People who, when you tell them to not do something, do it but you know, as a joke! Oh, I asked you to not speak over me sharing a room code with someone? Saying random letters loudly and slowly as I am is a real gut buster, o king of wit

Ugly In The Morning posted:Most acronyms don’t do that though. Like if you’re writing the acronym out in an explanatory way you’ll do “COVID (COronaVIrus Disease)”. I can’t think of any acronyms that do what you’re describing, really. Like RADAR is “RAdio Detection And Ranging”, your way would be RaDAR. Actually it should be RaDaR because you don't capitalise "and".

OB-GYN. People spell it out when they say it. "Oh Bee Gee Wye Enn". What does the 'B' stand for, you buffoons? Or the Y, you absolute morons?

"Case of the week"- shows. I don't know why, I just hate them. It's something about just having one thing per episode that doesn't work for me, I like storylines and relationships that continue throughout the show. Comedies are an exception, though they usually have recurring characters and callbacks causing problems or the "case-of-the-week" is just one third of the episode and the real meat is in the characters interacting with eachother. The worst offender to me is Lucifer, because the comic is real loving good. I've never wanted to beat up a studio executive so bad.

Overall, I like the functionality that the Sharepoint back-end brings to things like Teams and OneDrive where multiple people can view/edit a file at the same time. Yes, it can get a tad confusing if there's TOO many people, but that's on you for sharing the link out to a whole department and not just the important people who'ls be actually working in that file. But still easier than ten people all working off their own Excel spreadsheet and then trying to merge the changes they all made. But...there's always ONE PERSON who always turns filters and sorting on for EVERYONE, not just their view. Is it a lot of work for me to go in and say "cancel all filters" and then, rightly, click the box that just "Just Me"? No. But I shouldn't have to.

I had a bog-standard water bottle with a straw and a flip-up mouthpiece that developed (?) a bad seal or something so I would get a lot of air with every sip. Like drinking through a straw with a hole above the liquid line. I had to hold it a certain way and put my finger over the ball-joint of the mouthpiece to get a good seal, and even then it was a crapshoot. gently caress this, I thought, and bought a brand-new water bottle. It has the same problem. And no amount of futzing with the mouthpiece is helping. My pet peeve is simple-rear end water bottles that still manage not to work properly.

It's maddening. Companies and people blame everything on COVID. "Due to Covid-19, we are experiencing longer than normal wait times." No, you are experiencing longer than normal wait times because you used COVID as an excuse to fire people and under-staff your call center. You know that, with VOIP, your call center workers can work from home right? "Due to COVID we've raised our prices on auto batteries because, you know, COVID." We've had plagues before, we'll have them again. The Plague of Justinian killed 10% of everyone. We had the "Spanish Flu" just 100 years ago. We had the Black Death before. We'll have another one again later. Just put your drat mask on and quit acting like it's never happened.

Iron Crowned posted:Alternatively I hate when I tear into a package specifically to take advantage of it being resealable, and the resealable part tears off. Yeah, I don't know why or how, but an alarming number of times I open one of those Ziplock-knockoff "resealable" bags (like you'd get on deli meat and cheese,) the "resealable" zipper portion is STRONGER than the glue that holds the zipper to the rest of the plastic bag, so it just rips off, while still sealed, and now you have a non-resealable hole at the top of the bag.

Pro-tip: I used to find clamshell packaging to be the worst kind because you'd have to take scissors to it and end up cutting yourself because you'd decided you were done opening it after only two sided because gently caress the third and fourth sides. An xacto knife makes short work of those fuckers. You can get all four sides of the shell opened in the time a pair of scissors would get through one. Not only that you don't have those sharp slivers hanging out either.
