I loving hate how lazy our IT helpdesk is. I know they get overwhelmed with stupid bullshit tickets all days but when I send them: "My remote desktop utility is freezing, requiring restart every 10 minutes or so; internet connection on both ends is good and the program's diagnostic utility isn't reporting any latency issues at all, please advise. Additionally, there have been several logins from IPs that don't correspond to my computer, there may have been unauthorized access" and I get back: "Internet connection at your on-site computer is good, please contact your ISP, ticket closed" I want to punch a hole in the wall. I haven't gotten anything done all day, which isn't their fault, but I sat through 5 hours of IT security seminars and other assorted horseshit for them, the least they could do is read past the first semi-colon on my loving help ticket.

My favourite is when I submit a ticket, they fire back asking for more info, I provide it, and then they sit on it for two weeks before sending an automated message saying, ‘Hey, we’ve not heard from you in a while so we’re closing your ticket!’ Added points for being all surly with me when I fire back to point out that no, it’s not closed, they just never got back to me.

i hate how a vagina is symbolized using a pair of hands forming a heart in advertisment. i get it, it's got to do with making love so it's a heart and a heart also kind of looks like a mons pubis but it's such an overused visual cliche and it's on everything. it's also vaguely sexist

i checked a chapter of my wife's thesis for spelling and grammar and rewrote it a bit so it's more readable. she had to send it to her old professor in japan, and this guy just chewed her out for it, pointing out lots of "mistakes" which aren't really mistakes, but just turns of phrase that are different from whatever archaic english set phrases he learned in japanese high school. like, you doddering old piece of poo poo, don't always think you know better. a well written thesis isn't verbose or crammed with adjectives, it's direct and clear. most of these old "professors" at japanese universities don't even hold a phd themselves, they just ended up in their position because of seniority

Pegasus is the name of a winged horse. It is not the name of a species. Saying "a Pegasus" is as ridiculous as saying "a Hercules".

New pet peeve is people who post some fact or insight on twitter followed by 'just sit for a minute. Just let that sink in.' no, gently caress you! I immediately think a lot less of whatever the content of the tweet was due to this smug, patronising bullshit.

“Say it again for the people in the back” annoys the hell outta me too. I hate when people call the virus COVID. That’s the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, it’s not the loving virus. COVID stands for COronaVIrus Disease for poo poo’s sake! The disease part is in the acronym!

My pet peeve is all that name stuff. My work involves talking to many of the docs and public health experts who are working on covid treatments and vaccines for medical collaborations. While yes, you are technically accurate that the virus is SARS-CoV-2 and the disease is COVID-19, most people don’t care and COVID-19 is way easier to say for everything COVID related. It’s not as if we’re talking about some other current age global pandemic-causing coronavirus To put this in perspective, I just hate it when I get corrected by someone who isn’t neck-deep in this poo poo all day every day. I have family members and a few MD friends who don’t work on COVID but see fit to correct me about virus versus disease when it comes up in discussion and that is my pet peeve. You think I don’t know?! I just don’t wanna spend the extra second saying the proper term when I have to use it four times a minute for eight hours straight!

youtube videos that are edited so that theres a quick cut after virtually every sentence, it's done to create a streamlined monologue with no pauses but it sounds weird and hyperactive and i don't like it when you read something online that's meant for a general audience but they use terms that only apply to americans, like "five times the size of the state of north dakota!" or "three football fields" or "in the country" or "nationwide" etc

I don't mind trimming out some longer or more awkward pauses or more irritating filler words, but please leave some resting spaces, some strategic ums and ers, and at least a bit of human rhythm so I'm not exhausted.

Middle aged burnouts who have to constantly tell you how they don't "get" twitch and/or youtube videos. Especially when they constantly compare to them screenshot LPs or blogs respectively. They are not replacements for those things, they are replacements for white noise TV. And twitch is just as good for the chat as for the actual streamers, you just have to find good communities instead of joining some stream with 3000 tweens spamming chat. Saying twitch chat just always sucks is like saying IRC or forums suck.

My roommate decided that rather than only vacuuming up the bag of chips she made explode, she should then continue to vacuum for 45 minutes with the hand vac, leaving it running as she moves from place to place.

Reminds me of Far Cry 2 and how all the mission briefing dialogs were edited into one single unbroken run on sentence which just kept going and going while they explained how it was vital that you blow up this mine or that pipeline and by the way even though you're working for us now we haven't bothered telling any of our soldiers so they'll just keep attacking you on sight but we don't mind if you kill them anyway now off you go and watch out for the Jackal OK? Bizarre choice by Ubisoft there.

I hate when clothing brands are inconsistent with including size charts in their product descriptions or don’t have them at all. This seems to happen more frequently with smaller brands which is even more annoying when their return policies aren’t great so instead i have to email them about sizing for each piece i guess?? If there were garment measurements even it’d help a little but i lost 30 pounds and there isn’t anything that fits well enough for me to measure against Obviously the solution is to buy from places that do have size charts but i can’t find anything i like enough to buy and looking for new things is weirdly overwheming and exhausting

A catalog of the bicycle infrastructure in your American city: The quarter inch of pavement laid down over bare dirt in 1986 and not maintained since (except when someone was kind enough to mark the tree roots with red paint). The totally sweet downhill with a posted speed limit of 7 MPH. The two-way cycle track that forces you to switch sides of the road three times in less than a mile. The unprotected bike lane on the side of a six-lane highway. The beautiful multi-use path that unceremoniously dumps you out on a random sidewalk half a mile from any other piece of infrastructure. "Let's put a bunch of random curves on this trail so that nobody can go too fast, OK?" The pleasant trail through farm country with a stop sign at every single intersection, including driveways that clearly haven't been used for decades.
