Get a nice undercarriage wash to clear away all the salt and prevent your important vulnerable car bits from rusting through. Ask me how I know Yes that's a fair point but also location specific. Where I'm from in Washington State the weather rarely gets bad enough to need to salt the roads for instance.

Signal let's you turn it off if you want and I lived that way for a while but.... I like it now. It gives me extra dopamine to anticipate a message. More time spent knowing someone is paying attention to me. My brain has been broken

Car Washes are at least a bit fun, you get to sit in the car as you watch a big machine do stuff from the inside. That scratches a certain itch, albeit a childish one.

Every now and then I'll go through with my kids just for that reason alone. Kills five minutes, and they talk about it for weeks afterwards. Also I live in salt city, united states of road salt

I was at a karaoke bar with a friend of a friend who heard I'd been in Grease in highschool and INSISTED we do Summer Nights together. Which, I was all for, except she apparently didn't know anything about the song except it was from Grease and it was a duet... Sang the wrong notes, started in on the wrong part, etc. Dreadful. But we were pretty drunk, so fun anyhow

Back when I was definitely gay not bi and my wife was my friend, we did A Whole New World from Disney Aladdin karaoke and she really through me off by belting out the Jasmine parts in the russian dub version. That's not a pet peeve I'm just bragging about being married to a good singer.

I've wondered if that's one of the things where the cashier is required to follow some dumb mandated script but also required to ignore what the customer says. *Buys single item at grocery store* "Would you like a receipt?" "No, thanks.' *Receives receipt* I assure you, no matter how bad things get, I will not return this package of turkey salami.

I have seen at least a couple stores/fast food joints near me that have little signs like, "If you don't get a receipt, let a manger know and your meal is FREE!" or something like that, so yeah, just an over abundance of corporate training.

It's becoming normal for checkouts to be automated in the UK and the machine gives you a choice of receipt or not, corporate people have realised that everyone hits the no button so human check outs are now offering the same choice. My pet peeve is automatic checkouts asking you if you want to round up and donate money to a charity every single time. No, gently caress off, I'm not buying 29p economy washing up liquid because I've got 71p to give to loving charity am I? Why do you want to make me feel worse about being poor? What makes this absolute pisstaking is that your purchase is tied into a loyalty card, if someone hits no 3 times then the machine can be programmed to gently caress off asking.

I get receipts most times I shop, but electronically right on my phone. Anyhow, I get any store just shoving receipts out because it's incredible how whiny some customers will be when they don't get them, and it's usually a bunch of hassle re-printing an older receipt (if the system is even capable of it.) When I worked in retail there was a short while where the company decided that receipts shouldn't be printed automatically, and we should only give them if asked by the customer. Which honestly seems like a reasonable approach. What happened is that most people were perfectly fine with it, a couple asked for them... And some would storm in furious a couple hours later demanding to ask why I hadn't printed a receipt for them. (God forbid you just ask about it politely.)

I got a second job at a Chipotle and now my coffee mug constantly smells like limes and avocado no matter how much I clean it, and I hate it, and then hate it more because I do not hate lime or avocado, they are both very good, just not when combined with coffee

I'm taking some online training, and it will occasionally just kick me out even though I'm actively clicking next slide and answering quiz questions and what not. It just fuckin logged me out even though it was still playing a slide I had just hit next to see. And it didn't properly save my progress and set me back like 35 slides in this module gently caress my liiiiife

Found myself with a need to have FB Messenger on my phone but I'm never going to install anything from Facebook on my phone. Used to use Disa, now the 2FA says to use the 6-digit 2FA as the password after the initial login attempt -- doesn't work even after I approve the "browser" Tried Trillian, it just fails outright. Even turning 2FA off entirely doesn't work I've told Facebook so many times now "this was me" after it's given me poo poo about it, and it does not work

I'm annoyed by people who are judgey about air conditioning. "It's hot in Vietnam too and they don't need climate control beyond a fan, you just live in a poo poo house and are too sensitive. I don't even have a fan and it's nearly 28!" Yeah, in Vietnam the average yearly temperature variant is 33 at the hottest days to 20 at the coldest nights. Here it's already 33 and that's projected to be low point for the week. That's normal, with coldest average nights in winter dropping to 8 and freezing not being uncommon. And that's on a humid river coastline. Where my mom lives it's 41 and it freezes for winter every year. Climate control is required to make people not die in inland places. Being miserable in a lovely old apartment as seniors die of heat stroke each summer in larger numbers is just stupid. I don't really care how great brick and marble were for making apartments comfy in 1711 in Toulouse, Toulouse, everyone knows that's no longer the climate we live in. e: I checked, the hottest day of my time in Toulouse was 36 and that was far and away the hottest day of summer, like everyone was miserable and people died. Highest ever 40. That isn't a peeve but it does make me feel smug at my toulosaine pal cuz drat, I'm digging having a lovely old building in a hot swamp with air conditioning. Highest temp ever here 45

We could significantly lessen our dependence on AC, by using smarter building techniques and vernacular architecture, which is adapted and optimized for local conditions. Today we seem to insist on the same cookie cutter designs built for one climate, no matter where it is being built. Not to mention the giant glass monoliths that pass for office buildings. Completely eliminating AC use is a utopia, but we can absolutely make a lot better use of it.

Companies aren't being altruistic anyway, they get the tax write-off of your aggregate donations. Since I already donate to my chosen cause on my own and I know this detail, I feel great about saying no to cashiers and stuff. Sure hope getting those donations isn't connected to their performance reviews I guess.

Maybe it would be eliminated in this utopia, but my experience living for a few years without AC was hell for most of the year. I lived in a part of Germany where temperatures would approach or exceed 100 freedom units. Even with all the curtains drawn and multiple fans pointed at me it was like constantly being in that rhino from ace ventura when nature calls. Sleep was miserable. I'm used to sleeping with temperatures closer to 65-66 (68 if i'm trying to save money), not 80. Those few weeks a year when it went below freezing and I could actually be cold and could actually have a sheet on my bed without it feeling like a furnace were so nice. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 00:40 on Jun 13, 2022 |
