Das Boo posted:On this note, people who ask spoilery questions when I'm showing them a movie or show. Not a self-directed musing like "Oh no, is [x] going to die?" But straight-up, directed at me and expecting a response, "Does [x] die?" I am always really, really tempted to just flatly tell them the truth. Instead I have to vaguely answer and I feel like they're all the while gauging my capacity to lie.

Not leaving the room to take a phone call. I'll turn down the music and be quiet if you just need to give a couple of quick answers, but as soon as it becomes clear that this is going to be an extended discussion, go to another room so the rest of us can get on with whatever we're doing.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:In one of my previous office jobs they didn't have enough desks for everyone and since I was the last guy hired I was designated hotdesker. Every morning I had to find out who had called in sick and use their desk for the day and since my back isn't in great I usually had to adjust their seat and I quite often had to adjust the height of the desk as well. (The desks were adjustable so people had set them to all sorts of different heights.) I'm pretty sure everyone hated my guts because of that but it's not like I had a choice, if I tried sitting in an incorrectly adjusted chair for 8 hours I'd be hosed. This went on for months and months. yeah I eat rear end posted:reclining on or off. yeah I eat rear end posted:I don't know why "try your best to leave things that aren't yours as they were when you found them" is such a controversial concept.

If you're getting territorial about a goddamn office chair, you should reconsider your priorities. Someone adjusted your chair? Adjust it back. Someone swapped your chair for a different one? Get your chair back or just use the different one. If it's broken, get it replaced.

I have better things to do with my time at work. How would you feel if someone swapped your brand new 30" work monitor for an old 15" one? Is my mouse and keyboard fair game too? I mean, you can just go get a different one no problem right? Why be territorial about tools you need to do the job you were hired to do?

WampaLord posted:I'm starting to think your problem is having very good hearing and not having loud neighbors. Someone running their bath shouldn't be waking you. I don't know about "good hearing", maybe just being incapable of living around other human beings. People make sounds. If you live in close proximity, you'll hear some of those sounds. If you can't tolerate that, go live by yourself in a cave like the crazy hermit you are obviously meant to be.

People complaining about unusual or unusually spelled names is obnoxious and makes me unreasonably angry. They're just names, people! They're almost entirely irrelevant, and having an odd name is not going to negatively influence anyone's life. Get the gently caress over it.

If you are older than 13 get on the loving road. Where I live there are a lot of shared bike/pedestrian paths. One side of the road will be an ordinary footpath and the other will be shared. Dickheads still ride their bikes on the pedestrian-only side.

Che Delilas posted:One technique that's handy in everyday life is to adjust the numbers so that you're working with tens. For example, 48 + 17. 48 is close to 50, so to get there you do 48+2. That 2 had to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the 17, so 17-2 is 15. You now have 50 + 15, which is 65. I don't see how your way is any easier. If I want to add 48 and 17 I just think "8 and 7 is 15, 40 and 10 is 50, 50 and 15 is 65." Seems like whichever you've practised is going to be the easier option, and since my way's basically the same as how you do it on paper, why bother learning the other way for when you want to do it in your head? I'm certainly not visualising a piece of paper or anything like that.

People who act like not breaking the law is somehow the obnoxious or inconsiderate option. If someone's driving under the limit, that's a reasonable thing to complain about, but if you're whinging because you're being forced to drive at the speed limit because the person in front of you is, the problem there is you. Just drive at the right speed and reach your destination about half a minute later. It's really not a big deal.
