Or you could just tell them. There have been many cases where I have driven by where google maps says it is and either couldn't see it at all or it just wasn't there. Google maps is not infallible and sometimes detailed verbal directions make things much easier.

When you are trying to find a parking spot in a completely full lot and you find someone about to leave so you put your turn signal on and they get in the car and...just sit there. For well over a minute. What are you even doing? Start the car and move, I've been looking for a spot for half an hour.

Catberry posted:I do this a lot. I run my own business so I keep my office in the car. I wrap up the days paperwork in the car (mostly on my phone) because once I get home I want to be done with work stuff. At least wave the person waiting on then. Surely if your parking lot is as busy as I am describing you yourself have been in the position of hunting for a spot for close to an hour and should be able to empathize. If it's a lot with spaces though then it doesn't matter, sleep in there for all I care. e: also this was in florida so you'd have to be insane to want to work in your car unless it's during the 1-2 weeks that some people might describe it as being "cold".

Mu Zeta posted:Rob Schneider wasn't that bad in Judge Dredd. They hired a lot of comedians for sidekicks in the 90s. It's by far his best movie. It is also better than the newer one, but that's probably better suited for the unpopular opinion thread. Anyway, I find it pretty obnoxious when people flat out refuse to watch a movie they haven't seen just because they don't like an actor in it. I understand not liking Adam Sandler, but at least give Happy Gilmore or even Waterboy a chance. Maybe they still won't like it but it's so far ahead of his other stuff that it's almost a different actor. Maybe that's a bad example but I'm sure it happens to other better actors with people who do this too.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:So what you're saying is, even if they don't like juvenile garbage, they should watch this particular juvenile garbage because it makes you personally feel nostalgic? People have different definitions of "juvenile garbage". Anyone who can't enjoy Happy Gilmore (and nostalgia has nothing to do with it) isn't someone I'd ever want to hang out with. If you're trying to sound like the most smug rear end in a top hat imaginable, you're doing a great job by the way.

I don't know if it's the cleaning staff or if there are some kind of global office poltergeists that like to screw with people, but I swear almost every office I've worked in it feels like the height of my chair is not only always being changed, but they also change it from the no-recline mode to recline, so as soon as I sit down I almost fall over backwards. Never touch another person's office chair even if they aren't there, it's not hard people.

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. It's understandable that you had to do that, but you could have at least tried to put the chair/desk back the way you found it before you left.

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.

I guess my annoyance in that case would be more at management for being too cheap to spring for one more chair if they can't fit an extra desk for you somewhere. I still think you're incorrectly assuming everyone is as picky as you are and would notice if their chair was "close but slightly off" from how they had it originally vs "way off". e: vvv if you're looking for things that make you reasonably angry, you're in the wrong thread. If I worked where he does, it wouldn't be my problem and I shouldn't have to suffer because they hired a person they don't have room for. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 06:55 on May 9, 2017 |

Tiggum posted:I don't even know what this means. What sort of chair is this? Almost every chair I've ever seen has a thing you can push in or pull out that either fixes the back in an upright position or allows you to lean back. I'd much rather if they just left my chair alone. Again, I shouldn't have to suffer inconvenience because my management is a bunch of idiots who hire more people than they have room for. In my case there is no excuse, nobody HAS to use my chair, they just do it anyway because they are too lazy to go get a spare chair from one of the rooms that have chairs specifically for guests/etc. Even worse than you people who just gently caress up a person's workstation and leave it that way are the people at my last job who would steal my chair and replace it with a lovely one. This happened several times. After the second time I put a sticker on it so I could come in early and find it and steal it back. My entire point is "if you don't need to touch my chair or desk, don't. If you are forced to by idiotic policies, have the courtesy to only gently caress it up minimally".

Tiggum posted: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. It's where I sit 40-50+ hours a week. Why would I not want a comfortable chair, and why should I have to go hunting from office to office for my chair every couple days? 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?

BioEnchanted posted:Also where I work we have three different types of chair- one type adjusts a bit less well than my preferred type and has a different slant to the seat that I find uncomfortable, and the other is really weird to try to adjust, has a back that's way too high and a really intrusive headrest. Yeah, same here and there is a big range in quality, from the falling apart cloth computer chairs you probably remember from highschool where the back is barely hanging on to really nice comfortable ones like mine. I just don't understand where this idea that everything in an office is communal comes from. I refuse to be a passive doormat like Tiggum and "just use the different one", because they wouldn't be swapping for my better chair if it wasn't because their chair sucks rear end. There are some things that are communal like whatever is in the lounges/etc but I would never think of just grabbing stuff off someone else's desk. It has nothing to do with territory, it's just plain rude to treat someone else's desk and whatever is on/around it as yours without asking.

Son of Thunderbeast posted:If anyone on my team complained even half as much as yeah i eat rear end about having to adjust their chair back, I'd be concerned that they didn't have enough to occupy their mind/time, or that perhaps they weren't being challenged enough. The only time I actually complained was the last job I described when chairs were being stolen and replaced with broken/old ones. Besides, I could rant about chairs and desks all day at work and my boss wouldn't care as long as I was still productive. Probably only a third of my typical day is spent on actual work/writing papers, so I have to fill the rest of that time with something. I happen to choose to fill it with getting unreasonably angry at obnoxious little things that people do. and Jerry Cotton that was rude.

I think there was an acceptable transition period when those first came out where it was ok to be confused by them, but that period ended years ago.

I get more annoyed that people that just take their sweet time. looking the receipt over, individually putting pennies into the little pouch on their wallets etc. Hurry up or get in the regular line. That can happen, but at least in my experience the people who really hold things up are the senior citizens who just stare bewilderedly at the screen and need someone to hold their hand through every step of the process. The problems you describe are quick fixes as long as there's an employee available and don't really hold up the line like that.

Inzombiac posted:"It's either going to be great or it's gonna be the worst!" I think that is because of the general backlash against the (correct) idea that the "truth" is usually in the middle. Typically it is said about politics but people still jump on you for saying a movie, especially if its a nerd one like star wars/trek or comic books, was "just ok". Everyone has to have a super strong hyperbolic opinion about it either way.

Bogan King posted:It's that kind of attitude that means it won't ever go away. If men feared for their lives every time they said something stupid and sexist then maybe it would finally stop. It worked for all sorts of other crime in the USA so I don't see why it wouldn't work for this too. Most women aren't willing to take a guaranteed life sentence or death penalty to solve what most of the time is an occasional annoyance. Instead, we should place our trust in law enforcement to solve the problem. If they don't have the manpower or space to arrest and prosecute "minor" crimes like this, maybe they need more funding instead of the military.

It never seemed like noise in general was the problem there, just excessive noise. Noise is a part of living in apartments, sure, but there is a threshold where a person can reasonably expect their neighbors to stay under. If they are regularly waking you up at normal sleeping hours, it is probably beyond that threshold and complaining is warranted. Still, as you learned in your last place I think, I doubt complaining will do anything so unfortunatrly you will probably have to make do with earplugs or something.

Then I say "but my couch sucks and is very uncomfortable to sleep on and the mattress takes like 2 minutes to inflate" and they say don't worry about it, so I say whatever and they wake up complaining about how bad their back hurts.
