BIG KOOL TELLIN' Y'ALL TO KEEP IT TIGHT
One of my peeves is when someone does gross poo poo in the office, but then complains when another person does gross poo poo in the same place or somewhere else.

Case in point - yesterday, a coworker in front of me had some stomach problems & kept ripping rear end every few minutes, then joking about it or laughing when people complained. I went to the bathroom later that day to take a crap & heard this same coworker come in while talking to someone else. I had some gas so I ripped an admittedly loud fart from the stall only to hear him say "that guy has problems, I'm gonna wash my hands somewhere else". :lol: Serves you right you crabby rear end in a top hat, at least you didn't have to sit in my rear end funk for 20 minutes.

Ugh I’d rather have the crazy gun shooting type a billion times over this type, because this type likes to yell about THEM LAZY POORS to us working to serving them, for some insane reason; I guess, because they are insane and I am lazy cause I have a college degree and work my rear end off 50 hours a week and...?????

E: people talking about “get a degree” because over half the people I work with at my minimum wage job have college degrees so gently caress the gently caress off.

Despite the words on the back of my shirt I'm a parking enforcement officer at work (an airport, specifically the pick up and drop off area), day in day out I have to explain to people what the sign right next to them means, it means immediate pick up and drop off only not "i'm going to sit here for the 5-10 minutes it takes for people to get off the plane and grab their bags and get outside. It's pointless counting how many times I hear "they are just getting their bags now", "they are just coming now", "they just texted me they are at the door", I don't give a flying gently caress this is a tiny airport with more passengers than it's designed to handle, your sitting in your car with the A/C, radio and a comfy seat it's not an inconvenience for you to gently caress off until your passenger is standing on the kerb. No you can't just "run inside for 2 minutes" to get something it's never 2 minutes it's always 20 and it's an airport, you can't just abandon poo poo here. I have so many peeves at this job and with peoples behavior but if I went through them all I would be writing a thousand words.

Customers at work who want to switch change when we don't have a machine that makes it convenient. We are a loving business, not an excuse for you to swap around change and waste our time when there are plenty of other stores that would be happy to do it. It always takes too loving long. I allowed a woman to change 50. She insisted on 100 when she was done, then wanted to swap 150. gently caress you. I don't have to do it and I won't do that poo poo again. Get screwed over every time I am nice about it.

People who refuse to let you merge are the worst. Like OK I get it if you only let one car merge in front of you. That's fine. But don't ride the bumper of the car in front of you so people can't merge. If somebody wants to change lanes don't immediately stomp on your gas. Seriously, if your response to "the person in that lane just turned their blinker on" is "step on the gas and don't let them in this lane" then gently caress you. gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you. I hope you suffer. You are a horrible person. Refusing to let people merge or change lanes won't get you anywhere any faster. Traffic sucks but you don't have to make it worse by being a dick.

Bro trucks, expensive cars (especially Big Metallic Wangs), and stereotypical family vans are the worst for this. Big rigs are chill as gently caress and will always let you get where you need to go.

Counterpoint: it is your civic duty to refuse to let someone in if they try to pass you on the shoulder. Let them ram themselves into a guardrail and learn their lesson.

That's literally how you are supposed to merge though. You go to the end and each Lane is supposed to take turns. It just doesn't work because they don't actually teach people this and everyone is an impatient rear end in a top hat.

Most people, if not taught it, can at least figure it out on their own. The snag is that America is a culture of narcissism. That leads to "lol gently caress you I'm not letting anybody merge."

Adding to carchat:
gently caress you if you block an intersection while waiting at a stop light/sign. When there's a side road or exit out of a parking lot you're supposed to stop before it to keep it clear for people who need to get out or cross the street. Now the poor shlub just trying to get across the road has to wait 15 minutes while you ride the bumper in front of you and you suck and I hope you die.

Also people who inch out into an intersection duing a red light. gently caress you. Now that you are in the literal middle of the drat intersection and the light has gone to a green arrow all the people turning have to drive around your dumb rear end so you could save 3 seconds turning yourself. That should be a ticketable offence (you ran the red light. I don't care if you didn't actually cross it yet you still kept on going till you were an obstacle.)

A couple times I've had people do this while turning right, so they keep inching forward and stare at me wondering if I'm going to start walking when obviously I'm not, some lunatic is driving super slowly exactly where I need to walk.

If the guy is green I'm walking unless it's someone going fast and not paying attention. And if they have the audacity to honk I'll suddenly develop a cramp or realize my shoe is untied. I waited like 2 minutes for this stupid crosswalk light, you can wait 10 seconds car.

Well there's already traffic peeves being discussed, but I'd like to say:. What is with the people who are pulled over on the side of the road, but will pull out in front of you, go around a parked car, and then pull over again? I swear this is happening to me constantly and I don't understand the motivation. At least wait until I pass!

When I'm walking and there's a one way street turning onto another one way street, the cars usually never look to see if there is a pedestrian walking. I've nearly been hit several times because some idiot doesn't look both ways before turning onto the street.

That plus I see a lot of drivers never using turn signals driving at full blast in quiet residential areas so I have no idea if it's safe to cross the street. It's why I wish we would get China style surveillance everywhere that tickets drivers for every bullshit behavior and use that money to fund public transportation.

The 30s-early 40s "lol gotta have my wine" mothers are even worse than the "don't even talk to me until i've had my coffee" types (although there is significant overlap). Drinking wine is fine just like it's fine for a dad to have some beers (or wine, who cares) on occasion, but stop trying to make "i can't stand my annoying toddler and need to drink to get through it" a funny lighthearted meme.

Websites that change things suddenly with no warning, like how videos play. For some reason youtube seems to have taken away theater view mode and leaves me with the little square or full screen only. It's such a dumb thing but it's a trend.

My least favorite pet peeve is Facebook deciding since I like more clickhole posts and poo poo than family and friends posting photos, it should fill my feed with miscellaneous comedy posts that shove all of that socially relevant poo poo further down the feed since it doesn't realize I just like less of them because Clickhole posts like 5 times a day and my family and friends post maybe a photo a week.

I'm still better off than my mom reacting to a bunch of animal abuse news stories with crying emoji and getting Facebook to decide that she must really loving like seeing animal abuse, though.

I definitely wouldn't mind if things were a lot more manual until they work out all the kinks. I shouldn't be annoyed at what my youtube homepage looks like, but every single day I am. Yeah youtube, I watched that video less than 24 hours ago. Stop showing it to me. Yeah I spent a day watching sovereign citizens getting owned by cops/courts videos, that doesn't mean I want to watch endless waves of stephen crowder and ben shapiro. Let me tell you what I like, stop trying to guess, you aren't helping!

and yes I click on not interested all the time. That doesn't stop them from showing it to me again.

I hate people who admit that yeah, levels/steps/episodes 1-99 SUCK BALLS buuuut after that, totally worth it!

So the entire first two seasons are hard to get into and is badly written but season 3 makes up for it!

My friend gives me crap for not liking Legend of Korra because I gave up halfway into the first season, because if I waited, then "you see her get the poo poo kicked out of her!" Same dude gets irritated that after trying two separate times, I just cannot get into WoW, and being told that once I get to level 100 or whatever the highest level is, it totally becomes fun!

Does that ever work for anyone? I mean first impressions can be wrong easily, but are there really good shows or games that blow rear end in the start but after episode/level __ it is so worth it?

I tend to be like that but it's because I find myself liking games with relatively poor controls throughout simply because they have engaging level design, like the Woody Woodpecker PS2 game. Massive turn radius when jumping and walking, waaaay too big, but the levels are thoughtfully laid out and there is a lot of charm elsewhere.

That was the first example I thought of as well, and I can't think of a second.

Edit: Actually I can. Gotham. It starts out pretending it's going to be some kind of Law & Order style cop show but once you get past the first, I dunno, four or so episodes it turns into something completely different and much better. It's not a whole season though.
