Peolple that are always late after agreeing on a certain time to meet.
People who smack their lips together a couple times after trying a new food/drink. Not only is it annoying to look at and listen to, but it's not like it helps you taste the new product any better. Why do it?

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.

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?"

*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."

People who ask you if you watch XYZ reality TV show, and you say no, but they still proceed to tell you all about the contestants on the current season. I DON'T GIVE A eff!!! I don't watch reality TV because I think it sucks ass, it's fine if you think it's awesome, but don't subject me to a thirty minute monologue about something I could care less about.That would be my stupid stepmother. She watches them all and has to give details. DGAF.

When I see someone is watching TV in a standard definition channel when clearly there is an HD version available. Like WTF people!Doesn't bother me too bad, but the Mrs. does this often (claims she doesn't have the channel numbers for HD memorized yet). Time Warner's remote has a feature that within two clicks you're watching the same channel, but in HD. :dunno:

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.

That person is the worst. We have the bad bow pictured below at work, and it makes me really mad when people are drinking out of both pots at the same time, so you have a pot that's half full, and another one that is 1/3 full, instead of being systematic about it (maybe it's the analyst in me, but it bugs me)

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.

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.

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.

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".
How do you pronounce "prevalent"? Like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-W-lnC1vA or like prE vAlent (lone E, long A as in prevail)? Because I pronounce it the first way and it drives me crazy when a co-worker pronounces it the other way.
Also, my mother says "worsh" instead of wash but I didn't inherit that.
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.

When servers use language like they are a part of your party..."Would we like an appetizer today?" "I'll have that right out for us." "Do we need anything else?"
You are not getting any of my food, so stop saying "we".
that's a good one. those people should be killed.

If you are going to go to the trouble of making the outside part then just put the god dammed actual pocket and I will decide whether or not I want to put something in that pocket. eff you misogynist fashion designers for thinking you get to decide whether or not a woman can carry stuff!

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.

I sneezed this morning, and some guy at work, like from 20 or 30 feet away (i don't even know who said it it was far enough away) said "Bless you"I belief if dates back to the black plague. As that was perceived as an early sign. I'll double check.

Rewriting code that I already wrote, that I can't find anywhere. Guys, so, this is like writing a paper 6 months ago and turning it in for an A. Then, 6 months later you have to turn in the same paper with a few edits. You don't just rewrite the whole paper, but copy and paste what took you days, should be seconds with copy and paste. :bang: :bang: :bang:Agreed I hate this

It is much more serious for a car to not signal than a bike. Drivers are the cause of like 90% of car/bike accidents and also like 90% of the bitching about how dangerous it is to have bikes and cars on the road together.

So if I hit a bike who is in front of me because they didn't signal it's my fault. Also if they blow through a crosswalk without turning on the flashers and I hit them it's my fault. Got it.

Nobody has died? WTF the community has had cyclists killed because some eff knob ran a biker down because he was "adjusting his gps" probably texting. The biker was in the shoulder away from traffic. So lets not go down this road without relevant facts.

How would you hit a biker if they did or didn't signal a turn? Did you leave out the part where you illegally passed the cyclist to run them down?

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.

Puni ever watched any old WWII movies, like the Sands of Iwo Jima? The Japs would always fall down very gently. I remember one where a guy gets shot, sets down his rifle, then lays down dead. Actually pretty cute.This is probably more realistic than the modern movie trope of people getting blown away. If I got shot to death I would definitely just put myself to bed on the ground.

This made me think of that moment when he shoots the lady in Django and she gets yanked off at like a perpendicular angle to his shot trajectory. I get so rough ridin' cheesed off at that. Almost ruins the movie.
that one was for laughs tho

Was Quentin's cameo for laughs? Defend that! QT did to acting and screenwriting with that cameo what he did to physics with that doofy stunt.

When people post on Facebook, on their own status "Happy Birthday Mary" and they don't tag Mary or put it on her wall or anything. Like Mary is probably not even going to see that.
possible explanations:
1. MARY HAS BLOCKED YOU BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID AND YOU CANT SEE HER PROFILE
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.
pretty simple really.
I don't understand why you chose to call the only quantitative thing about it fictitious. The representation is honest and the metric is measurable.

I was viewing it from the context of the universe. We are the only ones who can perceive it, so it is measurable from our point of view.

and then you said that consciousness is infinitely more viable than the view of birthdays being in any way relevant and that if the earths revolution was twice as fast or vice versa then you are way "older" or "younger" than you are right now and that birthdays mean nothing other than our fictitious meaning for them.

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.

If your kid is old enough to work a pez dispenser and not choke to death I would think they would be smart enough to refill it too.
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.
Just eat the rough ridin' candy! Having it come out of superman's mouth makes no rough ridin' difference!!!

"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

When someone has a runny nose or whatever causes that nose noise where you're sucking snot/phlegm/gross back into your throat and swallowing it. The sounds are gross and all of the loud throat clearing. This same guy makes these sounds during his lunch break. It drives me up the wall.Worse is when you see them swallow it.

And I know this person gets my texts and knows how to respond because I have talked to her on the phone during that time.I hope she responds with K so you get even more fired up

We have follow you printing where you can send as much crap to the printer as you want but it won't print until you walk up to the printer and swipe your id badge and tell it to print. Pretty great technolg right there.

I went to print something this morning for the first time in weeks and apparently we haven't even had paper for a few days and no one had told the office manager person.
my office manager like, hates it when you ask her to order office supplies. Gets really snippy, like she's above it or we're implying she isn't doing her job right or something. One time we were completely out of paper and someone was like, "I'll just run down to office depot and get some" and she was PIIIIIIIISSSED.
A pet peeve of mine!

having one bathroom for defecating and one for urinating seems like a better way of using two bathrooms than having one multipurpose bathroom for each sex, even when both sexes are represented.

Mrs wacky just expressed a pet peeve of hers that she's hidden inside for 6 years now. 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.
i do the EXACT same things, inherited it from my dad. i do it from muscle memory and don't even think about it.

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...

Guy misses a few days for a death in the family, comes back to the office and a few of us are discussing it it with him. He looks at the dude and says, "Really sorry to hear that, haha."

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.
And I just work from home more often than not now, so it kind of did the opposite for me.

Also, our Denver office has floors that don't even have a single regular shutting door, only sliding doors.

I'd probably use the generic "underwear" in general for all non-boxers or boxer briefs (which is admittedly lacking clarity) but would use the aforementioned "briefs" if necessary.

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.
sounds like he's living life to the max

Similar...ppl who do the "pull off onto the shoulder to avoid colliding with you" but in situations that really don't call for it. Its like dude we're in gridlock traffic, we've moved up maybe 5 or 6 car lengths without even getting close to 30mph i don't think you need to swerve off onto the shoulder and by the way you're a huge idiot.

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).

I'm constantly amazed at how people will spend 3,4,5 times as long looking for a space closer to the door as they would have spent had they instead taken one of many open spaces just a little farther away.
This is a huge peeve for me. Like, there’s an entire rough ridin' parking lot full of spaces and you park between 2 cars and I can’t even open the door all the way to get out. OR when someone parks right next to me when I’m the only car within 5 spaces in any direction.

Has everyone seen those sweet back in parking spots they put on busy streets sometimes? I’d like to shake the hand of whoever came up with those. Truly a modern engineering marvel.I used them with regularity for roughly a 3 year period. One thing I observed is that a significant portion of the population sucks ass at back-in angle parking.

But I don't like "dream scenes" in books either. Seems like a lazy way to write.

people whose laughs are way too loud. like i can't take you anywhere, man
Fake loud laughs are the worst. Like the ass kisser at company group weekly meeting and you know anything the boss says making light of something or someone, it's ole fake loud laughter coming from ass kisser.

Similarly cringe when people call videos, blogs, podcasts, etc. they make “content.”
“The pod” is worse tho.

People (work) who dont put their contact info in their email sigFun 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.

zoom info has emailed several of our employees saying they had their info and letting them know they can opt out. Everyone has thought it is a phishing scheme to this point due to using the word Zoom in the name.

There are so many more flavors than just the good ones. If you pass on all the other ones you are seriously missing out on life
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.

i highly doubt the cook at whatever chinese place lib7 is going to is going to be insulted. point of reference- i worked at a subway in highschool. some toppings such as tomatoes and onions were standard. i was never insulted if someone said "no tomatoes" or "no onions".

i highly doubt the cook at whatever chinese place lib7 is going to is going to be insulted. point of reference- i worked at a subway in highschool. some toppings such as tomatoes and onions were standard. i was never insulted if someone said "no tomatoes" or "no onions".
Toppings are different!

so going through mcdonalds drive through and ordering a plain qp w/ cheese that causes the line to back up for three minutes because onions are standard on a qpc is ok, but asking for no onions in chicken friend rice at a kansas city chinese food place is not? i think your brain is broken.

I think his rule is really more like, if you risk hurting the feelings of someone who makes over $75k-ish a year, you should just eat the gross things that come in the dish by default.
there is also the aspect of being mindful of extra work you give someone making less

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

Sometimes I pull through and I worry that people will think I backed in.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.

:dunno:My wife has been asking me a lot of questions lately that I can't possibly know the answers to. I used to shrug it off, but it is making me madder as I get older.I get asked questions all the time that I don't have the answers for. This distressed me in my 20s. Now, I'm trying to accept the fact that the questions proliferate faster than my ability to acquire answers.

The skinny cereal boxes they make these days really trip my trigger. I set an unopened box of Raisin Nut Bran on the table at breakfast and it fell over on its side. Am I crazy for believing that a cereal box should be able to stand under its own weight?
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!!!!
Post by: Sandstone Outcropping on May 20, 2021, 10:35:22 AM
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.The skinny cereal boxes they make these days really trip my trigger.

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.

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.

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?

"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.

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.As someone who blocks out giant chunks of my day for “steve dave time” I just assume everyone else is as well.

When you try to open a new bag of shredded cheese and you tear exactly where it says TEAR HERE but the package is still sealed and you didn't even get down to where the zip seal part is.
I have the opposite problem where the tear goes too low and my fat American fingers don't have enough material to grip open the zip seal

Also, am I the only one that thinks its ridiculously hard to plug in an HDMI cord to the back of a tv? 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. I have a TV on the wall that I had to move some stuff around and it took me an enraging amount of time to get the HDMI cords back in.

I watched this whole 90 minute episode the other night and it was Snoozeville street, Boringtown, USA. Not sure why I stuck with it all the way. I guess I was thinking that when it got to the Wilco part it would pick up and be dece, but it totally wasn't.

Before OneDrive, I used CamScanner app. Pro upgrade. Saved them to Dropbox. Same system. Surely, you're not submitting paper receipts in 2022.Nope.

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)

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?Just treat the red light like a 4way stop? (Assuming it doesn't have red light cams)

About 50 day. I have an intern right now so it isn't as annoying right now, but generally am actually teaching for about 90% of my day and not in a position to sit and answer emails. Most of them are completely irrelevant.

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. The rest was random fluff.

my pet peeve with emails are the ones that could be one simple two minute phone call but instead it's 20 back and forth emails. :cyclist:
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.
Really, bad email etiquette and communication in general is a giant pet peeve, and I'm by no means perfect, but so many people have a hard time expressing what they really want.

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.

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 also receive 50 emails a day some days.

I've never used mid, but I love it. That's one that definitely started with hood culture that's either going to or already has been vultured.

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.

Guess I've never noticed this in the wild. What you're describing sounds like somebody just trying to mimic what they think a professional e-mail sounds like. I'm sure I've closed emails with "Please advise," "Please let me know (your thoughts)," "Thoughts?" etc. But yeah, that's only after describing a scenario and a set of potential action items.

Sort of redundant. I think it’s basically a way to be kind of a jerk in formal correspondence where you need some kind of a closing phrase. So “Please advise” instead of “Thanks” or “Best” or “Sincerely.”
I use the 'thumbs up' emoji as my closing phrase in most of my formal correspondence.

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.

There is a fine line between something being a pet peeve and enraging me and this sign I walk by quite a bit is very close to it

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

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 am waiting to get coffee at the giant urn at the Fairfield Inn. Someone is getting coffee in front of me. They get their coffee and proceed to add two creams, eight sugar packets, and stir it "just so" right in front of the giant urn. I stand and impatiently wait.
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 can’t imagine not immediately asking the burgeoning barista to move somewhere else to load their coffee with their carcinogen of choice
I think I might just be inclined to sidle right up next to burgeoning barista (bb) and start getting my coffee.
Like, uncomfortably close. Maybe rub up against them a little bit and make some satisfying moans "mmmmm-hmmmm" also. Really let them know that I'm a friendly guy and I like to make new friends in the coffee line.

i think they mean that even as they have surpassed all earthly competition, they are reminded that they are as far below the divine as all other men are below them.Or that despite their success on the court/field, the reward serves to remind them that they are ultimately judged by a bunch of poindexters who hold the player’s fate in their hands.

It's even worst when a man calls his man partner a "wifey"; the same goes for females.

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.)
Jesus does not approve of the dark arts performed by covens.

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 do this as well especially when reheating stuff. Jam the :30 second button a couple of times and pull it out when it smells good.

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.

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

its used when you're discussing a topic that you haven't talked about in a while. Its kind of a way of saying "it's been a while since we last talked about this so my memory isn't sharp" or "a lot has changed or progressed on this topic since we last talked about it and i may not be up to date on the latest and greatest"

BAC are the offenders project managers? Beause I have heard a lot of project managers say that.
PMs and lead engineers are heavy offenders. I used to do it from time to time until i realized how much i was getting on my own nerves. I'm also guilty of responding to the question "how's it going?" with "livin' the dream" and i've worked hard to cut that crap out

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.

“The Japanese have a long history of incorporating elements of ‘folding and making shapes’ into several aspects of their lives and this object was inspired by their traditional culture of origami.

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.

Cute concept. Not sure enough room has been provided for batteries of sufficient size to ensure a meaningful and useful range between charging, especially considering the likely high empty weight plus the weight of 10 people and luggage. Yikes!

"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:
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.

One of my favorite things is passing hundreds of cars lined up in the right lane before merging right before the I-70 west ramp after KSU football games. It's a real thrill.

Man, I'll never forget my first driving lesson. I literally had never driven before, before drivers ed and my maniac driving teacher had me merge onto K10 from Eudora to Lawrence right away. I wanted to cry. :lol:
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.

I have to spend an hour reformatting the damn thing because some dumbass sent a word doc instead of pdf or whatever.Insert key + underline!
Thanks. I just looked at my keyboard and it apparently has that key. I have no idea what it does or how it works, but i'll try this next time.

Why do so many Uber/Lyft drivers insist on having airflow completely off? I'd say this happens with like 9 of 10 drivers I've used.Do I still give 5 stars and tip 25%?

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.

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.

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

Suburbanites are so weird about where other people are parking
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 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.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.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.
know whats easier to get your entire hand into than a cereal box? a bowl. Just pour it into a bowl, you monster.
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on January 23, 2023, 02:53:53 PM
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.

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.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.

Reading through this thread and this is very funny. I would count up all of Nowells long bomb makes and add a point for each one made and then tell them the score as if the 4pters were counted.When a player (usually Nowell) takes a deep three and someone is like "uh does he know they aren't worth 4 when you take them that deep????"
Do you scream in their face when the player makes it?

Can anyone not finish off a box of cereal in one sitting anymore? Probably why I am monitoring my blood sugar now.

people who - when discussing something that either happened a while ago, or will eventually happen in a while - look at their watch.

what about people who interview themselves?

Would I go so far as to say its a pet peeve? possibly

Question for those who use these? How do you keep old cereal from stacking up on the bottom? Do you have to completely empty it before you top it off with fresh cereal product?I hate cereal boxes.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230126/d50ab24121e915c41f021c8c9abe7950.jpg)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.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.
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.

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

IMO those containers are dumb and don't keep the cereal fresh at all unless you're just chowing down on cereal all the time.
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.

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.

Do you have a rule in your house where you can only eat half a box of cereal before you open a new box of cereal?

Allen wrenches. I have a bag thingy of like 600 different sizes of allen wrenches. I rarely need any of them, but when I do, I never seem to have the right sized one? It seems impossible that they build things and just randomly make up the size of the screw or whatever. Why make it so hard? Just make a standard screw or whatever!!!! :curse:Invest in a metric and standard set with a clamp-in holder that shows the side. Throw out everything in the bag

I feel like everything I buy has their own size one so I just throw it in the bag. You would think I have all the sizes by know but apparently my door knob has its own secret sized one.

Does anyone do the two bowl method to not get soggy cereal? You get a spoon full of dry Cereal and dunk it in the milk. I started doing this recently and wish I would have done this my entire life.

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.

Yeah, the thing that follows has nothing to do with having kids, it's just maturing, like understanding the difference between correlation and causation.

Not that I’m looking for a hill to die on here, but my point is that experience might have been what caused YOU to mature/grow as a person, but that doesn’t mean others who lack the same experience can’t empathize. That’s the gist of my peeve.

when you are giving someone a ride to the airport and they ask "what time should we leave"?I think if you are visiting from out of town you might expect the local to have a good sense of the airport particulars. 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 situationCompromise 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.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 situationCompromise 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.
this might not be the most helpful advice but have you considered trying to relax a bit?

I've probably said this other places, but there are a lot of sports announcer cliches that grind my gears:
"If you had told me before the season (insert outcome that wasn't predicted preseason by the talking heads) I would've said you're out of your mind"
"They're going to need not just a big game from the stars, but the role players too. The Marcus Kemps, the Justin Watsons, the Blake Bells, guys like that"
etc. There are a lot of lazy cliches
"touchdown saving tackle"
every tackle is a touchdown saving tackle

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.

ok so just curious - if the airport doesn't advise how early you should arrive - what is your preferred time to be walking in to the airport?

When the driver of the car has the wipers set too fast or too slow for the rate of rain buildup on the windscreen
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.
And if that's not a thing the you're welcome for the billion dollar invention

Or kids that aren't mine I'll say "aw thanks kiddo" etc
I like doing that to a single one of my kids as in "what's up, kiddo?" but hate it when people describe their kids as kiddos. It makes no sense and is a complete double standard but that's part of the Pet Peeves journey.

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.

I find the concept of antiperspirant creeps me out. I don't like the idea of clogging my sweat glads so they don't sweat. I just want to not be so funky so I old-spice it up like my guy clams.I’ve tried several alternatives and keep coming back to old spice. Most alternatives give me a rash for some reason, and big time for antiperspirants.

Mostly restaurants and some sidewalks. But I have been in a decent amount of airports, and casinos recently. Oddly enough I didn’t encounter this phenomenon much in the casinos of all places

“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.

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.

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.

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. Let me ask you, would you say "the data is saying" or "the data are saying"?

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.

People that save seats at random kids things. My daughter had her Kindergarten program today & people brought in blankets to to lay out on chairs. Some lady came in, then put out blankets over 7 seats. Then 4 or 5 women stood the whole time filming every second of the thing with their phones.
This is a good one. The filming of the kid programs is very out of hand these days.
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:
Or it fits great and then you wash it and then all of a sudden it barely reaches your belt! :curse:

People who get to the car pick up line at school 45 min before school gets out. Also, basically everything about the car pickup line.
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.

But then you don't get to get in a lick on the ball-carrier. Def better to hit em from the side or front tho. Those licks add up.

If that ain’t me.
I will also re-write a sentence to avoid saying something like “a whole other” unless I’m specifically calling someone out for typing a whole nother (which, why would you even type that? I get saying it out loud but typing that out? C’mon man)

Like many Midwestern'rs I have a storm door that opens out and sometimes food delivery people leave the food right in front of the door forcing me to crush or knock over the food attempting to retrieve it. There is a chair to set it on right next to the door, so this is particularly peeving
why don't you walk around from the back? Or track the order and watch for the guy when close and then open the door for them?

Doggie SF normally poops twice on our walk. Always has, no idea why she can't just get it done the first time. This is a mild annoyance in the spring, summer, and fall. It is def peeve territory in the winter. Having to take my gloves off twice and spend extra time in the freezing ass cold is the worst.

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.

When your kid's coach or parent makes a post in one of the 37 apps used to track your kids activities and is very specific on how to respond. Something like, "If your kid doesn't want to play soccer this year, let me know here" or "like this post if you are in this year". and then some dumbass posts, "Adelynny is in, so excited!!!" which sets off everyone else to do the exact opposite of what the coach says to do.

When your kid's coach or parent makes a post in one of the 37 apps used to track your kids activities and is very specific on how to respond. Something like, "If your kid doesn't want to play soccer this year, let me know here" or "like this post if you are in this year". and then some dumbass posts, "Adelynny is in, so excited!!!" which sets off everyone else to do the exact opposite of what the coach says to do.Why can't there just be a text or Signal or FB messenger thread instead of using apps like "band" or "groupme" for team stuff? I dislike being forced to add new apps when I already have a widely available app on my phone that does the exact same function.
Happens every time and drives me bonkers.

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.

Cigar smoking in public. I'll admit to hating smoking in general, but I think its rude as eff to light up a nasty ass smelling cigar with a bunch of people around. If you want to chill and smoke a stogie fine, do it at home or away from other people. :shakesfist: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.

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.

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

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.

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

The stingy side is the one NOT admittedly freaking out over 7 dollars?
If you can find one person who has spent time with me IRL and would describe me as stingy I’ll eat my hat. Like I said, it wasn’t ever about the money

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.

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
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.

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)
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)

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.

4+ hours of awkward small talk with this cheap/hostile couple seems far more troublesome than $20That 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.

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.^bingo. trouble is all my friends that meet that criteria either don't have kids, or their kids are nowhere close to mine's age, or they live like a thousand miles away. sure i (a middle aged man) could go actively seeking out new friends but what am i some kind of psychopath?

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.

Our small dog is getting pretty old and doesn’t tolerate cold as much. He seems to really appreciate having a sweater on during cold days.
Yeah, I mean depending on the dog some simply aren't built for the cold and/or it's ok for them. Like dressing up a husky probably not great. Dressing up a short haired dachshund when it's 10 degrees, probably cruel if didn't.

This is kind of wonky, but consider any court case, such as "Roe v. Wade." The "v." is short for versus. You're supposed to say out loud "Roe versus Wade," not "Roe v. Wade."My pet peeve on this is in regards to sporting events. Back in my day, "on" was used in place of the "v". Like 3 on 3, or 7 on 7. Really grates me when I hear "3 v 3". :cyclist:
On a side note, do they say "shirts v skins" now?

It's been a hot minute since I participated in shirts versus skins, so I can't say.

My theory is the use "3v3" instead of "3 on 3" is due to the growth of soccer.

I know it’s already been covered ITT but for some reason the less v. fewer thing is getting more annoying to me lately, which is probably a sign of getting old?
Am I responsible for that? Because I know I've opined on the subject. It's not really difficult for people to wrap their brains around.

This may be too specific, but to my best ability I avoid any and all movie trailers. I want to know little to nothing about it outside of director, actors, writers, etc. And my pet peeve is when people, just assuming I haven't been living my life like this for as long as I can remember, say crap like "well let me just say one thing about it" like I don't know what I'm talking about when I say I want to know ZERO THINGS about it. And then they try to interrupt my refusal by telling me the one thing they just HAVE to tell me.My gf does this crap. "Shut the eff up. I don't want to know anything." Drives me crazy when she drops hints about a movie.

Precision is needed in professional environments like law or research and totally understandable. Everyday common speech though? Get over yourself imho. ;)I have a similar peeve for people who correct something grammar/usage wise despite knowing exactly what you meant, which is really the whole point of language if you think about it.
The best example of this are people who insist that you cannot end a sentence with a preposition (which often makes sentences more convoluted) while simultaneously refusing to use the Oxford comma.

fun news, the Grammar Police have recently issued a ruling that it's actually fine to end a sentence in a preposition. I guess the whole "no ending a sentence in a prepo" comes from latin-based languages, which english is not, so like, its actually fine. Wish they would have issued that ruling when i was in high school and having to write lots of papers.

a couple of additional thoughts on this:
I keep my grammar elitism to myself, mostly. Like if you say "I am not one to XYZ", I can assure you that I am not wont to give you the ol' WELL ACTUALLY!
I think around the time it was codified that "literally" can mean either "literally" or "figuratively" i was like "ya know what? this whole language thing...its completely made up. we just made it up. i'm not going to get mad"

Big Oxford comma guy, here. Don't care about the difference between envy and jealousy. And I love starting sentences with a conjunction, although I was told it wasn't allowed in grade school. Also not afraid to end a sentence with a preposition. GTFOOMF with trying to force me to drop a "with which" on some poor soul.
When you've molded the clay of language for a while, you realize there really are no rules--only style.

in this case, arguably the most famous and prevalent "spicy" food chemical (Capsaaicin) is not acidic. It's technically a base but its pH is not what influences the sensation of spice.

::deep exhale:: alright, ya know what everyone? Please disregard the afore mentioned LIFEHACK as it is not an immutable fact, and there are some common exceptions. I mean yes it applies to acids, acids are going to be sour/spicy because of the hydrogen ion that makes them acids in the first place, but what i SHOULD have said, is that things that taste bitter are bases, because bitter compounds contain amine groups which are weak bases. So rather than all bases are bitter, the better generalization would have been "all things that taste bitter are bases"
okay mich, please come on back with some more "well actually huuhhhgghh" because i'd bet my life there is something out there that tastes bitter that is not in fact, a base.
(or, perhaps as an alternative, don't!)

Not sure if it's a peeve so much as a curiosity... But what's the deal with people who feel the need to spit into the urinal before they start peeing? Like I don't think they just spit a lot and sometimes it happens to be at the urinal, it seems like a very specific and deliberate ritual.
Eh, urinal doesn't bother me but in terms of spittin' the amount of snuff chewers we got onsite causes me to be pretty grossed out. all the bottles/cup with spittle in it, and hell being in a meeting and like 5 dudes just spitting the whole time. So :barf:

calling concrete "cement" is just wrong, there is no debate. The only reason you would call it that is that's what some old dumbass called it who learned it from some other even older dumbass and then passed it on to you.
And then also they pronounce it SEE-ment just to sprinkle a little layer of gross on top of being wrong
This exact discussion was recently had on the Phog in the David Booth Erection Thread.
And I must confess, I too will take one spit into the urinal or terlit, and I too have no idea why. Just an ideal spitting opportunity?

Is it mayhaps a "priming the pump" type thing? Like oh this urinal is dry how am I supposed to pee? Best to get the wetness party started so I can start peeing? Kind of a stretch but I find it fascinating and would be very interested as to the psychology behind it

I may have said this one before but :dunno: Work people that set up meetings for simple questions. I feel like zoom has conditioned people to think a full meeting with 8 people is necessary for every conversation. I go to meetings all the time that could have been done over a teams message or a quick call. I had a guy call me this morning 20 minutes before a meeting and he tried to tell me that they needed to move the meeting because so and so couldn't make it. I said, "what did you need"? He just paused and there was awkward silence. I then said, "like, we are talking right now and i'm happy to just answer any questions you have, or we could just wait until another day when more people are around". More awkward silence and he finally goes, yeah, we can just do it now.......Took like 3 minutes.
I've come to the general conclusion that if there's more than 4 people in a meeting, there's someone that doesn't need to be there.
I deal with a company culture where everyone wants to be "in the loop" but not actually do any work. My work is also bad about reading emails and it sounds cliche but there are a lot of meetings with 20 people basically being read emails over zoom. Infuriates me

I'm not sure that is true according to my calendar that is full of these types of meetings. I normally just go with it, but since the guy called me I figured I would subtly call him out. I chuckled a bit when I said that maybe we should just go ahead and talk now since we were already talking. I also think a lot of it has to do with people just being afraid to do or say anything without their manager's approval. I'm always meeting with different groups of people. Most of them are unnecessary and I could usually just talk to one person and they could pass things along as needed, but whatever. Each person in those groups almost always invites their manager and in some cases their next level, which leads to about 4 other people that have no business on the call, yet they are always there.

I have a recent grad who is like this. Like I (perhaps foolishly) told him "look I know you're just out of school and I don't expect you to know anything, but when you need direction or have questions... The worst thing you can do is stay quiet. I wasn't you to try to figure it out, but you can always ask me questions and I would much rather you ask too many questions than too few"
And man he took that to heart bc he tries to set up a call for every little thing and I'm like bruh we have ms teams it's okay to ask questions on teams, especially simple ones. We don't need to set up a call for every little thing my dude

Sounds like your company has too many managers without enough to do. I can't imagine inviting someone to a meeting and them inviting their manager plus a level above (and I do not exactly work for a super lean org)

For an entire power plant, which has thousands of drawings for actual systems, client is asking for the schematic of a water heater, you know, the ones you buy at home depot in their shower facility, and claims using a cut from a manual isn't sufficient. Like, what do you want us to do, call Rheem and be like " hey so we bought a water heater from you all, and were looking for a single drawing in CAD form of the water heater, can you provide that? Oh it's printed on the tank and you make 100,000 of these a year and aren't doing anything like that, ok I thought it was crazy too"

I'm talking about driving on a deer infested 2-lane highway where you go in and out of passing / no-passing zones. I understand briefly coming up behind a slower vehicle immediately before passing but why ignore multiple opportunities to pass and just ride my bumper for 30 miles? It is dangerous, stupid and doesn't save you any time.

Sometimes I think Mrs SF does this to eff with me and make me nuts, but I swear every one of our closets has one less hangar than things that need to be hung. I can grab a coat, shirt or whatever and then whenever I go to hang it back up, there are no hangers left. Drives me bonkers. It's like they disappear.
lol that's a good one

Have we talked about the use of the term “gifted”. As in “we gifted my mom a digital picture frame…”. When did we do away with “gave” or “got a present”. Maybe if you are talking about massive tracts of farmland or huge portfolios of stocks it fits but it just seems kind of pretentious in a lot of the places where it gets used these days.

When they switched the KS Turnpike/I-70 toll from pay in person to online my account got messed up somehow. I have two vehicles and they only have one vehicle on that account. When I log in to pay my bill it says I don't have any charges so I have to wait until I get the mailed statement and pay an extra $1.50 or something and I can't set up autopay because my account doesn't actually get charged.Get Mrs8 your information, and she'll straighten that crap out in 15 mins. She is incredible at working the KDOt helpline.

I mean I was wandering around in the Smallville grocery store the other night thinking about the staggering variety of cheap, nourishing, unspoiled food we have available in 2025 compared to the horrible stuff that most humans throughout history have survived on. An unimaginable array of delights. (I know excessive highly processed food is bad, etc etc but I can eat watermelon in Kansas in the middle of the winter for crying out loud).
It makes me really happy to see more Tillamook cheese and ice cream here in KS. Absolutely delicious dairy products. Had some of their aged white cheddar a few days ago. Really superb.

My mom and sister (or any teacher for that matter) could probably write an entire book on how shitty parents and their behavior has become. It's so stupid. I do also think (and this is not to make it the 'pit) covid is a big big driver of this. I think being stuck at home not having to be social has mumped up so many people. It's atrocious on airplanes for example.

Yes. Many people are very anti-social. Regardless of what you think of organized religion, having an hour a week where you sit still and listen to someone else is very good for people. Many people aren't able to sit still for long enough to get bored.

Farm dogs eat a diet of Old Roy and whatever carrion they find laying around.

Perhaps the larger point…valentines day is the day where we need to acknowledge that on this day it’s imperative to break from societal norms as it pertains to shopping. If you get your Christmas shopping done by Black Friday, you’re considered thoughtful, prepared, adequate as a provider and protector and sex-haver. Get your Valentine’s Day shopping done by February 12th and you are a literal psychopath.
WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME OH CRUEL GROCER?! Can’t you just do us all a favor and like, put out a 2D display with a photo of many a beautiful red and pink trinkets with big letters saying “STAY TUNED! COMING 2/13….!”
I completely understand why Valentine’s Day is the most panned of all holidays. It draws the ire of 3 distinct demographics of people…the incel non-havers, the ones who resent that we have this completely manufactured holiday dedicated to the wanton consumerism that is this late stage capitalistic hellscape we call “being alive and participating in society”, and then of course, the people who just hate logistical nightmares.
Amen.

Same, when traveling for work and by myself, I ask them if that is their stuff and if they say yes, I kindly ask them to move it. More often than not they do and give you a pissy look, but I just sit down and put my headphones in. Had a lady a few flights ago sit in the middle seat on one side and crap in every seat on the other side. She was in like the 5th row doing this. Sorry mam, i'm taking that window. She was pissed.

The students were performing this acapella version of "Stand By Me" and this kid was just howling away thru the quiet part of the song. If your child can't stay quiet, they need to stay home or stay outside the auditorium with you until they can be quiet.
Sit still.
Be quiet.
Make the kids who are with you sit still and be quiet.
Do not get up and move around during a song unless you believe that you are having a medical emergency that would cause you to die in the next ten minutes.

We are overusing salt for winter storms.

Have we discussed getting called “hun” by women who are less than 80yo, ITT?
How do we feel about the full "honey"? Because I swooned when our 60 year old waitress at a Tennessee diner called me that.

I'm okay with this, esp if in TN and / or the context is a diner.Have we discussed getting called “hun” by women who are less than 80yo, ITT?

Not sure if this is the correct thread but can we relax with the salt distribution? Even after the snow melts the entire city is covered in an inch of salt. It gets on everything. Shoes, cars, you name it.

Omg yes, it's awful. Way too much.
