If a message isn't sent you're expected to click on it and press retry. And if you ever lose internet the entire client just stops and is replaces with a perpetually spinning icon. And then there's a good chance it also ate any messages you were writing.

The desktop app is just a website wrapped in a stripped down browser and yet it doesn't bother with responsive design so it has to take up at least 3/4s of the screen when all my other chat apps including like, battle.net, are willing to spin off tiny individual conversation windows, and also takes so much resources despite being a glorified irc, I can't believe this is what we basically have to use in 2020

Delivery peeve: sometimes, the delivery app is really on the ball in terms of where your delivery person is. That's awesome. When it's not, and the app tells you that the delivery person is apparently capable of point to point transport, it's annoying as hell. It's cold out, I need a few minutes to put on shoes and a jacket. (I think it might be the delivery person's GPS, but I'm not going to ding them on reviews over it, it's just annoying.

Phone app location services are pretty spotty sometimes, even when your GPS knows where you are. I was swiping on tinder last night and it told me one of my friends was 7 miles away... she was in the same room as me, currently on tinder.

The second bit is already poo poo but holy gently caress I've had to take two semesters starting now with a horrible motherfucker for which the first is also true. Separate access codes for separate courses too.

An old pet peeve that an effective spook reminded me of, but that didn't bother me because it wasn't an example of it. I always hated that old meme with Screamer videos. They were the worst part of the 90s internet because they were freaking everywhere and weren't actually scary or funny, just annoying, making you jump and freaking you out for a night but then you just felt annoyed. However I just got got by an image that was secretly animated. I was reading through the urban legends on a childrens horror site that collected stories that were in the Scary Stories to tell in the dark books, and most of them are paired with the image that was in the book illustrating the story. however, the pale lady's image actually moves her face slightly. No loud noises or anything, but just jarring enough to be effective. That I didn't mind.

They really were everywhere, it sucked. I definitely remember checking to see if any creepy looking static image on this forum was a jpg or a gif for some time. There was an urbex thread for a while a loooong time ago and you can only see so many dark dilapidated tunnels and buildings before you get paranoid.

PancakeTransmission posted:The Pet Peeve: within that awful wiki article: I got a credit card months ago that allows me passes to airport lounges. The one at Toronto's Pearson says that they require a smart casual dress code, but if you go in, that code is broken all the time. So from now on whenever I read "smart casual", I assume it's being used as a catch-all "we'll find an excuse to remove you if you annoy us" clause.

When you are paying for stuff with your phone but it's hot and humid so your hands are a little sweaty and your phone won't read your fingerprint so you have to put in your pin like a peasant and it takes longer than it should.

i bet the neighbor thinks people are stealing those windchimes to keep at their own houses out of love for windchimes i swear i've posted this exact peeve in this thread at least twice before but for gently caress's loving sake they'd gotten exposure times down to 1/50th of a second by before 1870, people need to loving stop going "hurf durf back then exposure times were like 30 seconds so the fact that they're not blurry means they're dead" about pictures from the fuckin 1920s

A couple years ago, I was at a bar that didn’t take credit cards with my family, and my aunt paid because it was my dad’s birthday and she was treating us. Because the bar only accepted cash, they had an ATM. My aunt was a little nervous because she was very un-tech savvy and had never used one before in her 60-ish years. This isn’t a pet peeve, just a possibly relevant oddity that I thought I’d mention.

I assume it's a breath control technique (like in many martial arts), but it seems a lot less common among men's tennis players. In conclusion, I'm not really sure.

Men do it a lot as well. Rafael Nadal has the weirdest one. I believe it’s been found that tennis players believe grunting helps them, so it works.

I'm really tired of Steam being completely broken for me. The first game I start up after starting my computer will launch just fine. The next one fails 100% of the time. So I try to restart Steam and even it fails to launch, so I have to restart my computer. It feels like switching games on a PS1 except slower.

What up, fellow misophonia sufferer? I have to either eat in a separate room or put the TV on for all meals with my family. They are not particularly gross or noisy eaters; the sound just pokes my brain in exactly the worst way.

Nostradingus posted:My wife eats unrealistically loudly and gets mad if I ask her to consider not doing that. I have A Thing about mouth noises and I can literally hear her eating from across the house. My wife will make the initial bite of any crunchy food as loud as possible while also shaping her mouth in such a way that it makes an "ow" noise at the end. So, over all, it's like, "KKKKKKOW!!!". She's not the only person that does this either. I hear it fairly often. People seem to love crunching down loudly on chips when they go in for the first bite without actually closing their mouth. It gives them some auditory feedback and satisfaction somehow.
