Parasol Prophet posted:I came into work to find that someone had used my desk overnight, and apparently used my glasses cleaning cloth to scrub gunk off the bottom of my-- or rather, our-- mouse. My mousepad went missing at work one day. Turns out the IT guy had cut it in half to, like, prop up a wobbly server or something, and then threw the other half in the trash for good measure. He didn't apologize, just shrugged it off as a "well, I needed it, and there it was" kind of thing. This was an honest-to-God meaningful mousepad, too, not dumb dime-a-dozen trade-show swag. gently caress, I just remembered that--this was nearly twenty years ago--and I'm mad all over again. Respect other people's poo poo!

but it's because even though my dog is super sweet and has never bitten/attacked anyone, he does look kinda scary, and I don't want to risk scaring someone who doesn't like dogs.

They've probably been conditioned to not go to the doctor from a previous job. The employer I just left had a policy that you needed a note from a doctor if you missed more than two consecutive days of work, and it was normal for temps to just quit instead because looking for a new job was less financially ruinous than a doctor visit. Also, doctors can't treat colds.

IT support guys aren't typically known for their ability to respect social norms. The ones I've known always had a thinly veiled seething contempt for all the people they are helping, probably because we got paid more and didn't know or care what a linux kernel or whatever is so we couldn't tell them much beyond "it's borken, fix please".

My memory pet peeve is that if I need or want to remember something, I have to work really hard to remember it, but when it comes to some trivial poo poo that I couldn't care less about (who played in what movie, who sang what song) that poo poo just stays in my brain with total recall.

Now that I'm doing social media customer service/support, NJ/NY people are the "And how will I be compensated for my time??" people.

Midig posted:Food recipes found online. Online recipes are my loving bane. Most of them are overly complex, use unnecessary ingredients, and are basically inedible when all is said and done. Rating systems are the worst, too. Most people will rate highly just because a recipe looks good, or rate bad because it's not vegetarian or because they made a bunch of substitutions and it tasted like poo poo. My favorite baked mac and cheese recipe has a bunch of bad ratings because it's over 1000 calories per serving. It's baked mac and cheese! gently caress you! *My* pet peeve for the day, however, are online cocktail recipes. My problem with these are usually one of the following: 1. It tastes awful. People really love to concoct and post recipes before they ever drink them. The most common culprit is way too much lemon juice. It's not lemonade, stop using it like lemonade! 2. The alcohol ratio is all off. This is especially common with mommy blog cocktails that look fantastic but don't have enough booze to give a hamster a decent buzz. 1/4 cup of vodka sounds like a lot, but split between 4 frozen peach lemonades it's downright homeopathic. 3. Alcoholic popsicles. Not loving worth your time. The volume of liquid going into a popsicle is already relatively small and making them with an ABV above a worthwhile point makes them freeze all weird. You wouldn't know it, though, by how often these recipes get passed around in the summer time. If you're going to throw a fancy pintrest garden party, just do normal adult cocktails with non alcoholic popsicles. 4. It uses a bunch of obscure alcohols or mixers. Kudos to you for inventing a cocktail that uses Midori, Fernet Branca, caramel liqueur, and Orbitz soda but lmao if you think anyone is going to drop $100 just to try it. 5. Dumb loving garnishes. I'm not threading sprigs of rosemary through individual cranberries to place atop my mimosas and gently caress you for insinuating that I should

One thing that's mildly annoying is when there's some sort of two-for-one offer on movies or music in shops and there's only one thing you're really interested in and you end up wandering around trying to pick out something to complete the offer. I'm incapable of resisting bargains like that. I have avaricious personality.

The should pay people to sort and clean recycling. Draconian policies on what recycling will be taken just result in more littering. Like, for every bin left full on the curb with a “you did this wrong try again!”, one will be resorted/cleaned for every five that end up spread over the street. And say, metal and plastic are in the same bin we all know it’s getting sorted by professionals anyway.
