AS A disability care worker one of my biggest peeves is people with "self diagnosed" anything, because it's deeply unfair and wrong that people, even in countries with socialist heath services, find it so hard to get officially diagnosed. Also that in the year 2022 it has become the norm for every country in the world to lock all help and benefits behind the official diagnosis paperwork, which turns into even more nightmare fuel when you know your area won't even do ADHD/ADD/ASD assessments until a child is 7.

Ugh, pretty much. I wasn’t even officially diagnosed until fairly recently since I didn’t have the insurance/resources to get it done and my mother took any suggestion that I might be struggling as a child as a personal insult to her parenting skills  Anyway I remembered my peeve! Subscription fees to things that used to be or could be a one-time purchase. Like this thing is a medication dispenser which is a good idea and I can see how it would be very helpful but it has a subscription: https://herohealth.com/ Also if you cancel the subscription the dispenser stops working, lmao. If just some features were subscription-only it’d still be dumb but not as bad, but bricking the whole device sucks. Even the Peloton cycle thing still works if you cancel the subscription although you only get a few classes.

How the gently caress does any modern streaming service, streaming its own media in many cases pretty much exclusively for their own platform, have baked-in letterboxing? Seen most recently with Moon Knight, god forbid you want to have a perfectly-sized short and wide window to watch it on, nope, gotta have the letterboxing for some loving reason!

Rabbit Hill posted:Re: the last two pages — some of you don’t have ADHD and it shows. Yeah this is a thing me and my wife have learned over time. She is extremely organized, things in the right place, lists, etc, yet somehow manages to lose keys, wallets, computers, anything, because she was distracted by something else and just left it where she was, despite her having picked the designated location. As it turns out, her being extremely organized is more a self-invented coping mechanism for her (then) undiagnosed adhd, so she only seemed organized outwards because she really isn't on the inside. I just leave things wherever, but since it's on purpose and not because I remembered a thing and immediately switched tasks, i always know where. Both our approaches work really poorly for the other, so that was a fun learning experience.

There’s a new-ish law here that requires apartment complexes over a certain amount of units to use food waste bins. Which is fine except we only have one that’s a size of a recycling or green waste wheelie bin (at least not the smaller trash ones) for a complex of ~110 units. So it fills up pretty fast and people just end up throwing everything in the dumpsters so they don’t have to keep food waste in their houses for several days, which I get. Like please, just give us one or two more bins! Unless there’s somehow another restriction on that too

Pet peeve: When I see someone post an interesting thing and I'm like, oh that's interesting and then I show someone and they're like, "You just saw one of literally tens of thousands of people copying a thing someone else did." "Tell me!" I beg. "Who is the original? Where is the person who created this art?" "Who knows?" they say.

Our city just kinda refuses to pass any kind of garbage collection or recycling laws. Just took out the trash and there's a pack of rotting chicken breasts and what I suspect is a dead cat wrapped in a grocery bag just chilling in the building's garbage bin. It is awful! I almost vomited!quote:WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR TRASH COLLECTION BY THE CITY? 9 units in this building and guess whose landlord does not pay the fee even though it's less than a single month's rent, gently caress it's less than a single week of minimum wage, for a year of garbage pickuppppp. Something something landlords are always scum. Are landlords a pet peeve? I dare say yes, gently caress em all. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 20:35 on Apr 11, 2022 |

Probably because they threw a fit after being told it was an upcharge to add ingredients, I don't know. We don't actually give the refunds, we just send the issue to the people who do. And then get the return callers when they don't deliver enough free poo poo for the customer's liking.

Work-related peeves: I hate inaccurate progress bars. If you have a progress bar that hangs at 30% for ten loving minutes and then instantly fills up, I hate you and hope you step on a Lego. How hard is it to estimate how long something is going to take, and have the progress bar update accordingly? When I go to save a PDF or whatever, I'd like to know if I have long enough to take a piss break before it's done! (I work off a VPN, so saving or copying anything tends to take awhile.) Also, if your program is too dumb to remember which directory I last saved to and makes me navigate through the million sub-folders every loving time, I ALSO HATE YOU. No this isn't a specific peeve I'm dealing with at this very moment prompting me to shitpost while I wait for my poo poo to save, why do you ask?

Non-work peeve, but I really loving hate when people don't believe or trust what you tell them. I'm texting a friend who said they accidentally FaceTimed a whole group at work but hung up before it rang through. Now they're paranoid that someone saw/heard them & are asking me if FT would've connected, because they're at home recovering from surgery in their PJs. Nevermind that nobody called or texted them from the failed FT message, nor did anyone pick up the call at all. Nevermind that I have an IT job where I work with this poo poo daily & have practically known iPhones since they were released. Nope, not loving good enough, "can we do a quick test to make sure?" NO. gently caress OFF. This is my personal time & I already spend way too many hours a day dealing with assholes exactly like you. LISTEN & TRUST ME FOR ONCE, goddamn.

When I ordered a soft case for my Red Ryder from Amazon, and nothing else, it arrived in a box large enough for me to fit entirely inside. All I can guess is someone went "WTF, we're never going to need a box this large for anything, just give it to this rear end in a top hat to get rid of it."

The Mighty Moltres posted:What I ordered from Amazon, and the box it came in: My roommate ordered a stack of things from Amazon last week sometime, and they showed up in a non-sensical stack of boxes and padding. Only one of the 5 boxes was packed appropriately, everything else was just thrown together. Big, heavy object with small, no packing material, tape falling off the box kind of poo poo. Seems like Amazon burned too bright (by running a sweat shop) and has gone entirely to poo poo in the last five years.

Why am I reading backwards text?? Is that intentional? Is there a statement to be made here? Are you trying to make a point about something by posting a picture of -- it doesn't matter what because all I see is backwards text.
