I understand that I am not owed your time, I understand that planning your day can be hard and that most of us have dozens of errands to run. But if you say you are going to be there and it turns out you cannot for whatever reason (Not feeling like it, change of plans, forgot something), then take loving 15 seconds out of your day to inform me! It is ok to say no to something, just let me know so I don't have to waste my time any further! I think it is rude as hell.

Trying to find a good answer to any type of tech support type question on google. Most replies to any question are completely worthless. For example. I started playing Sim City 4 again. I saw in one of the menus that you can add custom music to the library. (Cool! I never knew this or remembered it!) I add some songs to the right folder, but in the game, the checkbox for custom tunes is still greyed out. There were a butt-ton of replies to this question saying which folder to put music in followed by checking the box. Q: The box is still greyed out. What do I do? A: Check the box  Me: OHFERGODSAKES!!! This is worse than saying "I don't know" and I still don't know why that box is greyed out!!!

The other type of response is one of my long-held peeves where they flood you with questions about your OS, if your firewall is on, how old is your PC, etc. It looks like they are helping, but they aren't. They won't do anything with that information 9 times out of 10. You'll tell them, they either never respond again or say "hmm that's weird, let me check on some things" (10 years go by, no posts, someone marks it as resolved and it remains the top google result for that problem forever). e: also people who say "nevermind, i fixed it! *closes thread without saying how*".

Timely peeve about something I've whined about it one of these samey PYF with the same posters this week WHY THE gently caress IS A "Create Your Own" pizza with a side cheaper than a "House Recipe" pizza with a side when the pizza we created has the exact same crust, sauce, and toppings as the "house" pizza we would have ordered? My peeve is half that, and half that apparently enough people fall for that kind of stuff that it keeps happening

Other pet peeve: people whose reaction to being interrupted by something noisy (eg a passing firetruck) isn't to stop talking and wait, but to carry on and switch to a shout. I usually block my ears and mouth "I can't hear you." I don't care what you're saying if you want to deafen me to say it. Goddamn Particle has a new favorite as of 10:51 on Dec 11, 2018 |

If I hear one more hot take about how ~snowflakes~ need to lighten up about "Baby it's cold outside" i'm going to go nuts. I hate that song, mostly because it's not really a song as much as two people talking to each other, and don't want to be reminded of it in any way, particularly if it is politicized. Please, go back to hating starbucks for whatever they did with the cups, that was better than having all my facebook feed suddenly being obsessed with this piece of poo poo song just to "trigger" people.

Re: Microwave chat My microwave beeps at you when your food is done for 3 beeps, 3 seconds each, with 2 seconds of silence in between, adding up to a complete beep sequence of 13 seconds in duration. That's normal and fine. (~I suppose~.) What's not normal or fine is that if you open the door at any point during the beep sequence, even on the microsecond it began, the entire 13-second sequence will play out and you cannot shut it off by hitting STOP. You can shut it off by hitting STOP first and then opening the door, but who can remember to do that when decades of microwave use has instilled in humanity the instinct to hear a beep-->open the door???  And then there's the laundry dryer's airhorn alarm when the dryer cycle is complete, which scares the gently caress out of me and my cats every time it goes off. It is too goddamn loud. I can't hear the baby who lives across the hall from me, but I can hear my neighbors' dryer alarms go off all the way down the hall. We all live in <800 ft. apartments -- why in God's good name do our dryers need alarms anyway? We can hear the machine running and we can hear the silence when it stops. Whoaaaaa, magic.

Yeah, people who act like they have a clear, unbiased view and that they stand above the pathetic fray... And then their opinion falls into one of the same camps everyone else is in except they're still using the defeated points because they didn't listen to any actual discussion. Like the people who come scurrying in to say "I don't know why everyone is up in arms about gender, the question was decided by science years ago and everyone is ignoring it for political gain! Not me tho, I'm intelligent enough to know there are two genders because there's two genitals well bye"

Mine annoys me by "reminding" me that my food is done if I don't come and deal with it immediately. Like, if I'm heating something in the microwave while cooking something else on the stove, if the microwave finishes first then I have to go over to it and hit cancel or it just keeps beeping every few seconds forever (until I deal with it). Shut the gently caress up, microwave! You exist for my convenience, not the other way around! I will get to you in my own good time! It also automatically cancels settings if you don't start it quick enough. Like, if I'm making two-minute noodles and I put the kettle on then set the microwave (to save time) then it will have unset itself by the time the kettle's done. WHY?

The worst thing is when you have people doing nothing other than slacktivism while acting like they're single handedly saving the world. Sorry but if the most you're willing to do is like something on Facebook and make a Twitter post you've changed precisely "gently caress all."

The part about this that irritates me is that the people who suddenly care about picking a side on this probably didn't care until it turned into an internet pillow fight. I don't even like the song, but could handle it a few times a year and mostly zone out and ignore it. Why can't we all just go back to not caring that it exists?

Share this song to own the libs! One thing that peeves me is people doing that "just sharing this to piss off [people I don't agree with] LOL!" thing. It's rude to do that to people who are ostensibly your friends but also it never really pisses anyone off. I saw one that was Trump saluting some marine. Who is pissed off by that? I don't like Trump or military worship but cmon. The only thing it makes me feel is that whoever posted it is dumb.

To understand it you need to understand their mindset. To them the left hates the military and don't want trump to succeed because they hate America. That's it. Granted a lot of it also has to do with this stupid actively seeking outrage fuel that both sides have been doing. There's this stupid competition to see who can be the angriest the loudest about the most things. It's all about appearances instead of actual meaningful actions. The real world is complex and scary and full of grey areas. It's easier to declare that everything is black and white, pick a side, and scream non-stop about how terrible everybody on the other side is.

my pet peeve is in two parts: - my older, fatter cat is a scarf-and-barfer, which is a total pain in the rear end, especially since he's on special Rx cat food to keep him from getting those lethal urinary crystals (again) - I bought him a special bowl (pictured below) to eat from, which is intended to slow him down. it's done that; he has figured out how it works and when I come home from work (or whatever) the food is all gone.  H O W E V E R - if I am here in the house, as I am at this moment, he will sit and yell at me rather than just get down to the business of eating his food, because by god he wants it all in his stomach immediately (so he can throw it up unchewed and then cry starvation all over again) cat tax:  pictured: a moment of reasonable behavior

Also, I think it's possible to dislike a president and still retain hope that the outcome will be somehow positive for the country. It also seems to me that the loudest opinions come from people who somehow forget that there are still two other branches of government and somehow remain even more ignorant of their state and local governments. OBUMMER MADE A NEW LAW ABOUT BLA BLA BLA That is not how government works!! Goodnight!! My ex-wife's cat likes to scarf and barf too. He's always hassling me like he needs something, but at least he's friendly and cool.
