I know my reputation on the forums and all that but this is a genuine peeve and I don't know what it is: Strong Accents, particularly Southern. Someone calls me with a REALLY thick accent and it just drives me crazy. I can tell its going to be a bad time and usually I'm right. I think its because of the type of people i talk to rather than the accents themselves, but I find it bleeding over into my non-work life. If I hear a really strong New York or Southern Accent I immediately shut down and try to get away from the person. It makes me feel bad, but my brain just sees it as anathema for some reason.

ElwoodCuse posted:This is why the Cubs cannot be allowed to win the world series Yeah, I'm on the Cubs wagon because I live in Chicago and my primary team is in the AL (also I kind of hate baseball and only keep up with it as a general sports fan, plus there's nothing else in the summer), but since all of their best players are young they could easily turn from lovable losers into The Worst Fans in a few years.

So, this is pretty region-specific, but we have a vote coming up on Monday here in Canada, and I have heard, more than once, "I don't know who to vote for  " as a reason not to vote. It would take maybe fifteen minutes to look up all the major parties and go, "I guess I'm not really into a sin tax, so gently caress you, Green Party" or whatever.e: ALSO - 28 year olds who bitch about "being old" because people three years younger than them watched slightly different TV/don't remember floppy disks. Shut the gently caress up. Shut up. cash crab has a new favorite as of 20:01 on Oct 14, 2015 |

Horrible Smutbeast posted:Nothing will ever happen about stuff like that. I went to the hospital in an ambulance after I got raped (I didn't have a car or money for a taxi) and the paramedic spent the entire ride saying I was just faking it, I'm just a stupid whore who regrets having sex, think about who's life I'm going to ruin if I report the guy for the "not rape." I guess because I wasn't hysterically crying with mascara all over the place I couldn't be a victim? Just generally disgusting stuff like that while his partner nodded. This kind of poo poo disgusts me and makes me wish anyone making assumptions like that should be fired on the spot, especially when they've been 100% proven wrong about the situation. gently caress rear end in a top hat doctors and EMTs that just assume someone is faking it or making poo poo up, those kinds of selfish, stupid assholes should NEVER have jobs in the medical field and deserve to be publicly shamed.

People who can't think/do things for themselves. I had a guy at work today ask me if I could look up some data on something and export it to a spreadsheet. He has the same access to the data I do. I told him that there's not any way to export the data, but if he went to the site and looked at him himself, he'd see why. There's a TON of data and to put it to a spreadsheet would be a ton of work. He says he's never used the site. Fair enough, I hadn't either until recently so I had someone show me how. I sent him a very detailed email showing him step by step how to use it and get the data. He then asks me if I can call the lady that manages the site (not sure why he can't himself) and see if she can export the data into a spreadsheet. I reiterate to him that it's a ton of data and would just be more confusing in a spreadsheet. I then apologize for the long winded email and ask him if he looked at the site. He says he didn't. I tell him he should because it gives great data and lays it out in a way that's really easy to understand. No response. About 30 minutes later I get an email from the lady that manages the site saying that she received a call from the other guy and per their conversation she's going to try and extract the data into a spreadsheet for him, but it's going to take a few days. So, because this guy is a lazy rear end and just won't learn to look at the site he's got two other people running around going out of their way to get him the information he wants in WAY more time than if he just looked it up himself. So loving annoying.

People asking me/my wife about our reproductive plans, especially if I've just met them. Like, I'll have just met a friend/coworker of her parents at a party or something and they immediately ask when we're going to have kids. In what way is that an appropriate thing to ask? Especially if when we say "Not yet, maybe not ever" (which is our current opinion of kids) they say "Aww, I'm sure your parents want Grandchildren! You'll change your mind soon" For all they know we ARE trying or just suffered a miscarriage or something else and it might be a very sensitive subject. Thank god neither of our parents ever bug us about it.

Things that allow you to change settings, but don't have some kind of confirmation or save changes button or whatever. I always have to close whatever it was then go back in to make sure the change is still there. For instance, Facebook settings... I just changed it so videos don't autoplay anymore, give me a goddamn save changes button then notify me that my changes were saved, damnit.

The people I am talking about literally just have no idea what any of the Canadian parties are. Even though we have completely streamlined the party system to the point where you can generally parse out that "Liberal" means the party is pretty liberal, the conservatives are, duh, conservative, etc. This is high school level stuff. That being said, I can understand that you're a little disillusioned as an American. So far, the American elections are terrifyingly cartoonish. Maybe you'll enjoy this:

It's one thing if you're in a town you've never been in for just a day while traveling. However, one should know local landmarks in order to navigate. Many of the customers I work with can only find us via GPS even though we're right by a major landmark in a very noticeable building with 100 yards of parking lot on all 4 sides and a giant sign on top. I've had people nearly in tears when I tell them just take a left and a right off of 494 on Prairie Center Drive and you'll see it. I guess using GPS for all ones navigation is my pet peeve.

He'll change his mind when you get married!Me, age 35: We're not getting married. What?! Everyone get's married!!!Me: well, maybe that's part of the problem. I have paid my dues--all through my teens and twenties I faced tremendous pressure to get married young and have kids. Not just from my family but from partners too. It got to me enough that I said yes to a proposal I should have said no to. I was always upfront--even if I left myself open to the possibility of kids, I was still saying "maybe, but probably not." But I kept attracting guys who wanted tons of kids. One of them called me selfish for not wanting them; another told me it was my duty as a woman to have his kids. I FINALLY meet a guy who respects what I want to do with my own body and life, and now people are on HIM to change HIS mind. I handled my own mother; I'm letting him handle his. Mine finally gave up on me when I turned 25 and gained old maid status. Now I can live my own life with minimal invasive questions, though I still get the "why aren't you engaged yet?" (I don't want to be) and "you're running out of time!" (so?) and "you can still adopt!" (I don't want to). Holy poo poo people, just because you like kids doesn't mean everyone else does, too. I'm thrilled to find a guy who won't try to force his religious or family views on me, and all you can think about is how I'm shirking my duties of adding to the overpopulation problem? Come the hell on. I can't imagine what it's like for marrieds. At least I have the excuse of "let me get married first." You guys have no excuses.

Stop pretending these dumb polls mean anything and acting like he stands any kind of chance of winning. Same goes for all the other absurd candidates who aren't going to get anywhere near the election, but especially Trump. And this applies to comedy shows as well, because he's not even funny any more. The jokes have all been done, move on.

I have a kid and an married and I really don't get why people give other people who make the (probably wiser) choice not to do either a hard time. I love my kiddo, but I think its supremely stupid to pressure someone else to have kids if they honestly don't want them. It really pisses me off when my wife or anyone else removes the agency from someone else (and its always a woman, strange that) by acting incredulous when they don't want to have kids. Its like you're saying that they aren't adults capable of making their own decisions and really sounds similar to religious arguments. "You have to believe in Jesus! You just have to! Because thats what I was taught growing up!" *Clutches pearls*. Nuebot posted:Lying shitholes on one side who unquestionably hate the other side and will deny even the most basic and sane poo poo just to tell them no out of spite. I can see constant elections being a peeve, that does totally suck, and there is a lot to hate about the American political process. But to throw your hands up and say "it doesn't matter" or "they are both the same" is objectively wrong. If someone intentionally chooses not to participate because they don't like any candidate or are otherwise disenfranchised, I seriously understand that. What i don't get is when people ARE wanting to participate, DO want to engage people in debate, and their entire shtick is "it doesn't matter, I'm just gonna vote for whoever" or "I vote for the individual, not the party" as if everything happens in a loving vacuum. No, don't claim to be politically savvy and interested and then bust out the 13 year olds version of politics. The two party system sucks, but as it is right now, the parties are very, very different and one of the main reasons are because people aren't acting like it doesn't matter anymore. \

Doctor horror story 2: electric boogaloo. As someone with a chronic condition I have developed an innate distaste of residents and med students. Example: I was in the hospital in horrible pain due to a pancreatic stone. "But well we gave you a baby dose of narcotics 3 hours ago, it's too dangerous to give you more. I'll just have to wait until an actual doctor tells me what to do." Imagine a chestburster from aliens but it instead goes into your abdomen and decides it likes it there. gently caress ,just in general, I understand many patients are dipshits who think they're doctors but I actually understand my condition better than you, a non-specialist. "Oh, you can't eat food without feeling immense pain, looks like you're good to go home!"

In the kitchen at work there's a sandwich press thing and I feel like I'm the only person that knows how to use it properly. I chuck my sandwich in the microwave for, like, 20 seconds then put it in the sandwich press and it's done in less than a minute. Everyone else puts their sandwich in the press and then just leaves it there for an eternity. One lady will put slices of bread (not a sandwich, just bread) in the press then gently caress off for 10 or 15 minutes. It does not take that long to toast a piece of bread! What the gently caress is wrong with you. It does not take 5 minutes to heat up a cheese sandwich, holy gently caress. I don't even understand how these people can leave their food in the press for so long; if I toast my sandwich for two minutes it starts to burn. A related peeve is watching other people prepare food. When I cook dinner it doesn't normally take more than twenty minutes from start to finish including washing up then I go to a friend's house and it takes them hours and makes me want to tear my hair out in frustration at how slowly and inefficiently they're doing everything. It also seems like the more somebody hypes up a dish that they are making the longer it will take and more disappointing it will be once it is finally served.

Depends on where he is. Lots of guys get the same poo poo about getting snipped. I'd love to have a kid....if I won a lottery and got a few million bucks, enough to actually put money away for college and the like. But you can't win if you don't play, and since the last time I had sex with a guy was about 15 years ago, if I have a kid it'll be the next coming of Christ or someone put something in my drink. Peeve: whiny fuckers who never admit they are wrong. A manager at work is well known for whining to EVERYONE he can, topics ranging from why other people won't do his work for him to why he can't get a bonus because of the work he isn't doing not getting done. I get the luck to run deliveries for this fuckstick. So as often in the past, the address he provides is a poo poo one. Literally it leads to an empty lot of dirt. I call dispatch to verify the address, they call the manager, and he whines that I am the ONLY driver that has problems with him, why can't I ever do deliveries right, why am I always making problems for him....for the dispatcher to tell him she checked the address; it is a dirt lot, the ball is in his court now but to stop whining and get the right info. I imagine he was whining to everyone in his store after that even the dispatcher is a oval office and never does what he says and always gives him grief. You were wrong, asstard! Admit it and move on! Stop whining to everyone how everyone is against you and everyone makes your life hell.

Oh boy, you're pregnant! Congratulations on(most likely) willingly engaging in something that nearly half the population can do! Please stop yelling and screaming at old people who can barely stand up because you have to stand on the bus for five minutes until the next stop to get off. When I broke my foot a woman tried to shove me off of one of those handicap seats so she could take it. There was nothing wrong with her other than being in the middle of her pregnancy! If she'd walked a few feet back someone would probably have offered it to her. I dunno, maybe I just run into a lot of assholes who think being pregnant makes them the most important person in the world or something. But it happens a lot, and I swear to god people here are in a continual state of pregnancy or something because I'll see the same faces time and time again with a growing brood of children and they just let them run around and scream because "Oh I'm pregnant it's too hard to manage all of them at once" Then leave them at home! Even when my sister was pregnant literally all she would talk about was her pregnancy. Every day for hours on end. Yes I got the memo, you told me all of this yesterday. And the day before. For months now.

I hate it when products sacrifice usability for design. I'd rather have a phone a millimeter thicker and an ounce heavier if it means it's sturdier and has a better battery life. I have a sweet convertible Windows tablet/laptop that I love to death except the keyboard is cheap and ultra light so the top-heavy tablet screen makes it tip backwards if it's open too far or on a less than perfectly flat surface. Seriously, just make durable and good products, not everybody masturbates furiously to Jony Ive.

Ryoshi posted:I hate it when products sacrifice usability for design. I'd rather have a phone a millimeter thicker and an ounce heavier if it means it's sturdier and has a better battery life. I have a sweet convertible Windows tablet/laptop that I love to death except the keyboard is cheap and ultra light so the top-heavy tablet screen makes it tip backwards if it's open too far or on a less than perfectly flat surface. Macs? I sure love having to use Macs on occasion. Oh look, a dozen little icons I don't use are literally just bouncing and jumping on the screen. All the menus are gone because menus were too hard for people, time to try and guess what each of these icons means now! They're not even like, especially telling icons either. Like instead of the traditional minimize, maximize and X icons you get yellow green and red dots.

Anytime I end up on a mac university computer or whatever I'm always trying to use the alt/control keys for the things they do on windows (alt T for new tab in firefox etc) and have to figure out which of those things got moved to the options button, which is in a different place. Of course for all I complain about macs being different, windows is much more of a special snowflake OS out of OSX/linux/windows.

Tendai posted:People who park in handicapped spaces (without the permit) with the justification that "I was just five minutes!!!" like my time is less loving valuable than theirs so I can clearly wait for them to go do whatever. I try not to use my placard when I don't have to because I'm aware there are people far more in need of the close spot than me and so when I actually do use it because I need to, and some rear end in a top hat is taking the spot and laughs it off because they were only ten minutes or whatever so that's fine and why am I mad! Bonus if they're pregnant and start trying to even hint at pregnancy totally being the same thing as being disabled. Tying with this - places that have inadequate (or no) handicapped accessibility. I live in an older apartment complex, which has handicapped spots in all the lots. In the buildings? No easy handicap accessible ramps, no elevators, nothing to make it easier for them to get in/out. I feel really bad and often end up helping a couple neighbors, both have serious disabilities that make it hard to walk and seeing them try to go up steps scares the hell out of me sometimes
