Tiggum posted:I get this exact same thing because my name is spelled "Mathew" instead of "Matthew". I find it kind of weird, because if I'm typing someone's name (in any context) I always double-check the spelling, but apparently that's just a strange quirk of mine because no one else seems to do it. This reminds me of something. Using first names as Surnames. I'm working in Switzerland and often correspond with people from Britain, so I'm not really familiar with the surnames that the Brits have. So we have a guy called Matthew Harris easy enough I guess, but watch out there is another guys who is called Remex Matthew because some twat some time ago thought that Matthew would be a great surname (also what kind of name is Remex).

It's not the biggest problem at my gym but I just looove walking up to people that use the machine as a nice resting place and ask how many sets they still have. Gets them on the wrong foot almost every time and I have a machine for me now. Gym related peeve: people using the machine not the intended way,  you train shoulders on the standing calf raise machine and why did you think doing shrugs on the incline bench machine is a smart idea? There are machines exactly for those exercises freely available...

Oh the guy isn't an amateur in the true sense, he knows what the machine is truly for but his super special No.1 workout needs to be as convoluted as possible. Imagine Crossfit with machines and less hot chicks.

We share the washing machine in our apartment building (only 8 apartments) and you just write in the time and day you want to use it and everything should be fine. It works 90% of the time, but a few specialists think they don't need to write themselfs into the roster. It never happend that they are washing while it would be my turn which I'm really glad for, it is annoying though if you want to hang up your clothes to dry and all the space is used by them since they won't take it down for 2 days or longer. But since they didn't write themselfs in the list I have no way of knowing who they are so I could ask them to take their poo poo down. It then also enrages me that something so petty is actually making me angry. We are slowly getting all of them in an building whatsapp group so maybe one day we'll be able to sort it out that way

Murphy Brownback posted:Swiss people take quiet sundays really seriously, at least in my experience. Germans do the whole shutting almost every shop down aside from the main train station/airport and gas stations on Sunday thing too but I at least see some of them cutting their grass doing laundry etc on Sunday which I never saw anyone dare to do (without trying to sneak around/hide it, anyway) in Zurich. Ahaha, should have guessed you are swiss, the wars fought in the laundry rooms here are legendary. Luckily our landlord does no care a bit and there is a business between the laundry room and the first apartments so we wash 24/7.

Your picky-eater buddy won't let you go to the restaurant you like, that's a legitimate complaint because it's affecting you. Your picky-eater buddy goes with you to the restaurant you like, only orders their picky-eater thing and complains the whole time that there wasn't anything else for them, that's a legitimate complaint because it's affecting you (having to listen to them be a whiny piss jar the whole time). Your picky-eater buddy goes with you, orders their picky-eater thing and is happy about it, don't loving complain about that. I can't talk about other people but what would bother me about picky eaters ( I don't actually know a picky eater ) if they complain about the food the whole time, so it's more a peeve about moaning and moping around rather than that someone that doesn't want to eat something specific.

Nettles Coterie posted:I unfortunately work as a cashier, and it always baffles me how many people just pile random poo poo into their cart and sort it out AT THE REGISTER. I've had people leave behind well over half the poo poo they'd picked out. Like, sometimes they come up and outright say "I only have $50, so you can just stop once we hit that amount", sometimes they stand there and carefully inspect each individual item for 30+ seconds before giving it to me (ignoring the folks waiting behind them) and sometimes they decide they don't want something and try to cram it into the PoP shelves instead of just loving handing it to me and telling me they don't want it like a normal human being. Look, fucko, I don't care if you don't want that ground beef, just PLEASE give it to me instead of hiding it behind the gum where it'll go bad and leak reeking meat juice everywhere! Is this an american thing? I never worked at a cashregister so I wouldn't know, but I can't imagine it happening where I live. Shopping related pet peeve, people waiting to take their wallet out until the cashier tells them the ammount they need to pay. And it is always somebody with a humungus wallet with tons of receipts that they need to dig through to find their bills.

I like the self checkouts here in switzerland. There is no weird weightstation there so you can't have that issue, there is also always somebody from the shop around if there is an issue. All the smaller shops expect you to use it only when you have a handfull of items. The large Shops give you an handheld scanner where you scan your stuff as you go through the shop filling your cart and then just connect it at the machine at the exit, pay and then go. The only thing that you can hate is that there is nobody to pack your stuff even at the manned registers.

I'm in a course right now and there is some chick here who manages to talk in such a weird way that it pisses me off. I can't really explain it very good, but she manages to not hit any normal tonal pitch of sentences that you expect. So for example if you ask a question your pitch slowly goes up to the end of the sentence, right? With her it just goes up and down like a loving rollercoaster. And I got to hear her for two more weeks.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I agree with this, but for sports. Sitting down at a college football game is a guaranteed way to get everyone around you to start yelling at you and threatening to kick your rear end. You'll get endless amounts of "you're not a real fan" etc if you have the audacity to not want to stand for four hours in the 90+ degree sun with no shade. Also people don't just stand, they stand on their seats, requiring everyone else to do it if they want to see. Security half-heartedly will go around telling people to get off of them, but as soon as they walk by they climb right back up. Did you get tickets in the hardcore fan sector of the stadium? Please note that I never attend sport games and only see a handfull a year on TV, and the only people that I see standing there are the hardcore supporters.

Tiggum posted:Same but as a pedestrian. If I'm approaching a road and a driver stops to let me cross ahead of them it's always annoying. I'm going to stop anyway because I don't know what you're doing and I'm not going to walk blindly in front of a car. You were moving fast enough that I could easily have crossed behind you without even stopping. It's not a busy road (because if it was then you wouldn't be able to stop) so you're not creating a gap for me, you're just wasting your own time and mine. Don't come to switzerland where pedestrians have the right of way over cars at crossings. It works good but as a pedestrian you still need to watch out and slow down since there is always that 1% mix of assholes/old people/day dreamers that don't see you and pass right infront of you at max speed without a second glance.

Aesop Poprock posted:Why is this such a thing in offices but not in retail? I was manager for years at a Barnes & Noble and we'd only go out for birthdays outside of work with people we liked like normal human beings. I think the most random thing we did was Fasnacht day and that was just because it was an excuse for everyone to feast on awesome handmade donuts and only because we lived in Lancaster PA It's the opposite here at our office, as the birthdayperson is expected to organize or bring something in for everyone. When our company was still a bit smaller it was a thing to order treats for everyone in the company (100+ people), but luckily it is dying out a bit and we only get stuff for our floor/team now. Also, does Lancaster have a high amount of Swiss immigrants? Cause I find it hilarious that somebody would have Fasnacht outside of Switzerland.

Wheat Loaf posted:And a more specific example: some time ago when I was at the gym, there was one older guy who would load up the weight machine with a whole bunch of plates, struggle and strain through one rep and then scribble something in his notebook and move off to some other area without removing the weight as is basic gym etiquette. To this day, I have no idea what on Earth he was getting out of that. You're doing one rep and you were barely able to do that one. The ego is hungry and wants to be fed.

Midig posted:Cliche fitness/diet advice that doesn't help anybody because it is too vague or too low impact to have any actual effect on your looks or health in the long run. Bonus points if its really loving obvious like eating less pizza and more salad. Thanks a lot, I did not know that! Agree, I have done my fair share of reading about eating and training and know what works and what probably won't. Diets in the long run are bad for most people since the idea to only lose weight for a short time to your ideal weight and then just bouncing back to your old poo poo food habits is a toxic cycle. What most people should learn/understand that long term change is a lifestyle change, but that is hard so they rather go on a smoothie detox or whatever. I just nod and smile whenever I am in a discussion with friends who talk about their last failed attempt to lose 10lbs to fit into a dress for a marriage they were invited to.
