People stopping dead in tight spaces or entranceways. What really gets annoying is when people stop for no reason. I've had 2 separate instances of groups of people stopping to form a queue in front of an empty escalator. Peoples conduct at bus stops tends to be especially idiotic. I've seen people stood outside in heavy rain even though half of the shelter is empty because those inside are bunched up in the back and won't move forward. The person outside might have been too shy to ask or something but they shouldn't have to. Also, no one signals a bus to stop anymore. I once watched a bunch of old people throw their hands up in the air as a bus went right past them. Well, maybe if you weren't stood 10ft back from the edge of the pavement and reacted in any way to the bus you watched come around the corner. What, are the elderly too cool to stick their arms out?

Many things about job application forms including potential employers expecting me to print them off at my own expense. What's more annoying about the one I'm dealing with at the moment is that it almost entirely consists of stuff already on my CV but would cost 3 times as much to print except for the fact that I submitted my CV by e-mail. Also, there's too little room in some of the sections and 2 of the pages are irrelevant. And this one is to be brought to the job interview which means that if they don't like what's written there then a more than 2 hour round trip as well as 1/18 of a weeks income will be wasted not including the cost of printing the form off. Oh, and my writing is slow and hurts my hand fairly quickly.

- I missed the people walking side by side discussion. My favourite example I've seen in person is of 2 groups of 6 and 3 people stopping side by side for literally no reason thus blocking off one of the widest paths there is. Another baffling behaviour I've seen is 2 separate incidents of a group of people stopping dead to form a queue for an empty escalator. - Idiots doing nothing to stop the spread of their diseases. Someone holding a tissue in front of their face sat down next to me on the bus. Thanks for the flu bitch! It's not like some of us have underlying medical issues that make that more of a problem(!)

Sociopastry posted:It sounds like she was trying to prevent the spread, though? Otherwise she would have just sneezed/coughed into the open air/on you. I described it wrong. At no point was her tissue holding hand close to her face. It was in front of her (presumably because you wouldn't want a snotty tissue rubbing against the side of your coat) and she was looking at it while walking towards my seat which is where my retarded powers of description got "holding it in front of her face" from but her arm was basically at rest so that means below chest level while standing and probably in her lap while sitting. I probably got it from her standing right behind me when I was queuing to get off of the bus. gently caress knows how I screwed that up. It's not as if I didn't read it back. Sociopastry posted:I would, however, like it if people started wearing those doctor's masks. It seems more polite to be like "this way I'm less likely to breathe my plague breath on you". I'm tempted to do it the next time I'm sick, but I'm pretty sure I'd look like a goober. I've thought of something like that but it's so much looking like a goober that would hold me back as it is causing a panic by making people think I've got something much more serious.

Applying for a job and then immediately receiving an e-mail "inviting" me to the next stage which is an online application form asking for the information that I already gave by submitting my CV. I don't understand why they don't just tell you that you have to fill out the application form to begin with. It's not like they're filtering people out. The last such job I applied for was at 11pm. The most rational (lol) explanation I can think of is that they know how annoying application forms are and are deliberately blind-siding people with them to be arseholes. Also, gently caress duplicate vacancy postings. The same job is being posted to multiple sites which will then repost to each other and will then sometimes post to each other AGAIN. I swear I saw the same job posted 9 times in a row in my search results on one website yesterday. It wasn't even one of the lovely aggregate websites. I need to learn to programming to filter this poo poo out or something.

Cleretic posted:It actually does filter people out. Entry-level jobs especially get a shitload of applicants, so to file the number down initially some people force you to jump through a tedious extra hoop. Say you get 300 applicants, but 200 of them can't be hosed filling in that application form, you've made your potential hires pool 66% smaller and easier to handle. I thought of that while I was writing the post but to due to a combination of laziness (my post writing tends to be really slow as I'm using a tablet on screen keyboard and literally one finger  ) and annoyance I really wasn't inclined to write about it. I should have done though.

Haven't encountered this in a while but TV shows with really quiet talking and loud action scenes and/or music especially if you're watching late at night. Examples: Daredevil, Babylon 5(?), some episodes of Stargate SG1. Also, Drop the Dead Donkey (not that that's been on TV for about a decade) had some seriously loud title music.

I hate that my favourite food items are often temporary. - In 2014, McDonalds in the UK ran some American sandwich promotion. One of them, the Nevada Grande, was loving awesome and by some miracle the local branch ran it again at the end of the promotion. They ran the same promotion again in 2015 but no Nevada Grande  - Also in 2014, there was this Brazilian Barbecue sauce. That was by a wide margin the best sauce I've ever had. I was putting it on a small plate so I could dip my loving pringles in it. Not only was this temporary (something to do with the world cup), but because I didn't know it was temporary, I wasted the time it was available trying out other sauces including a piss weak, runny chili sauce and piri piri sauce which I apparently don't like. - A takeaway outlet I used to order form every week had great chili sauce; smooth, spicy, very few pips, and in good portions. That changed about a decade ago along with the quality of the rest of their food. No other place does good chili sauce either. Most of it's just red grease with as poo poo ton of pips.

Lucrece posted:Related, when you apply for something, and it takes the recruiters several weeks to get back to you.

At one point I started saving the descriptions of jobs I applied for but I was very inconsistent in actually doing it and then stopped altogether when I switched from computer to tablet........and it's just occured to me while writing this that I could start using print screen on the adverts of the jobs I apply for since I often plug a keyboard in anyway. D'oh! Lucrece posted:And finally, when you get through all of the online testing and in-person interview, and they can't be bothered to spend 30 seconds calling you to let you know that you weren't successful. Or even sending an email. I really wanted that job, dammit The last piece of meaningful feedback I got was in 2009 and it told me what I already knew: that I hadn't answered the teamwork question well enough. They wanted to hear about some big loving teamwork project and I've never even encountered anything like that. I think it was a filing job that involved very little teamwork and no projects.

Murphy Brownback posted:I hate this so much. I don't run into it often, but just the other day some admin person scheduled someone to come in to give us all a mandatory attendance tutorial on Python. The guy was given the impression it was going to be just a basic intro to it, but when he asked who has used python before literally everyone raised their hand. We all use it frequently and he realized everything he had prepared wasn't of any use to us. What followed was just him awkwardly fumbling through random python functions that are pretty much of no use to anyone just to fill time. I've had a similar issue being unemployed funnily enough. The various people assigned to me often try to arrange courses that serve absolutely no purpose often in a pathetic attempt to seem useful. Sometimes they ignore all objections and put me on them anyway simply because the amount of objections I raise confuse them into thinking I'm merely a naysayer. I've been in workshops I could have taught myself with more content and in less time and I would have had the sense to provide supplementary materials. The courses that ARE useful take several times longer to teach than they should e.g. a customer service course which took 4 days to convey what could have been written in a leaflet. And, above all this is the government mandated bullshit which is a repetitive cycle of time wasting bullshit that is not only almost invariably useless but automatically overrides anything useful you might be doing yourself.

My ISP provided router resets settings every so often without telling me. I was trying to log in with my set password last night and thought something was much worse was happening. The other problem is that it resets the channel settings which makes my connection much slower. In fact it didn't work at all on the default channel before.

I'm also sick of the time wasting bullshit in many videos. - A video listing Pokemon romhacks started with 1.5 minutes of some idiot trying to be funny and then another minute explaining that Pokemon is popular! He barely said anything about them and couldn't even go from one entry to another without trying to make some stupid comment. - Another video, by PlayStation access, seemed to have several minutes of bullshit before actually getting to the list and I wound up skipping most of the video before turning it off altogether because the people therein were so annoying. I just looked up difficulty spikes on TV tropes instead lol. You know you're poo poo when TV tropes is a better alternative to you. By contrast, a video detailing 8 times the hulk was defeated managed to get through them in about 4 minutes although the repetitive use of a theme for each entry got grating it was still a far superior video EmmyOk posted:When I worked in retail my biggest pet peeve was when I'd hold out my hand for the customer to give me money and they'd throw it on the counter instead.

I was linked some kind of competitive Pokemon battling video earlier, and not only did the people have terrible voices, they were unbelievably godawful at the thing they're supposedly known for. The last 20% of the video was ads for their poo poo, too. And since YouTube has no channel blocking feature (as far as I know) you'll probably be seeing videos from this channel for a few days. Removing videos form your history does not seem to help.

I ride on the path but go slooooooow even down hills. I will only go noticeably above walking speed when the path is long, straight, clear, and has nothing that can pull out on me from the sides i.e. literally no danger to anyone because there's no one. Ultimately, journey times are barely an improvement above walking speed especially with my tendency to not even ride up hills (lol). One annoyance is people tutting at me for riding along the canal path and wanting to get past them even though it's part of the national cycling network and I'm overtaken by actual cyclists every time.

"Practice makes perfect" mostly because I don't seem to have actually improved at anything in a long time. My typing speed hasn't improved in 10 years and isn't good anyway, ditto for my tablet which I've had for 2.5 years. In some things, especially video games, any improvement seems completely arbitrary and can disappear and never come back on an equally nonsensical basis.mostlygray posted:loving focus people! It's not hard. You can play with your device while having a conversation. Device/book=eyes and hands. Conversation=mouth and ears. You have a variety of physical features that allow you to do two things at once. My grandfather could do sudoku while reading the paper, watching a soccer match on the TV with the sound off, listen to polka on his stereo, and have a conversation at the same time. Just try. It works. I used to be able to multitask like this but seem to have simply lost the ability. In fact my concentration in general has declined seriously. It took several minutes to compose this message because I was paying more attention to things I have no interest in anyway.

Speaking of technology peeves I'm sick of my tablets volume control. It occasionally "corrects" to a much lower volume and the controls themselves tend to be unresponsive as all hell. There was also a phase where the music volume would not adjust until it was playing. In this circumstance volume control would only control notification volume which I didn't want anyway.

You hear this noise machine arrive, then it is parked outside while he takes the food in, motor and music running of course, and then driving away again. Try this up to 12 times a week. ARGH!!! People who drive through residential areas with loud music on should be sentenced to death by loving rat chamber. Is there no applicable noise pollution legislation or something? Surely the police would have a bone to pick with it being THAT loud.

I'd have complained about the "How are you?" thing as well but thankfully I don't interact the same strangers regularly enough for that problem to show up anymore. There's still plenty of other pointless pleasantries to be annoyed by including "pleased to meet you" which makes no sense. Wait until the end of the interaction and say "it was nice meeting you"; it's still a distasteful sentiment but at least there's been something to have an opinion of even if you're lying. I'm sick of websites demanding information that they do not need. When I registered my Roku account it attempted to railroad me into giving payment information by pretending it was an essential part of the registration process. In fact, the account was created by just giving an email address and password and if you log in, you be taken to the payment page but this time you'll have the option of skipping it. Also, the email I keep getting advertising coding courses says to download their ebook but the linked page will not let you until you give them your contact details including phone numbers. Motherfucker just let me read your prospectus then if you have something I want you'll get my contact details otherwise you won't need them.

No one who was actually ambitious would be applying for the type of work I do, it has no room for achievement, nor does it's successful completion merit pride. Getting a lower end job is one thing but the way they try to lower your standards is disgusting.....and unnecessary.

In job interviews and adverts some things take place in a weird order. In job adverts essential criteria for applying tend to be listed near the bottom sandwiched between unnecessary organisation history and equality and diversity crap. Never mind telling me the year you were founded just get to the loving point! Try beginning an advert with the essential criteria. If you don't meet them the rest of the ad is pointless. Obviously I just scan the advert but it still gets old pretty fast. One was 135kb because they just stupidly pasted their entire application form where there's normally just a few paragraphs and, of course, there was a table detailing 35 years of the organisation's history before the person specification. Likewise, a recent impromptu phone interviewer, despite being told I was in a rush, insisted on running through a bunch of standard questions about criminal convictions, bankruptcy etc. before competency based questions rendered the rest of it completely pointless. And, if I'm in a rush I can't be standing around telling stories. This was the dumbest phone interview since the one who said "Tell me about yourself" (effectively telling me to recite the CV he had already received) 10 seconds after I told him it hurt to speak.

Another +1 for the Netflix complaints. There should really be options for that bullshit and preferably accessible in the app itself. Also I swear it used to play an episode from the beginning if your current progress was in the end credits. It doesn't do that anymore and the option to do that is in the menu you have to go back to access because of the autoplay bullshit. The YouTube app on Roku stick is even more annoying. Trying to go backwards or forwards in a video is far too slow because it takes 2 seconds to respond to a single button press and in short videos this only cause 5 seconds of movement. Trying to fast forward through longer videos would literally take minutes and requires tens or hundreds of button presses which is waste of remote battery. The real crowning achievement of the design is the fast forward and fast rewind(?) having the same functionality as the normal forward and backward buttons. Dailymotion's worse. The search gives (I think) only 7 results and none of them were from the channel name I typed in.

Hidden tracks are fine on vinyl where you might leave the record spinning on the last track but in the other formats (particularly an mp3 you might have on iTunes or something) it strikes me as a bit pointless. One of mine has something hidden at the beginning. I'd had it for a year and listened to it a ton of times without knowing it even existed. It's not even music but it's weird to have content that is virtually unaccessible.

Noctone posted:Even worse is when they keep advertising literally the exact item you just bought. Similarly, ads for job websites I've just been on. Yeah, that's what I want to see after my job search is finished(!). They follow me around loving everywhere. I'm also sick of suggested pages on Chrome. For some baffling reason you have to access a special page to turn them off which doesn't work for me. The suggestions are based on what I've only looked at once and reappear on new tabs even after I've dismissed them. What part of "gently caress off" don't they understand?

Thrifting Day! posted:When auto correct changes perfectly legitimate words for no apparent reason. I'm constantly getting this as well. My tablet is also inconsistent about correcting things and sometimes appears to be somehow resisting my attempts to delete a character typed in error. Other tablet peeves: - the volume control not responding because it is too busy trying to load the thing whose(?) volume I want to change - the back or stop browser buttons not working because it's too busy trying to do the thing I want to stop. - tabs still being there when I reopen Chrome. There does not seem to be an option to get rid of this and I keep forgetting to manually close the tabs myself.
