Tiggum posted:People who walk slowly. Specifically, when they're walking somewhere with me. If I'm walking somewhere with someone I always have to plan for it to take twice as long as it should, because no one can walk at a reasonable pace. And I don't think I walk particularly fast, it generally takes me about as long to get somewhere as Google Maps indicates. Is that not supposed to be a normal walking pace? Some of us have short legs! I hate it when i'm walking with friends and all the tall guys with long legs are taking these huge rear end strides and I pretty much have to do this weird almost jog just to keep up with them. Also assholes who are mean to cashiers. Those people suck.

Maggie Fletcher posted:I've noticed people get really wonky if I order vegetarian or vegan food. I'm not a vegan because reasons, but I love vegan food, and if I'm going to eat a vegan soup or entree, I'm not going to put bacon on it just because it's there. Just because I am not vegan doesn't mean I have to eat meat for every meal. People can't seem to figure out that sometimes I just want vegetables because duh, they're good. And no, I'm not on a diet just because I like to eat vegetables. They taste good and they're good for me. What's the problem? I hate this. I've been losing weight recently and all I hear from my family is that I'm starving myself, that I'm only eating rabbit food, blah blah blah. It's like, if I want to have a snack of delicious asparagus or a nice summer salad that is my business. I don't see how that hurts anyone else. It's gotten way worse, too, because I'm eating actual normal portion sizes instead fo the massive portions I grew up on. My family seems to think I'm anorexic now, but I'm really not. I'm just tired of being fat.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:I've got a handful of units near campus and as much as I'd love a full-on pet ban, for the three- and four-bedrooms, the first thing potential renters ask about is our pet policy. Our lawyer advised imposing a ludicrous non-refundable pet fee and charging monthly "pet rent" as deterrents to weed out the shitheads. That works well most of the time, but once in a while I'll get a trust fund kid who doesn't bat an eye at writing a check for first month+last month+deposit+pet fee equal to three months' rent+pet rent on lease day. I feel so bad for those pets. I got my grumpy old man cat from a laundry basket in front of safeway because some assholes wouldn't spay/neuter their pets and as such decided to dump the poor kittens in a laundry basket outside on the hottest day of the year because they didn't want to pay the 25$ fee to have the no kill shelter take them. So I grabbed Momo and called the shelter and gave them 25$ myself because gently caress those guys. Poor little kittens didn't deserve that.

He'll say "okay! " and then pack everything into placstic bags anyway. So I don't bring my reusable bags, whatever. But then he goes even more pants on head stupid and bags like he's been lobotomized. Heavy items stuffed into as few thin plastic bags as possible, none double bagged. Light items double bagged with only one or two light items in each. And god forbid if I say "oh, that's fine I don't need help thanks" then he gets all but hurt and pouts and whines that it's his job and he's gotta do it, so I point out any of the other cashiering lines that don't have a bagger present and he ignores me and keeps shoving my items willy nilly into bags.

Of course I'm not going to know exactly where you put your gift cards, yes I used them as you requested it but I can't remember what I have for breakfast, much less what happened to your card weeks after I'm done using it for you. This, only instead of items they've lost or whatever it's things they think I've broken because I used it once three years ago and obviously that means I broke it.

Arrath posted:I've run Windows with the task bar set to auto hide forever. I just do, I like it that way. What I don't like is that occasionally (often) something* will get 'stuck' and it won't auto hide, it just sits there like a normal task bar. But since it's set to auto hide the computer happily extends windows below the ever present, always on top task bar. Usually hiding helpful controls situated along the bottom of said window. if you like the auto hidden task bar because you like minimalism, I suggest takinga look at rainmeter. It's a thingy that changes the look of the os to be whatever you customize it to, it's pretty fuckin' rad.

There's this one chick who comes to my friend's parties sometimes and every time she talks she just has to say "right" or "yeah?" at the end of every sentence, but it's not just a rhetorical quirk. She actually expects people to reply to it. Like, c'mon, I'm obviously holding a conversation with you, don't loving make me acknowledge every single loving sentence you say. My pet peeve today- people who cannot get their poo poo in order in the grocery store. They know they're going to have to pay for their groceries, they've had to have done this before, they have to know that at some point that money is gonna have to be handed over, so why in the absolute christing gently caress can they not get their money out before hand? Just get the loving money out! It makes everything go smoother because instead of making everyone stand around all day waiting for your lazy rear end to get your money out and dig around in your purse/wallet for coupons or whatever we could already be the gently caress out of here. I don't want to wait in line for ten minutes if I don't have to, I just want to get my dinner and go home.

The only ones I know of are certain painkillers and Adderall. Some of them you're not even allowed to get a 90-day prescription for, it has to be monthly. Yup. Got tramadol from my dentist, I had to get a paper script, take it to the pharmacy, and wait the hour it took to get it filled for 'safety reasons".

Colds. They're the stupidest, most annoying minor sickness I get. It's always the same- my nose is clogged on one side, running like a man on fire on the other side, I feel generally bleh and my throat has a slight but not quiet enough to call it sore soreness to it.

I have two housemates, both girls in their early 20s, and the other day they were discussing food and talking about how sugar is basically granulated poison and gluten is the devil and rah rah rah. They both eat like poo poo but you better believe they spend a ton of money on organic veggies and other hippy nonsense that then rots in the fridge while they eat takeaway and junk food most days. Oh god, these people. My boyfriend's mom is one of those anti-vaxxers who think that depression can be solved by eating organic and taking a tablespoon of honey every night. Yes, she actually said that to me. She also says that if you eat anything that's not natural it'll fill you with "toxins" and that sugar is basically formaldehyde. And she knows all this because she was a nurse and saw that doctors and hospitals don't work. I feel really bad for her previous patients.
