Being polite and not screaming at people is like a lost concept to 1/4 of everyone that orders food. It is baffling.

Anyway, I have a peeve that I get peeved about occasionally. Back in September 2018, I was getting ready to go grocery shopping when I heard a cat crying outside my apartment. I opened the door, and he just strolled in like he belonged there. I asked around my hallway, but no one was missing a cat. This cat was clearly healthy and clean and well cared for, so I knew he belonged to someone. I took him to the vet and checked him for a chip, no dice. I made fliers, and took them to the local shelters, vets offices, and the nearby apartments all on a very rainy day. On the 4th day, I finally get a call (yes I made them send me a picture to verify). Dude lived in the next building over. I got a thank you and that was it. Not that I wanted a reward, but he just didn't seem that grateful, especially since I expended a whole lot more time and effort to find the owners than the owners did to find their cat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj1h3iPJ5Jk

Dip Viscous posted:"You're impossible to get ahold of! Every time I call I just get a recording saying to leave a message!" Or when they do leave a message, it's something vague with no detail, like "hey call me back thanks". Cool, so you want my help but don't want to tell me what you need help with, that's a super solid way to get me to ignore you. Holiday related peeve: STOP GETTING CHRISTMAS IN MY loving HALLOWEEN. I went to a local pumpkin farm & they had a couple small stages with music, but it was people singing Disney songs from Frozen 1 & 2. Just...NO. Go the gently caress away. I've avoided listening to or watching Frozen garbage since the first movie came out, everything about it is annoying as hell. Halloween needs a rule where there's NO Christmas-theme bullshit, I'm here for spooky, scary, cool things, not people singing overplayed Disney songs off-key that give me a loving headache.

As someone who has had to watch the Frozen movies several hundred times, I can confirm that they are NOT in any way Christmas films. What they are, however, is a marketers dream and cast iron guarantee that you will get little girls to apeshit and want to buy whatever it is you're selling.

If so you'll understand why my sister and father thought it was hilarious that I gave her an 040th birthday card one year and then 0x21st birthday card the next year but my mother was completely baffled.

Whenever a customer wants me to repeat what I said over the phone, but instead of saying "What was that?" or "Sorry?" they just go "MA'AM!?" in a tone that sounds like they urgently want to tell me something/yell at me some more (because call center). So I reflexively say "Yes?", confusing them as well, and we both just sit there for a few seconds until I remember what they mean. The pet peeve is that I still can't process it right away.

Brawnfire posted:Oh, also she responds to texts with "mmk"  My new peeve is my Android phone's storage filling up and what I suspect is a big reason for it. I have 64GB onboard space (which used to be a lot) and the biggest MicroSD card my phone supports; I am scrupulous about moving apps and setting storage to my SD card whenever I can, and I keep all my media there. (Despite rumors about using the SD card as a seamless virtual extension of the onboard space, I can find no way to make this happen.) I've used Hangouts ever since it was available for Android; with Hangouts approaching EOL (no firm date yet given), Google was haranguing me to switch from Hangouts to Chat, so I did, a month or so ago. Now, when you'd take a photo from within Hangouts, it would hand everything over to the native/default camera app, let me do my thing, then switch back to Hangouts to do the actual sending. Chat has its own camera subroutine, so it takes photos without involving the camera app. My camera is set to store all photos and videos on the SD card. There's no option to do this in Chat, so every photo I take within Chat is another ~3.5MB dumped into an obscure directory in my rapidly dwindling onboard storage space. I think I have less than a gig left. The system directories also seem to be taking up way too much space, and I'm not sure what I can do about that.  Assiduously clearing the cache only accomplishes so much. I do have my eye on a new phone (with quadruple the storage space  ), but my S9 is otherwise doing great and serving me well--it even has a new battery. But if I can't fix this storage issue...

I mean, I know a large part of that 64GB is system files and apps/app data that can't be moved to the SD card, but seems odd to blame the Chat camera with its piddly 3.5MB pictures for the loss of space. Like, let's say of that 64GB you have only a small 5GB of free space you can work with after system files and apps....It would take almost 1,500 pictures at ~3.5MB each to hit 5GB...how many pictures you taking just from within the chat app, and why aren't you deleting them? My guess is something else is eating up that space faster than the chat camera. I would download a space analyzing utility to see what really is using that space. You say "S9" so I assume that's Samsung? I would bet money it's some weird Samsung app/utility that's downloading weird updates or caching something.

I am absolutely convinced Samsung started hiding magical 1gb pixels in invisible folders to get me to upgrade my S9, and I bet they're doing it to you too. No I don't understand anything about the technology, but I'm right.

My pixel 3a was getting on me about space, and it turned out I hadn't deleted podcasts I had listened to in a long while. Of course the cleaning feature doesn't bother to alert me to those files.

I don't have any third party apps installed on my phone apart from an alternative camera that I like and one for my bank, I don't store any photos or videos on it longer than it takes me to get home and dump them to my PC, I don't think I've ever opened a web browser even once, but my 64 GB still hovers around 70% full.

Hey idiots, don't hand out bubble gum on Halloween to children who are clearly too young to not know the difference between it and regular candy. My 3 year old niece nearly choked on a piece of Hubba-Bubba but luckily my dad, who was a first responder for decades, knew what to do. Then we had to try to explain why I, her cool and awesome uncle, was taking things out of her bag of "tweats". Smarten up.

I hate security questions where the answer is something that could potentially change over time. “What brand of shampoo do you use?” Probably not the same one forever! “What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?” That isn’t likely to change, but maybe it will. “What’s your favorite book/game/tv show, who’s your favorite actor/author, etc” ok well what if you find new favorites or one of them gets brainworms. Also the weirdest one: “What’s your favorite smell?” these were all from a bank. edit: also they made me pick 5 of them, the fuckers

My peeve is companies requiring webcams to be on. If I'm working from home, I'm not going to be in work clothes. Plus my home desk sucks for work - my monitor is pretty much as wide as the desk itself, so even opening my laptop to put the cam on would require shoving off my massive pile of notes or dragging over a coffee tableto move the laptop to, which I'm not going to do. Seeing my face doesn't help the work get done any faster.
