Kugyou no Tenshi posted:People who use the Greek letter Sigma as an "E" to make something look "Greek". Saw a billboard for a local University that used it as the first "E" in "PLEDGE". Yes, I would love to "PLSDGE" a fraternity. I'm studying the Greek language, and that annoys me, too. In addition to "Σ" for "E", people often use "Λ" for "A" such as in the posters for The Da Vinci Code. I see THE DΛ VINCI CODE and have to stop and think about it for DΛ to be "DA" and not "DL". I have also heard Russians complaining about making something look "Russian" by turning the "R" letters backwards. The "Я" letter sounds nothing like the English "R".

I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard multiple Russian people say for them that sort of thing isn't just annoying, it actually causes headaches. Like, instinctively switching languages within the same word is actually physically painful somehow.

Mine are basically very easy. - Cars not using signals. Covered a 100 times in the thread, no need to go on and on. - The "ew anime" crowd. Yes, congratulations, you've noticed anime has irritating fans. Your hobby does too. Everyone's hobby does. I know how to carry on like an adult and don't judge others for their hobbies. It isn't very hard. - Special snowflake names. I work in IT. Please don't assume I know how to spell your name because it MIGHT sound normal. - Whining about passwords. Yes, it sucks. Everyone has to do it. Get over it and learn how to craft a simple password. It isn't asking you to decode anything.

People who don't say or send a thank you after receiving a gift. I don't need a loving thank you card. But leave a voicemail, send a text, loving Facebook message me and say you got the gift so I don't go trying to track it the gently caress down. ESPECIALLY if the gift is for your kid and I am trying to be nice and send them a cool present. You have LESS OF A loving EXCUSE IF YOU WORK AT HOME and picked up the box seconds after the delivery guy set it down! loving say you got it! Even a 'thanks, got the box, thank you!' is better than loving nothing. People driving 15+ over the speed limit and honking as they pass you. Hey fucker, I'm already doing 5 over and this is a company van, I am NOT getting a loving speeding ticket, okay? You want to drive 80 in a 65, you do it. No, telling the police that you were 'driving with the speed of traffic' won't make the ticket go away.

People who cannot be without their significant others. One of my friends literally goes nowhere without her husband. Another mutual friend and I invited her for "girls' dinner" on Saturday, and this following conversation ensued: "Do you want to do girls' dinner on Saturday? You, me, Jax, Rachel." "I do want girls' dinner! But I work til 6:30 or so. How late are they open?" "I think til 11? How long would it take you to drop Ben off and get there?" "Hahaha. Ben won't permit not coming. I can tell him he can only come if he acts gay?" "Oh, we were hoping for just a girls' dinner." "That's fine, let us know next unisex activity." I know both of them, and I am 99.9% sure he is not the one "not permitting" anything. She has invited him to multiple dinners without consulting the people who invited her, and now I'm just sick of it. I love the guy, he's really sweet, but I really don't want to talk about my personal life with him, I want to talk about it with my friend. It's just ridiculous that once in a while she is not willing to go out without him. I've been in a relationship for 5 years, I think she's been with her husband for a little longer than that (6-7 years) so it's not some honeymoon period crap either, it's just weird codependency.

Shoelaces. I don't know what's up, but tying my shoelaces feels like some unnecessary step. I actually either buy slip-ons or leave my shoes tied, slipping my feet in and out. Lately I also can't stand people singing without music. I blame last year's roommate - he would sing constantly, badly, always an octave up from the regular.

I hate being told what to do, but not in the usual being bossed around way or whatever. If I haven't thought of it that's fine, what really irks me is when I am thinking about what I'm going to do and I plan to do something next and then someone tells me to do just that. So it's the fact someone has presumed what my next move should be and I hate that I fulfilled those expectations especially when I was already going to do that! My wife does it to me all the time eg. I'm doing something boring like washing the dishes and I'm thinking 'after I do this I'll take the bins out'. A little bit later on when I'm finishing up the dishes my wife comes in and says to me 'hey, don't forget to take the bin out'.  This is actually a twofer because every Tuesday night I put the bins out. Every Tuesday night she'll remind me. We've been living here 7 years. Stop telling me poo poo I already loving know and do every other loving Tuesday night, gently caress. hambeet has a new favorite as of 04:50 on Aug 1, 2013 |

People in shops who don't leave you alone is a huge peeve of mine. Constantly following me about and recommending items to me drives me away from your business. I like to browse in peace, not under the ever watching eye of a motherfucking hovering sales hawk. Even worse than this though are those pushy hustling waiters who pounce on you and wont shut the gently caress up when your reading the menu display out in the street. gently caress off gently caress off, if you starting reading the menus out to me I will 100% walk on and shun your business forever you annoying prick. Oh yeah, and tourists. I almost aways travel in the off season because tourists do my nut in.

I hate hate HATE when people ask me about the relationship status of mutual friends. Just ask them directly! If you're afraid they'll tell you that it's none of your business, then it is none of your business. Why would you put me in that awkward position?! This happens with such stunning regularity that I just default to "I'm not sure what x has shared or not shared with the general public, so to err on the side of caution and to respect their privacy and boundaries, I'd rather not get into it. I'm sure if you got in touch with them and asked how they are doing, they'd really appreciate it!" Seriously. I have that in a text file to copy paste and edit as needed per person because so many fuckers are too damned nosy. You know WHY people trust me with personal poo poo? Because I have a life outside of gossiping over who is currently loving who. drat!

Every time I've eaten them since, my girlfriend has to say, "hey, remember that time you ate raw chicken livers, had diarrhea for a whole week, and ruined our vacation?"  Okay, I'm well aware of my stupidity, and that's not what I want to talk about when I'm about to eat, but it didn't really bother me until she kept doing it every time—and now that she knows it annoys me, she's even more determined to bring it up. I love her, but sometimes it feels like I'm living with someone's annoying dad.

Fascinator posted:Related pet peeve: I travel often for research abroad. Yeah, it's fun as poo poo, and I get to visit really cool places. Not denying that. But I am not on loving vacation! I work 50+ hours a week when I'm on research trips, just because it happens to be in southern Spain doesn't mean that it's the same thing as your family trip last year. Whenever I hear someone say "Oh man I wish I could go on cool vacations all the time like Fascinator" I basically grind my teeth into powder. This. Oh, God, this. My spouse is not in academics, and cannot understand why I'm not backpacking through Europe 'during the school holiday' (ie the six weeks of the summer when I finally get to work on my own research rather than dealing with student affairs, administrative BS, writing loads of new lectures and all of the other assorted tasks and chores I have to do). Since I haven't taught class since late March, and lectures don't start up again until September, he's convinced I'm just laying around and should be doing something 'fun and productive.' My research IS fun and productive for me, but he just scoffs and says there's no way that I actually work 50-60 hours a week. 'I'll bet none of your colleagues are shut up in a stuffy room 'working' all summer.'  He actually asked if I were going to get a part time job for the four months I'm 'not doing school stuff.' He's not unique; when I was acting as caretaker for my mom, I was at another university and had all of my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that I could work from home to better look after her. She'd get on the phone and tell people I was lazy and only worked two days a week. And from everyone else: 'You only lecture three classes a semester? So a total of 9 hours a week? Must be nice!' Variations of which I'm sure every teacher hears. For the record, I have a full time professoring position; I'm trying to get new lectures together, write a book review, revise a paper for publication, finalising committee work ahead of getting a new concentration in our department validated (I'm the program director) and sort out a tediously long paper that's part of a certification application before school starts back up -- all of which are going towards promotion at the end of June 2014. But that's just 'playing around' and not real work, I guess. It makes me very frustrated and sad. Ms Boods has a new favorite as of 12:46 on Aug 1, 2013 |

People who scrape their fork on their plate when eating. Ugh, it's the worst. All forms of "people lacking situational awareness" meaning people stopping while walking right in front of you, pulling a U-turn and running smack into you, looking at their phone and narrowly avoid colliding with you, etc. People mixing up "At will employment" with "Right to work." At-will employment is the one where you can be fired for no reason, right to work deals with union issues. It's not hard, but I always see "...and I can be fired for no reason cause I live in a Right to Work state," and just  .E: Also, I seem to kill threads. Whenever I post, even in fairly active threads, it seems like activity dies down. I am not saying that's happening now, but it seems to happen a lot to me. E2: People scraping their teeth on their fork is equally as annoying. WampaLord has a new favorite as of 16:42 on Aug 1, 2013 |

Being stuck in a group text message or instant message. I hate you people for continuing to have a conversation that I don't want to be a part of and there is no way for it to stop unless you tell everyone to take their messages privately. Older, less tech-inclined people are bad about responding to a group message and then starting a two way conversation for 10 other people to get updates on. Nobody cares. Please stop. My aunt had group messaged a bunch of people photos of her granddaughter and my mom was included in that mass text. After a stupid conversation about babies and how cute they are began, my mom politely asked that they take their conversation out of the group setting and then was barraged by intrusive and rude texts from someone she didn't know, asking who she was and why she had a problem with their conversation. Maybe it's because you're blowing up my phone with your personal conversations, you poo poo lord.

I have this issue on Facebook. I mostly use Facebook as a one stop shop for communicating with friends living internationally, of which I have quite a few, and it's pretty convenient for that. I don't get very many actual messages on FB otherwise - mostly just throw stuff back and forth on friends' walls - but I do use them for these distant friends fairly often. Every now and then though I'll get a group message from someone, usually a party invite, and then for a goddamn week I'll get on to FB and see the bright red indicator that I have a new message and think "great, Bob in Korea or whoever sent a message!" only to find nothing but a bunch of inane chatter about a party I'm not going to anyway. I need to remember to delete that crap.

When options on phones/ATM's are redundant. For example, the ATM nearest to me has a "cash only" button, when I press cash only, I expect to be taken to a screen where I can pick the amount of money I would like, however, the people in charge of the prompts decided that I would have to go through "Would you like to see your account balance?" & "would you like a receipt?" before I can pick an amount of money, and then afterwards it goes to "would you like a receipt?" again. No I want only cash that's why I picked cash only.Student Finance England does it as well, one of the first things it asks you to do it type in your Customer Reference Number, after doing so, a robot lady comes on the line saying "If this call is in regards to retrieving a forgotten Customer Reference Number, please check online", I literally JUST typed it in, I know my reference number, stop making me listen to redundant and useless advice, this call is costing me like 8p a minute! Who ever puts together these scripts/prompts needs to have a word with themselves.

JoeyJoJoJr Shabadoo posted:Also, assholes that don't bag their own groceries at Trader Joe's. This pretty much only happens in the suburban ones where extremely rich people live, not in the city ones where normal people live. Trader Joe's doesn't have baggers. The bags are right there in front of you. You're making the poor cashier bag the $300 ENORMOUS PILE of groceries and won't even lift a finger to help him. The lady literally bought a pile of groceries three feet high that took up the whole register and bagging area. And the poor guy spent 20 minutes bagging it. All while she played around on her iphone. Also, she paid with a check. Left that last bit in so I can answer it, but you won't like the answer. It's so when you pay they can track your purchases. It's also so that you have their card in your wallet serving as a little free billboard 24 hours a day. Anyway, I worked at Trader Joes (no club card!) for two years so I can rant on some of this other stuff too. People who don't bag are generally pretty awful, but there's further degrees of awful they can be. They can add a step, like: 1. Not bagging but pretending to help by shoving various items randomly towards your hands while you're working 2. Taking things out of bags you've finished with and putting them back on the register because they aren't matching a bagging scheme they haven't told you about 3. Giving you a rancid ancient bag that already has stuff in it and then stopping you while you try to bag so they can fish the stuff that was in there out 4. Complain about bag weight (this one can certainly be a legit complaint), but do it by pretending to lift the bag, nearly falling over, and shouting "oof too heavy oh no!" I get it. You could have said light early, and your fakity-rear end soccer foul isn't engaging my sympathy circuits. I had a lady who pulled this move on, no poo poo, a bag containing a single container of juice and nothing else 5. Do everything in their power to leave the cart at my register ("Well I could push all twelve of these bags out to the car or the cart queue but instead I'll just sherpa-load my whole family and leave you with a cart in your way that you can't deal with, I'm helping!") 6. Actually help with bagging, then decide after 3 bags that you should have been doubling those bags and insist on trying to double full bags, leaving a storm of ripped in half bags in your wake Also in regards to putting stuff down wherever, yeah we hated that too. I generally found it funny when people would leave random things in random spots though. We once had an old couple digging around in the Charles Shaw wine, god knows why, and they were putting bottles on the floor as they dug around on the shelf. When they left there were about 24 bottles of Shaw just sort of idly rolling around on the floor where they had been. For about a month my boss insisted on experimenting with a 10 items express lane. Our initial discussion about it at the store meeting was "don't enforce it. It's just a sign. If someone comes through with 12 items don't fight them about it." Of course this led to a couple loving stupid things. One, random employees deciding they were item cops all "Whoa sorry, that's 11 items you have to go to the long line" even after we made it clear it wasn't to be enforced, and two, customers getting in huge arguments with each other in the express line about how they had too much or too little stuff, which led to people smugly splitting their items into 10 items in a cart and 7 items in their hands that were a "separate, also express" transaction. Yay, that speeds things up dumbfuck!

I hate it when I type faster than a webpage loads and I'm left with half-finished or unintelligible search queries by the time I hit enter and end up with some bullshit I wasn't looking for. This is also the case for keypads on debit/credit machines, ATMs, and gas pumps. Swipe card, beepboopboopbeep with my PIN, next screen screen is "please reenter PIN" (  ), so again with the beepboopboopbeep but I typed it too fast again and the first two numbers didn't enter properly and now the machine is telling me to "please see cashier" and all I want is some gas and holy loving poo poo Then, I compose myself, try it again, and very slowly and very precisely enter my four digit PIN into the gas pump. BEEP *10 minutes pass by* BOOP *2 months pass by* BOOP *half a year passes by* BEEP *2 whole years have passed by* "please see cashier"  Having fast fingers sucks sometimes.

You Are A Elf posted:"please see cashier" How about when the pump outside asks "SELECT DEBIT OR CREDIT" *hits credit button* "PLEASE SWIPE CARD" *swipes card* "CREDIT? YES/NO" *hits yes button* "SELECT GRADE AND BEGIN FUELING" You already asked that!

Holy crap, all this time I had no idea I was supposed to be bagging my own poo poo at TJ's. Granted, I don't buy an entire week's worth of groceries like some of you are describing, but I always thought I'd be getting in the way if I tried to bag up my one sack of groceries. I already feel like poo poo forgetting to bring my own bags (every time! every time I say I'm going to remember next time, but I never do and I end up guiltily shoving everything into my purse), and now I feel doubly bad. TJ employees, you have my apologies. I'll help next time! For what it's worth I think your store is the bomb diggity!

Songs that rhyme words with themselves. That Kelly Clarkson song Mr. Know it All drives me up the loving wall.

Heh for the record the cashiers give zero shits about whether or not you brought bags and actively hate hearing about how you almost brought them, because it's in that genre of poo poo they'll hear four hundred times today along with "it didn't ring up, it must be free" and "wow it's raining!" Best to just grab a paper bag and start bagging, or chill out and let the cashier work. They don't care about bagging, they just care about customers making it annoying to bag. :-)

OK, I feel less bad. I don't make excuses about how, whoops, they're totally in the car, I just forgot to bring them in, I just shame-facedly shove things in my purse, unless there's an entire bag of food on the belt. From now on I'll help bag, though. I never even thought about that.
