Posting peeve (yes, yes, I know, someone is going to say that my posting is a peeve of theirs): Post A: {Thing 1. Thing 2. Thing 3.} Post B: {quoting the entirety of Post A} I don't know if you knew this, but {Thing 2}. Like, c'mon. It's right there. I get you can miss things, and it chafes my rear end when I forget, but at least edit your post to acknowledge that you missed it, or something.

Minor peeve: when I'm cleaning a bathroom and people stare at me expecting me to stop cleaning and get out rather than looking around to see the Five empty bathrooms in the same hallway. Major peeve: when people act like I'm an rear end in a top hat for asking them to use one of the empty bathrooms so I can actually clean the one I'm already cleaning. I feel like part of it is that they're embarrassed and feel like they need to commit or something but like whooo loving cares I'm making it as easy as possible to just say "whoops my bad" and move on like a normal person

People who misuse the word "humbled" when they mean "overwhelmed" (or something else, idk). This really bugs me when people say this in their acceptance speech when they've won a major award, like an actor at the Oscars. "Wow, thank you, I feel so humbled right now." That's not what "humbled" is! You're humbled when you DON'T win the award, when your career tanks, when you've been arrogantly thinking you're hot poo poo and something puts you in your rightful place.

"See also humblebrag." Eat poo poo olds we have the dictionary now. Peeve: people who take the bus who nobly choose to stand so others can sit... when there is plenty of seating and it's after rush hour. Sit down dumbshits. These people always end up crowding at either the main door or the back exit. Because those areas have room for people to stand together. Because that is where people walk to get on and off the bus.

Where I've worked it's spot-cleans for messes and recently vacated seats, basically as a part of bussing. Nobody gives a poo poo if the table next to them is getting a carpet sweep and a wipedown. Nobody likes a vacuum or mop or broom nudging their ankles or a bucket of dirty water set next to them during a meal. I was at one place where the guy parked a rolling dumpster next to me to empty garbages while I ate.

It most certainly is not. Only someone who has never tasted either kind would say something like that. Go to the store once in a while. be clear with the words you are using. Kraft singles fake is not equivalent to the deli sliced cheese "fake". yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 23:50 on Jun 11, 2019 |

I've never seen "American" cheese for sale at the deli, at either supermarkets or the fancy groceries. What does it taste like? Cheddar? I do like Kraft singles for burgers and baked potatoes. In any other context they taste vile.

I think the primary components are cheddar and colby, so a mix of those basically. There's a white and a yellow variety (maybe more) that taste slightly different. I don't like it as much as cheddar on a sandwich, but it's still not in the same category as the "food product" singles. You can tell just by looking at the stuff - one is shiny and actually feels fake, the other feels and looks like cheese.

The whole point is kind of stupid to argue about (as with everything else I've posted/argued about ITT) because all of them (cheese whiz, velveeta, artificial food product singles, and deli american cheese) are good for their own purposes. Imho it's like arguing about different fat content of ground beef. You use the cheap fatty stuff one way, the lean more expensive stuff another way.

rodbeard posted:It's literally the same thing just unsliced. By definition everything labelled American Cheese is the fake stuff. Buy Colby cheese instead. It’s literally not friend One is a crappy cheese that melts well and one is solidified vegetable fat with natural flavour As an american who moved to Canada, this is a hilariously stupid and exaggerated take on the actual differences between the two countries. Like it’s the black-and-white infomercial family version of what lovers moving between the two actually entails. I’m shocked no one did a wacky slip on a melting kraft single while their child threw gravy and cheese curds around, before the full-colour parents made kraft dinner with boatloads of ketchup and with kraft brand gravy packet sauce on some fries.

American cheese vs "American cheese". It's one of those weird things like "salad" or "a salad". I think of the processed and individually wrapped kind by default, but it also exists as an actual cheese that's a blend of colby and cheddar. Both are good.

Tiggum posted:[dictionary post] I don't agree with that dictionary.  This is what Merriam-Webster says: quote:humble adjective But then I found this article in The Atlantic which explains what's going on with actors and "humbled." and apparently it's not a misuse of the word after all. quote:Winning an award is about the least humbling thing in the world, and yet when people receive an Oscar or some other illustrious honor, they often say they feel “humbled.” Really, what winners feel is immense pride—and immense fear of being seen as prideful—and so they cover for it by saying they feel the exact opposite, humility. No one wants to come across as cocky. Are winners right to fear backlash for expressing a natural emotion at their most exultant moment? New research finds that they are. [...]

"Boss makes a dollar while I make a dime, that's why I always poop on company time" In my pet peeve news, engineers: - The software I use isn't magic, it takes work to do these things you want me to do. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes, sometimes it takes hours, and whenever you call me to ask how it's coming, I"m going to go shitpost for a while instead. - I have completed the mark ups you gave me, why are you now giving it back to me with more that weren't there the first time around? I"m going to shitpost for a while instead. - It's 10 minutes before I go home for the day, why are you giving me instructions now? You better drat well believe that the first 30 minutes of the day tomorrow is going to be shitposting.

I know I've bitched about this at least twice in this thread but it just happened again--idiots ordering me to cross the street. I stopped at the corner with my dog, saw an SUV coming--no big, I'll just wait. Of course he stops in the middle of the loving road. Surely not for me, I think. If he'd kept going I could have already crossed by now. But now I'm waiting to see if he's actually turning and wondering if I've waited long enough that he'll lunge forward if I do try to cross. Another car comes along the opposite way. Oh good, I'll just wait this one out, I think, and the SUV can move on in the meantime. Instead waits for the other car to pass, then keeps sitting like a lump in the road, then loving honks at me. Aaauugh. What is the line of reasoning here? "I'm going to create a dumb, unnecessary situation where everyone's time is getting wasted, and if the pedestrian doesn't validate my dumb choice fast enough I'm going to blast noise at them." I used to jump at horns and scuttle across the road but NO MORE. Now I gesture angrily until they give up and go. DON'T TELL ME WHEN TO CROSS, YOU FUCKS.

I've been sitting in a meeting for the last 45 minutes. My boss brought his lunch and he's a notoriously noisy eater. He's spent almost the whole time chowing down and talking with his mouth full, and it's taking so much willpower to not completely blow up on him right now. If you don't close your mouth when you chew, you're a horrible piece of poo poo and you can

The duplex behind me has had a canoe atop a pile of trash behind their garage for over a year. Today I noticed a second one has joined it. Would it be weird for me to go over an knock on the door to ask if I could just take the canoes? Are they likely to even know what I'm talking about, or is the landlord the one chucking garbage back there?

Yes, the line of reasoning is that we want to create an unnecessary situation where everyone's time is wasted and definitely not that we're trying to give you the right of way since it appears that you want to cross the street. If you don't want to cross the street you should make it obvious by not standing in the spot one does when they want to cross the street.
