I assume these are the same monsters that jiggle the door at public bathrooms. Of all people the most deserving of summary execution short of Literal Hitlers. Bathroom peeve: single-occupant toilets that are gendered. It’s so stupid to see some women/men waiting in line while the men’s/women’s room just site empty.

Photoshop stealing focus. Every single time it's started, it keeps stealing focus until it's completely initialised, meaning I can't do anything else while I wait for it to open. It's the only program that works like that. The only program I can't just start up then alt-tab over to something else in the meanwhile. And programs that block interaction while they're doing 1 simple thing. This is a loving constant annoyance in 3D programs, because so often you'll be using some feature or another than only runs on 1 cpu thread, but hardlocks the program until it's done. Seriously, I know parts of you are as old as me, but I'd really like it if I were allowed to do more than 1 thing at a time.

Games that can only make use of one monitor but still black out all of your other monitors while running. Sometimes switching to borderless mode fixes it, sometimes the settings do nothing.

Parasol Prophet posted:Yep. Certain jobs I get it, if the store absolutely needs to open at 7:00 sharp so the three grandmas who've been clawing at the doors since 6:30 won't literally die, then yeah, being early enough to get the necessary poo poo done before then is an understandable requirement. (I think people should still be scheduled and paid earlier in that case, of course.) If there's a shift change involved and another employee can't leave until you get there, gently caress yes you better be on time. Yeah, if you "start at 7" but you are actually required to be there at 6:45 to be ready to work at 7, then you actually start at 6:45 and must be paid accordingly. And yeah, for me the deciding factor is whether your timeliness actively affects other people. If someone can't leave til you get there (or if people are waiting on you to get a meeting started) get there on time (for whatever shared understanding of "on time" you have; if everyone's late by the same amount all the time, including the person you're replacing, and everyone's cool with it, then there's no problem).

I'm a cisgendered woman and I don't give a poo poo about sharing the bathroom with someone who isn't. I'm not uncomfortable with a trans person sharing the bathroom with me, but I would be uncomfortable sharing the bathroom with someone who wants to double-check the genitalia of everyone in the room with them.

We had single-occupancy gendered restrooms at work until somebody pried off the signs and thew them away when nobody was looking. It took over a year for some shithead to notice and complain, and by then everyone had figured out that it works better to just let people pee in whatever toilet is available.

Things that could work on computers but just don't. Today's example: Instagram. I thought I'd give it a look since everyone seems to be on it these days, and I was able to create an account and follow people, but apparently if I want to change my profile information or actually post anything I need to download the app onto my phone - which I can't because my phone is poo poo.

You Are A Elf posted:Saw a Vince Lombardi quote at a work site the other day that made my blood boil: My psycho store manager (thank Jesus I moved stores away from him) literally told us Manager that he, and we have to, too, write ANYONE up for being 5 or more minutes late. loving psycho. Like literally, should be in an asylum. I obviously didn't enforce it if they called, or even if they called late because shot happens. Unless it's a major deal like I NEED that employee cause they're the only one who can do that job, I'm not writing them up. I don't even write up people who don't call and stroll in late, I give them a verbal warning FIRST to call the store. If it's a pattern (ie more than 2 times), THEN I write them up. E: my mom actually suggested I get to work ONE HOUR early to show that I "am ready to work and care about my job!!!!" Bitch I'm paid hourly and let's say I get there at 9:30 I still am not allowed to clock in until 10:25 for a 10:30 shift (or whatever), and I live 15 minutes from my job, why the gently caress would I want to sit around there for an hour?!?!!

When I taught a class the syllabus was really strict about missing labs, so I enforced it at first until they cried to the head of the lab courses and he made me take an entire day out of my own time to let them make up a semester's worth of labs. I just wanted to fail somebody (that deserved it), but he decided to take all the fun out of teaching and not let me.

I hate my co-workers. They made such a deal about my sick period when I went in to cross some final Ts. (I finally go back tomorrow but had to take 3 weeks for a really bad graze on my knee to heal. It's still not fully there, but it's close enough that with a plaster on it I have full mobility without any pain, although I'm needing to wear shorts as my trousers rub badly and really hurt). If my managers don't complain about it, then shut the hell up, because I'm following all the protocols correctly. If I'm not in a day early it's for good reasons, aka my knee is still healing so I needed to ensure I had my shorts for tomorrow, which I do now, and I needed to temporarily come in for the hour today to print off a back-to-work form so I wouldn't spend the start of yesterday faffing with the printer, as my personal printer isn't working. Also if I had come in to work as scheduled I wouldn't be able to get more anti-bacterial wipes for the rest of the week for until my wound finally no longer needs a plaster, because of the pharmacy opening times. Hell it my be that by tomorrow I don't need the bandaid anymore, but I'm not risking it.

It's fun to reveal to those people that you're a Jew who doesn't like Israel, though it's not quite as mind-blowing to them as being a left-leaning person who doesn't like Hillary/Obama/Joe Biden/insert democrat here.

I hate the "I don't realize i'm doing it" excuse for anything. You get to use it once. After the first time, you become aware you are doing it, so you either choose to make a conscious effort to stop, or not. At least be honest the next time and say "i'm not going to stop doing it" instead of clinging to your intentional lack of awareness.

Hey, there's a pretty easy (if dumb) workaround for this: assuming you're using Chrome right-click on the page and hit Inspect, then click on the little Toggle Device button at the top (or hit Ctrl Shift M) to make it show you the mobile view. You have to do this to post; however you should be able to edit your profile info without doing this.
