When someone at work unintentionally turns off num lock and for a few seconds I’m like, why the gently caress can’t I enter these numbers into excel (I have to put in a poo poo ton of numbers at the end of my shift so I’m using the numbers on the right side of the keyboard). And I’m the only person at work who knows what num lock is, and probably the only person who knows how to use a computer past typing,... I need a new job so bad.

My keyboard at work has no visible indicator whatsoever whether caps/num/scroll lock are on or off. Get on my level (of hell)

My old laptop's F keys were toggled, with the secondary functions like volume and brightness being the default when I pressed one. In order to use F1-F12 proper, I had to hold down the Fn key near the CTRL key and then press the F key I wanted to use. It was really annoying when playing a game that uses those as hotkeys (Diablo II for example) and accidentally turning off the wifi because I forgot to hold down another button while switching to a different skill.

I guess I can’t say I ever saw anything truly hosed up, but there were little things all along the way. For example, we were supposed to temp-check certain things every so often and I’m pretty sure I’m one of the only people in my admittedly small department that didn’t just write in an acceptable number because actually getting the thermometer out would have constituted work. ToxicSlurpee posted:It amazes me that people who have done food service still eat out. Like this.

Anyone interrupting me when I am working. Especially when I got poo poo to do. New coworker keeps interrupting every 3 minutes saying "What are you doing?". WTF does it look like I'm doing? I am hastily shifting between helping customers and sorting wares. I barely have the time to even talk to the customers because I am spinning so many loving plates. STFU. I get through my day by working efficiently, that way the time goes by faster and I also do not have to stay for 20 minutes extra on top of the usual overtime. This coworker always yells and starts singing at weird times. This person probably has zero clue that they are being god drat annoying. Anything for a laugh once in a while, but seriously, every loving 3 minutes. Will just start to give a permanent silent treatment because I am so sick of it.

Whistling. I’ve begun to tolerate my coworker who does it to songs because it’s on key and quiet. I still hate it but I don’t want to murder him. But the other day I got home to my building, and I generally enter through the basement entrance and this guy walked in behind me and was whistling some mystery off-key thing in the loudest amplitude of a whistle that I’ve ever heard. There’s an elevator in the basement but he was gonna take it so I decided to walk upstairs to the first floor to take the main elevator and I COULD HEAR HIM THROUGH THE FLOOR. And my building is old as poo poo so it’s made out of thick materials, not the cheap cinderblock poo poo they use today. This guy, I wanted to murder.

You do now, because i'm asking you to stop it, so don't just start again in an hour.

Wasn't there an Fn Lock function to switch it around? All modern ThinkPads are like this, you either switch it in the BIOS or press Fn+escape.

It may have been said before, but I'll say it again. gently caress those stupid MicroSD slots that require a stupidly specifically small item to open them. I just got a tablet and had to dig through my toolbox to find something that wasn't too thick or too thin. Paper clip? Nope! Too thick. Hook for hanging Christmas ornaments? Nope! Too thin. I finally found my kit of tiny screwdrivers and opened the loving slot. Then I had to play the game of "align the tiny fingernail-sized card into the little sled so it can be perfectly aligned to be inserted into the slot." What the hell happened to those little ZIF insert-and-click slots? I want the last 15 minutes of my life back. Oh, I would've wasted them anyways.

I didn't even realize i whistled until a co-worker drew up a "no whistling" sign complete with whistling head silhouette and stuck it over the prep area. Got good at stopping after that.

When you live alone, like my friend does, it's easy to have a spotless house. I did it, when I moved to my own place. But when you live with another person, it's pretty hard to keep poo poo perfect. When I lived alone, there were scorpions everywhere as well, so I had to keep the place loving tight and clean. I guess the peeve is more having to clean, then realizing it doesn't matter when the other person hoards poo poo, and eventually you fall back into that pattern too because the scorpions aren't there to stop you.

What the poo poo is wrong with people that can't understand how air conditioner thermostats work? "It's cooler today so I set the thermostat to 90F so the AC wouldn't run."IT WILL NOT RUN ON ITS OWN, THAT'S THE WHOLE loving POINT OF A THERMOSTAT. I want it to be 74F but i set to 50F so it will cool down faster."gently caress YOU.

Tiggum posted:What? I mean the bit of the air conditioner that is inside. The bit the cold air comes out of. If a thermometer is near to that bit then the temperature it registers will be cooler than the average temperature in the room because that is the coolest part of the room (because it's where the air conditioner is). It's called a vent, tiggum.

And if you're using window units then the thermostat is on the air conditioner itself usually.

[You are a passenger in someone else's car when it's 109℉ outside and the humidity and dew point are almost as high] *doors to the car are unlocked, you both get inside* *driver sits in seat, tries putting seatbelt on but keeps missing the latch after several attempts, removes windshield sun shade at a snail's pace, adjusts the mirrors to the car, digs around in purse or pockets for five minutes looking for nothing in particular, drops something on the floorboard and spends ten minutes looking for it, looks in mirror for food or imperfections on face or to possibly pop a pimple, picks teeth, adjusts mirrors again, adjusts seat, adjusts tilt steering, adjusts mirrors again because the seat was adjusted, brushes crumbs off sleeves, ponders about solving the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap problem, accidentally bumps the rear-view mirror while stretching and yawning slowly and loudly, adjusts mirrors again...*  WILL YOU START THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING CAR AND GET THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING AIR CONDITIONING GOING BEFORE I MELT?! PUT THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING KEY IN THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING IGNITION AND TURN THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING CAR ON!!! As soon as I open the door to my car, the key is in the ignition and turning on along with the A/C right as I'm getting my body into the car and my rear end hits the seat, then I do everything else I need to do before driving like buckling up, removing the windshield sun shade, etc. I would never subject any passenger I may have to that poo poo. Start the car first, A/C on, then do what you need to do. It's not that hard.

When I worked at Walmart and people did this all the drat time I found myself wishing that an emergency would happen and the firemen would just pulverize their cars because lol gently caress you don't park in the god damned fire lane. The blinkers are not "park wherever I want" lights. You'd seriously see a line of blinking cars out front during peak hours and people just parking right in front then doing all of their shopping. Mostly it was people doing the "but I'm only going to be here for five twenty minutes!" nonsense but others would be in for hours.

Maybe I was just in a bad mood but my family decided to play bingo. Everything annoyed me. My brother in law always let us know when he had a number. b-8 oh I’ve got that one. G55 hey I have that one. O62 well I don’t have that. gently caress me. If it wasn’t him, it was someone else somehow mishearing every other number. N32 did you say 22 no 32 oh. B21 was that 31 no it was 21 oh. How the gently caress do you mishear almost every single one. IM MAD But I still love all of them so very much

Delivery driver told me in a marked van, most police don't care if you throw on the blinkers for a fast run in and out, but never at a fire hydrant. Still amuses the gently caress out of me to see a UPS van parked, and a loving line of people parking their normal cars behind him with blinkers on BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT OKAY. It's still a crapshoot. Peeve: the city does not send out any reminders about bulk trash pickup, so sometimes people guess their range wrong online, and piles of poo poo sit outside houses for a week. Also, the fact bulk trash is only twice a year.

Or in my neighborhood, just leave it at the curb and it will be gone in a day or less.
