Hold the jar top under some hot water for a little bit til the lid expands some. This works especially well if the lid is metal.

I hate showering in this kind of weather - it's got really hot out, so the water comes out super-heated compared to the normal temperature so it's really uncomfortable.

I have the opposite peeve. I hate showering in winter because although the actual shower is lovely and warm, it’s cold getting undressed to get in and then it’s cold when you get out of the shower. We only have a reverse cycle aircon in the main room for heat in our unit and little insulation and the bathroom just has a heat lamp. Luckily it’s only cold for a couple of months each year in Sydney, but those couple of months feel really cold.

I open jars by biting the lid a bit so it deforms and releases pressure if i really cant screw them open

Have you people seriously never heard of a brix jarkey? I'm sorry but the thought of you guys wasting your entire lives loving around with hot water and butter knives is hilarious.

It annoys the ever living hell out of me when someone sits around talking about the errand they're going to run/are putting off. I know it's going to suck waiting around at the DMV for three hours but you just spent three hours moping around the house talking about how it's going to suck, so... coulda been done by now.

Complaining is its own separate thing, also a peeve. What I meant is more when somebody states their immediate plans and then I plan around that, except their part never happened so now my plan has to change too. I'm trying to think of an example that's not petty or couldn't be solved by a quick simple conversation, but failing because it is kind of petty for me to get annoyed at someone for that kind of thing and it can be easily solved. HOWEVER it could also be solved by people just following through on what they said in the first place. If it's "I'm going to take a shower in 45 minutes" then I know I can squeeze one in first. Instead it's just "I'm going to take a shower" then 45 minutes later they still haven't and now it's getting late enough that I'd almost just rather go to bed.

I love wildlife and birds and the CONCEPT of the dawn chorus. However, when they're all happening outside my window every day from 4am onwards I am less of a fan. We have at least one nest in the gutter above our bedroom window, plus more in the surrounding trees. So, basically, we're surrounded by sparrows and starlings who are chirping, chattering and clattering and waking me up every day until they emigrate away again. (edit : sparrows aren't migratory but they seem to vanish in the colder months anyway)

The best tool for opening jars is something called a boa constrictor. I of course just use my big manly man-hands.

That reminds me of a great thing in a Gordon Ramsay recipe that's on his site for a lasagne with a side-salad. His method of dressing the lettuce is extreme as gently caress - he says to make the dressing, spread the leaves on the whole intact head of lettuce, put it top down in the dressing and sweep it around to evenly dress, then PULL THE HEART OF THE LETTUCE STRAIGHT OUT WITH YOUR BARE HANDS LIKE MOLA RAM! and let the leaves fall.

why do smoke alarms inform you that they have low battery by screeching at full smoke alarm volume and inform you when you mess with them in any way, such as doing things you are SUPPOSED TO DO TO THEM like hitting the "shut up smoke alarm" button or changing to a new battery, by doing the same, and why do they always go low in the early hours of the morning and why are they placed so high that you can't even hit the "shut up smoke alarm" button without effort thanks alarm, you have never saved us from a fire or CO poisoning but you always told us when the oven was set above 400, and now all the neighbours hate us e: this apartment doesn't even have a fire escape, we'd just have to run down the regular stairs which are past a couple chokepoints, so i'm fully expecting to one day die horribly to the fire that karma demands this post bring upon me, all the while hearing that horrible noise as the smoke alarm uselessly warns me because it screeched about the oven one too many times and everyone ignores it now Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 11:10 on May 29, 2020 |

I hate that all modern electronics beep to let you know they're low on battery. The first time, fair enough. Good to know that I'm down to 20%, thanks, I'll do something about that as soon as I can. But doing it again every time the battery drops another percentage point is not loving helping. There needs to be a "Thanks, message acknowledged, don't tell me again" option.

Computer security training. I mean, I get that we have to teach boomers how to not fall for social engineering (and they still do), but it's so asinine to have to do it yearly. And now I get to read about privacy data laws across the world, because I'm totally going to need to do it in Asia

i hate it when someone keeps mentioning that they own apple products like it's some kind of badge of honor. had to do a zoom meeting with someone and their first email was like "i will see if i can get Zoom working on my Apple Macbook  " then she had some trouble and was like "I'm sorry, my Apple Macbook doesn't seem to work with Zoom" and went on a rant about zoom's lack of security and how it is "easy to hack" (by which i think she means someone who has the link to a meeting can get in, which is what she thinks hacking means) and how her Apple® Macbook™ protects her from such hazards. it didnt help that she seemed like a dumb person and had one of those "in this house" signs in her living room behind her

Heavy machinery first thing in the morning. It feels like that's when heavy machinery work gets done, for no reason I can discern. Our idiot neighbors had a concrete guy over yesterday who spray-painted a couple spots on their driveway and left. Today I'm woken up by concrete trucks and poo poo moving into our very quiet residential neighborhood at 7:15; the real clanging and loud droning begins at 7:30 as, it turns out, a power lifter is removing their entire driveway. The only thing they have ever done with that driveway is park their loving vehicles on it at all times, instead of in their perfectly nice two-car garage.

My wireless headphones are deafeningly loud at 20% volume, 100% is i guess for wearing around your neck, but guess at what volume the lady who lives inside them screams 'LOW BATTEWY'?  My peeve is when people say 'question' before asking a question. Just ask! We know what a question is!

My peeve is when people launch directly into questions without saying 'hey' or something first, so the first half of the question is lost to the wind before my brain starts paying attention. Luckily it's usually pretty easy to guess what that first half was based on context, but still, stop assuming the entire world is listening 100% to you and nothing else the instant you open your mouth, people.
