All women's hoodies seem to be too short in the torso so I'm pulling them down every time I move and men's hoodies are long enough in the torso but have too much extra room the shoulders GODDAMMIT I am so misshapen Here's another fun pet peeve that I've experienced today: job applications that are unnecessarily thorough for what the job is. Today I filled out one that wanted all the addresses I've lived at for the past 10 years. I've moved 7 times in that period and couldn't even remember the whole addresses for some of them so I had to fire up Google. And it was for a basic retail job! Ugh.

Decorating blogs and websites that only seem to have tips for people who either own the property or love not getting security deposits back. Yeah I'd love to paint a giant goddamned mural on my bedroom wall or to put up five million shelves over all available wall space so all of my storage problems would be solved forever but moving is expensive enough without paying for non-accidental damages too ugh. Might as well get rid of half the stuff I have instead

I hate people who leave shopping carts right next to, but not actually in, cart returns. You made it all the way there, you can't take just a few more steps to put it where it won't obstruct parking spaces and make poo poo harder for the people who have to put them away? I mean I can almost get not using a cart return if it's one of those giant IKEA-like parking lots but in small ones where the rows are fairly short and there's a return on each side? This is even worse if it's a return right next to the store door. People will come out of the store, take their things out of their cart while standing right next to or in the cart return and still leave the cart in the wrong place, what the gently caress

All the stores have warm and comfy sweaters, scarves and hats for fall but it's still 80 loving degrees here so it's too hot to wear them another downside of the weather: the gross as gently caress Bradford/Callery Pear trees are still in bloom and since some sadistic bastard planted them everywhere, even in urban areas with high pedestrian traffic, you end up smelling them multiple times even on short walks. cities already smell, why do you need to make it worse!?

Murphy Brownback posted:I could understand keeping the thing heated to like 70 degrees or something normal, but why is it that they always crank it way the gently caress up to where you'd even sweat wearing shorts and a tshirt? Unless you're in the drat arctic, let trams and buses have the same interior temperature as outside so people don't have to remove their huge bulky jackets just to be comfortable. I hate this too. Plus, they've started rolling out these new buses around here that have no openable windows for the back half of the bus so unless the front windows are already open or you're able to get up and open them yourself then you get to sweat to death!

Tiggum posted:What websites make you put spaces in your credit card number? I know ThinkGeek does at least, my boyfriend ordered from there the other day and put it in as one big number the first time. It came up as invalid and wouldn't work until he put the spaces in. Also here's something I don't get: people around here seem to leave their wallets in their cars a lot or not even bring them to school at all and then act astounded when I tell them they need to have some form of photo ID to check out books. Why would you leave your wallet in the car? Thieves love targeting students and cars get broken into all the time here. Maybe this is just weird to me as someone coming from a place where there are less drivers to one where almost everyone drives but it seems really strange to just go around all day without your wallet.

I can't remember the last time I was around my boyfriend's dad where he didn't bring up Benghazi multiple times, completely out of context of the current conversation. Nobody wants to talk about this dude, especially not at the dinner table at Christmas! Nobody even tries seriously talking about it with him anymore, it's not worth it because he believes what he wants to and won't listen to anything that goes against it. So yes: people with no conversational awareness who don't realize that these topics have a time and place and if everyone around you looks extremely uncomfortable maybe that isn't it?

Cowslips Warren posted:Along the lines of neutering, I know a guy who does not want kids. At all. Neither does his wife. And he bitches about her birth control and having to use condoms sometimes, and when I mentioned vasectomy., he flipped the gently caress out. Because even though he doesn't want kids and is often worried about an accidental pregnancy, getting snipped is something that will never, ever happen to him, because "what if they gently caress up and my dick breaks and I never get hard again!" Instead he advocates that his wife "get fixed." But a tubal isn't foolproof. He was actually looking into finding a doctor who would do a full "pelvic cleanout" on his 30 year old wife so he wouldn't have to 'deal with periods anymore.' gently caress people like this. Also "pelvic cleanout" might be the most horrifying phrase I've ever heard

We have the Internet, why not look things up to make sure you're doing it right?

Everyone was furious. Lots of people are fed up with this poo poo and affordable/zero cost textbook committees are being formed in more and more institutions although there’s still a lot of work to be done. Anyway I can rant about how much I loathe the textbook industry all day, they’re just like the pharmaceutical industry

I hate when clothing brands are inconsistent with including size charts in their product descriptions or don’t have them at all. This seems to happen more frequently with smaller brands which is even more annoying when their return policies aren’t great so instead i have to email them about sizing for each piece i guess?? If there were garment measurements even it’d help a little but i lost 30 pounds and there isn’t anything that fits well enough for me to measure against Obviously the solution is to buy from places that do have size charts but i can’t find anything i like enough to buy and looking for new things is weirdly overwheming and exhausting
