I'm not even sure what this falls under, but my office uses Teams for phone poo poo and whatnot. A few weeks ago, Microsoft upgraded to the "new" teams, so IT gave us the option to switch to "new" Teams right away or keep using old Teams for awhile. Eventually we'll have to switch to "new" Teams, so I just switched right away to start getting used to it. Every time Teams boots up, it asks me if I want to keep using the "new" Teams, or if I want to switch back. And there is no option to STOP loving ASKING. EVERY DAY. How much longer do I gotta put up with this nonsense?! I guess this peeve is software not giving me the option of telling it to shut the everloving gently caress up!

Right now I'm trying to politely have a conversation with someone who is being repeatedly wrong about a fact in the comments below something I posted which contains LOTS AND LOTS OF PRIMARY SOURCES EXPLAINING why they're wrong. I wanna be like "dude just read the loving thing you're commenting on or shut up, I'm not writing the whole thing over because your personal memory says otherwise" but I also don't want to be a massive rear end in a top hat but at the same time I'm kind of warming to that option as well. I've got official maps! Dude! Argue with my maps, I DARE you. You can't do it! Even if you can, I've got photographs! I've got loving newspaper articles with LINE ART RENDERINGS Peace y'all

The local craigslist-like gives people 9? days to ship out the thing they sold, before the buyer has the option to cancel the transaction. (When they use the 'ready to ship' option, which means I've got the money locked in, and they get a package-slip automatically generated, ready for use.) And it's just annoyingly long, if I'd known that this person would take days to ship the thing they'd marked as 'ready to ship', then I simply wouldn't have bought it from them. And now I'm just waiting for them to ship it, 2 days after they went 'oh yes sorry 😊 i'll ship it after work today 😊', and it's just tedious. Every other time I've used it, people have shipped stuff within a day (With the small packages you just write a code on them, slap them in the mailbox, and they're shipped the next morning.). If you have a optional service where the entire point is to have quick and simple transactions, why allow sellers to drag their feet for a week and a half before sending? The site used to have a 'seller usually replies within a few hours/a day' metric that was visible on listings, I'd absolutely like a 'seller usually ships same day' thing, so that I could avoid these people.

It's really one of the big banes of there being so few email hosts that people use, and they don't enforce any hamming distance or anything between addresses. I've only run into that issue once in my life though, (Understandable, there are only a bit over a dozen people with my name combination.), because of an error -someone else- did with the email, not them. Social services of all things sent an email to (me) LastnameFirstnameSecondname@mail, instead of LastnameFirstnameSecondname1@mail (them). (I've got periods in mine to format it a bit, but as many goons know, those don't get parsed.) SubNat has a new favorite as of 23:37 on Nov 10, 2023 |

I have a similar one at my job, a lot of people get fooled by third parties into signing up for a particular license through their website instead of ours, which not only means that the customer gets severely overcharged, often paying twice the actual cost, but the third party then hijacks the situation by putting their own email in as the contact email instead of the customers. Not only does the third party often get data wrong on the sign up so we have to fix it, it also means that the customer won't get the reminder to renew it as it goes to the third parties instead, and many times they don't bother to inform the customer, deliberately forcing them to miss the deadline to renew it which means they have to sign up anew (a renewal for an existing license is WAY cheaper). It's got to the point where even if it's not what the customer has called for, I'll check the email to make sure so that I can cut the third party out and get the customer's correct details on the system so they'll not have the problem, and advise them how to avoid it in the future. It just means we get a lot of angry customers who blame us for the situation despite us doing everything we can to get the third parties shut down.

People who complain about their food delivery are the same fuckin people who hold up the line at Taco Bell because their order wasn't 100% correct. Mother fucker you're at Taco Bell, if it's 75% there, then you win, get the gently caress out of the drive through!

It is so alien to me that I don't even know how to explain my perspective to you. If I paid for a particular thing and didn't get it, obviously I'm going to need them to either give me the correct thing or my money back. That money has value to me. The thing I chose to spend it on has value to me. Everything I choose to buy cuts off the opportunity to choose something else.

My high school French teacher literally saved Jacques Chirac from an assassination attempt, so for a while he had his own Wikipedia page. In fun and good humour, a couple buddies and I would occasionally change little things on his article. For example, he had a peculiar way of printing on the whiteboard where iT WAS ALL iN CAPS EXCEPT FOR THE LETTER i, so we'd edit sentences to reflect that idiosyncrasy. Things like that. Well, someone (I'm not suggesting he was monitoring his own Wikipedia page, but like come on) kept banning us from editing. Oh to be young and totally awesome again.

There's a sliding scale here in terms of how big a mistake there is vs. how long it would take to correct but generally speaking if you go to a fast food place seriously caring about what you eat then you should be examining some of your life choices.

There's a sliding scale here in terms of how big a mistake there is vs. how long it would take to correct but generally speaking if you go to a fast food place seriously caring about what you eat then you should be examining some of your life choices. Back in September I donned an orange shirt (that I had to borrow, why the gently caress doesn't Wal-Mart have plain orange t-shirts??) and went with some friends to a local park for Truth And Reconciliation Day. We made a stop at Tim Hortons because one dude in our group hadn't eaten. Now, to say there was a line at the counter would be an understatement. My fellow smokers and I waited outside for half an hour before our friend finally came out, his steak and egg sandwich in hand. Well, lo and behold, the underpaid and most certainly stressed out kitchen staff had forgotten to put the steak on said sandwich. We were running a little late for the drumming we wanted to hear, so the dude held it in his hand for the two hours or so we were there, just to ask for the proper order on our way back. (Another easy 15 minutes, mind you.) I gained a lot of respect for him that day. Man knew what he wanted. He didn't get it. He made sure he did. Rock on, yo.

Tiggum posted:No it isn't. "Fast food" isn't even particularly fast. If you want something right now, you go to one of those kiosks where they have the food already made and ready to go, or a 7-11 or something. If I order something from a KFC or whatever, I specifically want the thing I ordered and am willing to wait for it. I don't expect to wait very long, but it's never the quickest option. It's just an understanding that fast food means you buy cheap food and you probably get what you ask for, but maybe not, but the point is that it's fast so just go go go go go the next person is in line and the lines are blocking the onramp to the highway the holy poopacy posted:Pet peeve: People who turn up their car speakers for phone conversations.

This sounds hilarious. I always get a chuckle when someone's rattling broken rear end car with powerful speakers comes rolling up, just annihilating anyone within a two block radius to have a conversation, and their dumb music cuts out so Siri can tell them to take the next left.

To this day I'm positive it was a front. There is no way the owner could afford the stuff he had based on the arena itself. Anyway, on my second or third day working there, I was told "This is not McDonald's. The customer is not right." And how true it was, indeed.

Owns. Obviously if your food isn’t right and you aren’t a jerk and are nice people will usually often be accommodating. ESP small business restaurants. I’ve had to return food at McDonald’s bc it was just too far from what I wanted. I wanted a big Mac and got a fish fillet lol. But I went back and they gave me the right order without any issue Otherwise idk. I just don’t think I need to drive all the way back because they forgot something small on the burger or forgot to put sauce on it. It’s fine.

Massive peeve: customers don't think retail or food workers are people. Like actually literally, people see a person who works that job and what they see is "The Company has been given human form" and then it doesn't matter how they treat this human being, because they're not a real person they're a corporation. Hand the worker your trash, put your dirty garbage directly into their bare hands while you complain at them - that's not rude because you can only be rude to people, and we've already established that this is a corporation! Flow free with the insults, call them stupid, get mad: they can't take it personally or feel any kind of way about it, because they're a corporation not a human! If they wanted to be treated like real people they'd get real jobs instead of being a corporation. The less you're paid the less human you are and the less you matter at all!

I think some of you just have some weird expectations or a set of standards that are grossly higher than what is normal. Expecting your fast food order to be 100% accurate is silly. Yes, it happens, but it's not common. Tiggum, you're the jerk holding up the fuckin line because your hamburger came with extra pickles instead of no pickles -- that's the cost of convenience. And yes you probably got charged twice-extra for the extra pickles. I've also worked as a fast food worker, a janitor, a short order cook, and no, we are not people. There is an understanding there, too, when you get hired at such a job, that you're no longer a person. You're there to do the work that a machine can probably do, but also provide a human-like visage for customers to abuse. That's your job. It sucks, but it is also frustrating when I hear people who are like "oh wow I had no idea it was like this" or "hey it shouldn't be that way!" It shouldn't be that way, but it is, it always has been, always will be, and is really naive to think otherwise.

The part where you are deliberately choosing to eat low quality garbage food, not out of convenience but an earnest desire to put the shittiest possible food into your body, because you care deeply about eating trash. To be fair, the people who are eating low quality garbage food put of convenience also probably have some soul searching to do.
