Why the gently caress can I somehow never remove a coffee filter without it collapsing and dropping the old wet grounds all over? Jesus

They really need to make a firmer material that can still filter water through. It's always a precarious walk with you gripping the very edges of wet paper hoping it doesn't rip like it so badly wants to.

I hate that I've developed this weird instinct to use a speed-testing app whenever my phone's connectivity is spotty.

Like, I never really get a "Yeah your speeds are shittier than normal" result. I get a "Nah, your speed is great" or simply spits back an error because the connection is poo poo enough that it can't connect to the speed-testing servers.

I have dumped exactly 4 baskets full of hot coffee grounds into my cleavage due to poor coffee pot placement and a tendency do only drink coffee while blindly hungover.

Learned how to whip my bra off like a champion stripper after the second basket so I say overall they're alright.

I hate when otherwise good games have massive bugs, like Steam game Sideway: New York- I had enormous fun playing it but took literally 7 years to beat Times Square, the final level - this is not because it's a bad level, it's a great level. The problem is it keeps crashing. The only way I beat it was to find 2 massive shortcuts built into the level which get me between the beginning and end of the level before it has a chance to start stuttering. Happily the collectibles are early enough that taking the level normally means it crashes about where the level meets the end of the second shortcut so I can consistently beat it and 100% it due to kind autosaving, but I shouldn't have to split the level into a "complete but unfinished" and a "shortcut to finish" run like that.

If I am driving you somewhere, don't talk poo poo about the music I'm playing. Not talking about volume, or disagreeing with the 'message' of the music, just a general "Ugh, this band is soooo bad, put something else on." No. I'm driving, so I pick music. This has always been established: driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.

From my standpoint as a person who will ask someone if they're "OK" if something looks off:

If it isn't OK, I help them. If they need a ride, I can do that. If they need a phone, I can do that. If they need advice, I can do that. If they need a hand lifting something, I can do that.

It's just trying to be nice. Many times, that stressed-out person just needs directions or just needs a cigarette. No harm in asking. I've needed a hand plenty of times.

This differs from the "Are you OK? You look tired." people.

gently caress those guys. I am tired. That you can't fix. What do you gain from asking if I'm tired? Of course I am, I'm leaving work right now. I'm supposed to be tired.

"No, you look sad. Are you upset?"

Uh, no. I'm just a bit tired--

"No, I know your mental state right now better than you do, and you're totally sad and upset. Do you want to talk about it?"

Sometimes you have to be more forceful and change "please leave me alone" to "gently caress off". But then rumors start going around the office of your anger management problems.

Its not strongly a peeve, but its getting tired that so many rappers have Lil in front of their names. Lil Kim, Lil Uze Vert, Lil Bow wow (formerly), and all the others on this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil. I don't know if it has a special meaning in the music sphere but when I see a new Lil whatever I kind of sigh that there's another Lil. Really just a minor annoyance but whatever; its their life and career.

I lifted the basket out of the coffeemaker that was at cleavage height a bit too aggressively and hit the low overhead cabinets with the basket, thus dumping them down my front. I wouldn't carry them around in the basket cause when I've done that I slipped on a wet floor and set off a coffee grounds bomb that took an hour to clean.

My friend's favorite movie is some slock called Lucky Number Slevin, and it's poorly written and a mess. But he loves the movie. I told him it was good but he insists I meant to say the best ever. Constantly brings it up. The movie is so bad I doubt Bruce Willis even has it listed on his resume.

Meanwhile I told him to watch It and The Girl With All The Gifts and he meh'd them both.

He also refuses to watch any movies with subtitles because "the last book he read was in high school." And he hates reading. So he will never see Pan's Labryinth or watch One Punch Man because of that.

You have my sympathy. I've never watched Fight Club because a friend at college kept nagging me to, to the extent he put the video in my bag. It stayed in their for a month before he got the hint. I'm sure Fight Club is a perfectly good film, I just had stuff I wanted to watch/do more, and I hate being nagged into something.
