Hirayuki posted:My related pet peeve (which can be extrapolated out to many similar situations) is people who don't have their poo poo together (tolls, passports, etc.) when they get to the booth. What were you doing in that long line before you reached that point, idiot? This but the security screening point at airports. I'm taking my laptop out of my bag and emptying my pockets while I'm walking up to where the trays are, meanwhile people are getting there and then thinking "hang on how does this work". I fly a ton more than most so maybe I'm just impatient and they're really fine.

Also, the TSA started telling people back in 2009 to put their shoes directly on the belt, and as far as I can tell, this is still the rule. Why the gently caress do people A. still put their shoes in a tray and B. put their shoes alone in a tray, taking up all kinds of drat room on the belt? eta: For that matter, why do we still have to take our shoes off? Theater.  I love when I get to travel somewhere where they let you keep your shoes on.

Hirayuki posted:Well, according to the TSA site (motto: "Due to the Lapse in Federal Funding, This Website Will Not Be Actively Managed" The last time I flew, on the way out I got a special sticker on my boarding pass that let me keep my shoes on. I felt like the king of the world. On the way back I had to take my shoes off and get scanned. It was unclear why I got the special sticker. I was flying with my mom and they treated her like a suspected terrorist while I breezed through. She's 70 years old and walks with a cane. They ended up doing a hand pat down on her.

I've flown around the world as an adult (except the US post-9/11) and never had to take my shoes off. But people are still loving slow to take out laptops or remove belts and loose coins from their person.

Iron Crowned posted:Really work? I now have to have 4 different passwords that I change every 60-90 days? It's especially great when you have multiple sets that expire at different rates. At my old job I think I had 3 different ones, 1 of them every 6 weeks and the other 2 every 8. Except you could sometimes go days without needing to log into the third one, meaning that they'd only ever be in sync if you'd been away for a while. It only encourages people writing down passwords. And encourages people to use very simple passwords, usually the exact same one but just with various digits on. Surely investing in a couple fingerprint scanners would pay for itself, compared to the hours of IT support you'll be running just to reset passwords + accounts. Or just 2FA dongles that have to be turned in at the end of shifts, etc.

Public or work toilets with dividers that don't go al the way down and up. I don't want to/can't poo poo if there's another man in the stall right next to me and I can see his foot and hear everything he does and the other way around.

I don't want to/can't poo poo if there's another man in the stall right next to me and I can see his foot and hear everything he does and the other way around. Agreed. Also people in this setup with 3 stalls and pick the center one. I mean, I guess it's a good strategy if you want to poop alone because when I see that situation I go back to my desk for a while (barring an actual emergency and not just wanting to waste some time). Also why do there have to be massive gaps between the door and the stall walls? Might as well just take the whole door off. Is it just a "it makes cleaning easier" thing where they can just hose the whole room down at once? Why does basically all work bathroom i've had in germany have fully enclosed shitters or at least very extended stall walls where you would have to get down on the ground to see the other person's feet and we're still stuck with these things?

Also why do there have to be massive gaps between the door and the stall walls? Might as well just take the whole door off. The more precise metric system allows german engineers to construct floor-to-ceiling stall walls. Also why do people feel it’s ok to grunt, sigh, whistle, etc in public shitters?

Taking the whole door off is a thing in some men's rooms around the US. Usually in sketchy bars or bowling alleys. If the management doesn't take the door off, someone will steal it anyway. I knew a guy that used to steal stall doors when he was in high school. He didn't even know why he did it. It's just kind of a thing. We also have the piss troughs at sporting events. Those are super classy. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to have the European style stall doors that are floor to ceiling. You do get used to the gaps though. Once you're used to it, you don't worry about it any more.

The only place I've heard of no doors on stalls (or just no stalls at all) was from my dad's boot camp stories. I guess I just don't go to lovely enough bars/bowling alleys, and I'm glad.

None of the schools I went to had stalls. Or soap, because it was "too messy". The only places I've seen with doors are shopping malls for whatever reason.

Prisons don’t even have stall walls in most cases, you just poo poo in a stainless sink/toilet combo a few feet from your cellie. If you ever meet anyone who continuously flushes the toilet from the moment he settles on the shitter to a couple minutes after they’re done, there’s a good chance they’ve done time. It’s a courtesy to try to suck as much stench as possible down the pipe.

I most distinctly remember my elementary school restroom. No stalls at all, just 12 toilets in random locations in a giant, open room. There was a single sink in the hallway just outside of the restrooms that everyone had to queue up for, with no soap available. It was a weirdly elaborate thing that looked more like half of a water fountain than a sink, with foot operated controls to turn on the water.

Gaming related peeve - I've been playing Muppet Monster Adventure and liking it a lot, but I've missed one single fragment of Evil Energy and I can't for the life of me figure out where the gently caress it is. I hate that. Edit: It's in a really hard to reach secret. Just looked it up. That's loving mean. You don't hide basic collectibles like that in such difficult to find secrets, you leave that for Live caches. At the very least you put like 10 of them in the secret to make it obvious that the player is missing an area. BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 20:31 on Jan 26, 2019 |

I’m sounding increasingly québécois and I hate it. NO ONE should sound québécois. That said, another peeve is anglo-canadians whining about french. Basically anywhere outside of the extreme sticks you go in francophone areas, you can happily get by with english. Whereas in anglo areas, lol if you barge into a random shop and start talking french to the clerk.

Peeve: The concept of winter. Snow sucks. Ice sucks. Slush sucks. Cold sucks. The wind somehow seems to blow from every direction at once whenever you're trying to clear snow off something. Later this week we're going to have a day where goddamn high temp is -14F. If I didn't have to go outside for work and food, I'd probably just hibernate for three months and avoid all that bullshit.

In Airbnb's or cheap hotels, when the shower is surrounded by mirrors for some reason. Who the hell wants to be confronted by their own naked rear end at 6 in the morning? Why would you put mirrors around your shower? The last airbnb I stayed in was like that and also committed the other big shower sin: being unable to mount the showerhead so you have to hold it in your hand the whole time. gently caress people with lovely showers.
