I know stores aren't keen on you using your own reusable shopping bags to do your actual shopping (i.e., to hold unpaid merchandise), presumably because it's easier to "accidentally" leave something in the bag when you unload at checkout. Related peeve: Yes, there are a few self-checkout lines labeled "no limit". Please do not wheel two overflowing carts into any of these lines.

There's a new trend of responding to offensive or idiotic things on social media with a single sentence phrase correcting it, but with the clapping hands emoji after every word. It feels like most of the time the correction is good and right, but those clapping hands make it instantly insufferable. It just screams smugness and pretentiousness. People need to stop doing it.

I almost killed a dude at a four way stop because after I stopped and started my turn, the fucker sped along the sidewalk and into the crosswalk because HE'S ON A BIKE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP AND HE HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY. Bikers who ride on the pavement/pedestrian path while pretending they are in Tour de France or something. Been knocked over twice by speeding bikes. One didn't even stop, the other stopped and yelled at me for "being a oval office who didn't get out of the way!"

Production company logos after shows; a string of cacophonous sounds and music, that can get up to five or six different awful noises in a row, right after the end to your favorite show's soothing closing theme.

Andrast posted:Wait, there are countries where stores don’t have baskets?  Wal Mart sometimes has baskets but they only have like 15-20 so they’re almost always out.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:No stores around me let you bring your own bags. They will kick you out for shoplifting. That’s crazy but something I worry about. I like to carry heavy things and HATE carts so occasionally my basket is full and I’ll put like 2-3 items in my reusable bag. I haven’t gotten yelled at yet but I always worry. Pet peeve: people who recommend CBT for everything, to everyone. “Hey I have severe anxiety.” “CBT!!!!” Instead of “dude, you need to see a psychologist and possibly psychiatrist.” “I have OCD and it’s debilitating.” “CBT!” No, they should see a specialist in OCD. “My heart beat is weird and sounds super irregular and sometimes pumps really hard, I’m not in great shape....” “CBT!!! You have anxiety!!!” No, they have to see a doctor immediately. CBT isn’t for everyone, and in most cases these people should be seeing a professional first who can diagnose them; some will suggest CBT but every patient and person is different.

People who congregate around the coffee machine to talk, blocking anyone else from getting to it without shouldering through the crowd, when there are perfectly good unused couches right across the room. It's like once they get their coffee they just park there. It's a dumb thing to be annoyed by I guess but it seems to happen every time I want to get up and get a cup of coffee, whether it's at work or even worse at a conference.

poptart_fairy posted:People that hover around, waiting to be noticed, without a simple "excuse me". This, in the gym. I get it that it is intimidating to ask someone if the machine/bench/whatever is free or that they could work in but nobody was killed just asking. I can take some time doing all my sets so I will share the machine 90% of the time between sets, if you ask. But they just hover around and have a sad puppy look on their face when you start another round...

Frozen panes on websites. Between them and the on-screen keyboard I can see gently caress all on my 7 inch tablet screen. My tablet case only accommodates landscape mode and in some cases you still can't see much of the screen in portrait mode. They're rarely needed and I don't remember seeing one on a page long enough for scrolling to be inconvenient.

Is it an emergency? Did an aquarium leak? One of the animals hurt or bleeding? THEN DO NOT loving WAKE ME FOR NO REASON. Half an hour before my alarm went off, my mom started screaming that we had ants. Which we do every year once the temps climb. And because we have lots of animals and food gets spilled. I stagger out of bed, she shows me where she sprayed poison, then told me to get back to bed because I looked like hell. .....keep in mind Saturday we had ants in another part of the house, early AM, and I cleaned up everything without waking her. Because it was 6am on a Saturday and one adult should be able to handle one trail of loving ants! Of course nothing beats the time I worked overnights, and someone woke me ten minutes after I fell asleep to see if I wanted to eat dinner with the family, despite knowing I worked overnights!

I've bitched about this before but it keeps happening to me: part of a menu loads up before the rest so I end up selecting the wrong thing. Every time I go to share a file with my friend, the place where his name is will suddenly become "share to new group" and I press it reflexively, so I have to go back. Absolute anger spike.

Apparently it's a "thing" at my workplace to put coins on the hot plates of the coffee makers, ie. between the hot plate and the jug. I'm not even sure what it's supposed to accomplish, other than being stupid as hell. People get really pissy if you remove them, but they can't really explain why they're even there in the first place. E: I think it's some sort of idea that the coffee won't be too hot then, but coffee makers have been temperature controlled for decades, so it's completely pointless. I get that on old lovely machines, it would just let the coffee sit there and boil into tar, but that hasn't happened since basically forever.

I had never heard of that before, ever. Apparently it's on a bunch of "lifehack" things for coffee though. It's stupid as hell. I've left a pot on for an entire day and it wasn't "burned" or "scorched". They probably just want to look "in the know" and they want to "educate" people about the proper way to make lovely pots of drip coffee.

I think what really happens is that most smaller offices just buy cheap coffee pots with a basic on/off switch at the local grocery store. In general someone fills their mug, and there's barely 1/4 of a mug left in the pot. They leave it on because there's still technically coffee in the pot, and then it just boils into sludge after a while. This happening about every other weekend caused my office to have some new coffee pots with built in shutoff timers to magically appear one morning last year.

Peeve: asking someone the day before a nine hour shift if they can come in another hour early. 10 hours is just as easy as 9! Oh no you don't get another break, likely not a break at all. Bitch, I already work 9 hours and have a ride-along with an idiot assistant manager tomorrow (who tends to fall asleep during the ride) for the entire shift, gently caress coming in for 10 hours of listening to an ex meth-head whine about the fact he has three daughters and wants a son to carry on the family name. That's another peeve: your imaginary son might NOT keep the family name! This isn't loving Game of Thrones!

Anyone who shares medical advice that is not qualified, especially if it is alternative medicine. Had a guy talk about sensitivity to foods so I interjected. ME: "Oh, you talking about food intolerance?" THEM: "No, food sensitivity". They redirect back to the original person THEM: "Ok, so I recommend you check for insensitivity for different foods with X doctor who has as qualifications: Homeopathy, something-something other "ology", X I can't even remember." Nothing based on science I guess. I hate that health always has to be some kind of stupid trend. Like it is trendy to eat glutenfree for example. People in my family claim to get bloated from half of the foods that are existent, they don't have any diagnosis or cause from their doctor though... Also in general, stop using money on poo poo unless it is proven to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWMrvQwDkzA. Midig has a new favorite as of 05:34 on May 10, 2018 |

People slamming on their brakes in stop-and-go traffic on the highway. Specifically; this time, it was raining. Some jackass 2 cars in front of me kept doing it and once did it so bad we almost had a 4 car collision. My car doesn’t have ABS so I started turning into the emergency lane and had half my car in there until I felt safe to continue driving. The guy in front of me was smart and left the lane immediately after that but I’m dumb cause I stayed in the lane for a bit but he kept doing it so I loving left. I’d rather be behind a slow rear end landscaping truck who drives a consistent speed and spews grass at me than someone whose gonna get me into a collision. I guess his driving method in hard traffic is “speed up super high then slam on your brakes, you’ll get there faster!!” (I do actually know people who drive like this). Maybe they have some other issue but they are TOO INCOMPETENT TO DRIVE. E: Jesus Christ there are so many people that should not be allowed to drive. I was talking with my coworkers today and they all know one or more people who drive completely wasted, or are sober but going 110mph (“it’s fun!!!)

I have a very distinct memory of a guy doing that during rush hour traffic; every time traffic would move he'd floor it and then have to slam on the brakes seconds later. I don't know what the hell he was thinking. I was behind him in the left lane for a bit but when I saw what was going on I just got in the slower right lane and stayed there. About 2 minutes down the way I caught up with him again. He had rear ended the person in front of him.
