Agreed.  I hate the ones that bike on the road and then on the sidewalk so they can ignore whatever law is convenient.  If they are on the road, I will treat them like a driver and make sure they are safe.  If they are on a sidewalk, that's fine too and I will treat you as a pedestrian.  Can't be both.  Pick a set of rules and I will play by them.

Voice changes while on the phone. Women's voices go up, the guys' voices go down. Super annoying if you are with a person you know well, listening to them do their fake voice to the unknown rough rider on the other line. I'd say it occurs in ~80% of people and I really hope I don't do it.

I bet you do it. We will find out soon enough.

Yeah that's not what happens numbnuts. I'm not bragging that my kids can retrieve a tennis ball or bark at the UPS guy. It usually goes more like:

"Good morning CF3, boy you look tired today!"
"Yeah, lil' CF3 got sick so I didn't get much sleep."
"Oh I totally know how that is! If Smuckers gets into the trash and eats a bandaid, he really has a hard time sleeping, so I'll softly sing to him until he can calm back down in his kennel. We put him in his kennel when he's sick even though he sleeps with us most of the time. Do you sing to your kids when they're sick? If I sing to smuckers he'll sleep really well and be back to chasing squirrels around the backyard in no time! He loves chasing squirrels and bunnies! What are your kids interested in?"

Few of my pet peeves: (Work Related)

*Worked at a grocery store throughout high school, then sometimes work there during summers to make a little extra cash.

-People who ask for paper bags. It's awkward to bag and carry out.

-People who bring in their own heavy duty bags then tell me to not make them, "too heavy." No matter what you're going to be carrying all the same amount of weight.

-People who bring in used paper/plastic bags. No, just, no.

-People who are on food stamps and use it to get really good food and any food they want, then drive a really nice/expensive vehicle. BS

-When people get the smaller shopping carts, but them fill them until they're overflowing, we have bigger carts for that crap.

-Oh, you guys close in 5 min? Let me come in and take my sweet ass time to get a big ass list of groceries. I didn't want you guys to close on time anyway.

-Well maybe I shouldn't get this candy bar. Let me put it right here by the rough ridin' bread Because I'm too lazy to put it back where I found it.

-here, let me bitch at you how you are out of this kind of pop or chips, because you're out of it even though you guys aren't in charge of stocking and keeping track of it.

-you got a cart full of groceries and had them checked out and now have no way to pay for them? Thanks, I'll have fun unbagging them and putting it all back on the shelves.


There are a lot of positives I enjoy of It too though! Those are just a few, "pet peeves."

Most content on this site is complete crap, I go in laser focused on a particular thread(s), which makes unread button worthless
I use the PRINT button and then sit at my desk with stacks of paper in front of me like I am working real hard. Then, I write out my responses and scan them into my computer. From there, CUT AND PASTE!

Sidenote: I get super annoyed with people that mess up song lyrics to the point of absolute destruction.  Chick I dated thought "don't go chasing waterfalls" was don't go Jason Waterfalls.  Dumped her.  Another girlfriend thought "I Believe in Miracles" by Hot Chocolate was really "I believe in Malcolm" and the song was centered around Malcolm X.  She thought "you sexy thing" was tied to his unique stance on segregation.  Dated her till she gave a handy to my brother.  Him and I are hand Eskimo brothers for life.

"Is baby drinking too much or too little expressed milk?"

Like, WTF is this crap?  Have we crap out kids and our brains at the same time?  Is it too hard to put "your" in front of baby?  I don't get it.  First noticed this in the delivery room.  Nurse be like:  "This monitor is for baby....this is baby's nurse....we want to make sure baby is okay...."   :curse:

People who misuse "of" in place of "have" should be publicly shamed.  It's so rough ridin' stupid I don't even know how it became a thing.  Not sure why I remember this but on one of those standardized tests from grade school one of the multiple choice options for completing part of a sentence was WOULD OF or WOULD HAVE and I remember thinking "What kind of a dumbass thinks it's WOULD OF??"  I knew the difference in 4th rough ridin' grade and anyone in 4th grade or beyond should know the difference too.

Puni's example of supposably is also puzzling, like where in the hell did the B come from?

It's pretty easy to explain, actually.  Many people write how they speak. The scurrilous "of" comes from the way "have" sounds when part of a contraction (would've, could've), and often times supposedly is pronounced supposebly because it is difficult to pronounce a 'd' sound followed by a 'l' sound, since they are practically identical in terms of how your mouth produces the sounds.  This results in a glottal stop, which slows down speech.  Since speaking patterns tend to follow the path of least resistance, many people subconsciously swap the 'd' for 'b'--a phonetically similar consonant but one that is much easier to transition to 'l' from.

Yeah I understand the thing about pronunciation but just because it sounds like you're saying WOULD OF doesn't mean you should type it out that way. For crap's sake have some standards.

Also I'm not sure I get your explantion for supposably but since you're this board's resident cunning linguist you're probably right.

Post by: Spracne on March 11, 2015, 12:21:00 PM
expecially, expresso, aks (ask), excetera are generally markers of a lower socio-economic background. It is natural for a child learning a language to substitute a more familiar sound for a less familiar sound.  "Ex" sounds a lot like "esp," with the former being much more prevalent due to it being a Latin prefix.  Usually these mistakes are pointed out by parents or friends and corrected at a young age.  However, if your parents and friends also make the same mistake, then it never gets corrected and in fact seems totally natural.  These traits are passed down through generations in these particular speech communities.  Somewhere down the line, groups of people started mispronouncing it and no one bothered to correct it because they didn't know any better, and speaking correctly simply wasn't vital to their livelihoods.  These groups of people would have had little or no formal education and worked manual labor jobs.  They all had kids who inherited this speech trait and it went viral.  It is obviously an oversimplification, but this is how regional dialects form. 

I'll bet that everyone here could reflect on speech patterns they inherited growing up that they later realized sounded incredibly regional/hayseedy.  Many (most?) people who matriculate to a University and/or become a professional actively work to remove these markers from their speech.  Ironically, many of those same people later integrate regional/hayseedy features into their speech in order to project or feel a sense of belonging in a community.

Definitely - I actually went all the way through college before I realized that human and Houston had hard "H" sounds at the start. I said "Yew-man" and "Yew-ston".

yeah, I said "worsh" growing up, and I remember correcting an adult who said "wash" when I was like 5 years old. Ha!

My dad also says days of the week with an "ee" at the end of them - Fri-dee, Satur-dee, etc. I thought the Tim McGraw song said "right as rain on a Thursday cornfield" even in college. It didn't make much sense.

cf3, i think maybe we've discussed before but do british soccer announcers particularly annoy you with how they handle plural/singular stuff?
It doesn't annoy me but it's very strange.
Title: Re: Pet Peeves
Post by: Spracne on June 04, 2015, 11:33:12 PM
I mean, an announcer could say "Kansas City is Driving" or "The Chiefs are driving" and mean the exact same thing.  Both subjects refer to a plurality, even though the former is singular in form.  I like the spirit over the letter approach.  A less controversial example would be "staff," which is often (correctly imo) treated as a plural noun in American.

pet peeve- when people use the the daylight savings acronym when it's actually standard time and vice a versa.  often done in work emails when discussing possible meeting times across multiple time zones.

example- "let's plan on meeting on july 1st, at 3:00 pm CST" 

obviously i can figure out that 3:00 pm CST is 4:00 CDT but gmafb why not set it up in BRST or SBT and let me do that math if this is some sort of time zone challenge?  :lol:

Well the pants I have on right now have fake back pockets. But there are also women's pants that have fake front pockets.

I'm not talking about small pockets, I'm talking about there is a fake lip of the pocket (whatever it is called) on the outside but actually there is not even the fabric on the inside that creates the pocket.

First of all I never pass bikers if they are riding in the middle of the street. Second there have been times where a cyclist has been on the right side of the road and they just swerve left onto a side street without signaling.

I get it guys bad drivers make all drivers look bad. I'm just saying the cyclists that are bad riders make all of them look bad too. Let's just move on.

possible explanations:

2. MARY is a bible or otherwise historical character

3. RIP MARY :(

what don't you understand?  It's just our fictitious representation of how many times around the sun we have obtained.  your birthday just signifies that you have completed that many "years"(revolutions) and are starting your age + 1 years of life.  which is based on a fictitious way of counting our perceived time in this universe.

my point was there is no such thing as time, it is relative in our understanding of it.  we use our clock system based on oscillations of an atom, which is what we perceive but is not the governing essence of "time" in the universe.

in the context of using it in place of "use" or a synonym. I do think utilize has a somewhat distinct meaning that is of use in certain technical forms. It's abuse rate is high, people think more syllables means more smarter.

So over the weekend I ordered some seat covers for the second row of my whip since that's where the dog chills. Anyway I order them off a large auto accessory website and everything is cool. Yesterday and today I get a voice mail from them asking me to call them back for order confirmation. Wtf is this bullshit? I confirmed the order when I rough ridin' paid for it (which has already been taken out of my account), just send the motherfuckers

Sorry I don't have genius kids that can put multiple tiny candies in a tiny slot and keep them from getting sideways and then having to start over because one got sideways and you can't pull one out without pulling at at least half of them that are not sideways.

i don't think you can call an entire neighborhood a pet peeve. its more like "when Carol in shipping/receiving leaves the half and half out on the counter in the break room"
Fair. Have you noticed how bad of drivers there are in the area? Is this a real thing or do I just envision myself as an easy target with my new car?

Speaking of pet peeves. Brookside drive by KC Bier is a giant crap show after 5 PM. They double park on the sides and make it hard for traffic. There's been several complaints and a petition and still nothing. I saw a guy get hit on his bike because of it. It's going to kill someone.  :frown:

the word "American" in the title of a movie/tv show when it has clearly been put there only because the producers could not think of a title, so they just made it
"American + <word(s) that describes the genre>"

american horror story
american crime
american gangster
american psycho
american sniper
american assassin

the american part does not mean anything at all. they just want to put the other word(s) in your head so you know what genre the movie is, but you can't just call a move "gangster" so they add "american" in front of it and boom done. drives me nuts.

note: this does NOT apply to titles where "american" is necessary:

american pie
american history x
american beauty

My coworker sits across from me and yells on the phone when he gets excited, when thinks things are going well with the candidate. He then stands up and starts walking around and it gets worse. He's a baby new grad, so I get it, but he has no consideration for his surroundings.

We were out having lunch on Saturday and when the waiter came back to check on us and how the food was I said: "It's a great! (while doing this)  :thumbsup:". Apparently I do this all the time when wait staff comes to check on us. I also tell them how great they are and apparently when I finish my plate real fast, I say this a lot when they ask how it was: "Just awful. Can't you tell?  ;)". Apparently being a server in the past has made me way over the top nice to the waiting staff and annoying.

Why is it that it takes women like five minutes from the time they open the car until they actually put the car in gear and start moving.  I mean, I can open the door, get in the car, put my seatbelt on, start the car and be gone in like ten seconds.  Women get in, fuckass around until your next birthday, and then decide to move.  I guess the same applies when exiting the car.  I stop, put the car in park, shut it off, get the eff out and take off.  They seem to want to wait until the engine cools before exiting the vehicle.  Could someone shed some insight on this?  @Mrs. Gooch?

When riding a motorcycle and you approach an intersection where you have right-of-way, and a doofus rolls through the stop sign without even looking at traffic coming from your direction.  Don't they know that a collision for the motorcyclist will end very badly?  It's not because I'm invisible, I ride with hi-viz helmet and jacket, these jerks are just too lazy to look before entering an intersection.  I actually spoke with an idiot that did that, and he said "I saw you, I was going to stop"--couldn't tell by the dumbass look on his face.

I don't recall a person who identifies as female calling me "bud." I'll need to think about that some more.

Lately, I've had a couple of males (roughly the same age as me) call me "bud." Now I'm wondering "Am I the type of person who gives off a vibe that invites others to call them "bud"?" This is is really unsettling the more I think about it...

the reason why it became a known as a "podcast" is because people used to listen to the shows from their ipods, which was a rudimentary device from the early aughts used to listen to digital media.  then the portmanteau term, like so many, became entrenched in our social conscious and outlived the humble environment that spawned it.  pod.  cast.  pod + cast.  it's great and much better than its early alternatives like, "netcast" lmao

One of our client's regional managers used to send every email flagged as High importance along the word CRITICAL in the subject line.  We eventually had to tell her that if everything is CRITICAL, then nothing is CRITICAL.

Uh, you're smarter than this. I'm "staff" level, but this was just one of those ridiculous schemes for a company to spend millions to renovate the floors, add loungy areas, and think they're getting everyone (no matter the level) to not recluse and be more teamworky and inviting to convo/collaboration.

Now people try hilariously bad ways to make their spots closed in w/ the tall dry erase boards, filing cabinets, etc., though.

Thus, I'm quite happy about having a door when I have to be in the office.

don’t tell me that it’s for visual appearance either because that doesn’t fly

Like 10 years ago I went to lunch with a coworker who asked that the pickle not come on her plate and it came out on the plate and she FLIPPED THE eff OUT, like on the verge of tears because pickle juice touched her sandwich. It's stuck with me, it was pretty uncomfortable.

Even if you're lucky and they didn't infect the food, just getting those disgusting things off the plate is an ordeal. First you have to get them far enough away that you can't still smell them but also if you pick them up then no amount of soap will scrub that pickle stench from your fingers

Another pet peeve regarding vehicle sounds is whenever a police car is on screen or possibly just in the area there's a quick little siren blurt that lasts about half a second.  It's the same generic stock siren sound used on every crappy TV show.

Guys. I have one and only one pet peeve. Like, if I'm on a web browser (almost always mobile) and click something and want to then immediately click something else right after the screen starts to change, often the page content will resize or reposition just as I'm attempting the second click and cause me to click on something that I didn't wish to click on. So, then, I have to wait to go back a page from this page that I did not want at all in order to click on what I wanted when I really didn't want to have to wait on that page to fully load in the first place. I do not like it AT ALL.

Second, much worse pet peeve: my rough ridin' next door neighbor’s landscapers running the rough ridin' snowblower and shoveling their back patio area at 1:45 am last night. Standard lots here are skinny and deep, so this was approximately 25 feet from my bedroom window.

When you're at the store wanting to buy some paper towels and you just want a little twin pack but they're out of those so instead you have to buy a 16 roll jumbo sized pack and have to lug around something that's half the size of a hay bale.  Same concept applies for toilet paper too.

during the last bout of shitty weather i counted four cars pulled off onto the left shoulder of interstate in one day. i don't think this counts as a pet peeve since it's a crime against public safety but i about stroked out when i saw a vehicle put their blinker on and do it. i thought about ramming into them.

There's been a lot of change at my job since the new CEO came in, but I think what's driving me the most insane right now is my new grad baby squawk coworker taking advantage of our new loose "work from home" policy. He's the only person I know who owns a Jeep and lives 3 blocks away from the office and can't make it to work after an inch of snow. Now that our Manager has left for another opportunity, he barely checks in. We're going to lose this perk and I'm gonna want to choke him out.

if you drive a truck and you have to park between 2 cars, most spots you can't turn into without having to back up to straighten out.  then backing out of those spots you run into similar situations in tight parking lots.  much easier backing in and then pulling out (that's what she said).

got to stress a word somehow :dunno:

it's always with some motivational quote which is even more annoying.

i think "The harder you work for something, the Greater you'll feel when you achieve it" = psycho

vs "The harder you work for something, the GREATER you'll feel when you achieve it" = just a dumb person (i've definitely done this before though)

Fun fact - I'm in Sales and we have subscription to website called Zoom Info(?)

Anyways I can find about 75% of XYZ Company employees contact info on there. It scrapes emails along with LinkedIn etc to identify their title/email/phone etc. I looked myself up in it and they had my employment history (from LinkedIn) and my current title/phone/email (from scraping emails) correct.

So maybe they are just a big shot and don't want a sleazy sales guy getting their contact info.

I wait a full 2 seconds, it’s not confirmed yet, I say “Thanks” and walk away.

What does this MF do... at a QT in MF OP!?

He goes, “Sir can you wait until it clears!?”

About 374 milliseconds later it clears. I have my mask on, he gets the dirtiest look I’ve ever given a human being.

Agreed. I know it's frowned upon to travel right now, but we did two trips this year where we felt like we could social distance from others. The beach and the mountains. Places to hike and places to stay through family.

Sometimes you miss an onion and you feel the crunch when you chew and then your whole mouth is filled with onion juice and it doesn't go away for an hour (#petpeeve). It definitely makes me appreciate the times I didn't miss an onion.

Also just wanted to point out you are advocating against ordering made to order onionless fried rice because it’s a “critical part of the dish,” while using as a counter example McDonalds’ online system which lets you order a quarter pounder with cheese without 1/4 pound beef and without cheese.

haha very true

i bet the chefs at mcdonalds would be pretty offended if anyone ever tried that

why would you think a family-run chinese restaurant wouldn't take pride in their work? Or do you think the work done at a Chinese restaurant is the equivalent of a McDonald's assembly line?

you don't think people at mcdonald's take pride in their work? also, do you really think a family-run chinese restaurant would rather have seven take his business elsewhere as opposed to just making some stupid fried rice without onions for him.  they are onions. it's fried rice. that family is running a business so they can pay a mortgage and car payments. will he get an eye roll? maybe, maybe not. but i guarantee they'd rather make it for him then have him go somewhere else which is what you recommended he do. we aren't talking about the french laundry or gary danko here.

Topping off fluids with an oil change should be agreed upon as part of the service or not requested.

Quote
Keeping your fluids topped off between services is important to your vehicle and to your peace of mind. Our top off policy helps provide this piece of mind. With every Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change, we provide complimentary fluid top off service on vital fluids including motor oil (the same type of oil purchased originally), transmission, power steering, differential/transfer case and washer fluid. Just stop by within 3,000 miles of your service mileage and we will top off up to 2 quarts per fluid, as needed.

https://www.jiffylube.com/auto-services/fluids/fluid-top-off

The option to take a little more off is a standard part of a haircut, so all good.

guacamole

this is definitely the closest but the lime juice macerates it a bit (when I make guac I soak the onion and jalaps for a few minutes before mixing in the rest but I'm sure not everyone does this)

still I think guac qualifies as a topping

I get the term “provider” a lot from a n00b who has way too much power in one of my regions & he doesn’t understand the landscape that he entered into (or ignored it) and he’s super condescending and the whole field talks about what a joke he is. It’s awkward, but if he treated ppl better, we probably wouldn’t feel bad about his eventual demise. He’s a jackass.

Have we talked about cereal boxes, ITT? It really pisses me off the way they are no so tall and skinny that they fall over under their own weight. Also, they only put like 11oz of cereal in the box - used to be 18 or 24 oz when I was a kid. Also, when people open the bag inside the cereal box and tear the bag down the side so he cereal doesn't flow neatly out of the bag.

thanks, I had to get that off of my chest.

I think a pull thru can be great. Gives much better viz when you leave. A few months ago, I was parking my car (the normal way) at Academy Sports. This guy with a massive, jacked up pickup was backing into the stall in front of me. He kept getting closer and closer. I honked because I didn't think he saw me. He got out of his truck and said "backup cameras work, bud" and went inside to buy some Under Armour camo gear. I was so ready to punch him in the face.

Don’t really have a dog in this fight, but I do feel that for most people with the backup camera with the little guidelines on it, backing into a spot is just about as easy as pulling straight in.

Of course then you lose the benefit of the camera when leaving the spot, so for me it’s a wash.

We have like 4 of those plastic cereal containers which work great because my kids would leave the boxes opened and the cereal would get stale. My pet peeve is that the ones I have are a bit too small for the large boxes of cereal so we always have bags of random cereal with just a bit in them in the cupboard. Use up the bag cereal first stupid kids!!!!

That's a great idea because another problem with cereal these days is that the bags inside the box tend to rip down the side instead of opening evenly across the top which can lead to a low quality cereal pour.
My kids hate to eat the last bowlful of cereal in the box because it has too many crumbs and is mushy.

People who just incorrectly use/don't look at your status on teams, or just call you or interrupt you out of the blue with no like "hey got a sec, I really need this but it can wait until you're finished" IM sort of thing if it is important. Rarely, if ever, do you need to call someone out of some sense of emergency for work.

Like getting IM'd about trivial/unnecessary things during the middle of a call, or just ignoring the "red" or "presenting" icons for said trivial or unimportant stuff that can either wait or just send me an email to answer at my convenience. It's distracting and inconsiderate.

It usually always ends up being the same type of person, one who poorly plans their work, or doesn't care or think about how their actions impede on another person's time. If I need to IM someone I always try to lead with a "when you got time" or similar so I can sort of "reserve" time to talk to you, but also acknowledging that hey, you probably got something going on at that moment, so don't feel like you gotta drop what you're doing to come take care of lil ol me.

Title: Re: Pet Peeves
Post by: cfbandyman on May 26, 2021, 05:32:19 PM
I don't use teams but can't you just turn off IM notifications?

Yes, but like there is not a good way (that I know of) to selectively block notifications for like if I'm on a call already or something, the kicker/killer is when working from home, my company decided to do away with phones all together, so teams is the phone. And while I don't want to answer a bunch of crap if I don't want to, I am obligated to to answer "my phone" at work, which is teams now is.

My issue is much more with the fact of respecting trying your best to not like, impede me during busy/meetings/do not disturb times. It makes me feel old AF but at least when I started until basically this pandemic I don't ever remember having that much an issue with someone waiting til I was done in a conference room or even if online to talk to me. Now it's just inundation, no matter my status or what I'm doing and a decent amount of it can easily wait. Are there sometimes you need to get a hold of me cause it's important? Sure, but like, you don't need to ask me what to charge something to right this second, or what color this should be, or etc etc. It's less a notification issue as it is "read the room" thing.  Unless your crap is paramount, just back the eff off and take a number.

IM is like way more casual than email. I cannot imagine being distracted by an IM when I don't choose to be.

I send IMs when people are busy or DND because I know that they can look at it at their convenience later.

I guess calling may be different, but I guess I dont know what you cannot just ignore it.

You are obliged to answer? They don't trust you to decide for yourself when to answer the phone or not?

I have a desk phone, a cell phone, and MSTEAMS. If I am on a teams call and my desk phone rings, I don't get pet peeved.

I probably have a different kind of job tho. Maybe bandyman only interacts with people who are MSTEAMS power users?

Rather than share the screen I just share the application that had the content I’m presenting. UNLESS it is a somewhat informal call in which case here’s what you do, foist, you set your wallpaper to an embarrassing photo. Next, you share that screen, but make sure you have the spreadsheet or ppt or whatever up on the screen. Next, you move your mouse over to your other monitor or your ribbon at the bottom. This will temporarily cause your screen to just show the wallpaper instead of what you’re presenting so everyone can see your funny embarrassing photo and it will seem like you did it on accident oh man it’s great

Have we covered various forms of corporate-speak (for lack of a better term) in this thread? For example:

"We are introducing new workflows" translates to "we are going screw up the process that has been working perfectly well for you and make your job more painful and tedious"

"I will loop them in" = "I might talk to the person I manage who is effing that thing up for you and make them stop"

"does Employee X 'feel empowered to ask questions'"? = "do you think this person knows when they have no idea how to do a vital function of their job?"

Also, recognizing people who are coerced into extra work (because of inadequate staffing) as "great team members" or any kind of "family" stuff if it doesn't refer to an actual family member.

I'll post more examples as I come across them.

If I need to IM someone I always try to lead with a "when you got time" or similar so I can sort of "reserve" time to talk to you, but also acknowledging that hey, you probably got something going on at that moment, so don't feel like you gotta drop what you're doing to come take care of lil ol me.
As someone who blocks out giant chunks of my day for “steve dave time” I just assume everyone else is as well.

I would urge you to not let someone liking something you like become a pet peeve. Like what you like!
Ha. I was JK. It's ok. I'm a huge bagel and cream cheese fan. I'm kind of a connoisseur you could say.  :fatty:
I like bagels but rarely get them because they are terrible for you for the most part. Love getting them when in NY. I've heard Meshuggah is good. If not them, what is the best KC place? Mrs SF loves bagels.

Agreed. I only do them like once a week. I like to put an over easy egg on top of mine too. There really isn't a lot of great bagel places in KC tbh. Meshuggah is probably the most dedicated to the craft and I'm pretty basic at times and love Panera Asiago bagels. There's a few hole in the wall places downtown and by the river market too. City Market Coffee is one of those.

Does every stadium need a nickname? Seems like they've been rolling out a lot of crappy stadium nicknames in the last 2-3 years. I just heard the announcers for TTU vs TCU refer to TTU's stadium as "The Jones." I'm okay with "The Horseshoe" or "The Big House" or "The K" but I think they've taken things too far with "The Jones."

Unless I have complete and total access to the back of the TV it is nearly impossible to get the damn thing in the slot.

pet peeve: large groups of famous singers sharing the stage for a song, mainly when they all sing at once and everyone is trying to put their own spin on it. I saw a photo of this and it made me think of it

Like, you told me this position needed filled ASAP and you haven’t responded to candidate emails in weeks, but try and blast recruiting for lack of candidates (cc’ing our CEO) when you won’t answer the phone or respond to an email.  :curse: Monsters!

Just curious, for the purpose of this thread is a pet peeve an umbrella term for anything one finds to be annoying or tedious? Or is it a specific behavior or process that could potentially be corrected?

If I’m driving really late at night or really early in the morning and I am approaching an intersection and as I approach the light turns red and then I sit at red light for what feels like an eternity while literally no other cars go through the intersection…I mean I can’t really ask the traffic light to stop doing that, so it seems like more something that I find annoying. If I hear someone saying “a whole nother” then yes that’s a pet peeve bc if I felt so inclined I could go correct them (but I probably wouldn’t bc that’s some petty ass crap right there)

ngl that is pretty much my everyday. The guy one chain up probably sits at 100 minimum/day. I am just always curious what some people think is "a lot", 50 is not light but also not like insane. I counted my yesterday for example at was at 78, and like you like 50ish of them were stuff from document control/project management site that are auto generated letting you know thins came in/that went out etc. About 10 actually mattered.

That is the word. I hate calling people as much as any millennial but I'd rather talk it out than try and guess at wtf you're wanting.

Title: Re: Pet Peeves
Post by: cfbandyman on February 23, 2022, 03:43:57 PM
That's shitty too but it goes back to poor communication crap.

IMO knowing when to use an email, talking in person or phone, or IMing is a balance many just simply don't get.

At least if I need to call I always IM the person and say "hey can you talk" "or give me a call when you have time" if it's important but not urgent.

Like people who don't look at your status on teams and IM you when you're presenting or in a meeting and apparently oblivious to the fact you're presenting/busy, and need you to drop your crap to come help them. Like, take a sec and determine if that person can even talk to you. Younger people at my job at THE WORST at that.

I guess the email thing is more hot in my mind because one of the young engineers for my main client is horrible at this. His emails are mini-dissertations that often don't have a point or the point gets lost in a lot of words (also, real giant pet peeve, he never addresses anyone in his email, he just starts off with "Hello" and then goes into it, as if I or anyone else in the email aren't worth even mentioning, it's so goddamn impersonal). If he just emailed or IM'd us and would be like "hey, I'm not fully understanding this or would like to talk about this, can we set up a time to discuss" it'd solve so many problems but instead he just hides behind his keyboard, and we're left trying to actually figure out what he's trying to get.

It's about knowing what is best way to communicate and when to use each one of them.

His emails are mini-dissertations that often don't have a point or the point gets lost in a lot of words (also, real giant pet peeve, he never addresses anyone in his email, he just starts off with "Hello" and then goes into it, as if I or anyone else in the email aren't worth even mentioning, it's so goddamn impersonal). If he just emailed or IM'd us and would be like "hey, I'm not fully understanding this or would like to talk about this, can we set up a time to discuss" it'd solve so many problems but instead he just hides behind his keyboard, and we're left trying to actually figure out what he's trying to get.

It's about knowing what is best way to communicate and when to use each one of them.

Kinda sounds like this young man has figured out the game, to me.

That's shitty too but it goes back to poor communication crap.

IMO knowing when to use an email, talking in person or phone, or IMing is a balance many just simply don't get.

At least if I need to call I always IM the person and say "hey can you talk" "or give me a call when you have time" if it's important but not urgent.

Like people who don't look at your status on teams and IM you when you're presenting or in a meeting and apparently oblivious to the fact you're presenting/busy, and need you to drop your crap to come help them. Like, take a sec and determine if that person can even talk to you. Younger people at my job at THE WORST at that.

enjoy deciphering his emails then. I've worked with tons of clients and no one comes as close to making it as hard as possible to understand what he's talking about then him

He once wrote two paragraphs that essentially said "Yeah, this will work." Just say that. Clarity in my work can mean the difference between literal life and death so, you know, be clear.

I also receive 50 emails a day some days. Those days are some weekend days, Christmas, Thanksgiving (Day), and the Fourth of July.
I totally understand that the number of emails is not at all overwhelming or too many compared to other jobs, but when I am leading classes for most of my day it is a lot to try to keep up with. Especially when I have other meetings to attend on top of the main responsibilities of the job. The emails have significantly picked up in recent years and I think this email inflation is because The people that produce most of the emails have office jobs that seem to mostly consist of producing emails.

Of course not, as we have talked this out I think the thing that triggered me was this middle management type at our building that saw my inbox while I was running a meeting/taking minutes on teams and commented on it and said they were an inbox zero person in a tone of voice I didn’t appreciate. So maybe that was my actual pet peeve.

I think because it's used by someone who I work with that isn't very specific about what they need advised on. It's like "Xyy happened. Please advise." Uh, advise on what

But generally, the body of the email should say what you need and "Please advise" should be unnecessary.

E-mail closings can be hard but usually are meant to impart politeness. Sometimes if you just ask somebody to do something and that's the end of the e-mail, it can come off as curt/rude. After thinking about this all day, though, I'm pretty sure I always opt for better closings than "Please advise." Still, "When are you going to get me that thing?" seems colder than "When are you going to get me that thing? Please advise. Thanks."

"Please advise" just seems curt and realistically is a the result of a bad lead-up in a an email. Like if you need direction on something you should start the email after formal address with the "Looking at xyz we can see there is an issue, so we need to get this resolved quickly and I need your input before proceeding" or something like that.

Then you end the email with when you need it done by.

"Please advise" reminds me of a guy at work that all he does is use ASAP all. the. time. For literally everything. Sometimes that's warranted but 1) not everything is that important and 2) it leaves actually the power in the hands of who you address. My as soon as possible might be next week, or next month or next year.

I mean it's obviously not written for the dog. It's for an adult human on their way to get a latte!

I will say there are a bunch of signs aimed at dogs not peeing in the little fenced sidewalk gardens like this:

Some are slightly obnoxious but I can see dogs actually doing damage to flowers and the signs aren't as infuriating overall so I let it slide

Yep. All these things (mostly Cinco de Mayo and St. Patty’s) can dip into the offensive, but most people just like feeling like they’re part of the fun.

I have a love-hate relationship with cutesy names for employees of a company (and like the cringier the more I love them)

Quote
Long post alert.
TLDR: If you were impacted by the layoffs yesterday at Cameo my full time job for the next 2 months is to help you find a new role. Please let us help you.

To the world: Yesterday we reduced our Fameo by 87 people. The four executives who left- Rob Post Emily Boschwitz Nundu Janakiram and me- all wrote themselves into the list in order to save more members of their teams and in recognition of the readiness of the teams they had built to face the work ahead of the company. All of them are smart, courageous, and caring leaders, and they will land in spectacular roles.

The lesson I learned again yesterday is that applying your company values really does matter in everything you do. We put the lens of Roll out The Red Carpet and “personalized and authentic” on our RIF plan, and it helped make a terrible day a little more palatable.

To the remaining Cameo Fameo: I am your CPO for life. I believe in the business to wow those you love. I am still the biggest advocate for the disruptive opportunity and access that Cameo for Business provides. And I know that your leadership team will use this experience to fuel their already strong desire to win.

To the new Cameo Alumni: When Steven Galanis asked me to delay my job search in order to help you with yours, I yelled YES immediately. We will be using my Cameo email and the Cameo Alumni Slack channel to communicate with you- please reach out to Chas Jhin or to me for access if you don’t already have it. Take the time you need to be sad or mad or disappointed, but let us help you find your next role. You are all too talented not to be giving your expertise to the companies who need you.

And finally to the Cameo People Team: I am so grateful to you. You have put so much heart and brainpower into everything we did for the Fameo- everything to Strengthen the Fameo, Work Together Better, and Keep it Cameo. As I told Kristen Clemmer last night, my biggest disappointment is that I am not going to get a front row seat to watching her lead this incredible group. You will always be my people- please keep in touch.

I'm the opposite of that person almost to a fault.  I stress when I feel like I'm making other people wait.  Like if the coffee was coming out really slowly and there were people behind me I would just fill it up halfway and then come back later when there was no line and fill up the rest.

I think I might just be inclined to sidle right up next to burgeoning barista (bb) and start getting my coffee.

This is going to be a super random one, but the more and more golf charities I play, they ask us to take pics like this before teeing off:

Why is this a thing? I'd rather have a pic one arm hugging my bud before tee off, with a boulevard wheatie in my hand. This seems so weirdly formal to me and who ever started this trend, annoys me.

I'm in my early 30's. The same age Jesus (known single stud) was when he died. We're both single by choice, although for different reasons. I just don't want to be in a relationship at this time. Respect my decision. (I could pelt circles around your ass, btw, even if your wifey weren't in the picture.)

My wife doesn’t use “Cook Time” on the microwave. She just hits the “Plus 30 sec” button 4 or 5 times then takes it out when she feels like it. When she takes it out she doesn’t press “Clear” so our microwave constantly says “0:13” or “1:45”. Next time she needs it she just hits start. I want to say this belongs in the efficiency thread, but she’s constantly under cooking or over cooking so she’s either taking out/putting in multiple times or is waiting for it to cool. She’s never developed the ability to look at something, touch it to see how cold it is, then be able to gauge how long to set a cook time.

Man I tell ya what really pets my peeve…when a box of cereal is opened/stored any way other than how I do it.

what is your approach

Glad you asked, kk.
Let’s start with the opening of the box. Open with care. Tab and slot integrity is paramount.
Next, opening the bag. Really no need to open it more than 1/3 the length. It will pour fine. No Need to pull that bad boy open end to end like some mongo.
 Next, don’t roll the bag closed after. I mean unless you know you aren’t opening it back up for a while but if that’s the case just like, get a new box of cereal.
And finally, closing. Insert tab A into slot B that you took care to preserve when opening the box the first time.

My wife doesn’t use “Cook Time” on the microwave. She just hits the “Plus 30 sec” button 4 or 5 times then takes it out when she feels like it. When she takes it out she doesn’t press “Clear” so our microwave constantly says “0:13” or “1:45”. Next time she needs it she just hits start. I want to say this belongs in the efficiency thread, but she’s constantly under cooking or over cooking so she’s either taking out/putting in multiple times or is waiting for it to cool. She’s never developed the ability to look at something, touch it to see how cold it is, then be able to gauge how long to set a cook time.

I open the bag 100% or greater. The very practical reason for this is that I will eat 90% of the contents dry with my fist.

1. I'm not upset. It's a pet peeve.

oh man this reminds me. i flew back from orlando on friday on swa.  well, I sit in bulkhead of course for the additional leg room and boarded a-list.  my carryon fits swa’s measures but only fits overhead the long way, otherwise the latch on the bin won’t close.  well along comes this geezer, probably pushing 100 years old.  he decides he’s wanting the middle seat in row 2, across the aisle and one back from me. this son of a bitch goes to move my carryon so to make room for his bag and can he barely get it turned because he’s so old (while the flight attendant who had a jamaican accent is yelling to him over the intercom that my luggage needed to be left alone because the bin wasn’t going to close.  he just ignored her, I looked at her and she looked at me and we both lmao at him.  she came and moved it back and put his bag somewhere else. i just continued to lmao. what’s your problem bro, are you addicted to that bin?  finished watching s11 of curb on the flight

I am now staunchly an anti Bluetooth speaker hiking trail guy.

Should be shot on the spot. I can't imagine the chaos these people inflict on the lives of others off the trail.

What is the thinking here? Is it, I like these jamz and I feel that everyone else should hear them too? or is it, I prob shouldn't have earbuds in in case a bear is following me, but I still want to hear my jamz?

Best way to attract bears, any real hunter/hiker knows bears love to dance.  Just watch out if they tap you on the shoulder and want you to dance with them.  That part is fun until the dance is over because bears love to celebrate with a tasty meal.  :horrorsurprise:

Funny you say this. Here in Minnesota, I'm frequently walking from the gym or my office at night and when I do I take my ear buds out, blast music on my phone and use my flashlight as a strobe, to try to scare the bears and wolves, both we have here.

An autonomous Social Riding EV designed to promote in-person interaction.

The Agora E concept envisions the future of public mobility for Hong Kong and the densely populated cities of Southern China, whilst promoting in-person socialisation with a design that invites conversations and meaningful interactions. The clean exterior silhouette maximises internal capacity (up to 10 passengers) and minimizes bulk, making it ideal for commercial use in busy urban settings. The large glass panels allow for natural light during the day and unobstructed views especially at night.

The interior design presents a continuous, circular seat where passengers face inward leaving an open space in the middle available for standing passengers, a wheelchair or luggage. Recycled and upcycled materials are used throughout the cabin, minimising the environmental impact of the product.

Designed by Ponti Design Studio.

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people could have fed for the price of that airplane...

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.

That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.

Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

The drop-off at my kids school is sending me through the roof every morning. You are supposed to form 2 lanes and then merge to pull in front of the school and drop off. Every morning these dumbshits form one giant lane that stretches into the street and complete ignore the merge cones at the end. Yesterday the line was long as crap and I normally just get in line because that is what everyone does. I said eff it, so I made a second lane and stopped at the merge cones next to the car in the front line like you are supposed to. The school lady gave me thumbs up for not being a dumbass.  :gocho:

My very nice neighbor's very cute dog likes to come and romp thru our yard when he goes outside. Normally this is only mildly irritating but we just reseeded the lawn and his giant paws are churning up the damp soil. Also, one of their chickens seems to have been killed by a predator of some sort in my front yard so now there is a bunch of white feathers on my lawn. They are otherwise great neighbors and their dog is otherwise awesome so I feel bad being mad about this but I'm also feeling hypervigilant about the wellbeing of my baby grass.

the idea of people merging before the last possible moment is kind of enraging but I also look at it as an opportunity for me to zoom past the early-mergers. Somewhere (maybe Europe?) I saw an explicit sign to merge at the end zipper-style but the midwest is notorious for getting over like a mile early.

yeah, i've read similar things. Americans are just a bunch of dumbshits that like to wait in long lines for some reason. I had moved up before when the lines were shorter and it was no big deal. It was hilarious yesterday though because the line was huge and everyone saw me do it and not one person followed me. it just doesn't make any sense. There are even cops there a day or so a week and they yell at people for not forming 2 lines, yet as soon as they aren't there, one giant as line. its bizarre.

Oh man. I had drivers ed at my tiny HS and we actually had one of those cars with a brake on the passenger side. To pass the class you also had to have a certain amount of riding time with others. One day I was riding in the back and this girl got in the drivers seat. It was like she had never been in a car before. She had no idea where anything was or how anything worked. The first time she backed out, the teacher told her to ease on the accelerator and she rough ridin' stomped its and threw us all forward. He started screaming at her while stomping on his brake. He told her to stop and hit the brake and she literally put her head under the steering wheel to look for it. I told him I was never riding with her again and he could flunk me if he wanted.

This prob going to go into a deeper discussion but I always wonder this too. I just got a coffee and it is a self serve. She flipped the payment thing to me to add a tip. I almost always leave something, but still think its weird when I basically do everything myself. The coffee one really annoys me because the choices aren't a %. The first option is $1, so my $1.85 coffee that I had to get myself is now $2.85.

Studies have shown that the mere existence of a tip line or tip prompt will get people to tip, and I think that’s what’s going on here. I struggle with this as well. I’m more than happy to tip for good service, but there comes a point where it’s like okay you have done the minimum amount of work to allow this business transaction to take place I’m not sure what I am tipping for.

I give $1 for takeout, unless it's like a whole company order or a lunch and learn for students and then I tip 20%.

Was asked if I wanted to leave a tip for a carryout pizza the other day. What are everyone's thoughts on that?

This prob going to go into a deeper discussion but I always wonder this too. I just got a coffee and it is a self serve. She flipped the payment thing to me to add a tip. I almost always leave something, but still think its weird when I basically do everything myself. The coffee one really annoys me because the choices aren't a %. The first option is $1, so my $1.85 coffee that I had to get myself is now $2.85.

No way am I tipping anything on a self-serve coffee.

I honestly have no idea how I tip for that. I’m guessing barely anything since I usually order through an app and I’m definitely not paying like 10 or 15%. Maybe a few dollars.

come out with official north pole wrapping paper. Every year a unique design with a seal of authenticity that indicates the item contained herein was wrapped by elves at the north pole. we spread the word around to all the kids, and just like how kids just know to blow on the nintendo game they will all just hive mind spread the word of the official north pole wrapping paper.

Then obviously we charge an ourtageous amount of money for this wrapping paper. got those poor parents by the short and curlys. bwahahahhahaha

also idk if i've said it before but i'll say it again: when people back in (or pull through) into parking spaces that have 1-way aisles. Not only because we all know they aren't going to make the 135 degree turn when they leave b/c they will just drive the wrong way down the aisle, but also because it creates confusion for people who aren't necessarily great and comprehending if an aisle is indeed 1 way and if so which way (i admit i make that brain fart from time to time unless their is a big arrow indicating the flow of traffic) and so then more people go the wrong way down the 1 way aisle b/c they see how people are (stupidly) parked.

And he's nursing the one he drives the least back to life, and just that low ass rumble is booming into my living room for the last hour, not minutes, hour.

I have a neighbor who is a nice guy but when his friends come over, they insist on parking their vehicles across the street from my driveway. Not technically illegal but there are tons of places on the street to park that don't put me at risk of smashing their car when I back out of my driveway.

When I was in college and came home for the summer there was a point where me, my sister and my brother all had cars. 3 garage spots were used but that left 2 cars that had to park on the street. It was just for the summer, and the cars moved every day. And our house was in a cul-de-sac so we weren't directly across from anyone's driveway.
Nevertheless, it was like, a whole thing. We had neighbors leaving anonymous typed letters in our mailbox, and one time a car belonging to someone who lived on the other end of the development parked their car in front of our house bc that definitely helps

I am just used to immediately having to turn the wheel to avoid the two or three cars that on right behind me for his house when I back up. It's annoying, but not as annoying as how loud and crappy 2/6 cars he has are.

Man I tell ya what really pets my peeve…when a box of cereal is opened/stored any way other than how I do it.

what is your approach

Glad you asked, kk.
Let’s start with the opening of the box. Open with care. Tab and slot integrity is paramount.
Next, opening the bag. Really no need to open it more than 1/3 the length. It will pour fine. No Need to pull that bad boy open end to end like some mongo.
 Next, don’t roll the bag closed after. I mean unless you know you aren’t opening it back up for a while but if that’s the case just like, get a new box of cereal.
And finally, closing. Insert tab A into slot B that you took care to preserve when opening the box the first time.
I open the bag 100% or greater. The very practical reason for this is that I will eat 90% of the contents dry with my fist.

know whats easier to get your entire hand into than a cereal box? a bowl. Just pour it into a bowl, you monster.
I got triggered by this again over the weekend. Cereal packaging is so messed up these days. My smallest and I love LIFE cereal. She used a pair of scissors to carefully open the bag because if you try to pull top of the bag to open, it will rip down the side instead of opening nicely, then, there isn't enough of the bag left to roll down to keep the remaining cereal from getting stale. Then, all the cereal settles to the bottom of the bag, causing the stupidly skinny box to deform and bulge so that it is too unbalanced to stand and the flaps won't like up and snap shut like they are supposed to do. I don't know who is responsible for messing up cereal boxes but it infuriates me.
Title: Re: Pet Peeves
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on January 23, 2023, 02:53:53 PM
Reading this i've got half a mind to just march on down to bed bath and beyond...possibly the container store (if necessary) and just get those tupperware style containers to keep cereal in. I have not looked into these in a long time but last i recall the pour flap thing on the lid was not particularly great. its been several years so who knows, maybe they have innovated and pour flap is better now.

Only other downside is that i'm pretty lazy as is, i'm struggling to see myself committing to taking the extra step to transfer the cereal from the original box to a secondary location but ya know what sometimes you got to be the adult.

this is where i'm at. I always felt that cereal should go directly from box to bowl with no intermediary steps. Never fully trusted those bulk bins of cereal that Food Services used at KSU. Seemed that the cereal was needlessly crushed and mangled by the time I would get it.

So this morning I took him on a special daddy breakfast.

He told me that Santa likes taking breaks from making toys.

And that Santa sleeps in a house because it's too cold at the North Pole.

He hugged me 6 times.

And looked me in the eyes and said

The old me would have said,

Reading this i've got half a mind to just march on down to bed bath and beyond...possibly the container store (if necessary) and just get those tupperware style containers to keep cereal in. I have not looked into these in a long time but last i recall the pour flap thing on the lid was not particularly great. its been several years so who knows, maybe they have innovated and pour flap is better now.

Only other downside is that i'm pretty lazy as is, i'm struggling to see myself committing to taking the extra step to transfer the cereal from the original box to a secondary location but ya know what sometimes you got to be the adult.
this is where i'm at. I always felt that cereal should go directly from box to bowl with no intermediary steps. Never fully trusted those bulk bins of cereal that Food Services used at KSU. Seemed that the cereal was needlessly crushed and mangled by the time I would get it.

people who - when discussing something that either happened a while ago, or will eventually happen in a while - look at their watch. Like in that 3 second glance at your watch did it really tell you that Memorial Day was still 4 months away?

SSOC raises a valid point. you fill it from the top, you pour it from the top, there is really no reason that the cereal at the bottom would ever find its way to the top unless you made a point to shake it up real good when it was about half full.

The other solution would be to get one of those hopper things like you see in hotels where you put your bowl under the hopper and then turn the little dial/knob and the cereal falls out the bottom. But "solution" is used generously because its just crumbs that fall out first. just horrible

we use these for like 4 different kinds of cereal and they work great. The only issue is that we get giant costco size cereal sometimes and it all doesn't fit in the container so there is like a week or so of a bag of cereal in the cabinet too.

1. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it. That’s why it’s a pet peeve.

2. It bugs me because it implies that having a child was a necessary condition to whatever enlightened perspective you now have. Like childless people won’t be able to empathize with your point of view.

For example, it doesn’t pet my peeve if someone says, “before I had kids I didn’t realize [how expensive nannies are or whatever]” cause it implies anyone could have realized it, you just didn’t until then.

Yeah, I don't really get this one either.  I think that there are some things in life that one needs to experience in order to fully comprehend the gravity of the situation.   I am the oldest of six so I had quite a bit of experience in raising kids but there are emotions and perspectives that I  never felt or realized until I had a child of my own.

When youre sitting at a red light at an intersection that does not have a protected left turn lane and the guy in front of you doesn’t turn on his left turn signal until he’s in the intersection. I would honestly really love to know what motivates ppl to do that. Like why couldn’t you have provided me that information when we were sitting at the red light?

Absolutely correct.  But it makes me feel like I'm doing my part to sort my recyclables out of my trash...even though I know almost 100% that it's all going to landfill no matter what.

If you are married to Michigancat, you may just want your hunky, brilliant husband to explain the best time to leave so you can stare at his gorgeous blue eyes and not have to pay attention to the words so you can focus on just locking in to lust mode.

Adjace but it pets my peeve when my travel companion does not share my preferred level of risk. Like for domestic flights, I like to be walking into the airport an hour before takeoff. For my MIL, for example, she would prefer to be at the gate 2 hrs before departure. So if we ever travel together then it’s like okay do I sit around in the airport for an extra hour and a half - chasing around a toddler - or do I get there closer to my preferred time but deal with the palpable nervous energy bc we’re cutting it waaaaaaay too close? Truly a Sophie’s Choice type situation

Compromise and hit the security lines 2 hours before. It's skewed to the MiL side but your side creates far more risk and anxiety than you having to be a parent for an extra hour introduces.

well just to clarify, i was going to spend that extra hour "being a parent" - whatever that's supposed to mean - either way, the difference is doing it at home or in a densely populated public setting that i have no control over.

I must be the most irritable person on the planet because I really can't stand like everything that gets posted here. This one isn't a pet peeve for me because when anyone travels with me, airport arrival times isn't democratic. I'm driving and we're going to arrive when I say we're going to arrive. Don't like it, tough crap. I understand people have high airport anxiety and don't mind sitting at a gave for 2 hours, my time is much more valuable than that.

On that note, in 2023, airports need to be much better about listing current security wait times, it isn't that hard. When I went to Orlando last week, literally the day before I left the DSM airport sent out a press release informing the public that anyone with early morning flights should arrive 2 hours before departure, because of long security lines, which is quite a departure from normal here. I follow their advise and arrive two hours early and the line was long, but it only took 20 minutes to get through as opposed to the normal zero minutes.

Ironically enough, Orlando now does put security line times on their website, the only time I missed a flight because of security lines was there, 5 years ago when I was in line for 2.5 rough ridin' hours, they didn't have security line times then.

to my knowledge i have not seen this feature implemented, although i know we have the technology, but like, they should have the speed of the windshield wipers modulate with the speed of the vehicle. I used to drive a 2003 chevy blazer and the volume on the sound system would do that so I'm pretty sure if they can do it w/ speaker volume they can do it w/ windshield wiper speed.

When the gas pumps are full, there are 7 open spots in front of the store & people that just filled with gas leave their car at the pump to slowly rough ridin' stroll inside rather that pulling into a spot in front of the store.

Also, when there’s 2 pumps in a row & someone stops at the 1st pump instead of pulling through to the 2nd pump. 90% of cars have the gas tank on the drivers side.
These are good but that last part is not true at all

Spray deodorant and deodorant body spray aren't the same. I use spray deodorant, 72 hour degree with antiperspirant, although I'd never dream of using it once every 3 days. I'm nearly 47 years old and would never use Axe because I take actual showers.

“Power Walkers”

I don’t know the correct term for this, but it really bothers me. As a large person (wide shoulders, etc) I am almost always courteous and considerate regarding making space for other walkers and passersby.

Often I’m taken aback by how many people do the complete opposite. Almost daily I have several interactions where if wouldn’t have given way there would have been a collision.

when i was in high school i had a passing period that i had to go through the library which kind of made for a pinch point. Anyway, there was this guy who i had literally never met or spoken a single word to, and he was going the other direction during passing period and he would come up and shoulder check me. The first couple times he won b/c i wasn't expecting it and didn't realize i needed to brace for impact. After the 2nd time i realized he was doing it on purpose so I would just check him back. (He was also like 3 inches taller than me and probably had at least 20 lbs on me so, ya know, physics).

I actually saw him at a party a couple years after graduation and at this point i'd still never spoken to him, but we were standing in the same conversation circle. So I asked him why he decided to shoulder check me during passing period every day. he was like, "i don't even remember doing that...but, it does sound like something i would do."

Pretty much. 9/10 when I hear someone use it, it is because they can’t express (or don’t understand themselves) what they don’t like about something, yet they insist on expressing that they feel negatively about it.

“Cringe” has been working its way to the top of my list, although paradoxically I can’t think of a better word to describe how I feel about it.


I usually can’t stand “basic”, but it’s also the best adjective for what it applies to. I’ll use it with my wife & thats it.

Basic is very much not a thing anymore, is been replaced

mid

Basic & mid are two very different things to me. However I’m old & may be using each incorrectly. I hate the term, but “basic” to me is an extension of the old “basic bitch.” In Oklahoma “basic” to me is the guy at the casino on a Friday night dressed like every other guy at the casino because that’s what guys at the casino wear. And by casino I mean Oklahoma casino.

“Mid” is a place or thing or a description of how average someone is at something. The original use of mid of the wrestler using it to describe Skyline Chili at a show in Cincy is perfect. Another example is Taco Tico. I like it because I grew up on it, but it’s mid Mexican fast food.

I definitely like “that being said,” or “that said,” but I’m a bit of a rogue when it comes to writing. I always leave the full palette available when spinning prose.

I’m sure I’ve posted my hate for this previously; with that being said, “with that being said” is the worst.

Ha, I use that quite a bit. Mostly as I am inundated with questions and I try and assuage whoever I am talking to that what they thought was the way things are, are in fact not that way.
You should endeavor to remove “being” from the phrase. Just an extra word that makes it passive voice and makes everything terrible.  Being said? You just said it!

How about just "But ..."?

"With that being said" is terribly inefficient writing/speaking. It should never be put in writing, but I imagine people use it in speaking to buy a few more moments to collect their thoughts before proceeding.

FTR I definitely don't use it in emails or other such writing, it's pretty much just a verbal thing I do to, as mentioned, is just a phrase used to to let whoever is distracting me I hear them but don't care to hear them/reasoning for something. It almost always proceeded by "I understand what you're saying" or "I hear what you're saying" and a long list of confirming crap and then "but with that being said do XYZ, not ABC."

I would totally understand it being a peeve though

I can only speak for myself, but I find it totally fine as a speech artifact. Just not the full form of "with that being said" in written form. But I agree with cat about "That said, ..." being acceptable in writing. I've done it, and ...

Hard disagree here. Peanut butter should just be ground up peanuts. You basically turn the jar upside down for a day then stick in fridge and its mixed for you. Brand name frankenbutters are rough ridin' gross. 

SF pet peeve #6,743. Can we stop adding rough ridin' sugar to everything? Here are some crushed up strawberries that are naturally sweet anyway, but we added 247 grams of sugar to make them really rough ridin' sweet to spread on top of your mutant butter. We probably added some corn too and we have no idea why we even do that at this point.

I've actually spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I think the Brits have the better of the argument. We say "Dallas is ..." but "the Cowboys are ..." even though we're referring to the same thing--a group of individuals. Ours is a slavish devotion to form over substance.

Again, you're following form over substance. As my colleague mocat pointed out in another thread, would you say "that group of people are sheep" or "that group of people is sheep"? The subject is group--a singular noun. But the spirit of the subject is inherently plural. So let it be with Kansas City.

That’s a good one. The parents with the insane chairs at soccer I find very annoying. I just stand 90% of the time and I don’t care if other people sit, but the 4 feet wide rocking chairs that people rush to plop down right next to the sideline crowding the teenage linesmen are kind of disgusting.

I pulled the trig and bought a nice chair for soccer but I try and not infringe on the sideline.

Yeah, these are both really good ones. The seat savers are the worst. Notice this a lot at vacation resorts. "hey, I got up at 3 am and put towels on this entire row and then went back to bed for 6 hours, why are you in my seat?"

The recording too. My kid was on a soccer team a couple years ago and this mom would video almost the entire game on her phone. I always hated sitting near her because I would be afraid one of my stupid comments would get caught on her recording. Even saw some weirdo record the entire month end assembly at my kids school last week. Its just a stupid thing they do every freaking month and this guy recorded the whole damn thing smiling the whole time. I always wonder what % of people actually watch the stupid crap they record. Apple has to love the crap out of these people. "You have exceeded your iCloud storage, please pay more for the 8,000 videos on your phone that you have never watched".

Yeah seat savers are a big time pet peeve.  At the resort I was just at in the DR they had their staff going around the pool area yanking anything off the chairs and loungers before 9am.  lol

This reminds me of the time a friend told me about what he witnessed at a XXX movie theater.  Seems there were two older ladies seating next to this fat old man.  The lady next to the old guy says to her friend that the guy was jacking off.  She says "Let's get out of here!", but the gal replies "I can't, he's using my hand!".  So seed 7, I agree.

If I were king, all clothing sizes would have a highly regulated margin of error only. A rough ridin' large t shirt is a rough ridin' large t shirt. 30 whatever pants are 30 whatever pants. I'm convinced this all happens just so you say eff it and go in to stores and try crap on. Like 90% of my tee shirts are large, but every once in a while, I'll order a large and get one that goes to my knees, or if I know they run big, i'll get a medium and barely get my neck through it. Same with jeans, I'll try on 10 of the same rough ridin' size in the same brand and they all fit different.  :curse:

Yep, these people are just insane. I now pick up my kids a couple blocks away from the school so I don't have to deal with these maniacs. Watching people unable/refusing to follow the most basic instructions in the pickup line made me boil every single day. Our school literally had to paint a line through the entire parking lot because people were too stupid to form 2 lines and kept blocking the street.

Its 105 today and my kids are walking a few blocks to the car. Sorry dudes.

My dog will pee on command but poops wherever he pleases. I'm not a dog behavior expert but I'm pretty sure he is obsessed with pooping where the scent will reach other dogs. He sneaks into middle of street where the poop will be most elevated or stops in front of houses that have dogs (especially dogs that bark loudly) to make his deposit.  It is like a religious obsession for him.

I suppose now that I think about it, the people I hear say it are always those really nervous travelers that like, have 3 copies of their boarding pass printed out and get to the airport no less than 3 hours before their flight and act like they are going to miss their flight until they are at the gate.

And that person I just described is a Midwesterner like 999 times out of1000

Those things are a menace for those of us with gray hair.

Also, drivers that are too stupid to adjust their headlamps. At 25', they should not shine above the centerline of the lamp.

Stop blinding us old geezers and fix your damn alignment.

When i was flying home from visiting the fam the guy sitting behind me was a total nervous ned and he was very loudly giving a play by play of all the reasons he was pretty sure our plane was effed and there was no way we were going to be taking off b/c some weird sound the engines were making or the cockpit door still wasn't closed or a myriad of other things and i just found him to be an annoying little beta but my wife was listening to him and starting to get anxious and if my daughter was old enough to understand what he was saying then she probably would have gotten nervous too, at which point i would have had to turn around and say "hey can you keep your total loser thoughts to yourself? you're making everyone extremely uncomfortable and nobody wants to hear it"

FTR the flight took off and landed on time, and if there were any problems with the engines or systems or whatever then they did a really good job of hiding it or fixing it.

how is signal or fb messenger different than groupme or band? the reason we have to use groupme is because text groups can't be over a certain number of people or something. like you max out on a baseball or football team because there are a shitload of parents, many split households so you get like 4 parents per kid. basketball it could possibly work.

I drive up and down lamar every day for work and there is a person that drives an E bike on the exact same commute. What really grinds my gears is you will pass them then when you get to a stop light they will take their bike on the sidewalk, get in front of everyone at the stop light, cross the street in the crosswalk then get back on the road ahead of you.

Sometimes I will end up passing this person multiple times in a couple of miles and it's infuriating...stay on the road or the sidewalk.

I nearly accidentally killed a guy who was riding his bike in the middle of the road on Iowa street in Lawrence…it’s a fast 4 lane road.  A van was in front of me and I could not see around it, and at the last minute the van violently swerved to miss the bicycle rider…I guess the van wasn’t paying attention and the bike snuck up on him due to going so slow. I had very little time to miss the bike, and I was rough ridin' with the radio not paying attention. It was really close.


I’ll add that the biker was doing his whole don’t tread on me I am a dirty hippie with full rights to ride down the middle of the road thing.  A death wish.

The vast majority of cyclists pay just as much as you in road and sales taxes. Most of the cyclists that you hate are middle to upper income, and they drive the same roads as you with their vehicles (83% of cyclists own vehicles).

Only 68% of transportation revenue is funded by fuel and vehicle taxes in Missouri.

So tax the cyclists is a dumb argument unless they're going to build infrastructure for the cyclists.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240128/4dd8451e26b3afc64fb83f560e41c73f.jpg)

Finally someone brave enough to mention the poison thing, if I’m being honest that thought has been living rent free in my brain for years

Yeah, he took what I was going to say.


I think it would be awesome if all sidewalks on major streets were improved to be twice as wide, and we asked bicyclists to use those.  Walkers can get out of the way.
I've seen quite a few cities converting sidewalks to multi use pathways. Even those bumpkins in Louisville have done it.

Bikes on the road should be illegal

I'm late to the party but I completely agree. Unless it's practical to have a designated bike lane, then I'm all for that.  2,000 lbs of metal and bikes just don't mix. I'd gladly pay more in vehicle registration to help build bike only infrastructure, just don't mix it with vehicle use.

What if we just banned giant pickups instead

There is an old man who goes for walks on my street when the weather is nice. He is always smoking a cigar with one hand and carrying a container of water in the other hand. From a distance, the cigar smoke is pleasant but I agree that smoke in confined spaces is gross.

Also, when I was a kid, there was a man who would stand along the sidelines at our high school football games smoking a pipe. It smelled really nice in the cool fall air.

This almost feels like it could be a jumping off point for an episode of Curb but here’s the scene:
So my preschool daughter gets invited over to her bestie’s house for a play date along with some other kids.

We show up at like 2:30, fully expecting to stay for a couple hours then leave. Well the kids are having a great time and suddenly it’s like 6:30 and they ask if anyone wants to order pizza. Mrs BAC is celiac but she is also very particular about restaurants she is confident truly understand how cross contamination works, but she didn’t want to be the stick in the mud so it was just made abundantly clear she wouldn’t be eating, and it’s fine this happens all the time it’s no big deal.

So our hosts order some ‘za — a large cheese, a large roni, and then a large vegetarian like mushroom and ricotta thing that nobody else was interested in and was clearly just for them.

So end of the evening and my wife says to our hosts “let me know what we owe you for the pizza and we’ll Venmo you” to which our hosts then send out a group text requesting $25/ea.

So I’m thinking like holy crap, I had 2 slices, my daughter had 1, wife had 0, how fancy of pizzas did we order?!?” I go to the webbed site of the pizza place and the price of a large pie is $23 (obvs that doesn’t include tax or delivery) but damn we’re like picking up ~1/3 of the tab.

So like, I get the basic math…3 families, 3 pizzas, split it 3 ways. But like…the other family was mom,dad, and their twin girls eating, so like 4 ppl vs 2 from my fam.

I didn’t protest and promptly Venmo’d the $25, but I was like damn, first off nobody else but our host family wanted that mushroom pizza, they were the only ones who ate it, they even said before they ordered “oh good we’ll have some leftovers for tomorrow” and also 2 pizzas would have been plenty for everyone there, as they had a full pizza leftover with the shroom + roni + cheese.

So not only did we treat our hosts to a pizza but also we ate literally half of what the other family did. And to be fair to the family with twins they did not suggest the even split of the tab.

I dunno was this tacky of our hosts or am I overreacting? Like it honestly wasn’t about the money at all, it was about the gesture. We were happy to chip in, especially bc dinner was not really in the original scope of the playdate since things ran long. But I dunno if I was the host I would have been like “well for starters, nobody else wanted the mushroom pizza nor was the 3rd pizza even necessary to feed everyone, so maybe we don’t ask our guest to subsidize that cost. Second, clearly the BAC family only consumed half of what the other family with twins had, so rather than send out a group text you could text everyone individually to ask them to chip in a more representative amount”

The more I thought about it, I was like man if they would have asked for like $7 less dollars I don’t think I even would have given it a second thought. Like $18? Sure whatever. But man this was definitely one of those times when I had the proverbial bowl of soup but was expected to pay the same as the guy who ordered the filet. Gears thoroughly grinded.

Oh and not that it matters…but our host’s home…I would conservatively estimate is worth 3-4x what our house is worth on the open market right now.

A pro-move is to bring a bunch of booze. Like, multiple bottles of wine, a 24 pack, a bottle of whiskey, etc. Then at the end of the night when you're packing up you can leave an appropriate amount of booze to pay for dinner.

They didn't provide anything? Take home all of it.
They had burgers and hot dogs? Leave like 6-12 beers.
Pizza? An unopened bottle of wine.
Steaks? An unopened bottle of a more expensive wine.

Do you think the host was tracking everyone’s pizza consumption? Or they should have weighted the split cost based on family members? I’m really not sure what alternative you’re expecting if the cost is going to be split (honestly I don’t like asking how much I owe  as the guest OR being asked as the host).

It's very stressful ordering food for a large group if you do it well! When I'm doing it I try to accommodate any dietary needs and be cognizant of different budgets while being as transparent as possible about how it's split up.

Good guests/parties seem understand this and I've never had anyone hesitate to pay me (except one guy who thought there were more people than were actually there and thought I was ripping him off one time).

 IMO the real foul was the host didn't try to find gluten free pizza for the wife and I'm kind of annoyed by you for being annoyed by the money and not failure to accommodate your wife

If this is important to you, I would say in the future make your expectations clear. “Hey we’re only going to eat 3 pieces total so order as much as you want but I can only drop $15 on pizza. If that’s going to throw things off we’ll bounce and do pizza next time! Thanks for hosting!”

Ok I feel the need to clarify here. It is/was not about the money. It was 100% about feeling I was getting taken for a ride. Nobody was expecting the host to be charging per slice, but I dunno when it’s 4 toddlers and 6 adults just hanging out in the back yard it seems like one of those things you could/would passively notice, much the same way you would notice if someone was just absolutely throwing down and like, eating a whole pizza by themselves.

Second, regarding them not making accommodations, it was honestly fine. My wife is very used to it. There are so few places that she feels safe to eat at, and of those Im not sure if any of them deliver, but ultimately we were not planning to stay for dinner in the first place, it was just supposed to be a chill hang that ran long bc the kids were having fun, and ordering pizza was very much a fitting choice.

Last, and I think maybe the crux of the issue, is that if not for our daughters being besties we would not likely have any occasion to run with these people. Like we get along just fine but other than our daughters we don’t have all that much in common.

The people we consider friends are not nearly so transactional. Like if there is a cost associated with what we are doing there is no expectation for immediate remuneration.

Ok, there is another important detail I forgot to mention. These ppl are stingy. Our kids’ birthdays are close so when they were 2 they suggested a joint b-day, which we were excited about. It was agreed we’d each buy whatever and then square up after. Cool. Well, this lady was floored when my wife told her how much we spent (and we lied and said we spent way less) bc she was fully expecting to be owed money and when they were even…things were tense. Like for a few months. The next year we were surprised they were willing to do a joint bday again, but this time we ran everything by her first before making a purchase, and it was a much smoother experience.

Folks were talking dozens of dollars here. We couldn’t believe we were even keeping track of a budget in the first place but it was important to them so fine whatever. The point is, these people like to be square. If they feel they are owed money, they want to be made whole. If the roles were reversed and we tried to pull the “everyone pays the same” she would have blown her gourd.

So when they offered to get pizza, my wife and I looked at each other like “crap this will get awkward if we don’t square up immediately. Interest begins accruing immediately and comes in the form of hostility. So my wife brought it up as a way to keep them from getting upset. While spending reasonable amounts of money is not important to us, we understand it is to them and were trying to be respectful

My opinion is that you experienced the cost of having children, which is sometimes you're going to be strategically interacting with people you have no other connection to. By absolute definition, yes, you slightly subsidized the pizza of two other couples.

I have loved every single post and consider me subscribed to every interaction going forward.

We have a family in our neighborhood that has 3 boys roughly the same ages as ours and I feel no obligation to hang out with the parents. We coordinate via text, their kids can show up at our house uninvited and ask to play and ours as well and we've had some occasional sleepovers but I think I've been in their house twice and they've been in our house once and that's plenty for both of us. We can hold a conversation on sports or work small talk or whatever but I know enough to know we aren't going to be talking about much else.

I think you should have told Doug and Mary you weren't going to pay for their god damn mushroom and ricotta pizza!

So when they offered to get pizza, my wife and I looked at each other

You should've left at 6:30 and had some family time for yourselves with food all of your crew would enjoy.

I'm curious BAC, if you were the hosting couple, how would you have handled the pizza situation? (in this hypo you ordered the pizzas and had the veggie one and leftovers and more expensive house and all that jazz)

My opinion is that you experienced the cost of having children, which is sometimes you're going to be strategically interacting with people you have no other connection to. By absolute definition, yes, you slightly subsidized the pizza of two other couples. If this bothers you, then maybe you need to make a decision about if you'd rather get out the calculors and protractors or relax and enjoy your day.

Yeah. BAC, you're my friend and I know you to be an honest man of good faith. But I think this is something you just let slide. Or just avoid any splitsies scenarios with the couple in the future.

Fair enough. I guess the ironic part is that despite how lib7 is choosing to frame me, (as a petty, penny pinching vindictive a-hole with an ever running leger of perceived slights), that couldn't be further from the truth. We don't fret over money, whereas Doug and Mary care big time about every red cent, and obviously when people are so diametrically opposite it can be a source of friction. Doug and Mary are going to make damn sure they are never stuck holding the bag on $8/slice pizza night but have no compunction about putting others their invited guests in that position. To KK's point, as soon as the girls are old enough to not need both sets of parents to be present when they get together, i'm quite positive our interactions with Doug and Mary will kept to a minimum. For us, the biggest concern is going to be making sure that our daughter always has sufficient monies on her anytime she goes over to their house, b/c we fully expect that they fully expect her to pay for anything they do that has a discrete cost associated with it.

and yes @Trim you nailed it and at 6:31 i knew that was the right move but i didn't have the heart to break up a playdate where the kids were all having a great time so i rolled the dice and hoped that whatever financial transaction was going to take place later that night would be agreeable for all parties.

honestly lib7 i would never even think to expect payment from people who i have invited to be a guest in my home. and if they offered to pay i would refuse, or if i didn't really like them very much and was only inviting them b/c i had to, i would say something like "eh you can just pick up the check next time! (but would forget i said that like 5 seconds later and would not, in fact, expect them to pick up the check next time)". I will admit, if they just absolutely insist on chipping in, like they won't let it go, i'm not going to die on that hill.

well, i said the scenario i found myself in could make for a good jumping off point in an epi of curb. wouldn't be surprised if something like that did happen in that show, i recall similar/adjacent things happened in seinfeld (re: kenny banya gives jerry a suit in exchange for a nice meal together. and to a lesser degree but still adjacent, the Big Salad)

Second, regarding them not making accommodations, it was honestly fine. My wife is very used to it. There are so few places that she feels safe to eat at, and of those Im not sure if any of them deliver, but ultimately we were not planning to stay for dinner in the first place, it was just supposed to be a chill hang that ran long bc the kids were having fun, and ordering pizza was very much a fitting choice.

How on earth do you not know if there are any celiac friendly places that deliver? I'm assuming this other family lives in your neighborhood or at least delivery range?

we are very aware of all the GF places that are safe to eat around us. No idea on the delivery policy b/c we always either dine in or carry out. But its not just that, its the finding a place that is safe + delivers + is at a price point everyone is amenable to + has menu options that everyone finds agreeable (including 3 year olds!) and i'm sure you can imagine that venn diagram starts to have a very small center portion.

if it was part of the plan to have dinner then we absolutely would have run all the traps and figured out what would work. Most of the time that would be us just bringing our own thing b/c we realize how restrictive my wife's dietary restrictions are and we neither want nor expect everyone to adhere to those restrictions. I don't think any of us expected the kids to still be having so much fun that we would stick around for dinner. it can be exhausting enough trying to figure out if new places actually understand what GF means, and if we insisted that other ppl accommodate us they would probably do so by not inviting us to stuff anymore.

After reading through this and thinking about it for a bit, i've come to the conclusion that this family hates BAC's family. Clue 1 was when they ordered pizza for a GF person. This didn't work and the BAC family didn't take the hint and leave. The family then had to come up with a way to make them not come back so they stuck them with the pizza bill. I feel like the next step is for this family to sprinkle peanuts all over the house without asking if any of the kids have an allergy.
Title: Re: Pet Peeves

BAC - this is all on you.  4 hours was always going to be plenty for 3-year-olds to play.  Especially knowing that the playdate portion of your day was going to be consumed with you and your wife having to hang out with people you dislike, you should've - even without considering the shitshow that would be the hosts offering dinner - made committed plans for your family to have its own time thereafter without those people.  You needed to have a 6 or 6:30 reservation (or at least your own commitment to be there) at a restaurant that is great for your wife and that your kid would be excited to go to, no matter where the playdate stood.  Not sure of the geography, but it could've even been a new place or something that you wouldn't go to often b/c it's out by the cheapskates' fancy neighborhood.

It didn't need to be a split-second decision when the hosts engaged their pizza plot.

That is the part that is upsetting him, not the $20. The $20 is the only leverage he feels he has over them, the only thing he can touch. But he has crucified himself for his child’s friend. Noble, but I think he could choose many other paths.

BAC, how was the 'za?
Title: Re: Pet Peeves
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on March 26, 2024, 10:28:07 PM
NGL the ‘za was pretty good (no clue how the mushroom and ricotta was bc that’s literal trash).
But I think I’ve depicted Doug and Mary a bit unfairly. They are perfectly decent people, and we get along just fine. And I’m not even saying their stinginess makes them bad people, it’s just different than how I choose to prioritize stuff in my life. We have honestly had several playdates like meeting up at a park and those went off without a hitch. And I bet we could even do things with them where money is involved so long as we all agreed beforehand.

Like oh you wanna go to the children’s museum? Great! They pay for their admission, we pay for ours, no controversy no perceived unfairness. (We actually have a family membership to the children’s museum that includes guest passes but they don’t know that and I’m not going to tell them)

First of all, I don't think mushroom and ricotta necessarily sounds bad, so I don't know why you keep trying to trash Doug and Patty Mayonnaise about that.

If your guest passes are limited, I think that's a shrewd move, given #PizzaGate. If they're unlimited though, you're just being Petty Mayonnaise.

key is to find the kids with the parents that are fun to be around, and essentially make your kids be friends with their kids.  basically instead of a kid play date (hated typing that) you organize an adult hang out, and the kids naturally get to play with each other.

key for myself is youth sports.  instantly have a bunch of kids that are your kids exact same age!  pick out the parents that seem cool, talk with them during a practice or game.  they seem cool, YOU ARE IN!

no you start with the kids and do trial play dates. I went through this in California - our first attempts at family friendships started with some awful people but ended with two families on our street that we just met in Mexico for vacation. They are all lifetime friends.
