Murphy Brownback posted:People who have no sense of awareness of how loud they/their actions are. The biggest annoyance to me personally are door slammers. The person in the office next to mine, whenever he steps out to do ANYTHING, whether it is to go grab a coffee in the office 2 doors down, or talk to someone in the hall for 30 seconds, he slams the door shut behind him. At least once an hour he does this and it makes me jump almost every time. Is it so much to ask to close it quietly, or maybe...don't close it when you don't need to? This drives me insane. Sometimes classes and deadlines line up such that I'll have just a 3 hour window where I can get some sleep and then that time has to carry me for the next 30 hours, and the jackass in the next room wakes me up in the middle of it because they have evidently never learned that you can close a door without hulk smashing it.

The way the word "literally" is now getting thrown around in place of a bunch of other words where it makes no sense. "Literally" is the only word you can't use figuratively!

This might better belong in the college complaints thread, but I'm really starting to hate people who eat food with noisy packaging/wrappers during a class. I have ADD and tend to sit in the front row of classes so it's a super obnoxious-sounding distraction right behind me that completely throws me off for a minute every single time it happens. If I could just tune it out I could, but I kind of can't and it's an inconsistent sound so it predictably throws off my focus every time it happens. It's just rude the great majority of people who do it have plenty of time before or after their classes to eat anyway so there's no way it's necessary.GOTTA STAY FAI posted:My peeve this week is an ancient one. I really can't stand it when posters who should know better fall for obvious trolls. This is a really painful thing to see because you know it's only encouraging the trolls to continue, and it ends up ruining a lot of threads because people just cannot shut the gently caress up when an incredibly obvious troll tries to get a reaction out of them.

Related: People who swerve in and out of random lanes on the highway with no turn signal to get ahead, because whoever is in the lane in front of them at the time is going 1 mph slower than they want. These people must save a few seconds at best by doing this, while also making it incredibly unsafe for everyone else.

I have the opposite problem where I asked someone on a date and they've done nothing but stall and delay it over and over, to the point where it's been over a month since we've both been in town and I still haven't seen them once because of this. I've given them enough chances for nothing to come of this and it's been a waste of time so the next time I see another delay I'm calling it off (because that's basically what's already happened through attrition). It's not a big deal but for christ's sake, if someone asks you out maybe just say what you actually mean instead of pretending to care for reasons unclear.

Getting hair past the awkward middle length sucks. Just long enough to have to be controlled unless you want to look like an idiot, too short to actually be able to control it. I'm glad I got that done years ago but I kind of worry that I'll have to cut it below that length for some reason and have to deal with it again.

Magic Hate Ball posted:Door-slamming. I know this is usually just a product of growing up in a big loud family but holy poo poo, stop it. It takes like a billionth of a fraction of a second of forethought to not slam the door. Shut it gently. See also: stomping on stairs. Last year I had a roommate who always loving did this and it drove me insane. General lack of respect for the fact that people might be trying to sleep at 3 AM (or anytime really if you don't actually need to be making that much noise) is one of my biggest pet peeves. Even with white noise I could hear everything he did the moment he came into the apartment. It is not hard to close a door quietly, and I should not have to ask you to mute your loving TV at 3 AM on a weekday, especially not after bringing it up multiple times already. I'm a computer science major while he was a business major and the business program is piss easy at my university (usually what people do when they don't actually want to work in college) so we didn't exactly get along. Now I have a roommate who's so quiet I often forget anyone else lives in the apartment, and it's awesome.

Youtube videos for games that have spoilers in the title and thumbnail so you end up getting stuff spoiled really randomly. Sometimes youtube will throw these at you even when you aren't looking at game videos at the time. I'm sure this applies to movies and shows too.

InediblePenguin posted:when I had appendicitis I spent twelve hours in the emergency room because the doctor on shift thought I was a teenage girl who was lying about being pregnant. He interrogated me about this multiple times over the twelve hours that I was lying half-conscious in agony on a gurney in a room off the side, coming in just long enough to yell at me that needed to just admit the truth already before leaving to tend to the patients he felt deserved his attention more. It wasn't until a new doctor came on at a shift change that anyone actually LOOKED at me. By the time they got me into the ER my appendix had already burst, and they had a meeting with my parents to break the news to them that they should not expect me to recover. Obviously I did (after several weeks in the hospital and a secondary infection that led to my parents being given ANOTHER "prepare for your child to die any minute now" speech), but doctors not loving believing people (especially women/people they perceive to be women) is my pet peeve  I'm not a lawyer so maybe there's some kind of rear end in a top hat protection I don't know about here but this sounds like it would have been a viable lawsuit. It's certainly a gently caress of a lot more than a peeve.

InediblePenguin posted:oh yeah and if you're trans then every single health problem you have is obviously an emotional/psychological thing related to your being trans, rather than an actual medical condition - I know a woman who couldn't initially get treatment for A BROKEN WRIST because the doctor at the clinic she went to was like "I don't have any experience with trans patients so I can't help you," because of course being trans means your bones work differently Your tonsils need to be removed? Probably because of those hormones you're taking. You got the flu? Must be the hormones! Can't wait to deal with this when I eventually go on HRT. I've yet to hear from someone on HRT who hasn't gotten this poo poo from some idiot.

Anytime I end up on a mac university computer or whatever I'm always trying to use the alt/control keys for the things they do on windows (alt T for new tab in firefox etc) and have to figure out which of those things got moved to the options button, which is in a different place. Of course for all I complain about macs being different, windows is much more of a special snowflake OS out of OSX/linux/windows.

Decimeters are tens of centimeters. Why don't people just say decimeters. Everyone just jumps from centimeters to meters and uses that as the reason why the imperial system is supposedly more convenient, when the metric system already has a unit about as convenient as the foot. 3 dm is very close to a foot too.

mostlygray posted:I get irritated by the opposite. The people that think all animals will kill them. Be it fish, cat, dog, hamster, etc. My recently deceased dog was barky but friendly and never even snapped at a soul. Yet almost every repairman would prefer to listen to a dog bark for 2 hours locked up rather than let him say hello. I've never been bitten by a dog so maybe it's just a hangup that I don't have. They don't know your dog the way you do and have no idea whether it's just being friendly or will try to bite them. Or will bite them while thinking it's being friendly by doing so. When an unfamiliar animal runs at you, you really have no idea what it will do. It's reasonable to be a bit uncomfortable with that unless you're talking about a chihuahua or something.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:I dropped it last year when I noticed ads start seeping in and YouTube started playing ads mid-video. I haven't seen any youtube ads or anything out of the ordinary so I guess noscript is keeping that out. Noscript is an awesome complement to adblock plus. I immediately remember how much I hate ads when I'm on a different computer so I don't have my plugins and suddenly there's all this dumb poo poo competing for screen space and throwing distracting movements in the corner of the screen. Hell of a lot more than a pet peeve but I hate that it's all fueled by telemetry and other ways of ruining privacy. Loss of privacy is something I take very seriously but feel completely powerless to do anything about.

AlphaKretin posted:Unfair reviews in general annoy me, especially if the product/hotel/whatever is small enough that a few lovely reviews affects them. My favourite example of this is one small BnB in the Austrian countryside (...I can explain why I was looking at that but it's a long story), with a TripAdvisor user score of 3 stars. One review was 5 starts, with a rational, reasoned review of the place that amounted to "it was perfectly fine and I wasn't expecting any more". The other guy? One star because "I willingly admit the place was good but that Sabine bitch hated me, I swear", detailed in a massive screed. It hasn't been updated in a year but there's an entire site about this and they can get pretty infuriating http://leasthelpful.com/
