Agreed with you on whistling though.

Will you pay me to not whistle around you?

Can't be a champion if you've got mushy lips tho, and if your avatar is any indication I'm not sure you actually know how to whistle at all.

Men have a bigger tendency to allow their bravado/ego to carry more of a conversation. So if they say some dumb poo poo once to make conversation, even if they knew it was BS at the time they will state it as fact from then on even after they have been corrected. They said it, so its true. Only gets worse with age. mojo1701a posted:

I got some protein powder for weight lifting a couple of years ago, the package has that sort of ENERGY! marketing on it, so to them it's like I am almost doing STEROIDS. My dad got worried that I would be fat from taking it, while my step mom did take chocolate milk powder mixture. Checked the ingredients, almost same Carbohydrates/Sugar/Protein mix.

Youtube apparently wants their phone app to be actually unusable. They apparently added a "feature" that autoplays videos you hover over in your recommended feed...with audio. Who wants this? How can you browse in public when random poo poo is constantly going to start playing unless you keep scrolling constantly? Why is there apparently no option to turn this off, at least not where you'd expect it to be (e.g. the "settings" menu)? Just revert it back to what it was like 2 years ago. It was fine. Stop "fixing" it.

CityMidnightJunky posted:People who push the close door button on elevators. I don't know why you being an impatient gently caress annoys me so much. Maybe it's because pressing that button does jack poo poo. Maybe it's because a good 80% of the time you do it right after you got on. Which means the journey would have been a lot quicker if we didn't have to stop for your rear end to get on in the first place. On the opposite, sometimes it does work. The last two places I've worked have had an active door open and door close button. At one place, if you didn't hit close, it would sit for 15 seconds. At my current place, it works but it's not necessary. The drat door self closes within 2 seconds of opening. Sometimes the doors hit you on the shoulders while you walk from the call button into the elevator. Really irritating.

Christmas related peeve, people who get insulted by me not liking Christmas. I grew up cripplingly poor with a family that outright said they hoped I'd die last time I saw them 17 years ago (and my dad tried to make it happen lmao I'm still here bitch), so the whole family and presents thing just makes me bitter. I generally keep it to myself unless prompted but of course if you dont show the exact right amount of enthusiasm, the inquisition comes out and demands to know why. The most memorable instance is when a bunch of gay people were commiserating about lovely families and how christmas is always a loving chore, someone barged in and melted down about how we were ERASING their EXPERIENCES by not liking christmas, like we were hating christmas as a personal attack against them. God drat I hate christmas so much.

December is an absolute nightmare when you have no friends or family at all. I lost my entire social network in a bad divorce. Now I live in hiding from my ex, meaning finding a new one is pretty difficult. Also, when I grew up, Christmas meant saving up so Granny would make lots of special food and biscuits. So Christmas gifts for me means box of home made biscuits. I never learned how to shop for proper gifts. Unrelated peeve: People who come home from work around 3 in the morning, every day, and drive with their speakers on full blast, slam their doors, and generally do everything they can to wake up every single neighbour.

Iron Crowned posted:I wish my mom would stop asking me what I want for Christmas, because the answer is always "nothing." I don't want a damned thing for Christmas, and stop getting offended because I know you already bought me another pair of cheap slippers. also don't get pissed when I say "cash". If you're going to get me something, that's what I'd prefer it to be, if I want a Thing, i'll buy it myself. They seem to be offended by the idea of cash, but gift cards are somehow fine. I mean, I still appreciate it, it's technically money, but it's harder to use money. On one hand, it's nice being so loaded up on shell gas cards that i haven't paid my own money for gas in over a year, but on the other, when am I going to think "you know, I could really go for 25 dollars worth of applebees, i'm going to drive 15 minutes to get there instead of eating basically anything else"? and don't pull that "we're not doing gifts this year". Whenever they say this and a family member doesn't bring gifts, they just talk poo poo about them behind their back for the next year about how they "should have known" they didn't actually mean it. But then if you DO buy a gift, it's this weird aggressive exchange of "i TOLD you not to get any drat gifts! but fine, i'll take it, but next year you better not get me anything. here's my gift I got because I knew your dumb rear end would pull this crap again. why do we do this every year? Next year we shouldn't even get together". Every single year. It always ends with swearing we'll never do it again, but then we do.

What I hate is that the gift exchange always becomes a money game. My parents are always fawning all over how nice my brother is to spend so much money on things for his family, whereas there's always resentment that I drove 8 hours to get there and didn't spend that much because I have to do things like pay bills. Last year I thought I was a genius because I bought some new board games for them. Two out of three went over well, but there was still a lot of resentment that I didn't spend a shitload of money. If you want to know the games, Potion Explosion and Splendor went over well, Pandemic nearly caused a fist fight during setup.

Pet peeve: lovely fans who make me like things less. I know this shouldn't affect me but it does. For example: my enjoyment of Breaking Bad is retroactively lessened by memories of people calling Skylar a bitch and thinking Walt was someone to be admired, rather than being poo poo from E1. Also, being hungry and waiting for soup to cool down.

I can kind of empathize with them, it always sucks having to admit you were wrong, even if it's only to yourself. And if you choose to keep it to yourself, it can be hard to keep up the charade of hating something you actually like.

My volume bar peeve is volume that scales exponentially or something non-linear. Hearthstone is a very well known example of an awful sound bar. Like this is the only setting where it's tolerably loud:  anything above that for the master volume, it just swamps any other sound out. It's so drat loud. Just one tick on the bar is like a 150% sound increase. And on the opposite end, some apps have to be at full volume to be at a normal listening volume. In an ideal world you could just set the decibel level manually. Unlabeled scalebars that work differently from thing to thing are useless.

When you have a place to be that you don't even want to go to the first place, but you buck up and go anyway with a 'at least im being productive now' feeling. Then you get there and hardly anyone else has shown up, so now you feel double stupid that you should have just stayed the hell home.

First-person video games where raindrops hit the screen. That's meant to be my eyes. How are raindrops hitting and running down my eyes? That's not a thing that can happen. Still kind of annoying in third-person games because it gives the impression that there's supposed to be a physical camera there when there really shouldn't be, but at least not as dumb as in first-person games.
