1. Repeating a rant from the GBS OSHA thread: Dickheads who can't tear themselves away from their phone for five minutes when they're driving. Either come to a complete stop somewhere and fiddle with your loving phone or put it the gently caress down and drive like a grown adult.

2. Dickheads who put everyone in danger on a two way road because they're such VIPs with so very important schedules that nobody is driving fast enough to suit them, so they cross the other lane (for traffic going the other way) like a colossal loving rear end in a top hat. No, I'm not talking about when there's a legitimately slow driver, but passing every single person who dares to be driving in front of you because you didn't grow up past the age of five. gently caress you.

My pet peeve is the word "populism." It seems to be entirely a tool for saying "policies people like" but in a bad way. Did we lose track of the idea that adopting policies that are broadly popular is the loving point of democracy, or did we just finally accept that the US isn't a democracy, or...?

It means valuing broad appeal over other considerations, such as whether or not the thing in question is lovely or harmful.

It’s deliberate and a cynical way to associate ring wing assholes with actual popularity. It’s also erasure of the very real and very cool post-civil-war Populist Party, which started as an integrated Farmer’s alliance against usury and capitalist exploitation and for fiat currency (as there wasn’t enough actual currency available, leading to abuses by those that had it) and direct election of senators. Farmers used to be radicals in the US, but that history is intentionally ignored.

1: We demand the abolition of national banks.
2: We demand that the government shall establish sub-treasuries or depositories in the several states, which shall loan money direct to the people at a low rate of interest, not to exceed two per cent per annum, on non-perishable farm products, and also upon real estate, with proper limitations upon the quantity of land and amount of money.
3: We demand that the amount of the circulating medium be speedily increased to not less than $50 per capita.
4: We demand that Congress shall pass such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions; providing a stringent system of procedure in trials that will secure the prompt conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall secure the most perfect compliance with the law.
5: We condemn the silver bill recently passed by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
6: We demand the passage of laws prohibiting alien ownership of land, and that Congress take prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndicates; and that all lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of such as is actually used and needed by them be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only.
7: Believing in the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, we demand—
a: That our national legislation shall be so framed in the future as not to build up one industry at the expense of another.
b: We further demand a removal of the existing heavy tariff tax from the necessities of life that the poor of our land must have.
c: We further demand a just and equitable system of graduated tax on incomes.
d: We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all national and state revenues shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government economically and honestly administered.
e: We demand the most rigid, honest and just state and national government control and supervision of the means of public communication and transportation, and if this control and supervision does not remove the abuse now existing, we demand the government ownership of such means of communication and transportation.
f: We demand that the Congress of the United States submit an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people of each state.

I always hate when I get a nosebleed in a public place and people start giving advice as it's always the same terrible advice, like "Lean your head back" - no, I hold it forward as otherwise I get a ton of blood running down my throat. Also it feels like it clots faster towards the front of the nostril even if it is annoying. I have had so many nosebleeds throughout my childhood that I've kind of got the hang of it.

Nosebleeds loving suck. I got one on the second day of my new job, in a meeting with a bunch of senior internal and external people. I had to dash to the toilets and wait for it to end, and I'm pretty sure I managed to style it out but still... It sucks so much to just be sat there normally and then, oh whoops, there's blood gushing down your face, sorry about that.

Ask your doctor about silver nitrate. No joke, lots of nose bleeds as a teenager. One uncomfortable treatment later and I haven't had a spontaneous nosebleed since.

Flying an airline where everyone gets two checked bags for free and still everyone's fighting for a place to put their carry-on. Why do you need 30 pounds of poo poo for a 2 hour flight? Check that bag and get a backpack that fits under the seat. I mean, if you have a lovely boarding group it's probably going to get gate checked anyway.

It's because of all the earlier people who put their coats in the carryon zone and slammed the door on a half-full compartment.

If your side rear-view mirror is angled so far in that I can read your lips from directly behind you, you need to angle it out more. Your center mirror is already showing you what's directly behind you, the side mirror is supposed to show you what's behind you and to the side!

Hold music shouldn't exist, and ABSOLUTELY shouldn't be interrupted every 40 seconds by a smarmy message telling me how much my time is valued and advertising some new service. These things combined make it all but impossible to do anything else for the 60-90 minutes that I am on hold, unless it requires literally zero attention at all. Just give me a low tone, or at the most something extremely slow and ambient.

I always end up with frontier tickets so this never happens. Checking a bag costs 50+ dollars and their size chart for carry ons are criminal.

I bring a backpack and use a space bag to turn a weeks worth of cloths into a tiny little compressed thing.

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
I've been a not-entirely-consistent vegetarian for the last few years, and for some reason in that time I have developed an intolerance to beef. Like, even trace amounts of beef or beef fat in what I eat will give me awful indigestion and stomach pain for hours afterwards.

This has led to two peeves :

1. Turns out lots of stuff is made in restaurants with beef fat (e.g. roast potatoes) that they don't tell you about, so therefore ;

2. I have to tell waiters that I can't eat beef, and this is almost always met with a funny look or a laugh because people think I'm joking and/or being weird.
