Websites that don't let you stay logged in forever. Why do I have to enter my username and password for Wikipedia every month? What horrible catastrophe would occur if I let someone use my computer and they looked something up on Wikipedia while logged in as me? And why is it OK if it was within 30 days of me last logging in?

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:You totally can, but one of two things is gonna happen: I used to work at a Canadian dollar store and my favorite thing to do was tell people I wasn't going to take their 200 pennies. Legally we don't have to accept more than 25 pennies in a transaction. Most would get so mad and just storm out of the store.

Yesterday morning I saw one who was expecting it to change for so long that by the time it did, he was in the middle of the intersection. I hate it when I'm in the right turn lane waiting for a chance to turn on red and the fucker going straight through keeps inching up so I can't see oncoming traffic so I inch up and they inch up too WHAT IS YOUR GODDAMN PROBLEM LET ME MAKE MY TURN

It'd take too long to explain with words, but these fuckers who show up in the corner store line. They basically inch forward slowly until they're almost up your rear end, then lean over you blocking you in so they can try to put their stuff down instead of waiting you to finish paying and walking away. So now you have to basically back up into their dick and apologize because how dare you touch them and get in their way of buying energy drinks and cat food. They always loving do it when I'm paying with a debit card too so I'm trapped there and can't just shuffle to one side. If the other cashier is there they effectively block off people from being able to walk over to them too, so everyone else in line gets pissed at both of you for holding them up. Fuuuuuuck these guys.

Maybe it's new and they're just babying it? I know whenever I drive a really nice car I granny it up a bit.

This happened to me today: Unload all the groceries on the belt, wait while she rings them up, then swipe the card. ERROR CANNOT PROCESS Repeat x 3, until the people behind me are making loud comments about my ancestry. Finally broke down and used the other card, which, thankfully, worked. The first card? Worked perfectly at the next place we stopped. If you want a cashless/card based society, fix the goddamned readers.

So you didn't manage to find the 16th item you wanted to buy before leaving for work? gently caress you, gonna empty this cart in 15 minutes!

I dunno, man, I could think of lots of better ways to use my time than by making changes on an enormous dry-erase board where everyone in the world has a marker and then waiting and watching to make sure nobody comes along and erases my changes or--even worse--changes my changes. That said, some people are well-suited for such endeavors and seem to enjoy them, so

Office peeves: I hate it when I get a packet in the mail and it's not stapled. Even worse if it's paperclipped. Stapling takes 5 seconds, people! Do it. We get a lot of mail. Stuff can get separated, get stuck to other sheets or just plain get lost. Paperclips can fall off, easily. Staple your poo poo! Elevators. Call me crazy, but if I have to go up or down just one floor, I take the stairs. I get a flash of white hot anger when I take the elevator from the 4th floor down to the first and I have to stop for the lazy chucklefucks on the 2nd floor who can't be arsed to walk down one flight of stairs!  Obviously, you get a pass if you're disabled, injured, or you're carrying something heavy or unwieldy, or pushing a cart. I'm not completely heartless.I also can't stand it when I'm getting off the elevator and there's some braindead idiot standing RIGHT IN FRONT of the doors waiting to get on. Hey, rear end in a top hat, other people use these things besides you. Stand to the side s bit or a step or two back, for chrissakes!

I'm completely certain "vaca" has been in use in the US since before the internet took off and enabled people to steal slang from other countries on the regular. My mom's been saying it since at least back in the '80s and she's definitely not trying to sound like Doctor Who or whatever

Other elevator peeve: When anyone gets on the elevator and immediately jams the door close button. The doors are going to close in like 5-10 seconds, this does not speed up your trip any. I'm not even 100% sure those buttons do anything. Other office chat: People who do not mute their lines when on a conference call. Nothing spikes my blood pressure quite like hearing someone breath very heavily into their phones from a quarter-inch away.

Related to supermarkets, I hate it when people come into the fruit/vegetable section with their huge carts. Can't you see there's a lot of people picking poo poo up and doing lines (to weight) and you're blocking the path? Why can't you just leave the cart in another aisle and THEN carry what you picked to it? I just hate it so much, even more when they move the cart to the line as well. It makes the line too long and cumbersome. You have ARMS people, you can pick up some bags! Those tomatoes are NOT that heavy

People who burn microwave popcorn at work. I've made popcorn before, there is literally a popcorn on the microwave button that makes it perfect. It is a loving industrial microwave so using the same time you use at home will not work. That poo poo stinks up the office for like an hour. Also people who try to make a point and their sentence with "so" and then trail off. Example: "Well I don't think that's a good idea, so..."

Hey, rear end in a top hat, other people use these things besides you. Stand to the side s bit or a step or two back, for chrissakes! This kills me because it's happened at my workplace several times. Just a 3 floor building but occasionally we have to haul equipment up from the basement garage. There's always some lazy dipshit standing a foot from the door, dead center, not even looking ahead until they hear the *ding* and see someone trying to get out. No, of course it's not inconvenient for your fat, stupid, lazy rear end to try to shove onto a nearly full elevator with 3 people trying to offload heavy network equipment because you can't wait a whole 30 seconds or take the steps down, no sir

Now, I don't mean a minute or two late, but if we agree to meet at 4pm and you show up at 420, yes, I have a right to be ticked. You can call, rear end in a top hat. You can even text! gently caress, I once waited for someone for a drat hour before he called to say he got into a movie and forgot we were meeting up. Does your boss let you skate by if you're a few minutes late? Maybe. An hour? I doubt it. People who borrow your things, break them, and put them back like they found them that way. I've had several chargers and cords at work busted or outright snapped, and the pieces quickly shoved back into the locker as if I broke them myself and just forgot?

I usually don't mind lending my stuff out but most recently, at my job, I let someone borrow my phone charger. I'm OCD about keeping my poo poo clean and unbroken, I got it back with the plastic shielding coming apart near the USB connector. I bought a new cable and keep it locked in my desk, it's amazing how many people will still try to borrow poo poo after they break it. I'm all "nope, gently caress that, you want another cable you can buy one like I had to when you BROKE MINE, jackass"

We were all disgusted but then this guy walked in and said, "I'll take it, I love burned popcorn." This was not your average, run-of-the-mill burned popcorn. Chunks of it were blackened and fused together. It's been almost 20 years and I still have the image in my brain of him reaching in, delicately picking up a chunk of charred popcorn, blowing off the tiny flame, and popping it in his mouth. Cowslips Warren posted:My mom's work has a policy where no one can keep fish in the fridge or pretty much any kind of seafood. I think the next step is to ban popcorn. Mine does too, at least in our building. Our break room is directly behind the reception desk and directly below the C-suite and the conference rooms where VIP guests go. If you want to heat up fish, you have to do it in the building where the caf (and, I suppose, regular un-fancy assholes) are.
