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.

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.

Usually at the liquor store. Makes you wonder if they are able to park (which can be more demanding than driving at times).

You know what the most disgusting/annoying thing ever that I just discovered? The 40/50ish year old guys who waters himself down in cologne and takes a crap in the only men's bathroom of the building. The stench of the mixture is unreal and I feel like I walk into it every morning here.

Women's pants: Either put a pocket or don't put a pocket, but eff this fake pocket bullshit. 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!
Which pocket? Like a back pocket or an front quad pocket?

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

You don't drive around MHK everyday. The bike lanes help so they don't slow down traffic but changing lanes without signaling, not dismounting for crosswalk crossings, and blowing through stop signs. It's a miracle nobody has died yet.

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.

The Facebook thing where you write A small amount of text and it makes it into a huge image with a colored background

It does it without asking? I guess I don't post, but this knowledge might make me judge the posters less harshly.
Yes if your post is under a certain length it makes it bigger and a color. You can change to another color though.

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.

you didn't say there were not relevant, you said they were a fictitious representation of how many times around the sun we have obtained ant that your birthday just signifies that you have completed that many "years"(revolutions) and are starting your age + 1 years of life and which is based on a fictitious way of counting our perceived time in this universe.
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.

this is a strange position, I revoke it and return to my original statement. I won't delete it so the weight of my past actions shames me into improvement.

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!!!

I don't go from 0-100 mad very often but I parked by myself in an empty parking lot and I come back and someone has parked super close to me while the parking lot is still rough ridin' empty. I was extremely close to keying that persons car.
i would spit on their drivers window. harmless but makes me feel better

"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.

When I occasionally want to inconspicuously print something at work for personal use and people printing work related stuff are hogging up the printer. Why are they even printing so much crap for work anyway? Aren't we supposed to be paperless?
Secure print with Xerox has allowed me to time these better.

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...

People that laugh at things that aren't funny, like while they say random anything. I think it's a nervousness thing but it annoys the eff out of me.
We have an engineer at work that was in a car wreck way back (I didn't know him before), he's still incredibly smart but he has these ticks and things that would make you question if he can even spell Qhats.
Well anyway, one of them is this same laughing thing, it's insane.

You guys should try to get private offices, they are great
This. Elimination of pet peeves is as easy as closing the door.
Had one. Company went to an open floor plan for basically everyone to improve interaction and collaboration. It's dumb.
Thank God every day that I'm staff level. All the commoners have open office. So nice to close the door and kick up the Flip 4.
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.

New offices have all-glass interior-facing walls. No more wristers in the privacy of your own four walls :(
Also, our Denver office has floors that don't even have a single regular shutting door, only sliding doors.

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

I don’t really care what the metrics say. At 16-15, Texas is not an NCAA Tournament team. But I know they’ll be in, so whatever.
thank you guys for validating my hatred of people (riley) doing this.

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.

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.

Referring to podcasts as "the pod"that made me cringe a little bit, awful
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.

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.

If you request "no onions" you are giving the cook extra work to get a worse dish. If you pick out the onions in the restaurant you are insulting the cook. Do it at home or order something different in the restaurant
Also I bet you eat onions all the time and don't realize it
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!

the chicken fried rice was probably pre-made in a large batch with chicken added after the fact and even if it was made to order onions are a critical part of the fried rice recipe
order white rice and chicken

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.

im talking about the ones now labeled "crunchy" that are drier and harder than any other dry or hard foodsYeah and by the time you pull one of the bars out of the sleeve, 1/3 of it has already disintegrated into dust.

nature valley granola barsI think crunchy granola bars are dumb. The whole purpose of a granola bar is breakfast while I'm driving. I don't want to be covered in a shower of granola bar dust when I get to where I am going.

I don't know if this as much a pet peeve as a general observance, but I've been sorta job searching and on linkedin a bit but holy crap do people on there love stories about kids with downs syndrome or a homeless guy getting rescued with a jobSaw one today of a before and after picture of a white cop saving an African American girl from years ago to her college graduation today. The before and after photo. No caption needed kinda post.

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.

My kids hate to eat the last bowlful of cereal in the box because it has too many crumbs and is mushy.

it's like facebook for jobs/business. so like instead of sharing stuff about your dumb kids you share stuff about your dumb job. it's great for seeing who works where

when someone prefaces a statement with "honestly..." or "to be honest with you..." and then they say something that isn't brave/controversial/hot take/etc.
not gonna lie.... and then says something that nobody would lie about anyway

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.

Yeah, best mode of communication
Post by: puniraptor on May 26, 2021, 09:39:00 PM
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?
Post by: puniraptor on May 26, 2021, 09:42:09 PM
like, just dont answer. every other being on the planet with your cellphone number is supposed to memorize your daily itinerary?
I thought this peeve was over since nobody talks on the phone anymore.

"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.

Have we covered various forms of corporate-speak (for lack of a better term) in this thread? For example:
"We are introducing new workflows" translates to "we are going screw up the process that has been working perfectly well for you and make your job more painful and tedious"
"I will loop them in" = "I might talk to the person I manage who is effing that thing up for you and make them stop"
"does Employee X 'feel empowered to ask questions'"? = "do you think this person knows when they have no idea how to do a vital function of their job?"

I quit my job at CBS News. Covering a beat like reproductive rights at such a legendary institution has been an amazing experience. Thank you to the people that made it possible: My talented colleagues & the courageous people that trusted me to share their stories.
When I think about it I kind of get that it's different from news news but still
