Since we're just calling out individual posters now..


Exactly.  That kid in Novograd is screwed either way.  Why not use the one that kills less american soldiers?

Tiktoks (or “reels”) where a person “secretly films” their friend/partner/coworker singing so the public can hear their beautiful voice.

My FB has been flooded with these recently for some reason.

I never used to complain about the number of emails I receive or the total irrelevance most of them have to my life, but it is getting absurd.

Can we add expense reports to the list? What a tedious annoying thing to do after a long work trip.

Does your company use OneDrive? Scan the receipt with your OneDrive app. Name it with restaurant and total. Save to your Expenses folder.. Save emailed receipts in same manner. Speeds up the process bigtime when it's time to add the receipts to your expense report. I can knock it out a monthly report in 15 minutes.

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

I use SwiftScan. I do gather receipts tho and do it when I get back from trips. I probably travel like once a month for work.

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

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

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

To me a pet peeve is something you find annoying that most other people don't notice / care about

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.

I also receive 50 emails a day some days. Those days are some weekend days, Christmas, Thanksgiving (Day), and the Fourth of July.

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:
