Some people are going ape poo poo because the Yankees are going to have player names on their jerseys for two days. They are nicknames too like "Chief" but no, tradition!

Similarly, I used to be vegetarian, then vegan. I'm not anymore but I hate when people feel the compulsion to dunk on non-meat-eaters. If I ever went out to eat with anyone besides close friends or family I'd try to feign my order of a vegan option as merely preference, because inevitably if you admit you are vegeterian or vegan you're going to get a stream of "you know field mice die in farming" and "OM NOM NOM BOY THIS BLOODY COW FLANK FLESH IS SOOOOOOOOO GOOD" and "You know humans can't survive without meat???" for the rest of the meal. The preachy vegan is the stereotype but in my experience it's far more likely that the vegan will get preached at by others.

People get so butthurt about eating meat, as if they think I will run away and cry at the sight of a burger. I had someone try to tell me beef would cure my back issues, another who angrily retorted "WELL THAT'S JUST MORE MEAT FOR ME!" as if I had stolen every ounce of animal flesh off his plate and now he was finally able to feed himself. I give zero shits about what other people eat but people get really loving whiny when you don't eat what they like.

Not that they follow a particular team, just that they enjoy the sport and get pleasure from seeing it played well. Or people who follow a specific player rather than a team. One of my coworkers likes baseball in general, probably because he got into it from playing fantasy baseball. I'm ALMOST like this, but the fact that I live on the east coast means that most of my strongest opinions are going to be about teams in my time zone. Of course, I've been bored enough to watch central/west teams play, and I enjoyed myself enough, but it's not the same.

I think the sport I least like talking about with other people is college football despite being a big fan of it. I have a friend I went to UF with and if I ever make the mistake of saying "I hope (other SEC team) wins tonight" he goes nuclear and calls me a loving retard for wanting the people "we" are competing with for recruiting to succeed. I mean, he does have a point, but me hoping they win under certain circumstances (like playing a poo poo team like ohio state or miami) has absolutely nothing to do with the outcome, who cares. It's like getting really mad at someone for saying they hope it rains - either it will or it won't, your desires don't enter the equation at all.

They exist but if you follow a league closely you're usually gonna take a particular liking to a team. And there are definitely people who primarily follow individual players, especially NBA fans.

The phrase "vidya gaymz", or variations thereof. Like, I'm OK with it in the context of making fun of someone treating a toy as Serious Business, but in any other use it can gently caress right off. (this is a slightly self inflicted peeve, because I follow a guy on twitter that is so worried about how people see him that he feels compelled to make "be sure to play vidya gaymz" tweets every couple days, and I haven't unfollowed him for it, yet)

I hate when you gently caress up the first couple letters while typing on your phone, and hoping against hope that if you keep adding letters, your keyboard will understand what you meant to type without having to clear the entire word and start over. It never happens.  It'll be gibberish, so you have to start over.

Been there too many times. This guy at work has been there for like four months and seemingly cannot grasp a working kitchen. This dude is always taking up multiple tables; standing in front of doors, even the cooler door when you're trying to get out; ignoring other people's alarms/buzzers even if asked to pull something if the buzzer goes off, I'll be right back; using the oven mitts for the steamer so they get wet and burn the gently caress out of your hands; tying knots in the bags of pasta instead of just enclosing them in the airtight storage bin. I feel like I should study this guy, so if I ever need a character that innocently fucks up everything I have ideas.

I recently had my finger placement juuust off enough while texting that I was going for the letter 's', but instead went through the sequence of 'a - backspace - d - backspace - a - backspace - d - m - backspacebackspacegoddamnit - s'. It was unexpectedly infuriating.

Just had to sew a button back of a pair of trousers, so annoying to do even when you know how. The material is thick enough getting the needle through it is a pain and the material is dark so you can barely see where the thread goes in, so you end up making more holes and therefore more work than you need to. Cheaper than spending the money for a new pair though.

The newish "captcha" bullshit where you have to click through like 8 sequences of "select the street signs" or the endless "click until there are no images of vehicles left". It was extremely annoying when it was just "type this bunch of distorted letters", but now it's infuriating. It's also wrong a lot of the times. It will tell you to identify the street signs but then gives you things that aren't street signs and expects you to pick them and gives you the obnoxious "please try again" message and makes it even longer. If you already know what squares are "correct", why am I even doing this?

Go inside if it's that large an order A person in front of me at McDonald's did this. He was in a van full of people and was taking eight years to order. Car behind me got impatient and started honking. The guy in front thought it was me, so he paused, stuck his head out the window, and glared at me. Fortunately he didn't say or do anything, but I had to wait in the drivethru for like five minutes while they finished his order, all the while he's glaring at me from his rearview mirror. Unrelated pet peeve: when you've finally found a comfortable position in bed, and then it dawns on you that you have to pee.

Go inside if it's that large an order I had something similar happen to me the other day. I had just an order of fries at McDonald's the other day, and I was getting more and more offended that more complex orders were being done before mine. Like, I've worked at kitchens, so I know they have to do them in general order. But gently caress, man, knock out the simplest orders first! Grab some fries, clear the order!

Also when people pause and grope through their food to make sure the kitchen did it right before driving away. Especially here. I live in west Texas and there's a local mexican food chain that's not quite fast food Taco Bell poo poo but does have drive thrus. On monday, they have bean burritos for a dollar. These things keep pretty well in the fridge, and are very tasty, so sometimes you'll see students and the like buying 20 bean burritos on mondays. Why the gently caress do you need to check if your burrito pyramid is good? What are you even checking for?"HMM yes, this looks like a garbage bag full of burritos."

Very specific: there's one really boring, time-wasting task that we have to do on the weekends at work and repeatedly my coworker has seen me doing it and said "hey, don't worry about that stuff, I'll do it", and he never does. And if I do it before he gets here, he'll say "hey, why'd you do that, I was gonna do that!" But he's literally never done it. Why do you keep telling me that, even though you've repeatedly proved to me that you won't? He might as well come in and say "hey, I'm gonna do all my work on the ceiling today".oldpainless posted:The correct number of burritos? more like oldbeanless Magic Hate Ball has a new favorite as of 16:35 on Aug 13, 2017 |

Going on Metacritic to look at reviews for a game I might consider purchasing, only to find that a sizable chunk of the reviews on the first page are in a foreign language. It'd be one thing if I knew that from the get-go, but they go as far as to translate the little blurb into english. You have 30+ reviews and the rest of your website is in english, put those at the top!

I use like embroidery thread for sewing on buttons, especially functional ones, because it's much more thread all at once.
