Peeve: People that don't know how big their vehicle is. If you have a car with the temporary plates, so I can tell you literally just bought your car, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the jackasses who have been driving for years and still are ridiculously unaware of the amount of space their car takes up. Sub-peeves based on that one: 1. People who swing so far left when turning right (and vice-versa) that they go partly into the lane next to them. The lane is big enough for you to turn without doing that! You're just putting us both at risk, stay in your lane! 2. People who can NOT park within their space to save their life. Half the people in my apartment complex take up a space and change when they park. Almost every day, when I go to drive somewhere, the incompetent moron next to me is far enough in to my space that there's no way not to notice that your parking is messed up, yet they never adjust.

Every time someone puts a tip of any size in the tip jar, the employees (usually 2 or 3 of them) have to sing a snippet of some rehearsed song, like... Happy Birthday, or Baby got Back, or some other bullshit, always with the words changed to be about ice cream or whatever. Every time. Also, the sizes can't just be small, medium, large they have to be 'like it', 'love it', and 'gotta have it' oh my god just let me order a regular amount of ice cream without anyone singing

An elderly black lady stopped me to check my receipt for cat litter and like three other items. "Y'all got a cat?" Um...yep. I've also been to a restaurant (a sushi place in Vancouver Metrotown) that had call buttons at the tables. You'd press it, and you'd hear the ding somewhere back in the kitchen, but the staff completely ignored it until you flagged them down in the traditional fashion.

Cold Stone sounds mental, I think I have to check it out for the sheer spectacle next time I'm in the States (whenever that is). My current ice cream related pet peeve is that it's so hard to find Dippin' Dots here.

I haven't been to Cold Stone in many years but I remember ordering a small and I feel like they gave me like a pound of ice cream. It's ridiculous in a bad way because the ice cream is also way too sweet. A good ice cream you feel like you can eat it all night. But these were disgusting.

We used to go to Cold Stone all the time after school events and everyone would get like, a Super Jumbo with a billion mix-ins and it was just awful. You might as well just knock out all your teeth and stab yourself in the pancreas. It doesn't even taste good - it's the perfect symbol of bland suburban excess.

There are customer facing screens, so instead of seeing a list of items you're buying as they are scanned you get to just awkwardly look at a recording of yourself. I swear that they must have also enacted a policy that cashiers aren't allowed to interact with customers, because none of them ever speak. I said "have a good day" once and the cashier looked at me like they were loving terrified. I also just walk past the bag checkers so I have no idea what they are pretending to think that treating all of the customers like criminals is supposed to do. I'd shop somewhere else if there were any other stores left.

I hate that place. They have dumb "wacky" rules too like if someone asks for ketchup they make everyone in the restaurant bring them their ketchup bottles. gently caress you, let me eat these 20 dollar scrambled eggs in peace. also they don't like it when you're mean back to them. I threw a jelly packet at the back of the waiter's head when I was much younger and he got pissed off because it popped and got in his hair. Shouldn't have put me in "jail" bitch.

In France, you can be finished eating for quite some time and the waiters won't make eye contact with you unless you wave your arm in their peripheral vision enough for them to notice. They do not like for the customer to feel rushed. A lot of American restaurants sort of compromise by giving you your check as you finish saying, "here is your check, but NO RUSH, NO RUSH AT ALL, WHENEVER YOUR ARE READY!"

It's like that in a lot of places in europe, at least in germany/switzerland. It's kind of annoying honestly. If we're not hanging out and drinking coffees or whatever I think it's safe to assume we are done without being rude/rushing. I think any busy restaurant though no matter where it is will try and get you out after a reasonable amount of time once you've stopped spending money on coffee/wine/whatever, otherwise they are bad at running a business.

I much prefer the french style. I also enjoy how a lot of french businesses tend to be less pushy and expect the customer to start interactions. Not familiar with any other euro countries but I imagine it’s broadly true. One of the reasons going to stores like Best Buy sucks is you can’t go ten feet or browse for any length of time without getting swarmed by staff, while in smaller stores I often feel like I’m trying to think with multiple staff loitering over my shoulder.

I just don't buy that making people have to ask for a check and otherwise not bother them makes customers come back. The food and ambiance is going to do that on its own if it's good. Being presented with the check isn't the same as being told to leave, but you as a customer should respect the business and realize that if you're no longer spending money there you should leave (again, after a reasonable amount of time once everything you bought/plan to buy is finished).

There's this small chain of sporting goods stores in the GTA, Sporting Life, and while I like their products, I hate going in because I will be asked if I need help every time I walk in, walk into a new section or so much as stop to look at an item. Looking for where they hid the price tag (another pet peeve)? Expect to have someone over your shoulder asking if you need a size, a fitting room, etc. No, I don't need a fitting room for a pair of gloves, which also has all the materials and features on the card they're hanging from. I get being asked if I need help once or twice, but, no exaggeration, 6 times in 8 minutes is just too much. I know the intention is to make you feel valued and provide you with a helping hand, but it just makes me feel hounded and pressured at best or suspected of shoplifting at worst.

People mashing the up + down buttons when waiting for an elevator, just so that they can get on it going the wrong direction. And then furiously mash the close doors button as people going in the correct direction go off. Which will of course slow things down even more, because people sometimes get confused and step off the elevator because it say, stopped at the 8th instead of 9th floor. Because the person on the 8th floor could not wait for the elevator to go to the 9th, then start going down again. But hey, just like with busses/trams/subway cars, the most efficient way to travel is to ram yourself onto it as fast as possible, with no regard for letting others off first.

People who won’t step on it when passing at a just-slightly-faster speed, thus spending ages in your blind spot, spending a minute or more creeping alongside, and then finally passing and spending more time with you in their blind spot. Tap the gas and presto, pass over. Idiot.

I remember when I was learning how to drive- I had a great instructor with a thick Romanian accent, and he was adamant about this. He stressed the importance of committing to actions in driving; always follow through with what you start, etc. "Remember, Sunshine. If you are going to do something, do something. If you are not going to do something, do not do something. Do not try to do half of something; it will not work and it will make everybody pissed off."

Just wait for the next one, an elevator isn't worth running for especially when there are like 4 other ones.

People who get into a lift and immediately start hammering the "close doors" button. People do this all the time at the train station near my house and I don't understand why. They do it as the people behind them are still walking into the lift, they do it as the doors are already closing, they just seem to do it compulsively.

People who take criticism with a BLOCK DON'T EVER CONTACT ME AGAIN stance. I used to read a webcomic (not CAD in this reference) and I never really enjoyed it, but I read it mostly because i liked the author's other works. The comic's art was loving horrible, the writing was poo poo, but I kept giving it a chance, and finally commented on one of her feeds that I much preferred another work she did (and honestly a lot of her new stuff was a direct rip from Game of Thrones). She sent me a nasty email that she was done dealing with my attitude, and blocked me from her art pages and feeds. It's like, dude, I'm allowed a critical opinion, and when you block everyone who doesn't comment with "OMG that is so cool!" it doesn't make you a good artist, it makes you look super insecure.

Video games shouldn’t have music when you pause them. It’s extremely annoying to pause a game cause someone is calling you or trying to talk to you from another part of your house and then have to fumble for the remote or get up and physically turn the thing down. I don’t need a totally different score during the pause screen Telltale! I’m pausing because I don’t want to pay attention to you at the moment!
