If someone doesn't like the temperature in my apartment and want me to turn the AC/heat up a significant amount, they can contribute accordingly to my electric bill. I had a roommate who would try and put the temperature to ~64 during the florida summers and our bill was ridiculous. Even if it's comfortable, sometimes being comfortable is too drat expensive.

There is no way to make anyone happy so keep every building at 70f and hand out coats and shorts as appropriate. This would be a great system, but I've never been in a building where it was an even split between people that are too hot and people that are too cold. It's always just 20 degrees too hot everywhere. Set the building temperature closer to 60, then hand out coats and shorts.

Edit: Running the air conditioning during Summer until it's 64 would be ridiculously expensive, but during Winter it makes more sense to leave the heat at 48-60 and put on long sleeves than to spend hundreds of dollars a month on heat.

I think I mentioned this before in this thread a couple of years ago, but it's still happening. Every time I get hungry and reheat some leftovers and sit down to eat, I have to poop. By the time I finish pooping, the food is cold again and I have to heat it up a second time.

Web pages that constantly refresh after a few minutes and take you all the way back to the top of the page. Like dailymail (yea i know) will refresh about 2.5 times before I can finish the whole page, unless I click something and go back so it resets the refresh clock. Very annoying but minor, comparatively. I'll let you know when I want to refresh, drat it!

Peeve: when you are clearly busy and someone wants you to look at this awesome video they just took. And of course their phone freezes or they can't find the video, and then they get mad when you start working again. Bitch, I have 20 emails to answer, what is so important i need to watch? Oh cute, a cat with catnip, can't find that poo poo anywhere or after I'm done! Along those lines, I answer emails for an animal rescue. It is amazing how many people cannot keep their dog or cat (the former has always become aggressive and the latter usually from allergies or pissing everywhere) and don't want the animal to go to a kill shelter. Well, sorry guys, but most shelters ARE kill shelters because the input is high and the adoptions are low. Go fig.

So my girlfriend's pet peeve is that I immediately chew on chocolate, like if I have a hershey's kiss or a ghirardelli bar or M&Ms I just chew it up immediately without letting it melt in my mouth AT all and that is my preference but she thinks I'm weird and doesn't want to be in the room. Maybe I should save it for E/N Edit: I will also freeze all my chocolate so it is extra crunchy Riatsala has a new favorite as of 23:04 on Dec 23, 2018 |

Some chocolate is more enjoyable if you let it melt a bit like those lindor balls but if it's just a bar of chocolate who cares just bite it. My peeve is people who bite popsicles or ice cream because i can't see it without instinctively shuddering because of my dumb sensitive teeth that would freak out if i ever tried to do that. I always take forever to eat a popsicle because if it even brushes against my teeth it's like I just got kicked in the mouth.

My coworker who only knows how to read news and watch youtube on her phone so does that constantly unless you specifically give her something to do. Then insisists you look at it too even if you're busy or trying to get something done.

My sister-in-law gets all weird and wants to leave super early at every family function. We had a Christmas get-together with my father-in-law last night, and she rounded up her boyfriend and kid before either of them even wanted to go, immediately after the presents were done being opened. She kept talking about how much she had to work but it's like yo, this is literally once a year could you maybe last another hour? Especially so it doesn't look like you're just coming to pillage gifts and take flight? I dunno, I'm not a lingerer but there's a definite minimum time to be at an event and she does not meet that ever. It was a nice party too, and it really took the fun out of it to lose three people, one being a fun-having child, during an already small Christmas party.

Rescue peeve. So one of our foster cats, Libby, has had a rough go with ear mite treatment and other various illnesses. She is finally well enough to go to adoption events. Diluted calico, very friendly. We drop her off at the event today, and instantly people are looking her over and petting her and she's purring and rubbing against the cage. We're heading out, we'll pick her up later if she doesn't adopted, and as we're leaving, my mom overhears one of the volunteers, who also has cats at the event, telling people not to get calicos because they always turn on you. She instead leads the people over to her cats. I missed this entirely. Hours later the event is winding down. My mom heads out to pick her up, and finds a couple petting and playing with Libby and the same oval office, volunteer in a rescue shirt, tells them not to pet her because calicos always turn mean. And takes them over to her cats instead. At this point it's good I wasn't there because I might be on the news for clocking a bitch and choking her out. What the flying gently caress, you oval office, you do not lie to loving people to try and get your cats adopted! One of the other volunteers said this bitch does this all the time if her cats don't get much attention....and somehow this is allowed to continue. Peeve: if people ask about an animal, do not loving lie and drag them over to your animals instead because you represent the entire rescue when you loving tell people bullshit about animals!

Your mouth should stay closed during the entire chewing and swallowing process with the exception of the brief instant where you put your food in your mouth.

New peeve, rude co-workers. I came into work today in a new dress. One of the co-workers says "I love your dress. too bad you don't have the body for it. Would look great on me!" As if I wasn't already depressed and spending most of my off work time crying at the moment.
