Something I just noticed as I happened to go to the shop - the gas man who swapped my hob (the gas burners on top of the oven) out for the new one seemed to have just chucked it in the neighbours front garden, so I'm gonna have to call the flytipping line tomorrow to get the council to dispose of it properly. I've texted my landlady to inform her of this behaviour because that may end up making me seem like a bad neighbour. It's just unacceptable behaviour on his part. He should know better. God forbid he replace something larger.

People who use a foreign or alternative term for something people know what is. I know what money is, you don't have to call it bread, dough etc. More specifically, people who talk about anime/manga, but insist on using japanese names, although everyone knows what they mean if they use the english one. Such as Shingeki no Kojin or Boku No hero academia instead of just saying Attack on titan or My hero academia. Midig has a new favorite as of 19:58 on Apr 14, 2019 |

That's why I defined what a Hob was, because it seems to be a purely english/british term.

Tax filling out services that try and be hip and say things in joke form. Taxslayer, I don't care about your jokes, just tell me what the gently caress a tax home is (for example). It gives help descriptions for basically everything that is obvious but the ones that aren't obvious it expects you to just know. Figuring out how to enter foreign earned income on their service is a pain in the rear end and I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right despite doing it for the past 3 years. It's like they think it's such a fringe case they don't need to make it intuitive. hate u tax slayer

Microwaves that won't let you set strength and time and instead will only work with stupid preset buttons like meat, fish, pasta etc.

My monitors at work. Not sure what to blame this for but programs never open in the correct monitor. Look, computer, every day for the past two weeks I've swapped Outlook over to the other monitor. Maybe remember that and just open it there to begin with? No, PDFs belong over THERE. This is the very definition of petty, I realize. I just don't want to waste that precious fraction of a second it takes to swap things around myself!

One morning my wife and I got up super early, got high and watched the sun rise at the beach. "We've gotta do this more." It's been about three years since that. That poo poo is balls early.

the cops keep coming to my new house looking for some dude who used to live here, so i keep getting woken up by pounding on my door at 2 am on a work night, and it's getting loving annoying, and I'm afraid of them deciding they think I'm lying about being the new owner and that guy no longer being here and, like, breaking in on me and letting my cat get outside

Have you called the station and complained? At some point that becomes outright harassment.

I complained the first time but was just completely fobbed off, so I didn't bother the second time because what's the point? They obviously didn't even bother recording the fact that the person they're looking for doesn't live here any more and they clearly weren't going to do anything in response to me complaining either.

It sounds like you already know this and it's just not working (as it does with Windows), but just in case... Windows mostly only remembers what monitor you want something to open on if you last closed it there while not maximized.

lmfao i just realized part of why the cops are suspicious of me is because I'm trans lmfao im so used to not passing that the potential for confusion between my masculine presentation and feminine legal name didn't even occur to me (bc i am not used to passing as masculine in appearance and until this point in my transition the issue was usually people not believing me when i gave a male name bc i was so obviously born female; i haven't really had an interaction like this with a stranger since the testosterone started working)

Oh hey I just moved into a sketchy apartment and have just started passing more often too, I regret to inform you that you now live in my actual nightmares Pet peeve: I'm still moving and I keep doing this thing where I get trapped into sitting down and sorting through assortments of tiny objects instead of just shifting the big things. I'll have a lamp and a dresser to move and instead of dealing with them directly I'm going through drawers deciding which buttons I want to keep. This is 100% an anxiety coping thing but its stupid it sucks and I hate it

People who still upload film clips in like 240p. It’s 2019, it’s literally better if you do nothing! Now I just have to search through a thousand poo poo quality clips on YouTube before I find anything watchable.

I don’t think anyone uploads them in that format, you’re just finding old videos.

I still see videos where people use their phone to record footage from their tv. Get hosed if you do that. It's always vertical too.

Now I just have to search through a thousand poo poo quality clips on YouTube before I find anything watchable. My peeve is people who have this peeve, I guess. There's not much in youtube comments that annoys me more than the people who say "lul was this recorded with a potato???? unwatchable" (similarly with any audio issues). I guess we're not at the point yet where we come around and it's "hip" to buy VHS players like we do with record players. Yeah HD is obviously better than VHS quality, but to say it's unwatchable is super overblown.

The 9 boomers in the engineer pit that shares a wall with my cubicle seem to be having an ongoing contest to see who can have the loudest, most annoying ring tone on their phone. The biggest standout so far is the max volume recording of an air raid siren.

Overwatch Porn posted:people using the word "memeing" when they just mean joking My youngest does that kind of thing. She refers to everything as a "meme" even if it's just a picture that she's seen more than once. She's in 4th grade and has her thumb on the bleeding pulse of whatever is "cool" on the Internet. I have to ask her to define things for me all the time. Her thing these days is "Cringy" which apparently means that something makes you uncomfortable. I'd call it "uncomfortable humor", but she keeps saying "cringy" at me. It's not "cringy" it's uncomfortable dammit. Kind of like using "ironic" to mean "facetious" "I was being ironic." No, you were being facetious, flippant, or at best, sarcastic. Read a book. You're making us look like jerks.

It's not "cringy" it's uncomfortable dammit. My least favorite thing is when "awkward" was a super big thing with the awkward turtle and stuff. My 11 or so year old cousin would say "that's so awkward" like every 30 seconds and it was torture. The only way to fight it is to start using the words too. Yeet on them. Dab on them. When they see olds using their words it will eventually become lame in their eyes.

Slang changes over time. It makes old people roll their eyes at the young people mangling language while young people roll their eyes at the olds having a stick up their rear end. It's the circle of life.

This is such a stupid fringe thing, but I hate when there's low friction between a plate and the table the plate is on. Especially tables that have an incredibly smooth surface. There's nothing that makes me feel like a flailing child than trying to cut something and all the effort is just moving the drat plate back and forth instead.

I was at a cafe today and the table wasn't sitting properly flat on the floor, so whenever I cut my food the whole table would wobble. Despite the fact that the food was good and it's really close to my house, it's enough to make me not want to go back there.

It's the circle of life. I know this is true but I hated "My bad" and "Hella" since the day kids at my school started using them. I'm sure some of the stuff I said back then was stupid as hell too though so I guess it evens out. I can't believe some people still say hella.

I was never one for slang, because whenever I tried to use it I got made fun of, so I just stopped bothering and became a very formal kid. It was like this from Austin Powers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8fiCKSMQ4I&t=6s BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 07:28 on Apr 16, 2019 |

Example: https://twitter.com/niuniente/status/1117873974598426625 Can you guess my peeve? That's right, people posting something of someone else. (Either someone else doing something, or content someone else made, in this case.) It gets a lot of attention because people engage with the content. The person who posted it, who is nothing more than a visibility vector for it on that site goes: 'OH ALL THIS ATTENTION IS FOR ME.' and start plugging their own things, or how you should follow them, or what have you. It's just so trite and tedious and peeve-y, that so many people just default to promoting themselves off of things other people have made. Not even linking to the original post/source. Just straight to self-promoting unrelated thing.

Those loving cafe tables with a central column and three legs extending out on the bottom never sit right, and I dread when I see those.

SubNat posted:and start plugging their own things, or how you should follow them, or what have you. This always pisses me off too. Like just because I enjoyed your tweet, regardless of what it is, doesn't mean I want to buy something from your drat etsy account or watch your friend's amateur music video. gently caress off. Also the patreon thing for tweets. It's such a transparent money grab. People are free to use their money however they see fit, but I'll never not think it's incredibly stupid that people are donating hundreds to thousands (collectively) a month to someone simply because they're funny. Tweeting isn't a career. The fact that someone like dril has made it one is an anomaly, but instead of realizing that (much like 99% of aspiring youtubers), they put off getting a real job because they just know the next tweet is going to be the one that ~goes viral~ and launches their "career".
