I don't know why, but the term "salty" used in terms of people being upset/mad just irritates the poo poo out of me. "Don't be so salty!"

As a librarian trained in book repair, I can tell you that popular fiction and nonfiction have poo poo for production. When I talk about keeping books out of craft time, I'm talking old books, with sewn gatherings, hand-marbled endpapers, plates with rice paper protectors, text printed from moveable type. Making 3D ornaments from a Reader's Digest condensed book? Neat. Hollowing out and laquering up an antique book for a coffee table conversation piece? You make this book mender grumpy.

Yeah this fits my line of thought too. If it has some historical value then don't destroy it you loving Pinterest-addicted craft witch. If it's some mass-produced thing, it's still not something I'd be comfortable doing for whatever reason, but it's not like that Tom Clancy is irreplaceable.

Medical poo poo is even more fun when you have something a lot of general practitioners don't see often (dwarfism) and they refuse to listen to you when you say "Hey, I am prone to ear problems that get bad fast," for example. The one I went to in Albuquerque ignored me and brushed me off with "oh it's just a little red" and by the time I got to an ENT specialist, it was (as he described it, verbatim) "black, bleeding and infected." I have obvious but not really impairing hearing loss in my left ear as a result.

So yeah, doctors who assume that you're just an internet hypochondriac instead of someone with a relatively rare congenital condition who, you know, tries to keep up on poo poo to watch out for... that is a definite pet peeve.

People who park in handicapped spaces (without the permit) with the justification that "I was just five minutes!!!" like my time is less loving valuable than theirs so I can clearly wait for them to go do whatever. I try not to use my placard when I don't have to because I'm aware there are people far more in need of the close spot than me and so when I actually do use it because I need to, and some rear end in a top hat is taking the spot and laughs it off because they were only ten minutes or whatever so that's fine and why am I mad! Bonus if they're pregnant and start trying to even hint at pregnancy totally being the same thing as being disabled.

But some pregnant women do get issued temporary disability placards. Though, these 'maternity' parking spots closer to the door than some of the disabled spots kind of weird me out.

Yeah, I mean specifically people without them. I understand temporary cards and am not bashing those at all; it's the people who don't bother/can't who then decide they're entitled to use them anyways, with the specific justification of "I won't be gone too long!"

Tying with this - places that have inadequate (or no) handicapped accessibility. I live in an older apartment complex, which has handicapped spots in all the lots. In the buildings? No easy handicap accessible ramps, no elevators, nothing to make it easier for them to get in/out. I feel really bad and often end up helping a couple neighbors, both have serious disabilities that make it hard to walk and seeing them try to go up steps scares the hell out of me sometimes

Oh for fucks sake, yes. Or the ones you can tell did a bare minimum, like "meh I have a ramp, what do you want" only the ramp is half the building away from available parking and well. This may go beyond pet peeve and into frothing irritation for me so I'm going to shut up about it.

Joining the wheelchair peeve chat:

- people who use the only handicapped stall in the bathroom/the only accessible bathroom when every other drat one is open. I also get irrationally mad when it's somebody who uses the only accessible toilet just because they have their kid with them. I have to pee really really bad and the chair won't fit into any other stall okay

- people who help so aggressively that they get in the way. Sure, ask if I'd like help, although it's about 50/50 whether I'll say yes, depending on how tired I am. But if I'm trying to get the chair past am obstacle and you start 'helpfully' imposing your body between me and where I want to go, or moving things into my way because you're an imbecile with no spatial awareness, you are not helping. Special mention to people who refuse to get off the elevator at their floor until I've gotten on, which is truly bizarre and a waste of all of our time.

- parents who get mad at their kids for asking about my scars or the chair. If I didn't want to talk about it, I'd make something up. I think I'm at least socially aware enough to handle that!

Oh jesus all of this. ALL OF IT. And as an addition to that first one, the fact that "handicapped stall" automatically means tall-rear end toilet. This may be legally regulated? I think it's due to how you have to get in and out of a wheelchair? But as someone with a shortness disability it's annoying, even if I realize they can't make a toilet for every possible permutation of the concept of disability.

The second one is just... creepy at times. Like I've had a few times where men have essentially shadowed me around grocery stores rushing to pick things up off shelves if I look at them and then they get really offended when I ask them (politely, the first time) to back off and leave me alone.

The third is just dumb and I see it too :sigh:

I always like when parents are cool enough to say "Well, why don't you ask her why she looks different?" and it makes me think they're raising kids who are going to be decent human beings.

People who go over the top when describing their dinner/recipes on the internet. You aren't writing a description on a restaurant menu, if it's a steak and mashed potatoes, just call it that. It doesn't make it more impressive when you type it as "well-seasoned grass-fed pan seared well marbled 100% American ribeye accompanied with a nice russet pomme puree, hand-selected from my organic garden". It is almost always done with pretty ordinary food where they are counting on "fancy" plating/photography and descriptions to make it seem more elevated than it really is. I guess excessive adjectives in general are my pet peeve. This makes places like GWS completely unbearable to me.

As I've started being more and more adventurous with cooking, this has bugged the poo poo out of me in recipes online and I'm glad it's not just me. For gently caress's sake, just give me the ingredients, the amounts, and the steps. Stop having some sort of weird masturbatory moment with a steak and a thesaurus.

Those filmed-from-above sped up gifs of "recipes" that almost always boil down to "combine a bunch of prepackaged poo poo with bacon, cheese, and/or brown sugar" that have been spreading a lot the past several months on facebook. It's almost always either some bland, messy looking gimmicky garbage, or an extremely basic thing like "here's how to make buffalo wings". Why does it have to be in that format? I appreciate the efficiency and lack of terrible filler that are in other youtube versions of recipes where you have to hear their whole family backstory before they start cooking, but I have never seen a single one where I thought "I should make this".

Teachers who don't like kids. If you don't like kids, gently caress off out of the business. There's a big difference between occasionally venting to friends about what a little poo poo so and so is, and calling someone who's proctoring tests for your students and ranting for ten minutes about how one of them is a bastard and the rest of them are garbage.

Actually I may just be downright pissed about this and less of a pet peeve but the point remains that if you don't like students why the gently caress are you teaching.

People complaining to me about the ACA is my pet peeve. I had no insurance after I hit 18 in 2001 until it passed, because dwarfism is a pre-existing condition and unless you're rich enough to pay a ridiculous premium, or lucky enough to find a job with health insurance, you're more or less hosed. That's why I have nearly a hundred grand in medical debt, thanks to two emergency surgeries (neither of which were related to dwarfism in the slightest way). It's hard for me to feel really bad when people grumble about the ACA at this point because for the first time as an adult I got to schedule a surgery like a normal person and didn't get slammed by bills after.
