Even worse is when the annoying hold music (played from a cassette player in a wind tunnel) is interrupted every two minutes with an ad, and the noise when it switches to the ad is almost identical to the noise when an actual person picks up.

I'm sure I complained about it here forever ago, but the local (Catholic-owned) medical center's hold music is a 30-second clip of an instrumental of Ave Maria. And it starts right at the beginning, so first you have 25 seconds of repetitive instrumental opening. Then, the actual tune starts as the strings come in! "Aaaave Mari--" That's when it cuts off. About three seconds of silence. Then it repeats. Every 30 seconds.

You'd love this one pizza place near me, they have a mix of "That's What You Get" by Paramore that's nearly a third blasts of static by runtime

FedEx has been sending a package back and forth between different towns in Indiana and Kentucky since July. Its origin and destination are both in Iowa. It's so low value that it's not worth trying to get it straightened out, but HOW??

I'm switching fields (veterinary to aviation) come monday and it feels kinda gross how everyone is congratulating me on "moving up." It's the same me, same lack of a college degree, same pay, similarly bad hours, but one is "girly" but planes are "manly" so I'm better now. New job has health insurance, so congratulate me on that maybe.

I hate when people, but particularly goons, use ellipses in written language, as per the below quote from an old thread I'm catching up on: My college experience was...nontraditional and I wasn't part of the normal college society for...well...a variety of reasons. I think in natural language this doesn't grate so much because someone can clearly almost refer to a taboo or sensitive topic almost by accident and want to gloss over it, but when written something about it just comes across as smug and faux enigmatic. You're posting, so writing like this... well, let's just say... makes you look kinda like a dick.

The Perfect Element posted:I hate when people, but particularly goons, use ellipses in written language, as per the below quote from an old thread I'm catching up on: Edgar Allen Ho posted:Nowadays it's olds who have figured out texting that commit the most ellipses crimes. There's a clear difference between these two styles: the former uses ellipses in the middle of a sentence as a pause for effect. The latter uses them at the end of the sentence, which the writer believes is just how you end a sentence for god-knows-what reason, but the reader interprets as transitioning into an ominous silence. The former is, imo, a perfectly valid way to convey the impression the writer wants to convey (although not the only way; for example, they could use italics and commas to achieve a similar result). The latter is a frequent cause of miscommunication and probably goes beyond being a pet peeve.

Olds use a lot of elippses because they haven't actually written anything since they finished school decades ago so they don't know how

When someone has a username of the form Adjective Noun, like CelticPredator or FreudianSlippers and people shorten it by just saying the adjective instead of the noun, eg. Celtic rather than Predator; Freudian rather than Slippers.

Oh also a real peeve: no matter how interested my 1yo is in what he's doing, he'll stop and come try to gently caress with my mug of coffee until I set it up high. Just stop, dude! I know it's the last thing you haven't been allowed to touch, but believe me you don't wanna

I use the USPS Informed Delivery service to see what's coming to my mailbox today/soon. I can also opt in to receive texts about my packages: delivery updates, ready for pickup notices, and when they're delivered. I checked the "Package Delivered" alert, provided my number, and promptly began getting every alert there is, from LABEL CREATED to PROCESSED THROUGH X/Y/Z FACILITY to DELIVERED. I contacted support to tell them their coding is fucky, that all I want is DELIVERED (you know, the status I checked) and not every drat change along the way. A few useless troubleshooting back-and-forths and now they want my phone number, home address--and the answers to my two security questions. To fix your code? No. "Your information is secure with us, however, if you would prefer to speak to a live agent--" No.

The fact that when you are searching for an image or clicking something on twitter, the default is that it just opens up an equal sized or more often smaller version. I'm clicking on it because I want to see the bigger picture. Why do I have to click on it and then right click and view the image to actually see what is going on in it?

The "help" button in Discord. Both because it's right next to the "inbox" button so I accidentally click it all the time and because it opens a browser tab instead of an in-app popup that you can just hit escape to close.

I know it's the last thing you haven't been allowed to touch, but believe me you don't wanna Something I wrote years ago, when my son was that age. "Things [Imagined Jr] enjoys: cardboard boxes, electric cords, remote controls, straps and shoestrings, tags, the dog, paper, bits of wood, sharp corners, cabinet doors, anything we're currently eating or using. Conspicuously absent from this list: his toys, anything designed for children." Conclusion: babies are cats. This analogy also extends to how we parents ascribe all kinds of personality and significance to their every gesture when it probably isn't there, and think they're much cuter and more interesting than anybody else does. A friend once questioned what all this said about evolution, if human babies are so helpless and suicidal. Then it hit me that the evolutionary pressure was on the parental end: only the parents who paid enough attention to keep their babies from killing themselves got to pass on their genes. A different pet peeve: coworkers who say "Oh wow is it 5 already?" and make no motion to leave when I walk by their desks fully loaded with my keys in my hand on my way out the door at 5 o'clock on the DOT.

When people say poo poo like 'sorry I didn't reply to your message, something went wrong with my phone and I didn't receive it!' I've got a guy doing work work on my house atm who has pulled this more than once already... Like dude, don't make a lovely excuse, just apologise and move on. If you're a self employed builder and your only phone is genuinely incapable of communication then you've got some fuckin problems, but I somehow doubt that's the case.
