There is this dude who is like always at the public pool swimming laps. As a dumb goon I am mostly annoyed by his constantly passing back and forth in my vision. But also he’s really inconsiderate. Like will just plow into little kids in floaties and swim on at a pool that’s everyone-but-him kids and families trying to cool off in hell summer. My dude you ain’t Michael Phelps, you’re a lobster shaded middle aged guy, and besides me and you both are better off if you spring the five bucks for a membership at the Y

My whole family works in airports and planes, AMA about what happens when you say “sir the chin only wear does not constitute masking according to airline and CDC policy” and “the constitution does not guarantee your right to cough in my eyes, madam” Jk don’t ask me, the answer is you get multiple covid bouts during pregnancy and cancer and the CDC cancelled all the rules anyway  E: As A Gamer, I’m annoyed when people defend rapidly rising prices with “it’s x dollars per hour of entertainment” Yes true, but here’s thing, quality of hours matter too. That 25 bucks to get me a couple new characters or whatever could buy us a food truck feast and a sunset over the river, or maybe two hours at the aquarium taking photos of my kids being fascinated at all the incredible sea creatures. That’s worth more than the 20 hours a new dlc will bring me. And yes I get that devs and artists deserve their fair share but lmao no it is not the consumer end price that is preventing studios from treating them fairly Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 17:44 on Aug 21, 2023 |

My cats do not wake me up to be fed in the morning. They have learned to wait until I get up to start asking. Both of my cats must sit before they get wet food and now do it without prompting. My older cat asks for attention my gently tapping you with her paw. All of this has happened due to training. You can absolutely train any animal, people are just lazy.

You'll probably feel like it'll take too long to unlock more weapons for the first run or three, but once you start getting how the powerups work together you'll be hitting 30+ in no time. I've only got 4 or so 20+ runs under my belt because I've barely played it and that's enough to unlock four or so weapons.

I don't know how anyone manages to get photos of their pets (or other animals they see) doing cute or funny things. Any time I've ever tried, the few seconds it takes me to pick up my phone and open the camera is all it takes for the animal to move or stop doing whatever they were doing.

God, why are so many of these new hires so weirdly noisy? A new guy joined our team a few weeks ago. He'll go grab a cup of cocoa, come back winded: Start inhaling, sluuuuuuuuurrp, sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And he'll do the entire thing in one session, without pause. (Why not let it sit for a while if it's so hot you're slurping at it like a toddler?) He went through 3 cups while I was in the office after lunch, yesterday. (Guy, you're going to put on a ton of weight if you're drinking over a liter of hot cocoa a day.)

ONE MORE MOM PEEVE: we speak english french russian and kazakh in an eclectic mix for no real reason, te just whatever comes out. and my mom assumes every time we say anything in the latter two it’s some insult. She thinks my wife hates her when it’s like she said she was going to the bathroom before leaving and do I want blackened or fried tonight cuz she wants to hit up the poboy shop. Just chill. The only time we use russian and kazakh to insult people is when they’re being annoying at the grocery store E: also does anyone actually like artificial lawn landscaping nearly enough to tolerate the endless drone of diesel power tools Let the weeds grow Shut up Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 23:03 on Aug 23, 2023 |

drat, the concept of insulting people at the grocery store in Kazakh almost makes me want to reinstall Duolingo, except 1) none of my friends know how to speak Kazakh so it wouldn't even matter, and 2) Duolingo doesn't offer Kazakh anyway. Still, that sounds cool though.

Actually that reminds me of another peeve which is when people go the other tak and act like I’m a linguistic genius when like no I grew up franglais and you pick up other languages fast when people use them at you. I’m stupid as gently caress, you could do it to in my shoes. Blyat, oy sheshesin segey! There’s a fun swear to say when people block the aisle contemplating different brands of beans or whatever.

Unnecessary censorship in music. A few examples: "Money it's a hit/don't give me that do goody good [censored]" "And are you thinking of me when you [censored] her?" "It's a [censored] girl, but it's gone too far/'cause you know it don't matter anyway..." Look, I'm 39 years old. I'm very familiar with the words 'bullshit', 'gently caress' and 'bitch' and use them regularly. Stop trying to be my nanny and stop censoring the lyrics.

Less ball and chain more I’m sad when she ain’t around. And yet, it seems to be like 99% of boomer humor. Being in my 30s, I don't fully understand the husband/wife dynamic of the boomer era, but judging by their "take my wife, please!" humor, their marriages seem much more culturally obligatory & therefore more likely to be acrimonious. That said, it's the 21st century now though, have we really not moved on yet? Anyway, the song "Knock You Down" by Keri Hilson ft. other people, which came out in 2009, has the line quote:I never thought I'd hear myself say I mean, this is a mild example compared to what you're saying, but it's like, really? Why not? Did you think you were just doomed to only date people whose company you didn't enjoy? Imho even the whole idea/joke that women talk too much is an indicator that girlfriends are meant only to be tolerated, and despite the fact that "friend" is in the title and everything, there is no friendship. Nothing in common that would make one interested in what she has to say, no camaraderie to make one care, just dealing with yammering for the sake of sexual rewards and/or status.
