BattyKiara posted:New peeve, rude co-workers. I came into work today in a new dress. One of the co-workers says "I love your dress. too bad you don't have the body for it. Would look great on me!" I read this, saw it quoted, and read it again, because it just seems impossible for someone to be that incredibly assholish. I'm  ing over here, because, seriously, what the hell? In peeve related news, the store I work at is open on Christmas. That's not a big deal; I only did a three hour shift today. The thing that bugs me is people being assholes because they forgot a gift for someone, or were incapable of checking the fridge and realizing they needed something else and were assholes about it. It's not my fault you're forgetful/stupid, don't get lovely with me. And especially don't bitch about your family. I really don't care.

One thing that's annoyed me a little lately is how the "Get album artwork" function on iTunes is really unreliable. I ripped a cd onto iTunes and I know it's an album you can get in the iTunes store, but it won't get the album artwork and I have to do it manually.

FluxFaun posted:see also: customers that respond to "would you like to donate a dollar to (charity)?" with "well why don't they donate a dollar to me?" like, chill, edgelord, you can just say "not today, thanks." I never give the clerks any crap about it because they're only doing what they're told, but this pisses me off to no end. Companies bragging about how much they donate to charity when they're asking their customers to do it for them.

I wanna go apologize to that poor cashier every goddamn day.

Brawnfire posted:My sister-in-law gets all weird and wants to leave super early at every family function. We had a Christmas get-together with my father-in-law last night, and she rounded up her boyfriend and kid before either of them even wanted to go, immediately after the presents were done being opened. She kept talking about how much she had to work but it's like yo, this is literally once a year could you maybe last another hour? Especially so it doesn't look like you're just coming to pillage gifts and take flight? I have a couple of friends like this. They are the "fashionably late" people who are always "so busy" and will show up at a party/gathering 30-60 minutes late and then stay for like 10 minutes and leave. Yeah, we're all impressed.

Every year there is a kerfuffle about Too Much Turkey. My nanny needs a turkey for 10-11 but orders one for 20. My mum gets a turkey she doesn't need at all because we do Christmas with my Nanny! Then this year my dad ordered (accidentally to be fair) a turkey for 15 when we are 3. I get a lot of freezer-food out of this dumbshittery so I'm not totally mad about it but it doesn't have to be this way. This is actually just the same food-waste peeve I post every other post.

When I went turkey shopping for Thanksgiving, the only available options were "barely enough for the two of us" and "a turkey approximately the size of a small building". So we froze a lot of turkey.

I understand that tbh. But my nanny pre-orders her turkey and one for mum and another one for my aunt from a local butcher in like October so she knows what she's doing. Then she cremates the expensive turkey so we get premium, award winning, free-range meat-crumbles. Turkey peeve #2.

Thanks everyone. I am now trying to imagine my rude co-worker covered in sores, and her own dress split open after she had an unfortunate accident falling down the stairs after wearing too high heels while drunk. Yes, I can be that petty. She is a classic case of "office bitch", who never lost the secondary school girl attitude.

A company my brother used to work at gave out christmas presents to their employees in the form of donations to charities, that's not too bad. The bad part is that they obviously just did it so that the CEO could mug infront of some news cameras every year about WOW WE DONATED SO MUCH!!! Here have a giant novelty check, and make sure to take the pictures from my best side!

This thing I've been seeing in posts a lot lately is driving me up the wall. Someone will be telling a story like, "I did Thing A and my buddy did Thing B, am I in the wrong here?" Saying "in the wrong" instead of just saying "am I wrong". I've only ever seen "in the right" or "in the wrong" never in any other context and never in person, just on the internet. Why?? It's unnecessary to add those extra words and it sounds so wrong.

Put it on netflix/hulu/spotify/steam or just let me toss you some bucks and get the drat thing downloaded to my computer.

Peeve: Half of my family members the last week have been cornering me with 'well, if you happened to have a boyfriend you're very welcome to bring him along to visit sometime.' talks. No, I just genuinely don't enjoy spending time with you all, especially not when I'm trapped in the same house as you all for a week, with 0 way to get any peace and quiet for more than a few minutes at a time, and I'll just get constantly interrupted whenever I try to do anything. And because I don't enjoy spending time with you, of course I'm just going to turn down most of your invites, because the occasional visit and stuff is ok, but there's just been too loving much of it lately. (Especially since there have been more meetups and visits the last year than the prior 3 years, so I'm getting kind of loving exhausted of you all.) The fact that I gently caress dudes is secondary and wholly irrelevant. But kudos for thinking that there's just this magical reason that I don't want to spend time with all of you. After all it's impossible that I'm not interested because I don't like you as people, nor how every single thing I do or like that falls outside of your interests is belittled and made fun of. But sure, it has to be the gay thing.

Pet peeve: parents who smoke around their kids. It's not uncommon here to see someone walking down the street holding a toddler in one hand and a burning cigarette in the other. Is it so loving hard to get your fix before picking up your kid from school/daycare, or wait until you're home to smoke on the balcony or somewhere else away from your small, growing child? This isn't the 1950s, you know what that poo poo does.

Now she needs spine surgery but she has to stop smoking- or slow down, at the very least- so she can have the surgery. Still won't stop.

Does it bother anyone else that Christmas gets dropped as a concept the minute it's no longer profitable to Walmart? Right around New Years my HOA starts complaining that my decorations are still up. Christmas goes until the 5th you consumerist whores! You've had your poo poo up since before Thanksgiving, Brenda, and I didn't complain then! It's not my fault that corporate America starts it on the first of November and ends it at the stroke of midnight on the 25th. We're missing the best part of the holiday, the part where you've already done the decorating and shopping and talking to your family and now you get to stay inside, eat all the food you made or were otherwise gifted, and chill the gently caress out! Nope! Back to work wage slave! gently caress you! The whole holiday is a loving sham designed to guilt you into giving money you don't have to companies that don't give a flying gently caress about Christmas. I know none of this is new, and is in fact the subject of countless Christmas movies, but still. I hate it.
