I think it's worth being more than a peeve. Companies like Google and Facebook trying to make their own version of the web is nuts and people shouldn't stand for it.

Sometimes the route Google maps wants you to take is loving stupid and you have to make multiple alterations to it to get it to understand that you just want to go the simplest way. Like, instead of going up one road, turning once and then going along another straight road it'll tell you to zig-zag the whole way. So you drag the route back to the straight road and it'll go "Oh, I see. You want to go 100 metres along that road then take a left, then a right, travel 3km on a parallel road and then take another right to get back onto the main road. Gotcha." No. What? Why? Who is this for? Or it'll be like "instead of turning right at the end of this street, turn one street earlier, then take a left and another right." No? I'm not doing that. No one is doing that.

Ugh yeah, that bitch kept sending me up a long beachfront road full of traffic circles to get to my friend's house. Then I looked into it, all I had to do was stay on the highway for another couple exits. Wtf?

Indolent Bastard posted:Chefs/cooks are notorious for never bucking tradition and experimenting. I understand your friends distress at someone messing with cultural heritage. There are many Serbian/Croatian/Hungarian things that I could cook "authentically". People may not like them. They'd be either too bland, or too seasoned. For some, it would just taste strange unless you're used to it. Other things, would be an argument because some people like it a different way. For authentic cooking arguments, I have to defer to Key and Peele. I used to argue with my grandpa and uncles about how to make cevapcici. No, not kebapi, not cevapi, it's cevapcici. Only a maniac would serve the onions with the meat. The onions go in the meat dammit. My recipe is the best and I don't serve it with Ajvar. I serve with Tkemali which is inauthentic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1KiFON-GWg Authenticity is a preference. Putting canned tuna into pico de gallo with a lot of Serranos was a thing that I used to eat all the time. Just eat it with chips or tortillas. I learned it from a lady that worked with me that was from Tijuana and spoke zero english. It sounds gross, but it's awesome. It's authentic as hell, but I've never seen anyone else do it. She'd often bring some in for lunch along with homemade tortillas and the best refried beans you've ever had.

People who quote massive blocks of text (looking at you r/relationships thread) and then just reply with ‘heh’ or something ridiculously short. Just quote the reddit thread title ffs. We all already read the post! The YouTube comment format “I’m a simple man. I see [name of youtuber], I click”. It’s always one of the top voted comments on any video. No one cares and it’s not even original!

There's one near me and people have no idea what it is, so it just gets treated as a regular two way street that happens to be in a circle. Everyone drives around in both directions and blocks each other so it's always packed full of cars that can't move anywhere, it's amazing to watch.

Twitter links instead of screencaps. I don’t use reddit or twitter but least reddit is semi-readable in a browser. Also, any site that is unusable in a browser and spams you with app ads. SA has an app but if you go in a browser it just lets you be.

Twitter links get automatically embedded, though. A screencap shows less info and adds the extra step of manually searching for the user's name if I want to see more stuff from them.

It happens all the time that people only post links and then when the backlash gets to be too much they just delete it, sometimes within minutes.

Writers who can't loving cut to the chase. I'm translating some text for a media awards thing, and it's the most circuitous, long-winded, high-faluting bullshit I have had to translate outside of an academic context (academic work is notorious for this). Clauses upon clauses upon clauses that are nearly impossible to tease apart, and when you do, you realize the sentence is actually about very little. It's two lousy paragraphs about Pixel Ripped 1989, goddammit! Quit making up poo poo like "monumentality" and get to the point! While I'm at it: Whistling in songs. I heard two different songs with extended whistling choruses (very twee) yesterday while out shopping. I know my misophonia automatically sours me on whistling, but does the world at large enjoy that poo poo?

Whistling in pop songs can loving die. Also that sound of liquid being poured in a glass, constantly used in soft drink commercials, scenes featuring champagne or whatever, just makes me want to rip my face off.

My officemate when he's "thinking" goes through a cycle of whistling, then drumming on his desk, then loudly "hmm"ing (not always in that order) and it is the worst.

I'm just a dad right now, but when I was working in food service people would legit freak out at you if you whistled so I learned to keep it at home, where my wife--who chose to be around me, mind you, for some reason--is the only one to slowly lose her grip.

Why jump rope or do push ups at the gym. You have access to all this expensive equipment and you do something you can do anywhere for free. Stop jump roping and use the drat machines or weights.

Those sorts of assholes are the type who will stake out a rack or a cable station or something and then hoard a bench, a yoga mat, four sets of dumbbells, an ez bar, two cable attachments, and 15 plates to it and then just do their entire workout in “their” spot. You can take two items at once max. If you have 15 sets before you get to x dumbbell or y attachment or need the only open squat rack, you LEAVE IT WHERE IT BELONGS/EMPTY, and work around if someone else is using it when you get to it. Also, gently caress people who will “claim” a bench or rack or something by dumping a bag there and then going off.

A year ago, this gallery put out a call for art, so I submitted. They said they'd get back to me. Oh well. A month ago, another call for art, I submit again. Utter silence this time. What a loving piece of poo poo. I'm not stupid, I know that's a no. But there's so many ways to say that. No thank you, or we have all the submissions we require at this moment. Silence is such a gently caress you it makes my blood boil. I just want to shout at whoever is running this but I'm trying to leave it at "I'll take that as a no thank you" after a month of silence and hoping that speaks loudly enough.

Would you rather see samples of my illustration style (poster/cartoon/kid art)? Or the dorky abstract paintings I'm talking about shopping around in this post? They're rather different from each other.
