People who walk into a building or gated area and then stop dead in their tracks to figure out where to go next. You wouldn't drive into a town, come to a sudden stop in the middle of the road, and then stay right where you are until you figure out where you need to go. Just move to one side, or at least wait until you're out of the narrow entrance before you atop.

People leaving the photocopier top up. People who get mad at me because the copier "isn't working" when they are just really too loving simple in the head to work the thing, then claim "I was doing that!" when I go press the loving START COPYING button and it magggggically works again. People who don't even bother using any sort of logic when it comes to computers or other technology. I think if I was in tech support I'd go completely mental. Maybe I already have. People who jingle as they walk due to keys, coins, dumbass jangly jewelry, etc. When I am just sitting there minding my own business with my normal or thinking face, and people ask me, "Oooooh, what's wronggggg? SMILE!!!" gently caress right off. I don't think there's anything else that induces such rage in me. The only thing worse is when they do that but also poke me or pull on my ponytail. What the gently caress.

ReD_XIII posted:I normally don't give a poo poo about terrible grammar, if I understand what you meant it's usually ok and this does not apply to people who speak English as a second language. That being said, when someone says someone like "He's older than me" it drives me loving insane. The full sentence is "he's older than I am" not "he's older than me am" you illiterate troglodyte. I'm not going to correct your 5 year old grammar but just know I noticed. That's the normal way to say it.

How is it even possible to have a family or social life without frequently eating with others? Are you some manner of tortoise or something? How? With extraordinary ease. What I find Sisyphean is being depraved for the sake acceptance and a perceived simplicity when the adverse saves time, money, and yourself from the slop trough whenever people think of you, also sparring them a similar fate.

And speaking of work, assholes who talk poo poo when walking out the door. Fine if they never come back, but they do, and they walk in like I'm just going to be all smiles.

I work in a hotel and can't stand it when people call to ask how to get to the hotel from wherever the gently caress they're at. I dunno how people manage to find our phone number without also finding our address. It's 2013, use your smartphone or computer to get directions so I don't have to spend forever explaining and repeating poo poo over the phone because you don't listen. Bonus points if they're already on their way here and call to ask where we are. What kind of dumbass starts heading for their destination without getting directions first?

Avshalom posted:Are you sure they wouldn't? They do in parking lots*, but not usually in the middle of the drat road, no. *Another pet peeve. People cruising slooooooowly around the parking lot looking for the "best" space when there's 200+ open spaces that are an extra 150 feet away. It's not raining, it's not super hot, it's not going to be either of those things today, just loving park already. Tying into that, people who treat parking lots as though the road rules don't apply there. Driving on the wrong side, driving the wrong way through a one-way system, ignoring pedestrian crossings, ignoring stop signs, etc. Tying into that is people in local areas who have decided that the road rules work differently from normal in this one spot (like, "everyone knows" that this one particular stop sign or one-way street magically doesn't count). It happens way more often that I'd have believed before I regularly drove all over the city. Leper Residue posted:It's not "What is your address," it's "How do I get to your place from where ever the gently caress I am." I don't know, never been there. And if I have been there, never had to get to work from there. The opposite situation. If I ask for your address, give me your address. Don't say "Get on Sticks Road and when you see the barn turn onto Boondock Road and then take the third left but don't count the one that goes more kinda leftish than actually left and then when you see Shitfuck Avenue you do a u-turn and it's the first on your left after that but ignore the intersection with the traffic lights because that's a carpark and then it's about a furlong up that road past the house with the red gate but before the shop with the red gate it has rocks in the front yard and you can't miss it". Say "It's 112 Lost Twat Road". I promise you I'll loving find it. Elector_Nerdlingen has a new favorite as of 07:25 on Jul 5, 2013 |

I don't mind telling them what crossroad we're at and stuff, but yeah, I would absolutely print directions or use a smartphone before I went to an unfamiliar town. There was one time, though, when a lady wanted me to stay on the phone with her until she got to the parking lot. She passed the hotel by about a mile so first I had to figure out where she was and then talk her backwards until she got there. It was a slow night, and she was very appreciative, so the end result was fine.

Bonus points if they're already on their way here and call to ask where we are. What kind of dumbass starts heading for their destination without getting directions first? On a similar note, I hate it when companies have big, flashy websites with flash, background music, radio buttons that open menus that you have to navigate with surgical precision so they don't close and all that crap- but it's impossible to find the hours and address. Seriously, and especially if you don't offer online shopping or are a restaurant of all things, why would you hide the most important information? I type hours into the provided search bar, and all I get are a testimonials that have the word hours in them. I give up and Google it, and I get 3 different results. After finding it buried somewhere, I'm seriously disinclined to want to go to that place if I have other options, and besides, they really must not want money, because I'm trying to give it to them but they won't even tell me where or when. That, and I hate being hard sold or upsold on stuff. No, I don't want an banana, day old wedge sandwich or two king size chocolate bars for $4 with my can of Coke Zero. No, I don't want a 5-year extended warranty on this $15 item. Yes, I'm sure that I want what I just ordered. I also hate it when you go into a store and the prices on everything are hidden, and the instant you so much as stop to look at something, you get pounced on by an associate. I realize that it usually isn't the employee's fault, but it's goddamn annoying. It's a coat, I don't need help trying it on, and I'll tell you if I want it or not. I just want to know how much it is! The big one for me though- charity muggers. Bonus if they follow you, touch you, or make a snippy comment when you don't stop. I don't know who exactly will listen to someone in a Day-Glo vest who stops them on the street, then listens to a pitch and decides that right then and there that it is the perfect time and place to give that person your banking information. I will never donate to charities that engage in this practice, and the one I do already support that does it, every year I write them and ask them to discontinue the practice. I do not want my money going into supporting this scummy and almost universally annoying tactic.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have the time?" "Sure, it's a half-past quarter to a rooster's morning crow at seven past eight within a half-past half-an-hour to a quarter of 15 minutes to the rooster's second-morning crow at a jiffy's quarter past eight o'clock." "Thanks..."Just tell me it's 8:45 because it saves you a lot of breath and syllables, and I get my solid answer. Why do people (seems to be older folk) have to throw in "quarters" and "half-pasts" and other dumb things? Think about it: "it's a quarter past/to six" sounds ridiculous. Just say "it's 6:15/5:45" and be done with it, already. JUST GIVE ME THE TIME.

The worst part about this is that a quarter is 25 in my mind, not 15. For years I though a quarter till whatever was Hour:35 and a quarter past was Hour:25. Even now it takes me like 10 seconds for my brain to process whatever the gently caress they're saying and I have to count minus 15 or plus 30 or whatever and JUST TELL ME THE GODDAMN TIME  Edit: ok I guess TECHNICALLY 1/4 of 60 is 15 but it still confuses the poo poo out of me.

When sharing an article or something that you find interesting, and think that the people you're sharing it will will also like it, and then there is that one douchebag who replies with some variant of "That's old," or "Last week called, they want their link back," or whatever. You want a goddamn cookie because you saw the same thing I did only sooner, and I didn't telepathically divine that you had? gently caress me for thinking I'd call your attention to something you might like, and apparently DID, because YOU DID IN FACT READ IT, JUST EARLIER? It falls in the same category as anything someone does to make themselves look better by pulling someone else down.

Trolleys that have chains and require you to put a £1 coin in to remove them from the stack, I hardly carry change and why the gently caress would I want your lovely trolley, if I really wanted one I'd nick one from Tesco or something.

I can't stand people that have loud conversations in public. First of all, I don't want my conversation to be public or announced to everyone within earshot, and secondly, I don't think anyone wants to hear it. I get especially annoyed when the person is using profanity or soapboxing some kind of social/political issue. People who are not prepared for something that then causes a delay for everyone else. If you're approaching a checkout line, information counter, etc. just be prepared. Don't act so surprised when they ask for you to pay for something or supply ID/paperwork. People who come dangerously close to you when changing lanes to pass. I can see you barreling down on me in my rearview mirror and I can also see that you have plenty of time to change into the lane next to me to pass before waiting for the last second. Why even bother risking it? That's how horrible accidents on freeways happen.

This'll just be a lot of repetition but... -chewing with your mouth open, or chewing between words. That wet smacking, slurping, mushy sound sort of drills right into my skull and makes me want to murder someone. -similarly, chewing on ice. Stop it. -living in Manhattan now. Tourists in groups. They fill sidewalks, and at every single loving crossing they stop to consult the map. Just move off to the side and let me and my kid through dammit. -people walking while looking at their phones. -people coming in to the train when I (and others) are getting off. However, I tend to just shoulder people out of the way...
