Pet Peeves

[Sandstone Outcropping]

Can the wind be a pet peeve? Sometimes the wind makes me really angry when it blows stuff around or I find myself getting angry and people who scheduled something outside on a windy day and I'm thinking  "this could have been an inside thing but we are outside getting buffeted by the wind and I feel peeved." (this might be a cross post to the shame yourself thread for me)

People that trick me by saying "have a nice flight" and I say "you too"!

at least with that one, you have some control over the situation. When someone tells me "have a safe flight" i'm like brother this one is out of my hands

I usually hit 'em with a "I'll try my hardest!"

Restaurants with exposed HVAC ducts need to stop referring to their meats as “protein options”.  Protein is great. Protein is essential for life. Some of us need to eat more than we currently eat. Can we stop fetishizing protein already?

What if tofu or beans is also an option?

People that conflate walking tacos & frito chili pie.

Also, if you’re browning hamburger in a skillet and adding some packet chili seasoning, that’s not chili.

People saying there can only be one Highlander. The Highlander is the main character from the Highlands of Scotland. They all aren’t Highlanders.

I’ve heard a variants of “he’s a Highlander” 3 times in the last week.

Why don't you "pull the trigger" and just unload on them LMAO

“pull the trigger” when deciding to buy something

First time I heard an Aussie used “flick” instead of “shoot” off an email, I suddenly realized how gun-centric we are.

Littering and letting dogs poop in other people’s yards. Just totally selfish antisocial behavior.

The new floor cleaning robot at my local qt. I can't even imagine how horrible it would be to work there and have to listen to it all day.

[Stupid Fitz]

rough ridin' smoke detector batteries. I swear the leader of big smoke detector gets his/her rocks off by the low battery process. I am also certain, they are all designed to go out in the middle of the night. The ones I own have a loud beep seemingly every 27 minutes when the batteries are low so with several it takes like an hour to figure out which one is beeping. Its enraging

[michigancat]

I become enraged at people who walk into a subway and just stand there in front of the door like they're the last person to get on instead of filling in empty space. It's a new thing for me, not sure why although my commute has changed a bit.

I got so angry one night I googled “why are my f” and google immediately autofilled “rough ridin' smoke detectors beeping.” Google knew it was 3am.

i have a similar thing when there is a group of people standing on a sidewalk (for example) with no way around them, and they notice me approaching but do nothing to get out of the way. some variation of "where would you like me to walk?" usually satisfies my midwestern passive aggressiveness

X post with “hilarious things at your office” thread but my new little bit is if I’m ever getting on the elevator with my colleagues that I know I’ll say “5, please” (our entire office is only on the 5th floor) or similarly if leaving the office at the same time as someone else I’ll say “1, please” total deadpan delivery. Absolutely murders ev-er-y time
