Being sick at work, especially with a raspy voice. "Oh, looks like you're getting sick!" "You should drink some Emergen-C." "Wow you sound terrible!" "Ooooh don't breathe on me!!" I don't want to talk about it, please just let me stock books in peace. I know people are trying to be nice but it's so annoying! And talking makes my throat hurt  Same with haircuts.

When I get to my job by bus, I have about 15 minutes before my shift begins. This is the perfect amount of time to gently caress around on my phone and get coffee, with no risk of being late. It works well. However: My pet peeve is when people talk to me during this time. No, I don't care about work when I'm not on the clock. No, I don't want to hear about the new workplace drama. No, even if you're my friend, no. Since I come directly from school, this is the only time I have where I am beholden to no one in a solid 9-10 hours. Let me drink the drat coffee. Actually, let me expand that: if I am eating and we are not at a meal together, don't talk to me. I hate this way more than i should and I really have no justifiable reason for it, so I think it fits this thread.

My roommate talks on speakerphone exclusively. He is by nature a loud (very very loud) person, but even for him it seems excessive. Bonus: he's a ~~network marketer~~ so everything he says is some bullshit about how cool and good his company is and how they're totally going to make you money, honest!

Murphy Brownback posted:When I try and unlock my phone and it goes directly to the camera mode. I have no idea what I'm doing to make it do that, and I can't replicate it when I actually want to. I have to delete a lot of floor pictures because I tap on it expecting the homescreen but it's the camera instead. If you're on iPhone it's interpreting your swipe as up, not to the right. Swiping up on the lock screen takes you to the camera. My phone likes to do that too; the phone will stay on in the background draining the battery and it dies after a minute or two. Oh old phone, you tried

It turns out that pinching me in the meat of my upper arm as a way to silence me is a great way to turn me into a huge ball of rage instead.

Henchman of Santa posted:A whole subsection of my college friends were like that, often acting like misanthropes while gathered in a group. The irony was lost on them. I used to live with a guy like this; it was a bad, annoying time. Petchat: this same guy once refused to believe me when I pointed out that his new puppy was female. He didn't talk to me for a few days after that because I had ~*~insulted his intelligence~*~. When he took her in for her shots the and vet pointed out that the male-named and -pronouned dog was sporting a vulva and not a penis he finally believed it but refused to acknowledge that we had ever talked about it prior. People who can't deal with being wrong and just double down. That's my peeve.

I'd really like to do this when I am well enough to go to school/work, but not well enough to feel comfortable breathing in someone's airspace. I'm not really looking forward to the slew of questions though.

When I tell someone about my phobia, I try to do it in a "hey, this is serious" way. It negatively impacts my life and is a major source of anxiety for me; if I'm telling someone about it than I consider them close enough to trust with the knowledge that this specific thing is a major trigger/mental block. My pet peeve is when they immediately start talking about their experiences with this thing, usually negative, and always geared toward my specific fear. Thanks for the loving adrenaline spike, asswad!

MasBrillante posted:The fact that 90% of sandwich recipes include mayonnaise. I hate mayo. I hate that I have to ask to have it removed because a lot of times shops forget and it makes me retch like a big baby when I smell it. I feel like spreads should always be optional except at actual gourmet places where a chef carefully constructed the flavor profile of a particular dish. Otherwise, leave your nasty fatty cum sauce off my sandwich! You could be me with these. Mayonnaise is a substance I'm sloooowly warming up, and even then only Japanese mayonnaise and aioli and such. The thick white globs of it that sandwich makers insist on smearing on just make me gag. How is that okay? How is that expected? Just ask before putting condiments on, they change everything and can't be picked off. I also care deeply about my bone health and arch stability and have chosen the route of offensively unfashionable. Welcome to hiking boot club

I take walks as a really basic form of therapy, which makes it really awkward when people insist on giving rides. It's such a nice gesture that i really don't want or need, and I'm definitely the weird one here I wish I lived somewhere with less of a car culture; walks are really pleasant and good at clearing my head.

bradzilla posted:-A post by a coddled idiot who's never lived in a shared housing situation If my upstairs neighbors want to blast music for like two hours in the afternoon that is okay; if they want to blast music from 8 to 8 all day every day suddenly it's not okay. Part of living in shared spaces is figuring out where that line is drawn and which hills are important to die on. The Snoo is currently surrounded by hills that look like good and attractive places to die, for example.

There's also the possibility that they find air mattresses uncomfortable and would prefer the couch. I've slept on the floor to avoid a lovely air mattress. I'm not sure how people sleep on them.

Maggie Fletcher posted:Another traffic-related peeve is people giving up their entitled right-of-way. You don't have a stop sign and I do, go through the drat intersection! I can't move until you do! I'm turning left and you are going straight through the green light, go ahead and go! This isn't a stop sign; I'm waiting for you to clear the intersection so I can go through it. You're trying to be nice, but you're just loving poo poo up and it's taking more time to do anything, while frustrating everyone around you. Just take the right of way, it's yours! This but on a bike. I'm part of traffic whether I like it or not, please don't wait on my slow rear end to turn left before you go straight. It will only frustrate us both.

Our washing machine and drier are in a tiny closet. The (front loading) drier door can’t quite latch open because the closet door is in the way, making the drier door drift shut again and again and again while I try to load it. gently caress whoever designed this layout without testing it

My current job makes everyone watch this video during training; upon completion the trainer turns to the trainee and tells them to not do that poo poo. It’s in there because the manager is an insane person and the only one who acts like that. I love workplace training videos but it’s an unethical love. Sorry people who have to watch them!

Grevling posted:Yeah, Norway. I've wondered for a long time why this is a thing and a sociologist should get on this case. It looks like there are already sociologists on the case but I can’t access their articles  If you want to look yourself, look for articles about code switching in Nordic countries— most of the sociological texts I’ve read on this have been on the use of Spanish among Hispanic people living in the US, but it would be interesting to look at a completely different situation that produces similar results. My pet peeve is not being in school anymore apparently.

Learning to drive as an adult blows goats. I have/had a horrifying phobia surrounding it that doesn’t play nicely with ptsd and let me tell you right now, it’s nothing to be proud of. It’s barely something to be tolerated. I’m probably a lot of people’s peeve because I drive like a mean, scared grandma. I’m sorry y’all.

Oh hey I just moved into a sketchy apartment and have just started passing more often too, I regret to inform you that you now live in my actual nightmares Pet peeve: I'm still moving and I keep doing this thing where I get trapped into sitting down and sorting through assortments of tiny objects instead of just shifting the big things. I'll have a lamp and a dresser to move and instead of dealing with them directly I'm going through drawers deciding which buttons I want to keep. This is 100% an anxiety coping thing but its stupid it sucks and I hate it

The intersection near my old house had a persistent problem with it's crosswalk where the traffic in the lane closest to me would stop, so I do my little pedestrian wave and start crossing.... but the other three lanes just kept roaring on by. This is my least favorite situation: in front of a short-tempered two-ton murder machine, my destination blocked by cars going both ways, sheepishly turning back to the sidewalk. İt happened about once a month and only ever at that crossing.

Sunswipe posted:I hate that all modern electronics beep to let you know they're low on battery. The first time, fair enough. Good to know that I'm down to 20%, thanks, I'll do something about that as soon as I can. But doing it again every time the battery drops another percentage point is not loving helping. There needs to be a "Thanks, message acknowledged, don't tell me again" option. My least favorite incarnation of this is wireless earbuds that beep every 20 seconds when they hit 20 percent battery. Mmm yes just the audio spice this song needed on the last leg of my walk!

İm like 99% sure I've posted about this before in this very thread, but people in cars being nice ("nice") to bicyclists is a terrifying experience. People will see you stop at a stop sign and immediately slow to a crawl to to let you through. Come on, don't make me think about whether you're going to try to run me over or not if i take your bait! A lot of cars really treat people on on bicycles like they believe we are trying to destroy American democracy

Most youtube haircutting tutorials are deviously unhelpful, it's true. İf i had an assistant i would have no need for the tutorial. Pet peeve: the last time I clipped the sides i was kinda tipsy and forgot to put on a guard for the right side. İ clipped it down to a 1 and my hair tends to cover that side anyway, but i still know.
