To be fair, I think the very first time you make a dish it's a good idea to follow the recipe to the letter, but after that is all riffing off of the original Peeve of the day: People who shovel/scrape snow into where other people need to use, be it onto the sidewalk, into another parking spot, etc. One of my neighbors has this big rear end truck that he only drives a few times a month, so when he finally has to drive somewhere (I live in Alaska) he's taking off several inches to multiple feet of snow. And where does it all end up? On the sidewalk and the parking spot next to him. Walk it the couple extra feet like everyone else does, ya dick! Tiny personal peeve: my space bar keeps getting stuck so typing takes an extra chunk of time

docbeard posted: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. My mom was a nurse and other jobs so she was at work from 6 AM to midnight and yeah I learned how to cook at like age 7 and barely saw her. I try to give other people leeway because that's not at all a normal living situation but "how do I tell if water is boiling??" is weirdly common.

Cooking is an art. Largely based on vibes. Baking us a science. If you screw up the proportions slightly you'll ruin the entire thing.

Grown rear end adults who act like loving children. So I put in my two-weeks notice on the 19th, and since then my boss has not come into the office. She either calls off sick or works from home and ghosts me on Teams.

I will never understand why Microsoft can't even seem to get File Explorer right. Whenever I use Windows, File Explorer is constantly hanging, taking an inordinate amount of time to load a directory with just a few files, etc. You'd think that a file manager would be one of the major components of an OS - something you'd want to get right. Microsoft can't even get that right. But of course, there's no motivation for any major innovations in Windows because it's considered an industry default. A lot of people and businesses "need" Windows or Excel, so Microsoft can afford to keep pushing out barely functional crap because you have to buy it. After all, what are ya gonna do, use Linux or Mac?

Whenever I use Windows, File Explorer is constantly hanging, taking an inordinate amount of time to load a directory with just a few files, etc. Yup, I have a couple networked drives at home, and it's so willdly annoying clicking in on one.. and then explorer just hangs while that pc wakes the drive up. Just save a simple list of the folders and directories so that I can browse it, and queue up a copy/paste that'll fire off when it actually runs, instead of hanging, please. A neighboring annoyance is that in typical windows fashion, they added a way better file compression algo back in win10 at some point, with CompactOS (LZX and XPRESS 4-16K). Can smash a lot of files down to 50% size with fast and nice unpacking speed. This is of course only available through commandline (or a tool like CompactGUI), and can't be used as easily as the old NTFS compression where you could just right click, set folder/drive to be compressed. Gotta manually fire up a compress of a folder (or schedule it), and it won't automatically compress new assets going in, in the same way the basic one does. So yeah, genuinely useful feature that basically nobody will hear about or use, heavily limited down. (A number of games and large software can also be smashed down, 20-50% reduction, there's a reason the PS5 and XSX do on-disk compression.) I have a tiered disk set up as well, which is another case of 'incredibly useful functionality only available through commandline.', even though it could be exposed to interested users through an applet, if they cared to do so. (Though arguably, tiered storage is solidly into power user territory, though 'pair up a HDD with a bit of your SSD to load stuff faster' is something a lot of people would use, if they could do so easily.)

I have a work network drive I need to be on a special VPN to access, so any time I'm not on that VPN file explorer hangs for 15 seconds all the time. I'm working around it by constantly mapping and unmapping the stupid drive every time I need it but god drat.

Whenever i open Firefox it takes up to fifteen minutes before it will actually access the Internet. I tried to research this and found something about ublock origin having a setting where you can't use the browser until it has downloaded updated blocklists. I disabled that. The behavior has not changed. I can't figure out WTF is going on

The trend where YouTubers hold lav mics in their hands instead of pinning them to their chests where they're supposed to go is mildly annoying to me as an occasional location sound mixer/boom operator/general sound guy.

Videos/reels/toks where it’s a guy pointing at a video on the other half othe screen telling me to watch or listen. Now a video plays on half the screen while another guy just stares at me like an rear end in a top hat while pointing at the actual video I’m supposed to watch. What the gently caress. Doubly irritating when the video playing is hentai

I don't understand, please provide an example.

Especially on TikTok you actually have a greenscreened person over the video. And they are nodding and pointing. Reaction videos were bad enough but these are people who have absolutely nothing to add, but have to find a way to create content. Like this:

I hate it when people make food but don't understand how to talk about food in appealing terms. Use menu words, people! Don't tell me about mistakes you made in the process, and for God's sake don't describe any ingredient as "old" or tell me you "had it around a while". These aren't leftovers you reheated for yourself, you're ostensibly attempting to please a guest, so at the very least make them not feel like they're eating something you pulled out of deep freeze and thawed in the sink.

"You don't have to hand it to him," sounds like a silly catchphrase that a single person might use, but for some reason this has caught on and lots of people are saying it. Are you guys referencing something, quoting someone, when you say this? Or do your lizard brains just see a pattern and feel like you need to be part of the pattern?

"having X instead of a personality" gets overused to the point of half the time it's really just that somebody did X at all to any degree while the person complaining is tired of X. It's not actually that anybody has no personality, it's that a thing they like or do is annoying. But no let's jump to claiming that other people actually don't have full interiority at all. Like calling them NPCs

I’m in UTC +6 and my US family and friends are in UTC -6. So in other words we are exact opposites. Should be convenient but it’s actually really annoying bc my brain autocorrects. Like it’s a quarter past 6 here and a quarter past 18 back in  and I’ll describe something as happening today, when actually it was yesterday but my brain autocorrects to the opposite for people here, for whom it is yesterday, and then in the middle of the night I’ll talk about yesterday things to my mom for whom that day ia still today. It would be so much easier if it was an obvious skew, like -8 and +4

Wolf packs in the wild are mostly communal family units. The whole hierarchy thing happens to wolves bred in captivity. So when a dude says "I'm kind of an Alpha," he's really saying "I was raised in a cage and never allowed to mate."

Never said you can't find the poo poo annoying, i just think the phrase "instead of a personality" is like the 4chan fascist npc meme at its heart plus that it's ironic to complain about people overusing memetic phrases via use of another memetic phrase You are not wrong, but fortunately peeves don't have to be illogical or non hypocritical I am still the real winner. Or I could correct my previous post to refer specifically to memes or clichés that I myself don't use or like.
