This is really an irrational pet peeve, and I'm almost ashamed that it annoys me so much. People who have no idea how to actually place their foot on the pedals on their bicycle and are pedaling with their heels. Like WTF did they just learn riding their bike 2 days ago, who still doesn't know you are way more comfortable and efficient placing it in the middle of your forefoot.

Not being a foot fetishist, I've never noticed how someone places their feet on bicycle pedals.

I don't know how popular or widespread this is, but I've been seeing near constant posts on Facebook advertising "grazing boxes", which is where someone buys some cheese, crackers, cured meat and fruit, puts it in a box, and sells it an absolutely mind-boggling markup. Who the gently caress is buying this poo poo? Go to the supermarket! Or have them deliver! Why are you paying $80 for maybe $30 worth of food? It's not even cooked or prepared in any way; they literally just put it in a box!

I mean, heck, I can look out of my window right now and can see someone biking like that. Not even speaking in hyperbole. FFT posted:At least you admitted it was an irrational pet peeve up front lol True lol, It's so dumb that it annoys me and I think because I noticed it annoying me I see it just that much more often.

I'm a huge John le Carre fan, but God drat whenever he writes about or from the perspective of anyone who's not a cis white man it makes me want to curl up into a ball and die. Women either spend their time boobing breastily, or are otherwise defined entirely by their lack of sexuality. I don't even want to start on when he tries to write black characters.

'Fake' reviews. Where some site pretty much just looks at the specs of some device, writes up some generic blurb about it, and assigns a score, without any actual testing or anything involved. There are so many sites that bloat up the search results with this useless poo poo.

I work at a deli that has those on the marketplace and they're easily our biggest seller. We call them "Charcuterie Pax" and charge $72 each. You can get minis called "Charcutie Pax' for $50. It's the same thing but you get half as much, we don't arrange anything, and we leave out the jam. Every food like that is a hilarious scam.

I mean it is at least a step up from the usual grazing of the plastic XL tub of cheesy puffs.

Oh, I just thought of a really dumb one! I really hate when superheroes like Cyclops or Superman, miss with their eye lasers. How can you miss looking at something?

My roommate signed up for Hello Fresh, and we're both done with it. They've improved the packaging a lot since I subscribed 5 years but, we both agree that everything sorta just tastes the same.

Just to clarify, I'm not saying that Cyclops should just hit 100s all the time, but when I see him trying to laser a car and trailing just behind it, I can't help but think that it can't be that hard to, you know, look up?

Not an X Men expert but I think so because because he's basically always shooting lasers, he just "lifts" his visor to shoot.

I think I may have him partially conflated with Daredevil and thought his eyes were blind death lasers so he used his other heightened senses and blasted off thick ropes of eyenergy So now I'm wondering if his vision IS the destruction beam and it's just a particularly potent emission theory? Or if he sees normally, just through a pinkish haze/with a bright red dot in the middle

When people make a sandwich by putting ingredients on both pieces of bread instead of piling everything on one piece of bread. So they can't just sit the second piece of bread on top, they've got to carefully flip it to try to stop anything falling out. I don't know if anyone is insane enough to do that in real life, but it's incredibly common in cooking/food videos.
