Being the passenger of someone who refuses to park in any open parking space because it's too far from the front entrance. I know I can't really say much because I'm not the one driving but in the time it's taken to circle the lot 5 times hoping to catch someone as they leave we could have taken one of the empty spots near the back, walked the extra 40 feet and be inside already. Its even more annoying when we're going to the mall or something where we'll be on our feet for a while anyway. That extra minute and a half of walking isn't going to kill you!

Strategic Tea posted:Also, why does everyone think that the details of their specific childhood are the true essentials to raising a kid? There's a certain type of person that is super defensive about any implication that there's something wrong with them, to the point of imagining that any parent deciding to raise their kid differently than they were are saying "I don't want my kid to end up like you". You get this a lot whenever spanking comes up but I've also seen people get pissy about punishing bullies and enrolling in art programs instead of sports.

Thin Privilege posted:And of course there's the opposite end of the spectrum, which is when people don't respond to your texts at ALL. I have a friend who does this but only when he already has committed to other plans. Apparently he doesn't want to disappoint us by saying no, like we're going to be pissed that its his sister's birthday or something. What's way more annoying is waiting around to find out if he needs a ride to wherever we're going when we could've left hours ago.

Murphy Brownback posted:Software-related annoyances: Loading animations that give no indication of what it is working on. What was wrong with the old-fashioned progress bars? With those you could at least tell if it was getting stuck, and if so, on what part of the process so you could try and figure out what's wrong. The endless spinny circle things though don't tell you anything, and every time I think it's stuck and hit back, the page ends up finishing loading but i have to go through it all over again because I pushed back. People (the average joes who aren't trying to troubleshoot, I mean) get more annoyed by loading times if they can see how slowly the process is going and how much more they have to go.

It still gets pretty chilly at night but the days are too drat warm. Granted I live in Georgia and it never gets very cold, but it should still be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than it is. Happy Halloween from Canada!  Edit: beaten, sorta

I just learned this term in another thread so I'm putting it here: jukebox musicals. Movies which are ostensibly musicals but most/all of the songs are just contemporary songs. Its especially aggravating in animated films because usually those movies have at least some element of fantasy to them, completely ruined when a character sings something you'd hear on the radio. The worst offender I've seen was The Book of Life. I started watching it on Netflix because Guillermo del Toro was involved and I thought the visual style was interesting but had to shut it off half way through because the dead mariachi skeleton guy bust out his guitar and started singing Creep by Radiohead.

BioEnchanted posted:I hate when people get weird about me not liking shows that are considered "classics". I never gave a poo poo about Buffy or Rugrats, the former not out of dislike or disdain but out of a lack of shits given and the latter because I found the babytalk jokes obnoxious and repetitive and hated the artstyle, but if I ever mention it publicly all I get is contarian answers like "It's a classic, how can you hate it?" which is not a rebuttal due to it being my opinion. On a related note, when someone is flabbergasted that you haven't seen a particular movie/show/whatever. I have a friend who's otherwise great to talk about movies with but she gives me this wide-eyed, slack-jawed expression of disbelief if I admit I haven't seen whatever semi-obscure film as if I'm an alien and she just saw through my human disguise. I mean, what's wrong with "Oh, it's really good! We should watch it sometime"?

I've got a new upstairs neighbour in my building and the dude has a real hard time figuring out what floor he's on. It's been a week and just about every day I hear him at my door trying to unlock it with his keys until I tell him he's got the wrong floor. Yesterday he did it twice! He seems like a harmless space-case and is always very apologetic but the longer this goes on the more I'm convinced that he's just waiting for the day I accidentally leave my door unlocked so he can swipe my TV or something.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Flash mobs are the dumbest thing. My first year of undergrad was when they started becoming "a thing", and you'd always see people in the public areas practicing or getting invitations on facebook to go pretend to be a zombie and it's just like....why? The vast majority of people seem annoyed or confused when flash mobs start doing their thing, I rarely see people actually enjoy watching/listening to them. Even if you try to understand it from the "wanting attention" thing it doesn't make sense because individuals don't really stick out in them. It just seems like pointless work that ultimately goes unappreciated and/or despised by the audience. They aren't looking for attention from the people physically there. They want to be a part of something that people will be talking about the next day so they can tell everyone they were involved and bask in THAT attention. And some, I guess, genuinely just like to perform and misjudge how much others like to have a performance interrupt their day.

credburn posted:People who change the lyrics when singing a popular song at karaoke to align with their gender/sexuality. Nobody is going to think you're gay because you're singing a popular song everyone knows the lyrics to but is about (((gasp))) a man. The last minute change from him to her just screams insecurity. My favourite example of this kind of thing is Micheal Buble's cover of Santa Baby. He changes "baby" to "buddy" and alters a few lines in the verses but it's still very obviously a song about seducing Santa so he'll give you expensive presents.

My bluetooth pet peeve is this pair of cheap grocery store earbuds I bought just to have a pair to run with that I won't mind losing. When the battery's low, the ear buds let you know by pausing the playback, beeping loudly in your ears and a robot voice tells you to charge them. This happens every 60 seconds, more often if one earbud has slightly more charge than the other. So basically the manufacturer reduced the already terrible battery life of their product by making the ear buds unusable for the last 15% of their charge.

Can the "tell me you're ____ without telling me you're ____" meme just die already? It's already barely a joke when you fill the blank with one or two words but so many people forget it's even supposed to be funny and make it into a big cumbersome run-on sentence.

I'm a reformed picky eater who would order my burgers with just ketchup and cheese. Even back then, if I got one with the works by mistake, I would just take the extra toppings off myself, including scraping off the mustard and mayo. If you're getting them to make you a whole new one because of a few milliliters of pickle juice residue, you're a huge baby, sorry. Even if the pickle flavor completely overpowers the rest of the food (it won't), you'd be better off if you just eat it anyway and finally acquire a taste for them.

The Mighty Moltres posted:When I was Christmas shopping last year, I sat down on a bench to wait for the person I was with, and an old man politely asked if he could join me. Of course I said yes, and we exchanged a few pleasantries. I had similar and also very weird conversation with a real old guy on the bus once. We made small talk about the stuff he bought at the grocery store and then he pulled out a newspaper and showed me an article about a sex convention happening in town to ask me what I thought about it. I said it wasn't my thing but I think it's healthier to be open minded about that kind of thing rather than to repress it. He nodded quietly, pulled out a foreign coin (in one of those coin collecting sleeves) for my troubles, and forgot all his groceries when he got off the bus.

My girlfriend gets served up those back-and-forth videos on TikTok all the time and they drive me up the wall. Its always a huge multi-part STDH spiel about someone very calm and polite who works in hairdressing and their absolutely horrible moron of a client. I hate it enough when a story is filled with obvious lies and embellishments in a real life conversation-- Why anyone would willingly stick around to hear the whole thing is beyond me.

Like, a hand in a photo might be posed in such a way that some fingers/thumb are obscured and you'll get people coming out of the woodwork yelling "LOL LOOK AT THE HANDS AI GARBAGE".
