My friend leaves her phone in her purse when she's at home and just says 'well if Im at home then use Facebook messenger' but how the hell am I supposed to know when she's home, also she will completely ignore any messages received on her phone between outings. I wish more people understood that owning a cell phone is an implicit agreement to be relatively easy to contact!!

yeah I eat rear end posted:As it is now it's completely arbitrary, like the rules are "whatever our current IT nerd thinks is secure enough". At least have a standard so I don't have to remember your site's specific weird rule. The thing I hate is when a site has some weird rule that it tells you when you create a password but not when you log in. If you remind me that my password for this site is letters and numbers only then I'll probably remember what I used. Otherwise I'm going to guess, get it wrong, reset the password and only then be told about the requirement and remember what the old password was. And what the hell kind of bullshit is going on behind the scenes that makes "letters and numbers only" a necessary rule in the first place?

I prefer to see my friends twice a year or something rather than a constant dribble of information about their lives.

Remember, our passwords require ____ and ____ etc" message would completely solve the problem for me. It's not like these rules are a secret, a hacker could just push "create an account" and see what they are if they tune whatever they are using based on them. Also that "agreeing to be easy to contact" cell phone thing is silly. If you want to be constantly on call, that's fine. If you want to keep it on silent and only look at it a couple times a day and only respond when you feel like it, that's fine too. Imho it's not healthy to be online/reachable 24/7.

Texts me that he works until 3:50 and the available shows after that are 4:10 and 7:10, I ask which show he wants and he says he’s not sure so I tell him I wanna buy reserved tickets so let me know by end of next day. I hear nothing back so I ask him if he knows what he’s doing and he simply says “I can go after work, I might miss previews” I can assume this means the 4:10 show but I don’t wanna buy until I confirm because he never said which showing he wants so I ask if I can buy tickets for that showing. No response back, I send a “?” after about 20 minutes. It’s now a good 2 hours later and he’s seen the message but has not replied.

Extremely norwegian peeve: We have the letter æøå/ÆØÅ (eh? uh? oh?) in addition to the normal letters in the latin alphabet, this isn't the peeve. The peeve is the hordes of people who, the moment they don't have access to them on a keyboard, instantly slap in phonetic-ish replacements all over the place, making it insanely tedious to read. Jeg går på do, løsner på hølet, og driter så jævlig hardt at det klirrer på kjøkkenet. Suddenly becomes Jeg gaar paa do, loesner på hoelet, og driter saa jaevlig hardt at det klirrer paa kjoekkenet. Æ to ae is fine, but people will loving understand you if you just replace å with a, and ø with o, like in URLs. You don't need to loving 'correct' it by typing in replacements like that. I've had some customer interactions with people who have moved to the states, and thus only have pcs with us keyboards. And my eyes just slide off the loving paragraphs of text because it's so tedious to parse at length. It's a kind of norwegian than only exists when you have olds intersecting with pcs, adding to the already large annoyance of olds interacting with pcs. "Oh you don't need to baby me with this I'll have you know, I was a professor in Computer Science back in the day." "Oh and by the way, now that I have you on the phone at 1 in the morning(~6 hour timezone difference.), how do I unpack this zipped file you sent me?"

If you call me without me expecting a call I’m almost guaranteed to not pick up, and I’m not sorry. Double not sorry if you then leave a voicemail for a personal call, instead of a text message. “Glance at phone and read message for two seconds, respond at leisure” vs “drop what you are doing, totally ignore everyone you are with, possibly be forced to walk to a new location, listen to you talk.” It’s the cell phone version of making things a ten minute video instead of an article that takes 2 minutes to read! Also, leave a reason for calling, not just “call me” and the reason needs to be more than “it is important!” “Important” could be “mom died” or it could be “I’m in line at subway do you want anything” SubNat posted:Extremely norwegian peeve: We have the letter æøå/ÆØÅ (eh? uh? oh?) in addition to the normal letters in the latin alphabet, this isn't the peeve. This is a surefire way to find hunt-and-peck typists, they never learned their own keyboard layout.

Them, and people not technically literate enough to understand that it's possible to change your keyboard language in OS, and not have it match up to what's on the keys. Yeah. For all we know they might be perfectly touch-typing those mutilations of the language, but aren't aware they can change it, and don't care to do even a cursory search about it. Which is a peeve in it's own regard.

I don't get how anyone responds to anything involving a phone number. If I take my phone off DND, it rings continuously, on top of hundreds of texts every day. Thats with me changing my number every six months and not giving it to anyone.

Related peeve. Italian keyboards have accented letters: éèòàùì. Only lower case, not upper case. There is no way to easily write uppercase accented letters. Likewise, Italian keyboards do not have a way to write a tilde (this thing: ~, which I copypasted from Wikipedia). And yet there's a lot of software (like Discord, for instance) where tildes are used in a markup language, so I have to go look for the symbol and copypaste it ifI want to use the markup.

I felt very stupid when I realized how much unnecessary frustration I put myself through.

I wouldn’t have minded as much if I was the one who invited him, but he wanted to come. He did get back to me shortly after that post after I did a final “I’m buying the tickets now for this time, if you are coming say yes otherwise I’m only buying for me and another” and I got a response! So I guess it works.

people who get mad at me because Fiat Chrysler of America has not provided, in 2019, tools for dealing with 1967 AMCs etc. if your car is more than 15 years old the manufacturer has probably stopped making parts for it, and while i can understand being upset about that in cases like "2004 jeep can't get parts from jeep dealership" im fuckin boggled by the number of people who get really mad about it when there's no support for 30+ year old cars that were never even manufactured by this company, only by a different company that a predecessor of this company bought out decades ago??

I just got back from my brother's house (staying over for his birthday for a few days), and I hate staying at someone else's house, they always do small things differently that make me go "Why did you make this decision?" Like my brother has a sponge and fluffy tea towels (made of bath towel stuff) for doing dishes, but those leave bits all over the cups and bowls. I have teatowels with a blank side that has no fibres to shed, and a cloth that rinses out much easier than a sponge and can be put in the laundry when it gets gross. No bits left behind. Also he has really deep bowls and really shallow spoons that just feel awkward to use. On top of that, he has a rug-style bathmat by his bath (I just put my actual towel down by my bath to absorb any water, it then just dries and doesn't get gross) and doesn't have an non-slip mat inside it, so standing by it is gross due to the mouldy-feeling rug and it feels like a slipping hazard inside the bath. I also don't envy his neighborhood, it's a long walk to a fairly sad town centre that's mostly sandwich shops and thrift stores, while my area has many shops of different types relatively close by. I also hate living by other people's schedules, having to stay in bed longer than I'm used to was uncomfortable, and may have contributed to a bad back for a few hours each morning. I tend to wake up early, my body just does that, and he... doesn't. I'm just glad I'm back in my smaller, less well-put together, but slightly more comfortable (for me) apartment.

I can't even go out because they have a dog that will bark and wake everyone up. I get to sit in my room, and silently watch Netflix on my phone for a couple hours.

There's also a small aspect for me, of feeling "trapped", because for years I had trouble finding a stable job,, so was stuck living with my parents for longer than I liked, so by the time I finally had the means to move out I didn't look back, because having my own space was such a relief at 27. As a result, if I ever end up going back to visit them and I'm there for too long I end up feeling uncomfortable because the feeling of no longer being in control of my day rears it's head again and the old feelings of being trapped reassert themselves until I'm finally able to come back. I know it's not rational and it's not fair on them, but it's just how I feel.

One of my friends was trying to convince me that I should move into a share house because paying as much as I do for such a lovely flat was a bad idea, but just the fact that I have my own space with no one else's foibles to deal with makes it worth it to me. I don't have to worry about not making noise after a certain time at night (or keeping anyone else from making noise if I want to go to bed early). I don't have to put up with other people's choices about shared resources. I don't have to work my schedule around anyone else's. Living alone is actually great and worth paying a bit extra for.

I'm pretty firm on my never living with anyone (that i'm not in a relationship with) ever again after college. I had enough. I guess there are some upsides including saving maybe a couple hundred on rent a month, but not enough to balance out the downsides. Even if you get along (which becomes even more of a crapshoot the older you get - in college people are generally less set in their ways, and if they're a problem you just get a new one next year), it's just a hassle. Roommate friends rarely work out long-term until you move away from each other - it's like with coworkers, you just see too much of each other and eventually end up hating each other.

I have a pool of exactly one roommate to draw experience from but it's been pretty good for me so far, and we're on year two. I think the key is that you both do have to understand that they're not you, and you shouldn't expect them to be, and make compromises. I mean you're not always going to get along, but who cares if they want to watch the Finale of The Voice on Tuesday? I have a Switch, or a TV in my room.
