Adults that insist on having a big celebration for their birthday on their birthday. We did a get together and gifts this past weekend. Why are you determined to hit the bar on a Tuesday night to celebrate? The actual day doesn't matter. You are 38, just stop it.

Idiot drivers who refuse to turn on their headlights at dawn/dusk. To me, that's right up there with drunk driving.

But really I'm not joking at all, I just want them motherfucking presents. I don't have a big celebration though, cos I've got kids and my life is over.

It's fly season, and my roommate has apparently taken the fly swatter into her room. There are at least two flies buzzing around me at the moment, and I have nothing to destroy them with.

I have a cat that will catch flies expertly and then just hold them in his mouth. He'll just be laying there, buzzing. It's hosed.

That is code for "He bites everyone he meets. He even bites me first thing in the morning before I let him out to bite the neighborhood kids. I have 12 pending lawsuits against me." Seriously, all dogs can bite. They have teeth don't they? My dog isn't a biter, but, if she's freaking out, she'll bite you. Just like any dog. So she stays on lead outside of the house.

There needs to be a youtube option for "never play or recommend this video to me again". I can push "not interested" every day for the rest of my life, but the things keep sneaking into youtube's "random" playlists. I just want this song to heck off forever.

"Hey, have you lost weight? You look good!" I have not been keeping track because my anxiety would blow 5 pounds either way out of proportion, and that same anxiety is now trying to buzz its way into my forebrain. Thanks for that!

I hate the ones with the pictures the most, sometimes I miss things or there’s a small corner of something in a square or it’s like far off in the distance or something. I had to go through like five pictures before I was allowed to proceed when I was trying to log into something not too long ago

The fact that youtube's memory of my viewing habits is shorter-term than mine. If I don't watch something literally every day and i go on a binge of something unrelated, that other thing is just gone from my recommended page forever. There's a show I have watched every week within 2 hours of it being posted for the past 10 months, but youtube doesn't recommend it to me. I'm even subscribed to the page, and it doesn't put it on the front page thing. Why doesn't this stupid robot know what i want yet

Peeve: the way my US and french leftists peers talk about the USSR vs how my girlfriend and especially her dad, who spent more than half his life in it, talk about the USSR. Specifically how the westerners assume that the actual born KSSR citizens of russian origin are wrong and must be splitter trotskyites on the CIA's payroll or whatever bullshit. The dude who got sent from Leningrad to Kazakhstan for being a jew, as an infant, to continue the russification and genocide of Kazakhstan, who insists that being an american in 2021 is still better than life in the Soviet Union in his adulthood from the sixties onward, vs some dweeb insisting Comrade Lenin had everything right.

I wasn't talking about channels I subscribe to. I know how to do that and I always see those right away. I'm talking about listening to a song for months, but one night I start repeatedly listening to a different one for a week or two. If you asked youtube, I apparently never want to see that original song in my recommended ever again. I feel like I have to continuously remind youtube what music I like to give me good recommendations, otherwise they'll keep assuming I only like what I listened to in the past 1-2 weeks.

The way YouTube remembers where you left off in videos also makes no sense. Two minute video that I left 45 seconds into because it sucked? YouTube remembers exactly where I left off, even three years later, and won't stop recommending it to me. Twelve hour video that I left seven hours into because I had to go to bed? Completely forgotten in under a day.

Hope you didn't want to use the "remove watched videos" feature at all, ever.

I worked for a publishing/media company for a bit and they had some bought-in content management system that was like this. In particular, the media player showed the crossed-out speaker symbol when it wasn't muted (because you'd click the button to mute it) and showed the 'speaker with a sound wave coming out of it' symbol when it was muted.

I can push "not interested" every day for the rest of my life, but the things keep sneaking into youtube's "random" playlists. I just want this song to heck off forever. I know it's not possible to get an ad for something I'd ever buy, but could I just not get the same ads over and over again? All insurance is a-la-carte, I don't have to pay for monkey coverage to get window glass coverage. Seriously, stop telling me "pay only for what you want." All insurance works that way. You just get better rates by bundling insurance. However, bundling doesn't really help with life and auto, go ahead and shop. Either way, no-one makes me choose that plan. It's always my choice. I can get health insurance that has no drug coverage. You can do that. I can get drug without health, not recommended but you can. Stop acting like you're special whatever company that advertises it. Your ads are so bad, I don't even remember which company it is even though I see it dozens of times a day. The "Constant Contact" ad. "Be prepared..." etc. At least I remember who they are. It reminds me not to use them because I can't stand their ads. Good job ad man, now I hate the company. The "Sometimes it feels like everything is my fault. Then my dad said..." Hit the skip button. Everything is your fault and I still don't know what you're selling. Shut up shut up shut up. How about an ad for something I might want. Keep it short. I don't need an ad for Amazon. All those ads remind me is that I'm a bad person by not buying some things locally that I could. Reminder for me to take 10 minutes out of my life to got to local business instead of getting Bezos enough money to put a yacht in his yacht that he keeps on his yacht. Please let me have ads for things I want. Then, when you harass me, I might buy them.

fizzymercury posted:I made a complete rear end of myself at my new job because of one of these motherfucking software toggles and I hope the guy that thought it was okay is currently roasting in an unimaginable hell. Ooh, that's a good one. Poor design and execution. I once broke a database by fixing a disconnected SQL database by changing a 1 on to a 0. This was just to turn on a button in the software. The pisser is, that the software was designed to sync databases both directions when the connection came up. The stupid thing is that it synced settings up first, then synched settings down, before synching up the local data to the remote data. Then it would synch the entire remote database back to the local. Development somehow figured out a way to corrupt an entire database because of setting which button is visible. What the hell does the sales data have to do with a button availability? They somehow made it work that way. I've live modified databases a many times and re-synched them without consequence. Yet they made it so it would ruin everything. They never set priority as to which data was primary. The reason I had to make the change was also a known problem and the solution was to turn that field from a 1 to a zero. Just like I did. That was the published fix even though it would corrupt all data 50% of the time. As such, you had to leave the disconnect permanent until you could manually replace the remote database overnight, then re-synch. Even that was not safe either. They could have fixed the button problem in the software, but they didn't. That problem always seemed to happen on a Sunday. It was the worst.

Holy poo poo I'm never eating fast food again hahaa. This morning I went to McDonald's for breakfast and they were out of chicken so I couldn't actually get anything because I'm quite limited in my diet choices- this is not their fault or the peeve it's just the set up, the pet peeve is do your job right please. I go to the other McDonald's and nobody comes to the intercom even though they're open. I go to Dunkin and just get a coffee and donut and the coffee is someone else's coffee. I return, am given a new coffee, and it's someone else's coffee a second time. I think some kind of glass dome government mist plague has spread throughout my town and it only affects people who work in fast food. edit: This is as good an excuse as any to get fit and start eating home cooked meals I guess! Make everyone else on the fuckin planet suck at making food from a list of ingredients and I'll get good at it instead! CJacobs has a new favorite as of 23:45 on Oct 31, 2021 |

You and everyone else should stop eating at any fast food place forever anyway, though. The labor shortage and supply chain issues are going to get worse for a very long time. Most fast food as we know it is probably going to go away or vastly change in price, choices, and experience. And since absolutely none of those huge fast food corps are going to start making sure people are paid what they're worth and treated like human beings that deserve respect, that's fine. It's a broken system that needs to die. No one should have to do those jobs with the way they're currently treated. Also cooking is way more fun than getting grumpy in a drive thru pretty much every time.

It's actually not my job to get the food I order correct, it's theirs edit: But I get what you mean though. I live in a college town and because it's the start of the semester and 1/3 the class hasn't dropped yet the lines get quite long and untenable. When it's only you and the person who is running the restaurant though by comparison it is really lame for them to get it wrong twice in a row. There wasn't even someone else to give coffee to the second time it was the same order from before CJacobs has a new favorite as of 07:26 on Nov 1, 2021 |
