Seriously? What kind of joke/visual gag only exists for one frame? If you have the preview window, you'll catch it. This is only a problem if that doesn't exist for some reason. E: Or maybe I misunderstood. Another current peeve is my own irritability today. I don't even know why I'm annoyed, I just am.

As you could've clearly seen had you read the post before quoting it, I said it was possible-just-annoying to manually search the video. I said it was impossible to just skip to the intended moment unless I knew the timecode for the intended moment. Seriously, are you actually reading my post, or just no-content responses as fast as you can? Either there's a timecode, or you're randomly hunting for the important part of a video where it's impossible to beeline for the important part.

I always post timestamps, not doing so is obnoxious unless you are discussing the whole video. And even with the little window, that only works if its a visual thing like a guest star - you can scrub through the video looking for the face certainly, that is easy, but if it's a funny line it's almost impossible to tell when it's being said based on the position on one persons mouth for one frame.

Elizabethan Error posted:yah, no, that's still not impossible. sorry you like to redefine words to whatever you think they mean. Are you arguing it's possible to go through a ten+ minute video for the precise moment you're looking for on the first try, every time? I get it, not reading the posts and all, but c'mon. You're arguing against why timecodes exist, and why youtube baked them into their videos.

People who don't loving listen. I don't know what the hell it is, but I work admissions and I have to ask people for their name. I'll clearly ask people "What is your LAST name?" and they'll give me their first name. I'll say, "Thank you, what is your LAST name." and then they'll just loving repeat their first name and get angry at me when I have to ask again. If you'd just listen and give me the info I need, I'd be able to get you in faster, instead of telling me your name is Jane/John sixteen times. I'll be happy to put in your first name in a second, but I gotta get your LAST NAME first. So many people do this.

Sure, I know he's doing a bit since you can't really argue against the use of timecodes, but I was trying to elaborate. Another pet peeve: people who think I'm joking or being an rear end when they have an accent. I'm not asking you to repeat something for my health, I'm sincerely trying to parse what you're saying and I'm trying my best.

If the package is big enough I cant assign it in a neat order and require a name to find it faster. Every loving time I ask they just give me their first name. "Its john". Thanks, that was really loving specific. Same as you, even if I ask for their full name they just go "John" again as if I will be able to trap their soul into a lamp if I learned it.

Way back when I worked at Blockbuster, 75% of people would give me their phone number after I specifically asked for their last name in order to access their account. Sometimes I wouldn't even be able to finish asking for their name before they started saying digits. I guess to be fair, the Video Works across the street used phone numbers, but man. I will never forget that dumb face they made while confidently saying their phone number. That eyeballs-up-eyebrows-up-eyelids-closed look that I'm sure most retail employees are all too familiar with.

So instead of speakers for my PC, since it's in a room close to where my mom watches TV (sometimes) I have headphones on. I tell her every time I am putting them on, so if she calls for me, chances are I won't hear it. This does not stop her from yelling across the house and getting snippy that I don't reply, or throw off the headset and run out to see her arguing with the cable box. I've tried to explain that yes, I can pause movies, no, I can't pause live games, and much like her Facebook timed games, walking away from the keyboard doesn't pause it! Sometimes I am tempted to just use speakers instead. Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 04:27 on Mar 29, 2018 |

Cowslips Warren posted:yelling across the house Where do these people who think it's okay to do this ever even come from? Who raised them? My parents taught me that yelling is only okay if someone is in imminent danger or is hurt and needs help. All of my friends and I knew this as a basic rule of life, like "don't be lovely to other people" and "don't put running toasters into bathtubs", but somehow in my adult life I constantly run into people who think that this is a normal way to interact with people. If you want to talk to somebody, go talk to them, fucker. It's especially bad at work where people getting caught in machinery is a real danger and a thing that happens. I'll hear someone yelling, drop what I'm going and to sprinting off to save them, then discover it's just someone yelling about how much gas they have because of the cabbage they ate or some poo poo.

Nobody in my family is fat, but we do have stairs. And kids. And yes “Hey! [insert whatever loud question here]?!” gets yelled a lot from one floor to the other. We’re probably just bad people though. That’s entirely possible.

The best thing ever to alleviate yelling in my family is when we got a house with an open stairwell/foyer. We just talk down into it like normal and the whole downstairs can hear us. Before then though we'd shout because who the fucks going to go up a flight of stairs because they need help bringing in groceries etc?

Texts that say "CALL ME" Is it urgent? Can you leave a hint as to what I'm calling you about? Also, voicemails instead of texts. Checking a text is a lot more convenient and less intrusive than checking a voicemail. In most cases I'll immediately look at a text whereas I'll listen to voicemails once a day or so unless it's expected.

A few years back, my mom called me at about 7:30 am on a Thursday in September when I'm driving in to work. My first thought is that someone is dead or in the hospital. She wanted to know what my schedule for visiting them over Christmas was. It's the morning on a weekday, I can't really chat, and it's 3 months to Christmas, I haven't even thought about Halloween yet.

I don't mind phonecalls but I hate the "what are your plans a few months from now" calls. I don't even know what I'm doing TODAY. When I make plans they are almost always impulsive, I hate planning more than like a week ahead of time. Just wait and see.

There's a dumb joke I came up with at work that I really want to use some day but it requires way too specific a buildup to be workable. Some customers at my tech support job have started using the Surface Pro for home use which has caused a lot of new problems to crop up. The Joke is thus: I have heard that a lot of writers are having trouble with Windows 10 tablets - they have great ideas for underlying themes and metaphors that they want to use, but just cannot nail down a coherent plot. I guess that they are having trouble with their Surface Prose

Windchimes. Motherfucking windchimes. My blessed mother has 9 of the loving things hanging around the house in random spots so you can't escape the tinkling, clanging, ear bleedingly rhythmless noise. If I wasn't terrified of what mother would do to me, I'd clip every loving string and bend all the pipes and toss them in the garbage where they belong. I just want to smoke in peace and now I'm contemplating minor property damage. Windchimes, man. gently caress!

You don't have to spend like a minute closing it to stop it from creaking at all like you're robbing the place, but at least turn the handle like you said and be gentle with it. It's not complicated.

The oxymoron of people who say they know nothing about computers and want your help, but claim to know more about you on specific things while you are trying to help them and think you are doing it all wrong. While just generally being very rude and interjecting. Rules are very simple if you want tech support in my book: 1. Tell me what you want to do 2. Answer questions and do so directly, no beating around the bush 3. Shut up EDIT: Also, while I am at it. Whenever you ask someone how long time you think it will take and they give you the "Dunno". I don't want to know how long it will take down to the last detail. Is it about one hour, a week, a month? I am not rushing you, I am just trying to make my own schedule work. If I know it will take a long time, I will have the patience of a saint. It takes as long as it will take and I can accept that. Not knowing how long it will take, however, drives me nuts.
