Almost every recipe posted online seems to either try way too hard to be fancy, or try way too hard to be funny. Both are terrible and I'd rather just read an old cook book that doesn't gently caress around and gives you the drat recipe and nothing more.

I hate advertising that offers what seems like a great deal then turns out to not actually be a deal at all. Yesterday I got an email from EB Games with the title 'Massive Price Drop on PS4's' which sounded great because I've been wanting to buy one but they're still a bit too expensive for my budget. So I open the email and it says 'PS4 now only $400 (when you trade in a 500gb slimline PS3)'. That's not a price reduction at all. That's just them deducting the trade-in credit from the normal RRP of a PS4

I have this recurring problem while driving where people keep yielding to me even though they clearly have the right of way. I guess it's better than the opposite problem, but it's just such an annoying waste of both my time and theirs. It's situations like someone reaching a 4-way intersection well before I do, so I stop and wait for them to go so I can make my turn or whatever. Instead they'll just sit there for half a minute until I notice them waving their arm out the window telling me to go on. If they'd just gone through the intersection since they had right of way we both would have been out of there already instead of staring at each other waiting for the other one to make a move. The one that really gets me is on my way to work. The road I take merges into an off-ramp from the highway and you have to yield to traffic from the off-ramp. Typically I'll look to see if there's anyone in the way before I merge and if there is I'll slow down so traffic can pass and I'll slip in at the first opening, which, y'know, is how that road is intended to work. What keeps happening is some moron on the off-ramp will see me slowing down and they'll slow down too to try to let me pass. Then I'll slow down more to show that I'm yielding like I'm supposed to since I've got a big bright "Yield" sign in my lane, but the other guy just slows down more too. Soon enough I have to come to a full stop because I've reached the end of my lane and now I can't even merge if I want to because the moron is also at a full stop right beside me and all I can do is wait until he moves. Could I be a more assertive driver? Sure, but that's beside the point. I follow the actual traffic laws and I'm tired of people wasting both my time and theirs, and making my drive needlessly more stressful, out of some attempt to be courteous or whatever. You have the right of way, people! Take it!

Guy Fawkes (hence the name of that loving mask and yes, a real person) tried to blow the precursor of the British parliament the gently caress up in what became known as the Gunpowder plot.E: and apart from the masks I've never seen people make V for Vendetta references on that day Also the Back to the Future thing is literally one day, ever but I agree that I don't trust people to not take it too far.

I know exactly what you're talking about and it haunts me. Coleg-specific peeve: People who talk in class, or sit in the front and sit on Reddit or Youtube. I was trying to do a presentation today and I was clearly very nervous and these two idiots in the back are giggling about something on a computer and it's like, wow, thank you for making this so much worse for me.

When people are trying to write a word like they're saying it slowly or extending it out, but they repeat the wrong letter, like "niccccce" or "niceeeee" instead of "niiiiiice".Mountaineer posted:I have this recurring problem while driving where people keep yielding to me even though they clearly have the right of way. Similarly, it really annoys me when I'm walking somewhere and as I stop to wait for a car to go past so I can cross the road, the car also stops. Because now we've both stopped and I have to look around and assess what's going on because you're suddenly acting unpredictably and I don't want to get run over. If you'd just kept driving I'd have just crossed behind you and we'd both have been on our way quicker.

Henchman of Santa posted:Oh man, it's calmed down the last couple of years but I ALWAYS get multiple "Remember, remember, the 5th of November..." statuses, a bunch of people watching V For Vendetta excitedly and in one case someone graffiti'd my college campus with it. I know it's a historical event, but none of these people would give a poo poo if it weren't for that movie. Maybe this stands out as being a bit weird and noticable in the US but here in the UK it's pretty much business as usual for the 5th. When we were kids we used to sing 'remember remember' so those status updates wouldn't even be on my radar as as new fad. Plus Guy Fawkes Night/Bonfire Night is one of my favourite traditions because I love watching a straw catholic burn at the local school.

I hate when writers use non-verbal actions to indicate a character speaking. "Yes," he smiled. You can't smile a word. "Yes," he said with a smile. Or even: "Yes." He smiled. And if anyone exclaims anything I just want to scream, although I'm not exactly sure why.

Is "I don't hate Jews, I hate Zionists" the new "I don't hate black people, I hate n*****s?" Because if I see anyone else say that in the otherwise-moderate Muslim communities I go to online as an obvious effort to disguise their poorly-veiled anti-Semitism, I'm going to just lose my poo poo and start doing all-caps posts about how dumb they are.

Being expected to eat or partake in what everyone else got. I am reasonable on this, I think like say.... someone brings in a cake. Its vanilla with frosting. "Hey do you want some?" No thanks, ok nbd, move along. But if they bring in their super special jalapeno double decker upside down strawberry meat cake, and you say no, you're a DICK for saying no their hard work. Sometimes you just don't want to eat that/go there/try this/or listen to that and it doesn't make the person a dick. Lay off folks that aren't #yolo all the time, millenials.

Similarly, a lot of Jews are not Zionists. Source: I am Jewish But I get what you mean. Thinly veiled anti-Semitism is a problem that crops up when criticizing Israel, as does even less veiled Islamophobia that crops up when criticizing Palestine (not even just Hamas).

i have one jewish friend who hates the entire concept of israel, and another who lives there, and from watching them argue about it is really funny comparing it to "i like black people but i hate n**********s" is kind of lovely, maybe a closer thing would be "i like black people but i hate the black separatism movement"

It's kind of nuts how Israel turns otherwise progressive Jews into right-wing lunatics. My Facebook got super Islamophobic out of nowhere last week, and the one person standing with Israel who didn't turn it into "Muslims want to kill us!" dropped a loving #AllLivesMatter on her status about it. I almost said something but she got legit mad at me for making fun of adult Harry Potter fans so I sure as poo poo wasn't gonna touch that issue.

What is it with moms and big christmas My mom did the exact same thing 2 years ago, but eventually capitulated, to the immediate and huge relief of my whole extended family, most of whom are having kids and buying houses and have no money. Then she sarcastically complained about small Christmas for the whole thing. She even passive-aggressively bought a really tiny lovely Christmas tree and set it on a little table way in the corner, and threatened to serve Bread and Water for Christmas dinner

My mother used to have toddler type break downs, walking around the house crying and yelling that nobody loved her because none of us would come spend 6 hours decorating the entire house in kitschy Christmas crap with her. Or play bridge with her instead of watching holiday cartoons. Hell, she once locked herself in her room screaming and crying about how Christmas forever and ever was ruined because I couldn't fake being happy to receive nothing but several massive giftbaskets of body wash crap and an electric toothbrush. Her fault though, she knew that I have perfume allergies  Holidays turn sane people stressed and crazy people crazier. They should just do away with all of this stupid Christmas poo poo since it's a holiday that exists purely for gift giving and chowing down on grandma's lovely dry rear end turkey at this point.

My entire family has fast developed a silent hatred for Christmas because inevitably some huge drama shitfest or horrific medical crisis happens around it. Every god drat year. This year we've resigned ourselves to not bothering with a tree or anything, we're going to meet up, give each other giftcards or something and just go the gently caress out to see a movie before anything can go wrong. God bless the holidays or something. My favorite pet peeve are entirely unhelpful clients. Someone asks me to design something for them, every idea gets rejected. No reasoning behind it, no suggestions to improve them not even vague ideas. Just "No. No. That's stupid. I don't like that." It's near impossible to make something you do like if you're absolutely unwilling to tell me anything about your preferences you rear end in a top hat, give me something!.

I love Xmas, but it's just me and my mom, and the gifts are rarely a surprise. But it's still fun and small. I don't think I have time this year but next year I want to put up a Cat Xmas Tree. Peeve: people who leave poo poo Yelp reviews, or bad reviews in general, about something the person/business in question has limited to no control over. Oh, this store gets 0 out of 5 stars because the line was 5 carts deep and only two registers open and a third would not magically open on Xmas loving Eve? This seller gets a bad rating because the box was lost in transit? No. Just no.,
