Peeve: parcel delivery drivers that don't read labels on the packages. Got one delivered to my apartment yesterday (no knock either, just left at the door), it has my apartment number but a completely different address for a building across the complex from mine. Hell, the building address is above BOTH of the entrances & not even in the same ballpark other than the apartment number. How does someone gently caress up that bad?

Somehow it showed up, unopened, like five days later. Still have no idea what the hell happened.

People who have a cough... but it's the SAME EXACT cough every time. Like they coughed into a sampler one time and they're just pressing the button over and over. At least change it up!

Goons, that "turn your monitor on" joke hasn't worked for twenty years. What monitors are you using that you can still see your reflection back in it?

Monitors are usually somewhat matte, but a lot of modern TVs make for excellent large monitors, and are unfortunately shiny, just like crts and lcd+glass monitors of yore.

I'm pretty sure BG3 is gonna show "Steam Cloud Sync Error" for the entire time I'll be playing it considering how many quick/auto-saves it'll be trying to sync from my long play sessions and how quickly I put my computer to sleep after closing the game.

The state of apps on Google play is just such loving abysmal, predatory poo poo. I just needed a quick 'ar measuring' app on my phone to roughly estimate a couple distances. Every single top result was some reskinned baby's first AR measuring thing that would not even boot without you agreeing to a 3-day trial that would start autobilling a yearly subscription for 30-40$ once that expired. Google just loves these predatory tactics as long as they provide more money than bad PR, but atleast give me the option to filter away apps where I can't do anything in them without agreeing to a perpetual subscription. (Or at least, remove the ability for them to autobill after short <7 day trial periods.) In general, I really wish 'trial but will automatically continue unprompted' subscriptions were illegal, it's such a scummy tactic. Especially when services do it with longer periods to make people forget about it. (Samsung tablets occasionally come with a couple months of youtube premium for free, but you have to link up a valid credit card to activate it... and it of course just silently slips over to billing you when you forget.)

I get annoyed at how many people I see at the office paying like $38 for lunch because they used Uber Eats. Some do it every day.

Peeve: when I visit someone expecting to cook dinner and bring ingredients but they have nothing. No pans, no utensils. Eating out so often that even the concept of instant ramen is completely beyond them and not happening. Like, do they think it's normal for 70% of their income to go to food?

TV shows and movies that play fake morse code. It would take like 20 cents to play "drink your ovaltine" instead of gibberish.

Eating out so often that even the concept of instant ramen is completely beyond them and not happening. Like, do they think it's normal for 70% of their income to go to food? I spent years travelling for work, now I don’t. When I moved for my current job I got rid of 90 percent of the stuff that was in my last apartment because it was a hodgepodge of random crap and all of it was “I’m barely here to use it, why spend a lot of money” quality stuff. The only thing I kept from my kitchen was my coffee mugs. It’s amazing how much kitchen poo poo I forget I need until I’m midway through cooking. Doing EMS then work travel kind of turned me into a goblin that lived off takeout though, it’s been hard to recivilize. It’s crazy how much of my budget went to food when I was living like that though, especially when I did EMS and made sweet gently caress-all.

"What do you mean we don't have any cookie cutters? How can that loving be possible? We have cabinets full of poo poo from when your grandma who cooked every day died!!" At least we still have the crab crackers and picks in a drawer somewhere.

Loling remembering the time a coworker asked me where I got my sandwich. I said I made it at home, he said that was weird because it had toasted bread. "What? I just fried it in a pan for a little bit." "Ah, then I couldn't make it." "Do you live in a small apartment with no kitchen?" "No I just never learned how to cook haha." When you hear there are people out there who don't know how to boil water it's 100% unironically true.

I grew up with a single mother who worked nights as a nurse and was often asleep around mealtimes, so yeah, I learned how to cook. I am however other peoples' pet peeve because my cooking is usually pretty improvisational, so when people ask for a recipe for a thing I made I'll just sort of stare blankly and say "Uh, I put some of this and this and this together WHAT DO YOU MEAN HOW MUCH JUST COMBINE THEM TIL IT LOOKS RIGHT"

In my mid twenties I taught a guy my age how to make a tuna sandwich. Some people weren't raised, they just were looked after so they didn't choke on Lego.

My old housemate was a doctor, and she was also going out with a doctor. I got to witness him attempt to cook a stir fry, the first thing he did was put dry noodle nests into a hot dry pan, I had to take it off the hob when it started to burn. He got really upset with me when I told him that's not how you cook those noodles, and it might have been the tone but it's hard to not be condescending when you have to explain how to cook dry noodles.

His first attempt involved putting water in a pot and sticking it in the oven. He did not know how to work an oven, and somehow managed to put it on broil. Cue the house full of toxic black smoke when the resin pot handle caught fire. He just kind of stood there and watched the whole episode go down until I ran out of my room. He had literally never cooked or prepared any of his own meals. Everything was done by mom, a girlfriend or the cook at his frat house. Showed him how to boil water for pasta, pour milk in cereal and make a quesadilla. And that is all he ever ate at that house until I moved out a few months later.

You know in your heart what the answer is I'm still baffled that my older sister was still burning pop tarts & ruining pans with soup or mac & cheese well into her teenage years when I was a little kid. Maybe the smoke alarms are what gave me tinnitus?

If I'm making some pasta sauce, I'll start with a can of tomatoes but from there I am freestyling with whatever herbs and spices that catch my eye and seem like they might be good.
