Killingyouguy! posted:But I mean, even if your arms are full of poo poo don't you need to put your keys in your hand to open the door? And then they go from your hand to on the hook or dish or whatever right beside the door, this seems like one smooth action to me Not if someone inside unlocked the door for you. Then they stay right in the pocket of whatever jacket I happen to have on, and may or may not get tossed into my purse when I take it off (which will then also possibly be moved by my partner). Designated areas just don't happen in my house. Also yes, leaving keys in the door has happened. My mom used to do it too -- once overnight, which was real fun to discover in the morning.

Reaaally depends how late we are talking here. 15min? Mostly fine, depending on meeting location, can also be unexcused. 15-30min be forever known as "that" person, hopefully texts a sorry will be late message. 30-60min be "that" person that also gets earlier meeting times than everyone else to steer them to the right meeting time. More than 60min? How are people still associating still with your late rear end? Edit: This is for regular lateness, not a one off.

People get madder when you just say you don't want to go to the thing. So just be late a few times and eventually the invites stop coming with nobody getting actually mad.

One of my cats figured out how to open the closet and now they keep sleeping in there instead of the bed or couch or the many luxury cat accommodations with window views provided. Shedding all over everything, having no respect, meowing loudly if you accidentally shut them in after getting dressed. Why are cats. STOOOOPpp doing that.

And of you comedy wizards name your pet "Peeve"? I'm getting irrationally irritated by this Hawaiian Airlines ad where an overly excited lady talks about Hawaiian Airlines (pronouncing it like ho-wahy-ann) and the great rates to take you to Hawai`i (pronounced Ha-VAI-'ee). It feels like it's a build up to a joke, but no.

FFT posted:Traditionally, "Hawai'i" is pronounced with a "v" sound and "Hawaiian", as a construction in English, is not. Yeah, I mean, I understand that. It's just that it's weird since the brand is not pronounced that way, but the place is, and having the same word appear in the ad pronounced two ways feels like a meta joke.

Does Android not have a way of blocking mass texts? I can block spam text, and spam numbers, but if someone sends me and 400 other people spam, the option suddenly vanishes unless I type in the number manually into it. Which itself is loving annoying because I can't just copy the number, I have to type it in. And I can't type it anywhere without changing views, so I actually have to write the number down like some caveman, then go back to the phone, navigate around until I find the add-to-blocked-numbers or whatever, and type it in. It's a thirty second job that should be instant. I need to change my number. I've had it for seven years and I've been getting texts and calls for "Nikki" since day one, but it's to the point where I can't even access my voicemail because it fills up so fast. According to my phone log there have been 17 SCAM LIKELY or obviously spam calls and SIXTY spam texts since... yep, four hours ago. Admittedly, almost 90% of spam texts and calls I get happen between 6 AM and noon.

The term 'bio break'. It's too evocative! 'Step away for a minute' was a perfectly fine euphemism but now everyone at work is basically announcing 'BRB IT'S PISSIN TIME'

I was reading an article and saw a coloured in link, didn't recognise the name and them went "oh gently caress of course" when I clicked on it. The two topics were seemingly unrelated. I was reading about Bond films today and the Russian military previously.

My pet peeve is that biotin apparently has very little clinical research to back up the various claims beauty products use to sell the stuff; It's ubiquitous in the market because it "sounds" good/people mistake the real-time hair or nail growth they've always had (possibly supplemented with improved grooming habits) for actual results Apparently it's great for horses though so maybe it's like an ivermectin situation ??

Re: the last two pages — some of you don’t have ADHD and it shows.  But seriously, as someone with ADHD, I can tell you that as irritating as you may find us with our perpetual lateness, losing things, bad memory, etc…..you at least get a break from us whenever we’re not around. We never get a break, because it’s a neurological disorder, so we have to deal with this poo poo 24/7/365. Medication helps (when you can find one that works for you) but doesn’t perfectly control every symptom and makes some things worse (like multi-tasking). My ADHD-related pet peeve: I’m playing Stardew Valley, and the ADHD comes out even in this fictional microcosm. I’m always wasting time running around my farm because I forgot to bring something with me or to check on [x thing] before doing [y thing], or I get so lost in a task I forget to make it to a festival or to give an NPC a birthday gift before they go to bed. Etc. So I have to schedule my day in the game like I do IRL: I have a farm chore routine I don’t deviate from, and I have to have chests sitting all over the place with extra supplies, so I don’t have to run all around the map because I forgot something. I even keep a notebook on my desk where I write out to-do lists for the game with daily and long-term goals, shopping and materials lists, and the important dates in each month. Typing all this out makes me wonder why I find this game fun. And I STILL forget things, lose track of time, blow money on impulse purchases, etc., just like IRL. ADHD never quits, man.

It is a pet peeve of mine when I go to the gif thread and find that the last like twenty gifs are just the same regurgitated gifs my friends I don't like on Facebook post the moment they appear on whatever other Facebook meme group they follow. Also: added music in gifs. A gif that stands on its own seems just so dumb when you throw on a zany track over it. Let me tell you I got more gif opinions To contribute to ADHD hate: I have ADD (technically diagnosed as some unwieldy thing like 'attention deficit disorder inattentive type', I think) and it's a real fuckin constant weight to drag around. I don't really mind when people make jokes about things I suffer from, but the 'oh lol i have such add!' starts to really get old. credburn has a new favorite as of 22:33 on Apr 10, 2022 |

Yeah, I didn't want to say ADHD because (1) I haven't been actually diagnosed yet, it's just very strongly suspected by my doctor and (2) another pet peeve of mine is how it's almost become a buzzword or shorthand for just being scatterbrained, and I didn't want to give off that impression. But it is probably the source of at least some of my issues. And it does suck so much to deal with, and to know that to an outside observer you might just look like a careless slob even when you're trying your best to keep things together. It gets old and I may have become overly defensive about it, so apologies if I started a derail or something.
