people be putting things into the urinal like their used chewing gum or small pieces of trash. it is a urinal it will not flush it has a tiny drain and the drain is covered with one of those rubber scent absorber target things. if you put your gum in the urinal it stays in the urinal and a human being has to use their human hands to clean the urinal and remove your gum that has been pissed on all day. it has been occurring regularly in both our public restrooms at work and i sincerely hope the culprit(s) fall into a storm drain

It stayed up there for a few days, which was gratifying (as it meant the cleaners must have seen it and consciously not taken it down). I'm not sure how much effect it had on the disgusting loving slobs themselves, though.

People who contact you on every goddamn communication channel you have (because every separate group of people you interact with seem to use their own app of preference) at random. It's so obnoxious to get messages from someone spread out over sms, whatsapp, and facebook messenger. (I also hate having to have/use facebook just because a couple people insist on being in group chats but whine if anyone suggests using anything else.) Also didn't facebook messenger have a 'mute this chat for 5-15-60+ minutes' feature before? I don't get why notification cooldown isn't a standard thing system wide in android. Your phone angrily beeping and hollering because 5 idiots can't figure out how to split a bill is just obnoxious. My phone used to have it via cyanogenmod around 2014 ey, so it's perplexing that it's still not present in mainline android, even though they've done so much work with tweaking notifications otherwise.

Also, the reverse of this: people who are accessible by different messaging services at different times of the day and you're just expected to guess which one will work right now. If you get it wrong you may never get a response Bonus points if they back it up with 'you're not entitled to 24/7 contact with me' bitch sometimes things are urgent!

Sometimes I get people apologizing in person for having never responded to a message on social media, which is surreal. I'm like, you thought about it enough to bring it up but never to, like, flash some characters over the screen? Aight. Anyhow, I usually just make it seem like at the time I had something they would have liked. But I just ate/drank/spent the rest myself. It's alright. What was it? Nah, don't worry about it now. That's the past.

Yeah, I'm assuming this is a work colleague whose contact methods are different during and outside of work hours. For example, in my case, during work hours I can be reached by colleagues by the various messaging systems my workplace uses, and outside of work hours I can be reached by colleagues by waiting until the next work day and using those various messaging systems.

Now that I'm done with Christmas shopping: Retailers who build websites that make it a pain in the rear end to figure out if an item is available in stores or not. I am specifically looking for reasons to give you money! If you're just going to be Amazon but more steps then I'm giving my money to Amazon instead and neither of us is really thrilled about this situation.

My kid's school said something about a special holiday song so I came to their morning briefing expecting a cute holiday song by the kids. Next thing I know all the faculty got up and started singing some goddamn song. I ask my wife if the kids are next and no, turns out this is the song. I almost loving walked out, what a bait and switch.

My peeve is Hanukkah. It's only known because it's our bold stronghold against the oncoming Christmas hordes. But it's also far and away my favourite holiday and dare I say, the only fun holiday us jews get. I love candles and presents. gently caress Hanukkah for giving me these mixed feelings.

Commercials that ruin music I like because now they're associated with that brand. The best example is the beer brand using "Ecstasy of Gold" from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, but there's also Ozempic and "It's Magic" by Pilot.

Those were the ones with the catchphrases, and the only ones that ever showed EVERY SINGLE AFTERNOON as an edited-for-television afternoon movie on TBS or TNT or one of those channels

I hate when you listen to an album for the first time, and there's a song on it which you know from SOMEWHERE... but you just don't know where. Its on a soundtrack or a play list you're familiar with, but that's all you know. Then inevitably you find out it was on a Fifa soundtrack from eight years ago.

Yeah we get plenty of fun holidays! At least in my household Pesach is super fun, it's entirely good natured arguments about which bits to read or leave out and laughing about being "brought forth from the house of bondage" Chanukah is boring and for kids

The 99 in Camel 99s means nothing significant, and I don't know who Marlboro 100 is but one must assume these are Marlboro 100's cigarettes. (my pet peeve is how apostrophes are just thrown around everywhere and whether or not its plural or possessive is kind of subjective) Also: its. What a loving dumb word. It's normal to add apostrophes to things and pretend that that makes it a plural, but it's rare when you omit an apostrophe to make it possessive. You know why its doesn't get an apostrophe? Because it's already existed as a popular contraction. What the gently caress, English language, you're just like, well maybe this once we'll just abandon one of the only fairly consistent grammatical functions when you have homophones and homonyms, these things built into the language specifically to address issues like this.

The apostrophe isn't supposed to be in 100s. You only* add apostrophes to numbers if it's a possessive, aka "The 1980's** influence on rock music was..." *loads of people don't follow this rule and prescriptivism is dumb so **"Shouldn't it be "1980s'?" Yeah one would think? Idfk.
