and some totally random person bringing your check, which is the wrong one because he didn't know what you ordered because he was waiting on another table. I don't know what the point of this nonsense is, but it's annoying as hell. Let me have ONE server, and I'll gladly tip him/her generously.

Tipping culture. People will dock or increase whatever they think is a "proper" tip for so many bullshit reasons, as long as the recipient works a certain job. But why does a cashier or a cop or cook get a set rate but a server gets their wage decided by the guests whim? No one should be "expected" to work for tips.

I've worked two kitchens and we didn't get tipped out. It's especially insulting when the servers start bragging about how busy it is and how they made 100 bucks this hour, while the cooks are living in literal burning-hot hell for the same wage they would get for standing around at 3pm on a wednesday. Extra double insulting is how in a bind, the kitchen can and does send out totally-unprepared kitchen mooks to run tables and they do ok, whereas no untrained server can ever, ever handle the kitchen.

Running tables is easy, keeping up with tickets is a pain and no one, on earth, can do it without training. e: my biggest pet peeve ever is a waiter thinking they could handle my job as a line cook. It's not rocket surgery, but it's not even remotely simple. No you don't deserve the tips and grats, rear end. fizzymercury has a new favorite as of 02:10 on Jul 7, 2017 |

Cyclists riding side-by-side on a busy multi-use path. I don't mind this so much when it's parents and their children but 90% of perpetrators are older folks wearing jerseys and riding nice bikes. You don't get to that point without knowing that this is not acceptable behavior.

You people who take all of the dishes back out of the sink to wash them must just have a different way of washing dishes than your roommates or something. Are you washing each dish individually under running water?

People who think you need a pristine clear empty sink full of water to clean dishes. The idea that you need to submerge the whole mess in water and thus anyone who impedes the idiot "submerge all! ! " dishwashing style is some kind of gross retard is just well, gross and dumb, If you don't have an energy-efficient dishwashing machine, grab a sponge and some soap. Stop filling your poo poo with disgusting food plates. The whole "fill half the sink with water then scrub" mindset is as ancient as it is dumb Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 00:38 on Jul 8, 2017 |
