Trivial thing that annoys me: See the yellow box. Spine layouts for books in the same series or same line changing between new entries. Look at those Zorro ones. Looks a bit unprofessional to me. Or the Nero Wolfe ones: why's the green one slightly taller than the blue one?

I have no idea why anyone would want to voluntarily endure shoes for a second longer than they absolutely had to.

I don't like being barefoot or just wearing socks indoors, and I'm also not fond of tracking dirt around the house, but luckily this is why slippers exist! I love my slippers. (Or houseshoes or whatever you call them.) I'm like a grandma as soon as I get home-- loose "home" clothes, giant sweater/t-shirt in summer, slippers. And then I never leave the house again. Of course, for other people's homes it's a moot point unless you're some weirdo who carries slippers around with you, but I hate taking my shoes off at other people's houses. I don't know what's in your carpet! If it's not like it's raining or anything, I guarantee you won't need to mop/vacuum "every day" unless you obsess over floor cleanliness, in which case you'll probably be doing it anyway.

Probably some assholes who could count on never ever having to work on a thing, ever. gently caress flat head screws forever, and especially the lovely ones they use for wall outlets for some reason. While I share your hate of flat head screws on a general level, they're actually pretty much necessary for certain electrical applications.

I still track dirt around the house because I remain barefoot outside when I'm doing yard work and stuff unless there's a significant amount of snow on the ground. I tried slippers for a while but after I've had them on for about 20 minutes they're just as uncomfortable as any other shoe/sock. I think of shoes as being like gloves except for your feet, and I don't wear gloves around the house all day. http://www.graceusatools.com/item-details.php?item_id=72&category_id=1 I think that this is the set of flat screwdrivers I have. It completely unshits the experience because they actually fit the screws properly.

People like to take advantage of companies by putting in the bare minimum, and people who actually try make them look bad so you'll become a target and probably be the first on the layoff list for disrupting the workplace. Hard work isn't rewarded (in general) anymore.

The answer to that question, "Do you think you're better than me?" should always be: "If you feel asking that question is appropriate, then yes. I do think I'm better than you. Stop trying to drag me back into your miserable bucket of angry crabs."

I know I've complained about this before but gently caress APPLICATION FORMS!!!  The one I just filled out somehow took more than an hour. Format and software problems meant that I had to rebuild the a lot of it from scratch. The design was moronic. The history tables had separate columns for month and year for the to and from dates. The education history table also wanted separate completion dates so in total, 6 columns for the dates alone leaving a small amount of room for education establishment and qualifications. Good luck if you don't have microscopic writing! The other form this week was almost as bad. On top of wanting me to manually write everything I had already e-mailed to them on my CV (and very little else) by their request I also had to take a 40 minute trip to the library to scan and e-mail all of my certificates which they simply don't need at this stage in the application. The highlights of the lovely form design are (from what I remember) the employment history having no duties section and half a page being given just to tell them which schools and colleges you've attended but not what you've studied; that's on a separate page. This was all for a job requiring so little in terms of qualifications that they actually e-mailed me to make sure I wanted to apply before sending the form.

Why are there foley artists if they're going to never record another animal or scream sound again?

I always hate when people get lovely about celebrities just because they are celebrities. In the first series of panel show Would I Lie to You, Tara Parker-Tomkinson was a guest occasionally, and while she was a bit... off, she did have really funny moments, like when they were discussing the story of a different celebrity having cloud physically moved away from her birthday party, Tara pipes in with the notion that she had that done herself when she was younger, and sure that revealed a spoiled upbringing but she told the story fairly well and was funny. There was also a great moment when David Mitchell has to explain that he is writing a children's book called the Lonely Lighthouse, and Tara pipes in with "Is it autobiographical?" which was a funny thing to ask. All I see in the comments on her clips are people making GBS threads on her because she at least comes across as unintelligent and a bit weird, but she seemed nice enough and sometimes demonstrated some wit so I never minded her myself. She died recently of medical complications, and she had a drug problem, which probably explains the vagueness she demonstrated, but with what I saw of her she at least seemed reasonably nice for a socialite. It also seemed like she knew when she was making herself a target of the other panelists because of how she told her stories. She may have been a bitch on earlier TV appearances, I don't know, this was the only thing I've seen her in myself, but she seemed at least inoffensive as far as guests go.

People love lying to me to try to drop off lab samples over the weekend when everything but the Emergency department is closed. "I called ahead and the lab tech said it was fine" "Okay, I'll give them a call to confirm" "They told me you'd take me right up" "Nope, I have to confirm before taking anyone to a restricted area." "Well actually what they said was the lab is open 24 hours so they must have lied to me" "No lab has ever been open 24 hours, who did you speak to?" "I dunno" "What number did you call?" "I dunno"And then when I call the lab tech, she decides to do the guy a solid and try to process his sample anyway, only to find out he has none of the necessary paperwork and doesn't even remember the name of the doctor requesting it.  This sort of thing happens nearly every single weekend and it's always unbelievably transparent. One dude was told explicitly we weren't taking his sample, waited until I left the office, then left his sample and the paperwork on my window sill. Hospital policy made me shred the paperwork and destroy the sample for patient confidentiality/biohazard reasons, so have fun requesting medical paperwork and records because you couldn't be assed to drive fifteen minutes to the lab that's open on weekends, fool

I don't know if this is a pet peeve or just a thing pissing me off (probably both): [e/n]: An old friend of mine is back in town and stops by my place of work. We talk a bit as I'm closing up shop; he's been driving basically most of the night and all day and stopped by here (his brother works here as well) before heading over to his house. I tell him it's probably a good idea to just head home and get some sleep but he insists "no i'm fine I wanted to take you guys out to dinner". "You sure?" "Yeah, yeah" etc. Related, I mention that my parents are having a BBQ for labor day and ask if he'd like to just stop by there. He says he'd rather take us out to one of our old favorite restaurants so I tell my parents I probably won't be stopping by. I don't have a car; I ride my bike everywhere including to and from work. A storm is brewing. My friend and his brother stand in the parking lot trying to figure out if they can get my bike into the trunk before we decide it won't fit. They then start talking about what they want to do. "We can meet you here, or you can ride here and I"ll go here." "Well my new apartment is out here and this is how you get there" "Well I'm terrible with directions so" yada yada till eventually I just make the executive decision that I'm going to ride home and meet them there. Of course by this point it's too late and I'm caught riding home in the middle of a thunderstorm. Finally I get to my apartment and he shows up. I change and then get "well, maybe we can hang out tomorrow." I basically just say yeah fine and show him the door. So now I've got soaking wet shoes that I have to dry before I work in the morning from a storm I normally would have avoided, I'm hungry and I've also now missed my parents BBQ. [/e/n] My pet peeve is that my friend has no follow through and I'm constantly sacrificing poo poo, such as sleep, to do poo poo with him but it never pays off.

This is me being stupid, but I was listening to Patton Oswalt telling jokes and he referenced Coachella- a word I literally had never heard out loud before. I now know it's "co-a-chella", and not "coach-ella" and it made simultaneously go "that's loving dumb" and "ugh I'm so loving boring and uncool because I don't know how to pronounce that word and will never attend it"

I hate paper napkins. I never feel like I can get my hands clean using them without ripping them to shreds especially if they are on the thin side. It's why I never eat ribs unless I've cooked them at home. You eat ribs, you need a thick heavy towel.
