People who don't serve enough food so you have to eat before coming to diner. When I cook for guests I make a ton of everything and everyone has their fill and the rest become lunchboxes. But some people will make unspoken portions. Like if you have 5 adults they will cook 10 pieces of chicken. And it's so easy to tell because you will have 10 pieces for 3 men and 2 women. The 3 guys and 1 of the girls take two each. Then the last girl has a single piece and later asks if someone wants her second piece of chicken. You then have four hungry adults eying it with two guys agreeing to split half each. Or it's time for coffee and desert and they will take a spongecake and cut it into 5 pieces for 5 people. Or you go to a barbecue and they cook five hamburgers for five adults or ten hot dogs for five adults. Catberry has a new favorite as of 21:52 on Apr 5, 2017 |

BETTER SLOW THE gently caress DOWN TO TWENTY BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT DURING PEAK HOURS

People who quote that loving XKCD comic when I talk about using GPS in rural areas. This leaves pet peeve territory and enters the visibly angry zone. Yeah, the mailing address will put you at the wrong place. The listed address will put you at the wrong place. Listen to the local, you uptight yuppie shitwad.

When someone asks if you're busy, you say yes, and they pause, get this quisical look in their eye, and then start into their story anyway.

When someone says "Be careful!" AFTER you trip and/or hurt yourself. Gee, thanks, chucklefuck; whatever just happened is something I could have definitely avoided if I had just been more careful.  (I would never actually yell at someone for this; it's just a weird peeve I have.)

the grocery stores in the more affluent parts of town here are full of self-absorbed pricks who act like you're the unreasonable rear end in a top hat when you get impatient over waiting five straight minutes for them to finish body blocking the loving onion bin because apparently they need to carefully inspect all 100 onions individually to make the optimal decision one day at one of these places I grabbed a cart and rolled up to the produce section, parked it out of the way and then went to go pick out some strawberries nearby. meanwhile a Young Mother was arguing with her kid because she had let him pick a cart and he got one of the big plastic ones for little kids that looks like a car. Young Mother didn't want to bother with the cumbersome thing but instead of going back to pick a new one, she abandoned it in the middle of the walkspace, waited until my back was turned, took my regular cart, and shuffled away quickly to avoid getting caught. we were right next to the entrance so it took me a whole ten seconds to walk outside and get a new cart

Not unreasonably angry unless I'm hungover, more just thinking "Are you that loving stupid and/or rude", but I'm talking about entering and leaving the New York City subway so odds are the answer to at least one of those is "extremely", best case. People who all but press their face against the doors trying to get on, not letting people get off first. I just shove my way through these people now, seeing as I'm 6'6". I occasionally have some surly piece of human flotsam mouth off to me but again, 6'6" and New Yorkers on the subway are either all bark and no bite or "visibly mentally unwell and might either try and pee on you or stab you in the face", so I react accordingly.

It bothers me when someone is telling a terrible anecdote and their S/O interrupts them to tell me how it really happened, essentially starting the story from the start. Dawg, if it isn't funny or end with a good punchline, you're just prolonging my suffering.

People who interrupt a story to check if they know the person you're talking about. Even when this is incredibly improbable (like when the person you're talking to is 23 years old and this happened 10 years ago in a different city all together). "So I was in Spain and had dinner with a guy and.. Was his name José? No he wa... Did he have a mustache? Yes bu... Oh I know him. Pablo, cool guy but that wife of his, oh wow

People whose first words after me answering the phone are "are you in a bad place?" like yeah well you know life is hell and so on but could you just get on with your business instead of asking me stupid questions? If I was in the business of getting eaten by a bear or something I probably wouldn't answer the phone.

"You didn't reply to my text message fast enough!" My cell phone is for MY convenience. It is not for YOURS. I'll reply when I'm good and damned ready. I might be busy. I might be asleep. I might be making GBS threads. Hell I might be currently looking for my phone because I misplaced it again so I can see if anybody wants my attention.

People standing in choke points on a sidewalk. Like there's a lamppost, a newspaper vending machine or a garbage bin built into the sidewalk by this building. This is a good place to convene with three other people. You gotta get around us? There's the street, jacko! I'm not sure it entirely fits in this thread due to its connotations, but: Big, big, BIG one for me is when I use one of those polite lies to tell a guy I'm not interested and he attempts to call me on it. What is this meant to accomplish? Yes, I lied to you about being in a relationship. The real reason I'm not interested in you is because you're 20 years older than me, gently caress ugly and creep me out. You feel good knowing that with 100% certainty?

People who find themselves in a country that is not their native one and act like the locals are in the wrong for speaking their own language and adhering to their laws and customs in their own country. Like charity beggars who approach you unbidden, start jabbering in a foreign language and then look crestfallen when you reply in the local language.

What about when you're in a hotel in France at a tourist resort and the hotel desk clerk doesn't speak English so she rolls her eyes and gets the baggage handler to translate?

That's inconvenient for tourists who visit the country without knowing the language beforehand, but considering that she was speaking the local language she was not actually in the wrong. Unless it was promised at some point that the staff at the resort all speak English.

ToxicSlurpee posted:"You didn't reply to my text message fast enough!" People who call you again the instant after it cuts out due to not responding. Motherfucker unless someone is literally dying it is not worth it. I am going to call you back when get to my phone, and its annoying when the calls we both make dont go through because youre too busy mashing call. Besides mobile phones have and had goddamn call logs since the 80s. No excuses. Rigged Death Trap has a new favorite as of 21:19 on Apr 8, 2017 |

People who walk incredibly slowly in the middle of the corridor, while also simultaneously swaying side to side a bit as they walk which makes it drat near impossible to slip past them. People who don't use their turn signal until after they've suddenly braked and started to turn. Retail worker specific one: people who go through the self checkout machines and then make complaints like "I hate using these machines" or "Ugh, this happens every time!" If you know you have trouble using the machines why do you choose to go through them? It's like complaining about how much you hate getting punched in the face when you're the one doing the punching. Edit: Ah hell, another retail worker one: Customers who decide that they don't want something (which is fine) and decide to get rid of it by tossing it onto the nearest shelf, or even worse actively try to hide it behind other items. I work in a grocery store and I'll see customers doing this with stuff like meat or milk or seafood that HAS to be refrigerated. We have store employees working through the entire store, they will not be pissed if you just hand it to them. InequalityGodzilla has a new favorite as of 23:17 on Apr 8, 2017 |

People who do this in the middle of the pavement. Every time I go out for a run I see at least one of these. I'm running along and start moving into the empty space (because as a non-retard I look where I'm going and act accordingly) only for them to sloooowly drift into it, so I change direction to accommodate them and they sloooowly drift back again. Stick to one side! Also people walking along staring at their phones or their feet, or off to the side at something shiny in a shop. People who walk out of a shop across the pavement to their car without looking left or right. I've full-body slammed into people a couple of times because they've appeared out of loving nowhere. Driving, people sitting in the middle lane. Are you overtaking? No? Then MOVE OVER. I think all of these boil down to 'people with terrible spatial awareness.'

We used to have a guy come to my workplace every so often to do health and safety poo poo who'd schedule like a month in advance that he's working XYZ days. But then he'd turn up on ABC days instead. Now, if he was actually doing the whole health and safety inspection routine, that would be entirely understandable. I mean, surprise inspections are important. But he didn't. He sat around doing stupid busywork all day and spent maybe five minutes doing any actual inspecting. Like, basically sticking his head in the door at the factory, maybe asking one guy how he was doing, then leaving again so he could spend four hours carefully minimizing the company logo and inserting it into all our health and safety documents, while complaining that he doesn't understand Windows 10 and why doesn't our software work with XP anymore? When I was making a paper archive of our health and safety stuff he insisted on helping me by picking up each sheet as it came out of the printer, reading it and going 'Ahh, yes' or 'Good, good' or some other comment and handing it to me. This was easily 300+ sheets of records and risk assessments and policy

cinni posted:People who interrupt you when speaking during a conversation. Especially if its to try to finish your anecdote or story for you incorrectly. If you would shut up for a second and just let me finish, then you would realize that wasn't what I was going to/trying to say at all. Oh God, this. Especially people who say "what?" before youve finished. The worst had to be an ex-coworker of mine who would ask you for advice on something and then she'd start talking before you had even finished your first sentence. Or she would let you finish but then tell you you were wing. It's like, if youre so sure then why the gently caress did you even ask me? She recently got a new job and while I'm glad that she's gone I'm disappointed that she didn't get sacked.

When a customer walks up and talks at me when I'm in the middle of helping another customer. gently caress right off, I'm helping someone else, and you're being doubly rude by ignoring my current customer. Oh excuse me, patient, because this is medical so you're ALSO violating their privacy. Had an absolute bitch try to do this the other day where she cut in front of five others because it was "just a quick question" then tried to complain to the management. Jokes on her, my current patient was a home care nurse who read her the riot act. I can't wrap my head around entitled jerks. One of these days she's going to pull that stunt and someone in line on their last nerve will do a lot more than yell. vvv See? This is exactly what I'm talking about.
