people who think domesticated dogs behave in the "alpha/beta" way wolves do. They aren't wolves. Shove cesar milan up your rear end.

Cesar Milan is the Penn Jillette of the dog world.

I've met several people who listened to that guy and they all treated their dog in this loving weird way where they have to make sure the dog doesn't do anything untoward at all by radiating "calm energy" which apparently means staring the dog down nervously.

Like, who gives a poo poo if your dog is a bit spoiled or jumps or barks sometimes or wants to lick your face. It's a loving dog, that's what they like to do so let them live a little. I hate people who treat animals in this utilitarian way where they're just there so the owner can let out their neuroses onto their pet.

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

My pet peeve: when people have dogs that jump on me, bark a lot, and try to lick me. Just because it doesn't bother you doesn't mean it's unreasonable to be bothered by it.

edit: Bark "a lot" here means like, whenever there's some noise outside the front door, or whenever a person in the house gets excited about something and moves suddenly.

Probably a repeat (the irony here is thick), but when people repeat a part of the conversation that they don't need to.

Making up an example,

Person: "Oh yeah that thing happoined."
Me: "Wait did you say... happoined? Or did my ears just fail me."
Person: "Nope, I said happened."
Me: "Yeah I was going to say, that's a little weird. Oh well."
Person: "... nope I didn't say it."

I know!. I don't need a second confirmation that my ears heard you wrong, or whatever thing we discussed, and it's like a knife in my brain every time someone does it.

All Princesses are Tyrants

My pet peeve is when your co-worker is gunning so hard for a promotion that they get dumb-brains and start acting like an rear end and alienating themselves.

I have a co-worker who has the same computer-toucher job title and seniority as me but curates a different computer-toucher system from me. Today someone from another department came to find me to request a change in my system while I was in a meeting, so she intercepted them and took the request for me. Totally great thing to do, exactly what I'd hope for with a good co worker.

What drives me nuts is that she held the request notes hostage while she walked me through how to make the change to MY system (which was both condescending and incorrect), assigned me a wrike task that she already had spooled up, tagged our boss in it, and went to his cube to awkwardly shoehorn in the fact that she was "mentoring me".

She also randomly gathers us fellow low rung workers to give us hour plus long tutorials on new workflow procedure that she justifies by implementing completely stupid and inefficient changes to the workflow.

This lady was completely fine to work with 2 months ago, but lately she's decided that out of our team of four bottom dwellers she's got to assert herself as the obvious choice to replace our supervisor (who has no plans to retire or move up). Ironically she now spends so much time "mentoring" people that her system is falling apart, everyone's pissed at her, and we deliberately exclude her from larger scope planning meetings.

A supervisor of mine low key does this. Mentions to me that she "improved" my workflow although I was just as good at that specific thing as after she "mentored" me.

I live on a regular residential street that’s 1 block down from a main thoroughfare. People use my street as a cut through to avoid the traffic lights, which is fine. But some folks drive 35-45mph down the street and that loving sucks.

A neighbor’s cat got hit by a car last week, kids were almost hit, and my dog was nearly hit by a delivery truck (we were walking and the dog was on his leash so I was able to pull him back on to the sidewalk).

I loving hate when people speed down this street.

I moved into my new place last week* and the oven doesn't make any noise when it's done pre-heating. I wait and wait for the "ding" that I'm used to, and then realize that it's been at optimal temperature for a while.

I really hate that. "Passed away". I can't stand that phrase. She died of a heart attack at 32 from doing to much coke. That's how you describe a death.

We're all going to die. I hope that no one ever says that I "Passed away." I'd rather that they say how I died and why.

Yeah, exactly. Something about the phony "softness" of the phrase is more offensive than just simply saying that someone died. I'm guessing it was something invented fairly recently.

If you have to be formal about it you can just say "deceased" or something. Don't say paaaaatthhhed awaaaaaaay
