You also cannot physically add anything except for leaving a separate comment that the people you re-tweet it to won't see.

People who consistently spell common words wrong even after being corrected multiple times. An extremely common one seems to be "looses" instead of loses. They mean completely different things and don't even sound the same when you say them out loud.

Speaking of kittens, when people say "kiddy-corner" instead of "kitty-corner". For one, it's the wrong spelling, and for another, just the phrase itself even spelled correctly is annoying. Like I know what it means but not why it's called that, and many times I've seen people who have never heard it and had no clue what they meant. It's much more clear to just say "go to the near/far right/left corner at this intersection coming from X direction" than saying "oh it's kitty-corner to the CVS". It's longer, sure, unless you have to clarify.

It's better than the local colloquialism of "down yonder". Used like: "Yep, that Dollar General is just down yonder from the old Tuckerman farm." I have stopped asking for directions because everyone here talks like that. I don't even know how long a yonder is, never mind what the hell the old Tuckerman farm is, that's a church now. Goddamn Boomhauer talking rednecks. And okay I talk like that too, but that's the worst part. It's contagious.

I live with someone who is incapable of planning ahead, lacks resourcefulness and a massive pain in the rear end to help. Hope you miss your flight tomorrow. Seriously, if you are the type of person who loses their poo poo every time you are going to travel somewhere, then people deserve to not be a part of your life.

Punctuality is very close to the top of traits that I value. I don't care if you're a loved one or a friend, if you are depending on me for a ride to get to the airport or whatever and you are loving around well past the deadline, I will ditch your rear end and go myself. You can deal with the extra expenses of missing a flight, it wasn't my fault. Have these people never heard of alarms? If you're that bad at alarms, stagger them like an adult and get up when you have to. One time I even had to resort to my dad's old method of getting me out of bed: emptying the ice tray into their pants/shirt. If I am there pouring ice down your pants it was time to get up well over half an hour ago.

You can deal with the extra expenses of missing a flight, it wasn't my fault. Have these people never heard of alarms? If you're that bad at alarms, stagger them like an adult and get up when you have to. More specifically. I have to help them print out tickets one day ahead. While being yelled at. Some people can't help but lash out at everyone within a 5-meter vicinity whenever something is going slightly awry. You would instead expect them to calm down if they are getting help.

Anyone buying glutenfree foods who is not genuinely gluten intolerant. Thanks, hippie, for letting corporations know that they can create new demands and sell us poo poo we don't need. If you are the type of person who makes it a big deal for everyone else and they have to make adjustments for you (family dinners, holidays, restaurants), then gently caress you! All the disadvantages of having a vegetarian around, but instead of being an empathetic person you are just a sucker.

As opposed to over there, which is a location we can both see. So if I said 'My car is over yonder', and I gestured at a hill, you could surmise that my car was on the other side of the hill. I say we bring yonder back, y'all!

People who are sick yet come into work anyway. Guy left on Monday because he was obviously sick, Tuesday morning I see him back again and I think “oh, he must be better” Nope, he’s even worse and coughing and hacking everywhere so they have to find a replacement again and send him home. Just call in sick. Nobody is praising you for being hero for working when you’re ill. You actively piss me off at that point because now I’m getting an extremely plugged up nose and I’m worried it’s a precursor to a cold. Just stay the gently caress home and take the time needed to recover and you’ll get better much faster.

The Black Stones posted:People who are sick yet come into work anyway. I'm sure a flood of "but in some places you'll get fired for not coming in" etc is coming but I agree. For the places obsessed with doctor's notes, they should really offer a service where you can get a free electronic one without actually going to see the doctor by calling them up and describing your symptoms. I'm sure that would be abused but it would be pretty easy to tell the difference between people using it correctly and people who are abusing it.

Our business has sick time and I’ve called in a ton of times and they go “okay yeah, just get a sick note” and after a while I stopped even doing that because I stopped giving a poo poo and my family doctor can only be seen one day a week (I need a new doctor). I have yet to be punished in any way. I’m sure it’s that way in other businesses, but this guy can definitely call in sick just chooses not too.
