I used to think that I liked wings, but then I realized that I actually just like the sauce and the wings were just a way to deliver the sauce to my mouth. Now one of my favorite snacks is button mushrooms dipped in Buffalo sauce.

Edit: never trust a restaurant that claims to specialize in wings but only has napkins at the tables instead of paper towels.

And now it covers more of the screen than it would have in the first place because it turns out the wet nap just kind of thinned it a bit.

I love wings but these days it’s a full trip to the sink to wash my hands before the phone comes out.

One of our cats has a kidney infection and keeps doing her business everywhere except her litter box.

Not sure if it counts as a peeve because as annoying and gross as it is, it isn't her fault and she's a perfect beautiful baby who just needs all the love and care.

I can confirm that chicken on its own is not great. I used to just bake boneless skinless chicken breasts and eat them with no seasoning when I was feeling exceptionally lazy and needed sustenance and it wasn't very good. It's like when you boil some white rice and just eat that on its own - yeah i'm not hungry anymore, but was it worth it

The operative words here being "boneless, skinless", like you chose the absolute most boring-rear end way to carve chicken, of course it's going to be dull and uninspiring.

Well of course if you combine it into a meal it can be good, but I meant just eating each individual component on its own. It's not bad, but it's not good either.

People who act like they've been wronged when they were 100% in the wrong. Some dude on the train was fanning himself with a hand fan, taking up twice the space of anyone else and when a schoolkid moved slightly closer to him to let more people on to the train he loving growled at the kid. Like sorry dude, didn't realise you were the only guy traveling on a Tokyo train at rush hour Monday morning who gets to have enough personal space to wave your arms around you entitled rear end in a top hat.

Are they one of those people that phrase things like they are optional even when they aren't? Or a person that takes a yes/no question and rephrases it so that it can't be answered with yes or no?

Yeah, a lot of "Do you wanna (do the thing nobody would ever want to do)?" or asking if you could do/get something "for us" despite them being the sole beneficiary. Gets old! I thankfully don't deal with this too often, but it struck the hell out of me today due to an aggressive headache.

Our sick cat is not grooming bc of her being sick and scared, and I need to brush her and take her matted fur bits out, but that will hurt and make her more upset, and then prolly go pee and/or poo poo under the bed or something bc she is mad at me. Also our largest and oldest of the three keeps yelling at her cuz she's acting all weird and scared. My partner also fosters service puppies and current puppy is a sweetheart who is genuinely concerned at sick cat, but just pisses sick cat off more by trying to be nice.

Also sick cat took a poop on top of the kitchen cabinets to shield herself from shame just as I was writing this, so that's another thing to do cuz I don't want my partner coming home to gross cat smells. These animals, can they just give me a break???

Literally pet peeves.

I'd say "No. But I will if you ask me to." And then wait for them to restate the request.

Today I'm peeved by the AdSense algorithm and it's various hangers-on.

Yesterday I ordered a new computer chair. Today virtually all the adverts I see online are for computer chairs and I'd say that over half of them are for chairs from the same company that I've just purchased from. Sometimes for the exact same model of chair that I've just bought.

Dumb fucker of an algorithm - couldn't you work out that I'm unlikely to buy an identical product 24hrs after making a purchase? Couldn't you at least flog me something similar like a computer desk or a :krad: gaming PC with too many rainbow-lit fans or something?

Had this happen when I was looking for a replacement part for our vacuum cleaner, I got ads for the place I had bought it from less than a year before advertising the very same model. If something breaks so quickly I don't want to buy another one.

IIRC, seeing an ad for a product you already own not only makes it more likely that you'll recommend it to a friend, it also makes it more likely that you'll buy another product from the same brand, so it's still worth it to advertise to recent customers.

I super like tempura vegetables in wing sauce cause it turns out everything I like about wings is sauce. And that's what convinced me to be a vegetarian. Well that and I can't afford meat but really the wing sauce did the heavy lifting.

A bit late, but as a wing sauce fan but a wing hater I have a recipe for you: Nashville Hot Tofu Nuggets. A delicious vehicle for wing sauce. Only thing is that you need to double the sauce from the recipe, it's way too little. I'm not vegan so I make it with butter, works well.

I only see ads two places now, twitch and watching cable at my mom's place. What amazes me is that it's the same drat ads every time. It's an active turnoff. Like, there's a Sonic within walking distance of my apartment, we used to go there, and now I never go there because I see the loving logo and immediately imagine fifteen million annoying Sonic ads from twitch.

The Sonic ones are particularly bad now. It used to always be two wacky people talking about how much they love Sonic, now it's literally faceless, as in the actors are shot from neck down, employees just loving minimum wage fast food jobs.

Am I the only one sick of Soyjacks? Unfortunately, the rest of the internet has decided that we need to make more varieties of them, make them ever more hideously distorted, and post them loving everywhere.

It’s not an ideological thing, and I’ve not posted anything that has prompted a Soyjack to be posted in response. They’re just unpleasant to look at. Hopefully soon we’ll look back and say “Hey remember when people thought it was cool to post this hideous rictuses covered in scraggly hair? Dark times, thank god we don’t do that anymore.”

Dear Internet, stop making me look at Soyjacks. Sincerely, Dr Christmas.

I think because it's full of corporate idiots, everything that they post needs to be ~*inspiring*~ and ~*life-affirming*~ and I want to claw my eyeballs out. At least on real facebook I have friends with weird senses of humor. Now that I think of it I guess I should just use Indeed for jobhunting :doh:

The people who get really involved with posting or engaging with all that poo poo are either a) just faking it in order to look good and climb the ladder or b) loving losers who genuinely derive pleasure from it.

Neither is the kind of person you really wanna hang out with.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and barbecue your own drumsticks!

Related, my husband was doing a webinar the other day after I got home from work. He works from home and his work station is right near my desk so I had the "privilege" of listening to the webinar while browsing the forums and poo poo posting.

It was about "networking" and it was the most disgusting soulless "how to be a corporate ladder climbing toady" poo poo. Like, have an "elevator speech" ready in case you're in an elevator with your superior. Take five minutes to toady up to the big wig! Here's how to turn any social interaction into a way to get a few more rungs on the ladder! Go to a friend's house, not to hang out, but to build your "network"!

It was appalling. I felt like I should take a shower afterwards to wash the oily slick off me. :barf: Husband agreed it was gross. If this is what it takes to get ahead, I'll resign myself to being poor, thanks.
