I have a colleague who kept bragging about never being sick, who has now gotten sick multiple times this winter. When I offhandedly commented 'oh, you're still sick? alright' to him after asking if he was at the office, he replied back 'I'm not sick, I'm just contagious.' And christ almighty you thin skinned petty loving idiot. I already knew he was one of those 'I cannot admit any fault to my character' people, but loving hell. I dunno why it annoys me as much as it does. " I'm not sick (because I feel that reflects poorly on me, by my own arbitrary standards), I'm just ... notsick-sick. " (Yes he's also one of those 'do we really need vaccines? I haven't gotten sick lately' idiots.) I'd argue that 'recovering from symptoms, but still potentially contagious' solidly fits under the sick umbrella. You're sick until you're not anymore.

Because either they're an idiot, and wouldn't be able to handle driving in New York, or they're an rear end in a top hat, and wouldn't dare playing stupid games where there might be a chance of consequences.

Ravel's Bolero. It's OK for the first five minutes or so, but it's just the same sequence repeated over and over and over and over again.

Ravel posted:“I am particularly desirous there should be no misunderstanding about this work. It constitutes an experiment in a very special and limited direction and should not be suspected of aiming at achieving other or more than it actually does.” I had always been told he had done it as a joke, or some commentary on the banality of successful music. credburn has a new favorite as of 18:00 on Mar 23, 2023 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgtEKTfAPLQ There's a short film about one of the percussionists in Bolero and how boring it must be for them. It's pretty funny (the hardcoded subs are the director's comments).

Pet peeve: People who don't know what they're doing when doing something thousands of people do a day and a person has to deal with said thousand people. In this case, I recently went on a trip to Vegas. I very rarely fly, and when it came time to check my luggage, I forgot that they just needed my ID. Everyone in front of me did this with no issue, then my dumbass shows up, and he stares and me, holding his hand out. And I say, "Oh, um, wait -- do you need to scan my ticket?" Dude is super annoyed and says, "Are you checking in your luggage?" "Um, yes. I mean, unless I don't have to." Dude is getting even more annoyed. "If you're checking in your luggage, you do it here." "Great! Um, but... wait, so, do you need... my ticket?" Incredibly condescendingly. "No, I just need your ID." He then asked me for my debit card and charged me a fee even though actually the guy who bought the tickets is in like some special club where those fees are omitted. Anyway, that dude was kind of a dick, but I get it. I am a cashier. Know what you're supposed to do before holding up the line because you're a dumbass and the employee is a passive aggressive dick. Everyone loses.

Might be a bit more than a pet peeve, but: when people misspell "foreign" words (especially names) for a joke. Ha, funny language, not like the serious American one. I've no problem with misspeling words in one's own language, since I guess they're "mine"/"yours" to use? For an example on the weight of the problem, I've seen many posts misspeling the "Ghost of Tsushima" game, like "Sushighost" or something. I don't know why, but it bothers me. M. Shyamalan's name is another obvious example of a "funny" name to misspel.

People do this all the time where I live & I absolutely hate it. Speeding up to prevent merging, tailgating, assholes taking wide swings into traffic without looking...it's infuriating. By the same token, I say "gently caress it" & will absolutely push my way in when some rear end in a top hat tries to block me, because (A) I have a dashcam & (B) they can eat poo poo, I know they're too afraid to hit my old beater especially when their car looks spotless/pristine. I'll gladly use their vanity & bullshit against them.

My ma does that as well. But she'll refer to everyone via some nickname or by also naming somebody they're related to, usually someone I don't know either. She'll call me and tell me that someone just died and I'll ask who that is and she'll give me a long list of nicknames and if that doesn't ring a bell maybe mention that I met this person 15 years ago at some family functions and if I interrogate her long enough I'll find out that this person's grandmother was my great-grandmothers aunt by marriage or something like that.

Linus from Linus Tech Tips. I don't really have a reason why; I just don't really like him and I'm sick of seeing him and hearing about him. Anthony and the other guys who work for LTT are fine in my book, but I'd rather never see Linus' face in my Youtube recommends again.

Idk, loving nobody except family pronounces either me or my wife's name correctly, and on top of that we made the accursed mistake of naming one of our daughters Анастасия. It's after a relative, but nope, everybody thinks it's from the long-dead princess/off-brand disney cartoon. Said cartoon includes calling her "Anya." People will try to be nice by stopping, clearing their throats, apologizing, and terribly mispronouncing all of our names. That poo poo is insulting. The diminutive of Анастасия is loving Nastya. Anya is from a different name. That is how we refer to her ourselves, and for reals, we've all got english names we go by for everyone who isn't us. Please refer to us as Tevye the Dancing Jew from that One Musical and Sophie Badguyska, Butcher of Kiev, if you like rather than butchering our names "to be polite."

I don't know why it bothers me so much, but I see little comments all the time on, say, Reddit/Instagram/Imgur posts that include a burger that say: "Big burgers should be WIDER, not TALLER!" But..it doesn't work like that! If the burger is big primarily because it's a tall patty of meat? Then yeah, sure, you could flatten it out for a wider burger if you were less concerned about a doneness level below medium well. But most big burgers are tall because of TOPPINGS. If I want lettuce, onion, tomato, pickle, a drizzle of mayo, a friend egg, and maybe even a fuckin' onion ring on there...I'm going to want those things across the whole burger, so making the patty wider doesn't really help that much. Is it annoying that it might fall apart? Yes, but I know that going in. That's on me. If you don't want a big, TALL, burger, it's on YOU to not order it with so many things.

This is very specific to my day, but didn't seem like it justified going into the lovely day thread, so y'all get it. When I have had an appointment set up for 2 weeks and then I go in to said appointment and the systems to actually do anything are all down (not their phones or the check-in computers, but the ability to actually get any work done is a no-go) and they don't let you know that in advance. Just give me a call or text dammit, you clearly have my number since you texted to remind me about the appointment yesterday

I don't like tall burgers because I like the bread, meat, etc. to be mixed when I bite into it, not layered like a multi-course fancy meal.

There used to be a franchise in Melbourne called Burger Edge that had the best constructed burgers I've ever seen. At most, there would be some sauce leakage, but all the toppings stayed inside the burger so you could eat it with one hand. If you can't eat it with one hand while playing cards, it shouldn't be legal to call it a burger, or for that matter, a sandwich. Find another name for your portable mess. It's my Obviously we'd need some kind of scroll or seal or whatnot to confirm authenticity, but we could figure that out later.

On the subject of burgers: does anyone even like brioche? It's loving disgusting. And yet it's almost impossible to find a burger that uses normal bread any more. I'd even eat the garbage the fast food chains use ahead of brioche, if only their burgers weren't terrible for a dozen other reasons. Oh, and anyone who makes a big point of "it's not brioche, it's a milk bun" is even worse, because you know the difference is imperceptible. Even the fish and chip shop I went to recently had loving brioche burgers! It's a plague.

Killingyouguy! posted:I'm required to be at this all hands for work and they're making us do icebreaker games. Stop doing icebreaker games. Noone likes them Ugh yeah. A lot of people had to travel in in the morning, had a loong rear end day of group planning and etc, everyone was ready to leave, poo poo finally wrapped up. Then as people were about to leave, one of the Agile Coaches decided that this was time to have The Ice Breaker, as described in The Program and god as her witness was she going to power through with it. Just admit that you forgot to do it at the start, nobody is going to care that you forgot one of The Steps in The Program. (But then again, these Agile coaches are 100% about sticking to idealized rules and patronizing platitudes that don't actually apply to reality. So it was pretty fitting on the whole.)
