Pet Peeves

[BIG APPLE CAT]

my coworker Ted's (whomst i have described at length in the hilarious things at your office thread) wife is having a baby soon so everyone signed a card and he just thanked us in a group chat and referred to her as "the wife" which is completely 100% on brand for ol' Ted

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.

My guess of this blog’s top 10 sex-havers:
1. Beems
2 thru 8: still Beems
9. Spracs
10. ksublumpkin (by volume)

I had totally forgot about beems claim to have bagged 100+ pelts.

Some of my HS friends were in the same frat as him and I remember some good stories from them. Can't remember the exact details but one pelt involved an attempt at anal and a large Lincoln log being left in the middle of the floor one night that was there the next morning.

Lincoln logs?? Oh my. Not to kink shame but that seems like the kind of thing that takes a while to build some trust not just a whim with some slampiece you bagged that night

It's a very petty one but I don't like it when adults use "zip" for zero when saying the score.

"What's the score???"
"Three-zip."

My friend, you sound like a child.

Nil sounds pretentious

"zip" is like "bucks" (for dollars) in that is sounds very 1940s

Yeah that was on purpose!

Also could have subbed "shitty Etsy shop proprietor" or "pyramid scheme participant" for "contractor"

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.

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.

That reminds me how much it bugs me when anyone other than me loads the dishwasher.
