I loving hate it when public restrooms use those sinks where you push the handle/button/whatever to turn on the water but they're installed wrong so the water stops a half a second later. Gosh, I wonder why everyone on this floor of the office gets sick all the time?

I agree. The only trick I've found was to push the sink button by propping a lengthy water bottle against your chest/stomach so the button is held down. But then you look on a little stupid back nd have to dry your bottle since you grabbed it with wet hands. Well, assuming you carry around a water bottle and the faucet sticks out long enough for this to be feasible. gently caress these sinks.

It's getting to be that time of year when it starts getting colder than 70 degrees. This always means public transport vehicles, whether they be trains, trams, buses or whatever, decide to crank up the heat. I can't stand this. If it's 50 degrees outside it's a little too cold to not wear a jacket, but when you step onto the tram it's like walking into a drat sauna. You have to choose every morning whether you want to freeze on the way to the tram or wear weather-appropriate clothing and sweat your rear end off on the way in to work.

I could understand keeping the thing heated to like 70 degrees or something normal, but why is it that they always crank it way the gently caress up to where you'd even sweat wearing shorts and a tshirt? Unless you're in the drat arctic, let trams and buses have the same interior temperature as outside so people don't have to remove their huge bulky jackets just to be comfortable.

You'd love the bus I took on friday. The weather was about 50 F, and the AC was on full blast in the bus. Why.

Unrelated pet peeve: I hate when I have a plant and it's clearly dying a slow miserable death. I know I'm terrible with plants, I've come to terms with that, but if it has to die can it at least do it quickly and quietly? I hate when a plant is clearly not doing well, but it takes forever to die, because I feel obligated to change up how much I water it or how much light it gets, but that never seems to help. It's like, either a plant does great and stays alive forever, or (like 90% of them) it dies off real quick. The anomalies that seem to be fine for months, then slowly start to die even though I haven't changed anything about how I care for them... those are the ones that drive me insane.

Fwiw, DIY and Hobbies has a plant thread filled with plant magicians who might be able to tell you how to not murder your plantfriends: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3543738

I hope every last person who has cut me off or disobeyed a traffic sign and almost caused an accident with me and then had the nerve to flip ME off hits a tree. Every last loving one of them.

A few hours ago I was coming back from the store with my 2 small kids in the car and some loving rear end in a top hat ran a red light and very nearly t-boned me. Then the dickhead blares his horn at me for a good 5 seconds, flips me off, then peels off. That is the closest I've ever come to following someone on the road for the sole purpose of yelling at them. I'm still shaking. Say, this is not the first time this has ever happened.

Pedestrian chat: If it's a 'don't walk' sign that allows 30 seconds to finish crossing, what makes you think you can do that 'white people' half jog when the sign is flashing 4 seconds left to cross? Like loving wait.
And then those fuckers calmly stroll across just as the traffic lights are turning yellow and onto green. So now people who wanted to turn right or go straight have to wait for these chucklefucks to finish up their stroll with 'white people half jog' part two.

It's not going to kill you to wait buddy!! There's a reason you're given a whole minute to start and finish crossing!

Related pet peeve: when it signals to pedestrians for them to start crossing the street, but I have to wait to check if someone's turning because there's always those fuckers who see green lights and slam on the gas. Then if there is someone turning I half to do that rude staring while I walk thing to make sure they A) see me and B) aren't going to stare at me while they hit the gas.

Or maybe there's just something about crosswalks near subways exits that make people stupider.

One time she got a bowl of white rice and butter at a cafe that I didn't even know served rice. I thought they just had sandwiches and salads, but there she had a bowl of steaming white rice with butter.

The cool thing about ice is that's it's sort of a zero calorie snack

Please be careful chewing on ice. Chewing on hard things like ice or plastic straws or other hard things may cause microfractures in your teeth, leading to weak teeth which may break. That's pretty painful and expensive, depending on where you live.

If you like chewing on stuff, try chewable stim toys! Granted they're more for autistic people, I think, but I don't think anyone's going to police you for buying something for yourself. The point of them is that they're softer than ice, and should be less likely to cause dental issues. Here's a site to buy some at, but you can probably look around for other places to buy at. http://www.stimtastic.co/stim-toys/?category=Chewable

You can probably stick it in the freezer if you like cold mouth textures. And yeah maybe you'd look kind of goofy, but I think that's preferable to your teeth cracking and breaking in your mouth. Sorry to be nosy but a lot of people may not be aware of this until woops, your mouth is pain!

There was a windows update wherein the audio setting was changed so that if you clicked on a video in your browser, the music playing in another program would drop in volume, but not cease entirely. So you would have a muffled cacophony in your headphones. This will happen even if you have the tab muted so your music volume woukd randomly drop.


I did not ask or ever want for this feature. Honestly I'd rather have updates that feature a dismissable dialogue box list of changes if various settings are changed or added in so at least I'm aware and can utilize the functions.
