My pet peeve stems from air travel: people who put their gross bare feet on the back of the arm rest in front of them. Forcing you to either sit really uncomfortably with your arms or risk touching their nasty toes.

That one destroys me every time, because they thought they'd come up with so many creative clever names that they couldn't share just one by naming the goddamn baby, they had to include the "runners-up".

According to some stupid article a read a while ago, the reason you have trouble pronouncing the Crazy Names some Black People give their kids means you're a racist. It didn't mention what it meant if you also have trouble with Crazy Names some White People give their kids.

Why is it those types of moms always end the names with "lenn" or "lee" sounds? It's weirdly homogeneous.

I've given a lot of consideration to having my name changed to my current name except spelled correctly. My mom got in on the ground floor of the trend back in the 80s and yup it makes me look special and stand out because now every time I have to tell someone my name they think I'm an idiot. I can't even just go by my middle name because it's spelled wrong too.

This crazy hippie lady came into my work and INSISTED that I was named after some religious catholic Italian saint, and despite me telling her that no, I was born in communist Russia and my parents weren't religious so there's no way I was named after that and anyways I asked them before and they said they just liked the name, she wouldn't take what I said as an answer. Then she was like, oh your name is very popular in Russia! (It isn't) and that "Eastern Orthodox" is the same as Catholicism and they pray to saints as well (or something, can't remember but afaik Russian orthodox doesn't do that stuff). E: to clarify how stupid it was the conversation went as follows. I said my name was let's say "Kate" and she was like, "oh! You're named after saint Kate Caravaggio!" I told her I was born in communist Russia and therefore not named after some Italian saint, but she insisted that I was and I just had to ask my parents to confirm it. This back and forth went on for about 5 minutes. Peeve being people who won't budge their opinions despite proof otherwise. And/or tout them as facts. This lady also ranted to my coworkers for 2 hours about how drinking hot garlic water will cure you of all your ailments and you'll never have a cold or headache ever again! And unfortunately the coworkers seemed to be buying it. No the garlic won't help an obese old lady feel better, actual medicine will. Peeve (or hatred) being people who spread this type of bullshit about "natural cures" because then people who don't know better or are looking for a cure will go to this poo poo instead of legitimate medicine, potentially hurting themselves in the process (see: that lady who tried to cure her cancer with black salve and rotted her nose off). On the plus side this lady only ranted at me for 5 minutes until her ~healer intuition told her that I was probably going to murder her if she kept talking to me.

Stuff on the internet being given in American time. "This deal lasts until 1pm Pacific Time" - What the gently caress does that mean? I'm logged into my account, you know what loving time zone I'm in, stop giving me American time zones that I have to look up! And while we're at it, all trailers that specify things are coming out in a particular season. Not only do I have to translate that to the opposite season but also factor in the dumb way other countries measure seasons. If you're releasing it in July, say July! Everyone knows when July is!

Then people like me would have to look up what UTC is. No matter what you use a lot of people are going to have to look it up every time. It's not like there are an infinite number of time zones to remember, it's really not that hard to remember especially for the US time zones. And if you don't need to know regularly enough to memorize it, is it really that big a deal to take 2 seconds to google "time in california" or whatever once in a while?

I have probably complained about this before, but mother of God my coworker won't stop talking to me about her family drama. It's a completely one-sided conversation that I have no idea how to respond to (apart from nodding with the occasional "Oh no" or "Yeah, totally"). But the worst part is that she'll trail off, go back to her work for about ten seconds-- just long enough for me to think that it's over-- and then lean back over with "So I have a sister that's about two years older than me, and her husband's never liked me all that much..." This happened about five times this morning. And at the end of it I have barely any idea what she was saying, because I have ADD and it's hard enough keeping track of a conversation I actually DO give a poo poo about, let alone this. I feel like a bad coworker because I'm sure she just has no one else to talk to and wants to relate to someone, but dammit I just want to get these jobs done!

"Yeah, sorry, I'm trying to focus on something else right now for work. I'll let you know when I'm at a point to pay better attention to you." Repeated often enough, this actually works - from personal experience.

It's a completely one-sided conversation that I have no idea how to respond to (apart from nodding with the occasional "Oh no" or "Yeah, totally"). This. God is it annoying. During my phD we had a young teacher in our lab that used to tell everyone long stories about herself, her work, and how many students she had and how terrible they were at studying and how she had so many tests to grade and how many classes she had to teach and the students nowadays didn't do poo poo and so-and-so graded papers like this but she graded like that instead and how students wanted everything handed to them and they had no idea of how to work and look just look at the mistakes in here and did you know just how much work she still had to do? Right? In a lab where people were handling (sometimes dangerous) chemicals and preparing solutions and you were supposing to put all your attention into it, lest you caused an accident or had to start all over because you forgot to add something or other. She just didn't care if you told her "sorry I am working", just went on and on and on and on. It was distracting as hell. Hell, I once was listening to music in my laptop while I organized some data, took my headphones off and she asked me "Right?. I have no idea how long she had been there rambling away while seeing me with a pair of big white headphones over my ears.

Saving game! Do not press [enter, escape, power button, your right ear] during this! It's loving 2017. Even children know not to gently caress with poo poo while the game is saving (be it console or PC), and technology has progressed that the warning is generally gone before you could physically reach the button anyway.
