Wheat Loaf posted:Grown adults eating with their mouths open I was going to post this. I'm Swedish and we are very peculiar about personal space so my worst quirks that bug me are about that. People who somehow managed to get their hands in my face during a conversation. I worked with a guy who used his hands a lot while talking and while demonstrating something he had a habit of getting his hands in a 10 cm range from other peoples faces. Just the oddest things like "I was working and this thing slid down and missed my face by *this much* *swings open palmed hand past other persons face*" People who touch my food. Not actually digging into the food itself but reach into my lunchbox to lift out the water bottle or milk carton to demonstrate a point or just because it sparked his interest. Like for example when the work team are out eating and we order in sandwiches. They come wrapped in plastic and this one guy could pick up my sandwich and hold it up like "Hey check this out, roast beef and potato salad, fancy" People who try to snag the whole phone when you want to show them a picture. People who loving swipe when you show them a picture. People who borrow tools out of my car without asking. Just walking right past me to dig in there in my stuff. Yeah it's a company car and some of it is company equipment but I'm responsible for and take care of all of it. Once I worked with a guy and we were meeting up at a parking lot. As I drove up I got a phone call so I stayed in my car to finish the call before stepping out of the car. While I'm sitting there talking on the phone, the other guy walks up to my car, opens the drivers door and then just stands there with his hands in his pockets, looking at me while I'm on the phone. That pissed me off more than anything has for years and I can't even explain why. Catberry has a new favorite as of 19:28 on Apr 5, 2017 |

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 |

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 he then quizzed me on which food had and didn't have onion. I failed the quiz and that proved him right, that no one could really dislike onion, and the food he made would now contain onion where he deemed it appropriate. Sometimes I wouldn't taste it.

Pedestrians who cross the road diagonally. Like their destination is diagonally on the other side of the road. But instead of crossing the road quickly and then walking up to their destination via the sidewalk. They will instead cross the road diagonally leading to more cars having to slow down and wait for them to cross. People who at a pedestrian crossing hit the button and then cross on a "red man" anyway (because there are no cars close by). Leaving the cars waiting at an empty crossing as the pedestrian has already crossed by the time the light changes.

I once rented a spare floor in my house to a smoker and he would smoke on the balcony and fling the butts out on the lawn/stone path/garden. I told him to stop it and he said it wasn't him. Motherfucker there's only two people in this house and the other one is me who doesn't smoke. The worst I've seen is a girl I had for an apprentice once when repainting a daycare center. She would throw her butts all over the playground. But then when her pack ran out she crumpled it up and threw it on the porch. Again a refusal and "you're the only one here who smokes" The opposite end of the smoke spectrum I worked with this old Finish man who was James Bond with his cigarette butts. When he finished a pack he would use that empty pack to store his butts and then when the next pack was empty he would throw the first one in a garbage bin. Then keep his packs on a rotation like that Catberry has a new favorite as of 05:27 on Apr 26, 2017 |

Management. Now I don't mean people who perform management tasks. I mean professional management. People who has it as their profession. There are at least two types of these people. Those who go to school to become management from the start. Management "blanks" who have no connection at all to any work. People who hope that years of courses on dealing with people and leadership will see them through in a business they have no experience in. Then there are those who become professional management later on. I work construction and most management types there will be, for example a carpenter who showed some leadership abilities. Managed some projects and the crew listened to and respected him. So the higher ups make him management full time. He knows the profession and the work and so can handle it. But after he spends 10 or 20 years in this role, he gradually loses the connection to the workers and the profession. Grows distant from years in the office and turns into professional management. Or he sees a wanted ad for a "project manager" at say... a glass installment company. The pay is higher so he takes it. Because he has management experience and in a similar line of work he gets the job. Now he has no experience in that field. The workers only know him as the guy who bitches when things aren't going as planned so he never gets a proper connection to them either. The only reason I think any of this can continue for as long as it has is that the big decision makers in any corporation are themselves so distant from the workforce and management thereof. That when lower management fail to handle the workers the higher ups just accept that workers are an incomprehensible pain in the rear end that there is only really so much you can do.

People who drive slowly in the right line and then only find the accelerator when you decide to overtake them. Because some people see being overtaken as a personal slight. Except I'm driving a 20 year old Volvo station wagon loaded with work stuff, so now I can't pass them and have to get back in the right lane. With the threat to their dominance of the right lane safely neutralized. They then drift off and gradually begin to slow down again. Catberry has a new favorite as of 07:30 on May 1, 2017 |

People who have yet to embrace the GPS. These come in all ages. And I don't mean that these people refuse to use them. But that they refuse to accept that other people use them. I need you to go to place okay text me the address and I'll be there You know where smith street is? No Well it's right above minister ave. You know where that is right? No. Can you send me the address? What about the pizza pizza place on third street? No Burger king on fifth street? Yeah Okay well you drive straight past that. Then take the third turn to the right, then make a left at the pizza place and continue on that road until you see a white building, at which point you turn left. What address is that? This happens either because the other person is so old that they can't comprehend the GPS. Or they are so familiar with the city itself that they can't grasp that someone else would have trouble navigating by rambled directions.

Vaping seemed like such a great idea. It was healthier. You could do it indoors without inconveniencing people. And then people did the exact same things that got smoking banned everywhere by being as obnoxious about it as is humanly possible. Blowing "vape" in peoples faces to demonstrate that it doesn't smell bad (it does. Just not as bad as smoke). Vaping on public transportation, in other peoples cars and in the office/work place. And now vaping is getting banned in one place after another. Some countries even started regulating it in law.

I've heard a lot about "we didn't use to have so many allergies back when" Yeah you did. But a child that was allergic or had a strong intolerance to things like potatoes, wheat or dairy was just "That sickly/weak kid who died one winter" Just like they probably had as much cancer back then as we do now.

Ads went so overboard with popups, flash videos, sound effects and so on that people had no choice but to get adblockers. You would think that the natural response would be to tone down ads. Instead they try to bypass and block the adblockers. And behind all that is all the same terrible ads people started blocking years ago. Proving us right to block them.
