You: No, I delete messages over 12 months old. Boss: Oh, OK. *wanders off* People don't get fired over getting rid of transitory messages. Deleting vital records without consent, sure. Old email, no. You and your old email aren't that important I assure you.

I can't even count the times I've needed to refer to something random in my email from months or years ago. Like the sky wouldn't have fallen and the sun wouldn't have gone out if I couldn't, but it sure did save me hours of work each time. The system serves me. I do not serve the system.

You know that thing where you're waiting for someone to pull out of a space and you have your blinker on, ready to take the space? And then someone from the other direction slips into the space when the other person backs out all the way? Twice in a row today. I wanted so badly to loving lose it at the second person.

Maybe some of you are missing the part where I said they were relevant to bills/business? In a work environment surely it's ok to hold onto those. Sure delete spam or whatever, but why would you delete that email where your boss specifically approved your plan (which worked) or directed you to a different solution (which backfired) or the one where a vendor quoted you a specific price on something? If it's just to make your inbox nice and pretty, that's stupid.

My pet peeve for crowded parking lots is the rear end in a top hat who sits there with his blinker on for three minutes to try and get in a spot, but the car they're waiting for isn't even in reverse yet, and meanwhile four more parking spaces open up in the adjacent rows but I can't get to them because of the blinky gently caress in front of me. Just keep moving!

But then you also have the people who shift to reverse, activating their car's reverse lights, but then sit there holding the brake/clutch for another 5-10 minutes before they start moving. Seat belt on, engine on, shifter to reverse, time to read Facebook for a while!

Just keep moving! From their perspective my peeve is people who take way too long to start the car after they get in. You assume they are going to be a normal person and get seated, put the belt on, maybe set up your phone for google maps, turn on the radio and go. Shouldn't take more than 30-60 seconds. But some people start checking themselves out in the mirror, browsing something on their phone, etc for several minutes. also it's not always about not wanting to park further away. At college parking was absurdly hard to come by. I've circled the only lot+garage I was permitted for for over an hour before with absolutely no open space. Sometimes I would have to park illegally to make it to the class/meeting in time. On the day I defended my thesis I had to do this and came out to one of those boots on the car and had to walk like 20 minutes across campus to go pay the fine because I guess they don't like it when you get like 10+ parking tickets in a year, even though I was paying them. To those who are thinking "why didn't he just take the bus/taxi/whatever": no.

Just circle and circle and circle and circle for half an hour. This was a man that walked halfway across Europe as a refugee at the end of WWII. He loved walking. His favorite thing was to walk. He walked 2 miles every morning even when he was dying of cancer. The man had no problem walking all day hunting in the mountains But he wouldn't walk over 50 feet to get inside a store.

Automatic updates, and updates that change existing settings. A while back, my phone would get a notification about updates, and then let me install them at me leisure. One of them switched the settings for automatic updates overnight back on. (Without telling me, of course.) Today, for the first time in years, I overslept. Because my loving phone restarted without my consent, and was on the sim login to boot, meaning that it wouldn't even have accepted calls. I wouldn't really care much if it restarted properly and logged in, but it was for all intents and purposes, off.

Every drat time you are running late for work, you get the surprise "windows is updating, please do not turn off your computer" when you shut it down to go to put your work computer in your bag. It will take anywhere between 20 seconds and 5+ minutes. I get it (not really), updates are important, but it should never happen unannounced on shutdown, only next time you turn it on.

I have friends who will gladly hike 10 miles with me on rough terrain at high elevation who on the other hand will circle a lot looking for a spot 30 yards from the door. Like, we're young(ish) and we've got working legs, why are we taking a spot from someone's arthritic grandma? My peeve for the day (every day) is lovely dog owners. My neighbor is a dumb loving hipster who moved here to our urban Denver apartment building and immediately decided to adopt a pair of husky pups and train them to be sled dogs (he bought a sled, too). Instead of being a good dog dad, he still spends the entire day and most of the night partying away from his apartment. Let me tell you, dogs that are A. Neglected B. Young C. Untrained and D. Huskies are basically a perfect storm of loud as gently caress howling at all hours. They're stressed out, they're scared, they're bored, and all so this asshat with an honest to god messenger bag and top knot in tyool 2019 can tell women he's training sled dogs. I constantly weigh the consequences of absconding with the dogs and taking them to my animal shelter. They'd be adopted before he knew they were even gone.

yeah when I think of sled dogs, I definitely picture them living...in an apartment building in a big city. My only knowledge of sled dogs is from that one episode of Survivorman, but a real sled dog doesn't seem appropriate for a house pet, even if he knew how to train them (which he doesn't, as I'm sure we can all agree even though I don't either). Let me guess, his intention is to ride the sled in to work (and/or around town) eventually, right? He wants to one up your standard "that guy" who rides a unicycle right? People who force a quirk onto themselves in an effort to make them "more interesting" are my pet peeve.

My parents pay like 50 a month more with spectrum than me with promised speeds that are twice as much as verizon promises me, and my internet is at least twice as fast when you look at actual speed. It actually blew my mind when my internet speed tests were even close to what they promised... which will be nice, until my promotional period is about to end, then I expect to get throttled. But for now, it's pretty great.

More and more streaming services instead of less. I don’t wanna pay a monthly subscription for one or two shows and then a ton of crap I don’t care about. I understand not wanting to immediately dump your brand new hot poo poo on netflix or hulu but for gently caress’s sake just let me buy a stream of the season on amazon.

Streaming services as a concept are the problem. You don't choose your ISP on the basis of which websites they have exclusive rights to. Individual websites make their content available to you regardless of what ISP you use and charge whatever they want for it. You don't pay a newsagent and then take whatever papers they decide to carry - you pay the individual publishers to deliver you whichever specific newspapers you want to read. You don't buy a radio and then only listen to whatever channels the manufacturer decided to programme into it. The same should apply to TV. I should be able to subscribe to a TV provider and then pay TV producers for access to the specific shows I want to watch - or watch them for free if they're ad-supported. Having to subscribe to nine different services because each one of them has exclusive rights to one or two shows I like is bullshit.

Speaking of kitchen towels, my peeve is towels that just move water around without absorbing poo poo. Those thin, scratchy ones your grandma gets you for christmas every year. It would be quicker to dry them by just blowing on them for a while. Same with bath towels that barely absorb anything. We need more towel regulations imho.
