One I have stated my name, you will notice it matches the chart. It's not hard. I hate "And you must be [relation]" so much. It just feels so presumptuous and dumb. I wouldn't assume how someone's related to anyone else, why is that a thing people even do? I'm sure it's related to the time I came home from college to visit my father in the hospital, and the doctor just walked in, glanced at the chart and announced "And you must be Mrs. Prophet!"

The only exception is if you joke about not knowing any other adjectives. I agree but simultaneously am fine with “dead gay comedy forum” I trust goons to dogpile and then swiftly ban actual homophobes.

People who walk slowly across crosswalks when there is a car waiting for them. If you don't have some kind of physical ailment, then move your rear end and get out of the way so other people can go.

I'm an idle scribbler and the other day my hand wrote "gently caress this gay rear end earth" in quite nice cursive when I haven't used gay as a pejorative in at least 10 years, probably more. The internet is leaking into my subconscious and I dislike it.

Overheard this annoyance the other day, a security guard to a father with his child: “Haha oh you’re stuck babysitting today, huh?” No, the father is taking his kid to the store. Why do people think it’s so strange for a dad to have an outing with his kid? Aren’t fathers parents, too? Also, how lovely to assume that the mother has to do all the parenting.

If they start creeping into the crosswalk area or are like halfway into it or something (as I've seen countless times), I will slow down, because gently caress 'em. They can wait another 5 seconds. They've got the entire road and I've been relegated to a tiny-rear end sidewalk and crosswalks, all of the rest has been taken from me as a pedestrian. So gently caress 'em. End the car age, get them the hell out of the cities. (Disclaimer: I also drive occasionally, but I'm well aware that pedestrians and bicyclists have the right of way)

But politeness is a two way street. I do what I preach. If I'm a pedestrian and I see a car is waiting on me, I jog across. Not moving quickly across crosswalks is like not holding a door open for someone behind you or not holding an elevator door.

I would never actually jog to get out of the car's way. Maybe that fake jog people do but not for real. I also always discretely hammer the close doors button on elevators if i see someone coming from a distance so i guess i am a dick

I sure do loving love having my cubicle right next to our office's little kitchenette. People sure do respect that they are still quite close to a place where a person is working and might need some concentration and don't just use it as a place to have extremely loud conversations or anything.

My favorite type of driver is the one who zooms around a stopped car only to immediately slam on the brakes when they see a person crossing the street. What did you think the guy in front of you was stopped for?

There are a lot of people who will purposely go into a crosswalk and then walk at a snail's pace just because they can, or because deep down they resent people who have cars or whatever the reason may be. Those people are dicks, and let's not lump all crosswalkers into the same group. There's a difference between not wanting to jog through just because there's a car waiting, and purposely holding people up because you get off on it.

Drivers who wave me on to cross when I have already decided to stop and wait irritate me. I have already stopped, I have indicated my preference here. Now I have to make sure you're actually stopping for me and jog across while waving gratefully while you slow down, stop, pat yourself on the back for being so gracious and then get moving again and this all takes so much longer than if you just kept going.

You have the right of way, you don't have to use it apologetically. Also it's unsafe. I was probably told not run across crosswalks dozens of times in elementary school. Although the danger would be somewhat less for adults. Brawnfire posted:When I hold a door open I don't expect them to break into a trot to grab it Also randos who hold doors open for me.

Echoing that: drivers on a multiple lane road that stop and wave you on, but the other lane is still going normal speed. Then the driver gets irritated with you when you won’t walk blindly into traffic.

Crosswalk peeves... People who decide to jaywalk and force traffic to slow down or stop when THERE IS A CROSSWALK RIGHT loving THERE! Why not walk the extra 25ft and allow traffic to know wtf you're doing? There's even a button you can press which instantly activate lights which let traffic know you intend to cross! At 4 way stops I hate when people just stand at the corner. Are they crossing? There's a crosswalk right there, so I guess they could step into traffic at any moment and be in the right of way. So I sit there waiting for them to go, toot the horn to let em know that I see them and will not run them over, nope, nothing. Get the hell away from the drat corner ya dummy!

This! I always feel like I have to pick up my pace when they do that, especially since they usually have to wait the awkward few seconds for me to make sure they're stopping as well as any other cars. It annoys me even more now that I'm pregnant and have to hurry up and waddle across now. I'd wish the car would just not stop and keep going so I can walk at the pace I want to.

Maybe it’s just a weird off menu item that the managers or some people know.

Same, but mostly because it's always the same stuff that pretty much everyone agrees is annoying - driving slow in the fast lane, not going fast enough when the light turns green (or slow people complaining about honkers), not using turn signals...I think we covered most of these several times over. It's not a big deal though, this is generally just the "whine into the ether" thread so I just skip over the ones I'm bored with or have no opinion on.

It seems to be happening a ton this past year or so, but whenever a friend first discovers the concept of "dad jokes", the next several weeks are insufferable as they tell you the same old ones the last friend to get into them did. I even think a lot of them are funny, but when you hear them for the 20th time it gets super old. Usually I don't spoil the punchline because that is kind of rude but it's getting to the point that I'm tired of giving fake polite chuckles and think it would be kinder to cut them off before they get into their routine.

Oh my god I hate the computer system at work so much. Yeah, let's have two desktops, which can't trade information between each other, and the one you use for most of your work has to be loaded from scratch every time you log on! No documents are saved! Install Outlook every single morning! It's Windows 10, so the start menu is pretty much not a thing and you have to search for the for different tools you need for your job! And the other desktop doesn't have access to any Office programs, because who needs those to do work in an office! Will that stop anyone from sending you files on that desktop that can only be opened using Office? God no! Why would it? You can just forward that from Desktop A Email to Desktop B Email and wait the hour and a half it takes to arrive, if it arrives at all! And it doesn't stop at being merely inefficient. We regularly get new direction on how to do things that makes them even less efficient than before! Previously escalating stuff with a button on the system we do the rest of our work on? Why don't you take half those posts, copy-paste the links to them into an email, and include a few lines about why you're sending them up! Oh, actually now we're going to send you a table in Word that requires five more pieces of information and a screenshot that'll literally crash Outlook for a few seconds every time you try to put it into an email the number of times you usually need to, and again whenever someone tries to open it. That's great, that makes things much easier for everyone. I'm... I'm very annoyed today. Sorry everyone.

No idea if this really counts as a pet peeve, but christ alive there's something about lights at intersections that are just held up by wire (instead of metal poles) that bothers the poo poo out of me. It just looks low-class and ugly. The weirdest part about it is that I'm sure it's a cost-saving measure for areas that aren't as urbanized, but I notice it the most when it's otherwise in an area that I figure is kinda affluent, or when I know I'm in a less-wealthy area but all the lights are on poles. So it's low-class, ugly, and annoyingly inconsistent. e: oh, and I might've bitched about this before, but it is semi-irrationally infuriating when Google Maps doesn't quite understand that there's a way to turn into a place, so it expects you to drive past the thing, do a u-turn, or otherwise turn onto a road you don't need to. Don't make my trip more complicated than it needs to! MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 00:27 on May 24, 2018 |

For the past week all I've been getting is "Hey, who's the new guy?" And every other form of it under the sun. Yes, I shaved, get over it. No, you're not funny.
