Arrath posted:Motherfuckers that still haven't figured out they should mute themselves when joining a zoom/teams/conference call. I have some colleagues who join up together and usually grab one of the meeting rooms when it's time for a call so that they can avoid that background noise. Of course, they're too lazy to use any of the big mute/unmute buttons in the room, so it's always a question of 'when is there going to start coming feedback that they won't notice or react to?'. It's very tedious going into a meeting and then yet loving again getting an echo of your voice played back while you're trying to go through something because they can't be bothered to mute themselves when they're not talking. I can understand it being annoying if there's a lot of back and forth, but usually when the feedback kicks in they're sitting there in complete silence.

Slammed doors. STOP IT. Were you born in a loving barn? Your slammed door is making everyone's room shake, rear end in a top hat!

My wife never turns the door handle as she shuts the door just drags it shut, so literally every single time she ever closes a door it's like a little mini-slam. She is not sympathetic when I bring this up.

A co-worker of mine does the same, but also the opposite. He just loving walks into doors and presses the handle down as he's pushing into the door, so there's a slam of him leaning into the door and then whipping it open. (Also he keeps fingerdrumming on his desk.)

A driving thing I never saw until a couple of years ago but now mysteriously see all the time is fucks that pull up to a stop sign, stop, and then just sit there for several minutes and won't move for anything. At first I thought it was people reading maps or something, but I got a good look and they're just staring straight ahead going space cadet.

This was my biggest peeve living in an apartment - was on the first floor with 3 other apartments & a small hallway that had a door dead center. The combo of that door & people coming/going from their places was loud as hell, especially since the door didn't have any mechanism to slow it down. That plus the stomping from the place above me & one of my first floor neighbors slamming the poo poo out of their cabinets every day was maddening.

One that I hate is people who swing public restroom doors open with enough force you’d think they’re trying to get the jump on someone about to attack them behind it.

Snowy posted:I sympathize Same here. Our kitchen door sticks a bit. I know I should just fix it by shimming the frame and/or door hinges, but it's that THAT bad if you turn the handle when closing so there's less friction from the latch catching. But...she won't. She'll close it till it gets to the point where it sticks, then just loving YANK on that thing like she's trying to give it the ol' Trump-Pull-Them-Close-handshake thing. It slams shut, shakes the wall, makes the dog start barking, etc...

Why do I have to go through the effort of turning the handle and make sure I close the door with feather gentleness like I'm trying to sneak out of my parents house at night? It's my home, I'm allowed to make my presence known My turn: we don't have control of the bathroom fans in this apartment, they're stuck on for some kind of heat reclamation thing the building does, so my bf insists every door be closed at all times or it's "too loud". It's white noise! You tune it out after like 3 minutes! Killingyouguy! has a new favorite as of 16:53 on Jul 14, 2023 |

DrBouvenstein posted:I like a good roller coaster, but MAN, amusement parks can be a SLOG. So much waiting in line, in the hot loving sun, overpriced everything. Oh man, best time in an amusement park ever was when a tiny thunderstorm closed all the rides, everyone left, and the entire arcade was switched to free. An hour of Time Crisis later later everything opened back up and the park was so empty I could ride the most popular coaster back to back without getting off.

Not a bathroom, but I got the worst bloody nose I’ve ever had from some rear end in a top hat who did this in elementary school. The rear end in a top hat was a teacher, and he yakked all over the blood that was pooling on the ground.

People saying "Good, now Comic Con can be about comics!" No it can't you twitter dumbfucks. There are like five comic conventions in San Diego that are about comics, you just don't know about them because you don't actually give a poo poo, you just want to score points off "popular thing bad" posts. SDCC became about other poo poo like twenty years ago, and it will still be about most of them (exclusive toys foremost this time). Actual comic shops were priced out of booth space a long rear end time ago, and even if they had somehow predicted this AND dropped the prices this year, they'd still just fill up with t-shirt stores and poo poo. If you want a comic con about comics in SD this year, go to SD Comic Fest. If you want to be a wag about SDCC, maybe suggest it needs a name change.

i'm appending my previous "annoyed at bus people" post to specifically be people who ask about tattoos, also applies to gym people I've got pretty much full sleeves, the right is all Tolkien bullshit, the left is spiraling bible verses and names of loved ones departed in a mix of latin, hebrew, and church slavonic. It all means the world to me and nothing to anyone but a tiny handful of other people. and the bus and the gym are like the two places in my life where it's the me time, no I do not need a spot, go away

The following phrase. "I think (lovely band) was better when (some no talent hack) was the (position in the band)." I swear this is true. Someone told me they liked Van Halen best when David Lee Roth was the singer, but only up until he left the first time. Sammy Hagar was better than David Lee Roth when he came back for the late 90's reunion. Did they even do any original music in the late 90's.

Modern banking is such a poo poo show. I have a HELOC from a credit union that's a different bank then my primary checking account...several times now I've tried to get external transfers from my main checking bank to the CU set up, and they keep failing/getting rejected. I don't know why, but they keep getting flagged for something, even after multiple calls to both banks and being assured that next time it will work. It doesn't. I've tried an auto transfer initiated from the checking account side to the CU...failed. Tried seeing it up from the CU side...failed. Even tried using the the "bill pay" feature in my checking account rather than an official bank transfer to send the CU a check to pay the HELOC...fail. The only consistent way to get money to my CU to pay off my HELOC is to, I poo poo you not...write myself a physical check and mobile deposit it. I'm wondering now if I could try and use Venmo as an in-between? DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 14:13 on Jul 18, 2023 |

DrBouvenstein posted:Modern banking is such a poo poo show. Do your bank and credit union support Zelle transfers? I've found that to be mostly painless for transferring money to my roommate's bank account (and her to mine), and wouldn't murder you with fees like Venmo probably would. Our banking infrastructure is such a loving joke. This sort of thing should be routine and part of the banking system rather than being farmed out to third-party companies, and there's no technical reason why it isn't, just $$$

There is a Zelle option in the Transfers section on the online portal. Tried to sign up, put in my email and then it told me I have no eligible accounts:  Edit: Tried to sign up again thinking maybe if I used my phone # instead of email it would work, and now it's even worse:  I know a LOT of banking systems have VOIP, and I guess Google Voice often "counts" as a VOIP number...but my other number is a Google Fi account, so is that ALSO now getting seen as a VOIP number?

Things my daughter has asked for today: 1.) For me to make a curry and rice soup. 2.) Simon and Garfunkel - 59th Street Bridge Song on loop 3.) Write a book. Just, write one. Now! [Then she wrote a whole book, to show me how easy it was.] Edit: This was meant to go in parenting, not pet peeves. I love these things. Brawnfire has a new favorite as of 01:05 on Jul 20, 2023 |

I'm weird, i was raised to close the toilet lid as it was the compromise between my parents, where the debate was seat up or down: close the lid so no one is happy. Anyway, gf won't ever close the lid. Today she dropped her hair brush into the toilet so I feel vindicated. But I expect she'll continue to leave it up, thus my peeve.
