When people accuse businesses of "putting profits before people". No poo poo. What the gently caress do you think a business is? How is that a surprise to you? What world do you live in?

If someone is found standing over a body with a bloody knife screaming I DID IT AND I'M GLAD would you accuse them of murder?

Suddenly pop-culture media is lousy with the abbreviation "BTS" for "behind the scenes." To me, BTS is still the Korean boy band (and I'm not even a fan). I see "Check out this BTS video" and I'm like "Why? I don't care about them. They're still around? Why would they do a collab with Brooklyn Nine-Ni-oh, 'behind the scenes,' sure, okay. :rolleyes:" It feels irresponsible to just suddenly start using the same abbreviation in the same publication for something entirely new (that we had no problem saying in its entirety for however loving long). :cloud:

Both unfortunately remind me of the BTK Killer, which is something else altogether.

People who work for free as a way to get ahead. 3 out of 6 people on my team were sending me emails today asking work questions, and I told each of them it is a federal holiday, and as we work for the federal government, we are not allowed to be working. I technically shouldn't have even been replying to email, but I wanted to remind them because columbus day isn't the most well-known holiday and thought i was doing them a favor. But they kept working.

When you're trying to get a screw-on lid fastened and it won't even seat properly, it just keeps turning then popping off the top thread over and over gently caress YOU

The first time you use an electric panel oven after it's been off for the summer season. There's always -some- dust and stuff that's gotten into them, and it always stinks.
(And they're never designed so that you can just pop off the panel and clean them out before using them, either.)

I kinda miss having centralized water heating + water radiators, since they don't have that issue.

I just put the dipshits I'm socially obligated to be mutuals with on mute and use it to follow local events and things I actually care about. FB Purity adds an incredibly robust control panel.

Facebook as a company and as a thing in general does in fact suck, but there are ways to wring usefulness out of it without drowning in the ads and noise it's built around.

Ugh seriously. My favorite brand of peanut butter apparently outsources their jar lid threading to blind gremlins. I've just started punching the lid back on every time I make a sandwich.

I'm at the point I only use it for FB Marketplace, it's the de-facto online sales thing in my area. CL is a dead-zone full of nothing but crap being sold by olds, and it seems no ones near me uses LetGo/OfferUp (I think they merged?)

All Princesses are Tyrants

I love my local coffee shop but they do this thing where they don't associate names or numbers to any orders which is predictably terrible and results in exchanges like "your drip coffee is number 5 in line and your burrito is number 3" when things are busy, so you have to listen and count each and every relevant order until it's your turn.

I can't emphasize enough that the overall quality, price, and proximity to my condo make this all worth it but holy hell who thought that was a good idea?

I prefer to neither have a number or my name. I'd rather that they just call out the order. It's different with large orders obviously, but, if I get a coffee, I don't need them to write my name on the coffee. I'm right here, it's just coffee, hand it to me.

If they did that at my local Tim's you'd get a stampede every time they'd call a double double, eh!

I'm reading a well-researched book that might be the only book to cover its subject matter, but the writing is not at all engaging, and if the author begins one more sentence with "Moreover," I am going to hijack a bus and drive it to the author's house and edit the god damned thing right in front of God and the police

Cutlery really does just disappear, I swear when we moved into this house three years ago I bought a whole 16-piece set -- forks, knives, two different kinds of spoon! -- for two people, and now all that remains of that original set is a single fork, spoon, and knife. Where does it go?

We can't have accidentally thrown it all away with takeout containers! Once or twice, sure, but 13 times!?

.... Does accidentally throwing cutlery away count as a pet peeve? I've also done it with my driver's license in bank envelopes (why don't they just put it on the outside, honestly)

I found a cache of cutlery in my dogs bed just last week. Mr. Sparkles has been getting the forks and knives off people's plates while we clean up after dinner. Sneaks in while we clear the table and get coffees. We always have at least 8 people eating so we weren't noticing the two or three things going missing until he'd collected so many the bed started clinking. I still haven't caught him in the act, either. Little dude is a drat magician.

I honestly have one too many smart animals and it's a huge peeve. I know I'm not the brightest, but I shouldn't be getting outsmarted daily by my hamster and my dog. Damned tricky bastards. Makes me love my incredibly stupid cat even more.

HOLY FUCK
Mar 31, 2007

Cats are terrifying, everyone knows that! 'Cause they're witches! And they've got knives in their feet!


It’s cutlery, hair ties, and pens. I’m not sure if they get sucked into some alternate universe or what but I’ve had to buy some more knives recently and now I think I need more spoons :psyduck:

Baby spoons were deliberately designed to stop existing the minute you're looking for them. Right when the kiddo has reached peak hangry meltdown they just bloop away to another dimension only to reappear in the bathtub toy net three days later.

People letting their dogs off their leads outside of safe areas.

Inevitably they go "oh, oh my god, i'm so sorry, he never does this" when doggo charges across traffic and tackles people, and like... no yeah he clearly does, you're just an irresponsible lazy idiot.

Bonus points when they don't even care, just stand or sit in place and go "NO, NO, COME, HEEL, COME, NO" while the dog zooms around endangering themself. Don't get a dog if you don't want to train and care for a dog, rear end in a top hat. Dogs like being trained. It's their deal. It isn't mean! And use a loving leash when cars and coyotes and all kinds of poo poo are all around!

When you close a double-door cabinet and the first door you close pops open when you close the second, so you have to push them both closed at the same time.
