That kind of reminds me of when people ask me about my older brother (2 years older than me). I still live in my hometown, but he moved away ~3 years back. Whenever I see people that we both knew in high school, they always ask me for details about what he's up to. It's just kind of annoying since we haven't exchanged more than 5 words with each other since he moved. I always have to just tell them "I don't know, why don't you ask him?" It's even worse when they don't even bother asking about me. You know: the person they're talking to. drat, that makes me sound like an rear end-hole.

Thin Privilege posted:And of course there's the opposite end of the spectrum, which is when people don't respond to your texts at ALL. The worst part of this for me is that a lot of these same people are constantly diddling with their telephones when you end up hanging out with them in person, so I know they just straight up ignored the text. I barely hang out with somebody specifically because of this. I'm not about to sit around waiting for a response that may never happen, and then hang out with him while he answers random texts and browses reddit. Like, I get that I"m not that exciting or dynamic of a person, but drat that's just rude.

teenytinymouse posted:Some days no matter how careful I am putting it in my menstrual cup just keeps poking my insides, it is the most infuriating low level irritant and I'm going to loving snap in a minute and start loving free bleeding This reminds me of one of mine. I wear oxygen at night due to a chronic illness, and sometimes the canula will not sit right in my nose at all. It's either poking at the inside of my nose wrong, or it's pushed against the roof of my nostrils. It's even worse when it's a fresh one that hasn't been properly broken in. I've been on oxygen regularly for ~23 years, you'd think I could get it right by now

Ytlaya posted:edit2: Oh, one pet peeve unrelated to the other stuff in this post - radio programs that play a car honk noise. That poo poo drives me crazy; do they not realize people are listening to this stuff in their cars? I always look around confused trying to figure out if someone is honking at me. This but with sirens. I go nuts for a second checking all my mirrors and looking around trying to find the ambulance or police car. Then I realize it's Fred Fuckface's Used Car Emporium alerting me to his emergency blow-out sale or something.

yo rear end is grass posted:they will just say how they have no time to do that poo poo This is a peeve of mine. People who always say that they don't have time to do something. It is sometimes a valid excuse, but the folk I usually hear say it are usually full of poo poo. I guess I share in the sad sentiment of the quoted post in that people often don't seem to understand what they themselves actually find important their lives. This post has kind of veered off of pet peeve territory, but just verbalizing the annoyance got me to understand it better.

RedContraGuy posted:Folks who demo their loud car stereos at midnight or later on a weeknight in a residential area. This happens regularly in my neighborhood during the warmer months. The stereos here actually make the windows of my house rattle. It's absurd. Related to that are mopeds. I get that for lower speed limit areas they're very convenient and efficient, so I can't get to mad. That being said, they're loud as gently caress and they frequently whiz by my house when I'm trying to watch TV.

I think I'm probably in the minority of weirdos who refer to their servers as "sir/ma'am" instead. Really anyone who is working in a service position gets my respect, so I address them to reflect that. One that gets me though is older mechanics and repairmen often refer to me as "buddy." I'm a 5' 6" 120 lbs dude, so I'm pretty small, but that just seems insulting. It seems like it's one step away from calling me "kiddo."

Thin Privilege posted:The worst was when this crazy MOM, who made sure to point out that she is a MOM all the time (another pet peeve on its own), laid into me hard about how apple is evil and polluting the environment and money and blah blah while in loving English class in community college. Older people who attend college/university do this poo poo all the time. I attended a commuter university for several years, and it seemed that we'd inevitably have to put up with some middle-aged mom or old, retired dude who'd poo poo up class time with pointless rants. Maybe that frustration is why I never finished school

Here's a forum peeve: people who respond to another post with nothing else but a Youtube link. No description of what the video is. Just a loving link I have to click and wait for another page to load, and if the title looks worthwhile then maybe watch. Sometimes the title sounds promising, so I now have to watch a goddamn ad, then the ad finishes and I find out the videos more than ten minutes long and gently caress that I ain't got time for that poo poo... Sorry, there was no other way to express my frustration than a terrible run-on sentence. Those peeve me too. Oh, and people who don't capitalize or punctuate. It comes across as dismissive and condescending to me.

Pet peeve: food derails in every goddamn thread on this forum. Somebody brings up a food preference and that's suddenly the cue for everyone to rush in to get theirs in. Maybe this is over-stepping, but I don't think very many people really care about strangers' food preference.

BioEnchanted posted:I hate when people deliberately mess up the title of things they don't like, it's such a lazy way of expressing disdain and doesn't even do that, like people discussing modern cartoons calling Steven Universe "Stephen" Universe. It's not clever, it's not funny and it's just annoying to read. At least do something with it. "50 shades of Gay" (made up example but you get the idea) and similar things is just as stupid a thing to do, but at least there is a vague attempt at a joke, although that sort of thing is just as annoying to me. My least favorite is 'Big-chinned Family Guy' in place of 'American Dad.' They're not even very similar of shows. It reeks of the "hating on Seth MacFarlane" bandwagon. For the record, with regards to 'Steven Universe' I honestly wouldn't know which spelling to use. That's really likely an honest mistake ~80% of the time.

MagusofStars posted:It’s the best (worst?) with older people who have lived in the same place a long while, because you don’t just get directions for today but also what used to be there. Oh man, I have to laugh at myself now because I do this poo poo all the time and I'm not even old yet. My city has changed a bunch in the past ten years, so my directions are full of needless "this used to be." I definitely see how annoying that is though and will make an effort to curb this crap.

A language can't be changed overnight, and in English calling people "it" sounds very, very wrong. Like, "removal of human rights" wrong. Ok, that might be hyperbole, but hopefully you get my meaning. edit: f,b.

Butt Detective posted:I keep getting ads like 10 seconds before the end of a video, which is dumb and annoying. I think those are for videos that have a 10-20 second outro (a still with links to other videos, names of patrons, etc.), and putting the ads there catches the people who click out early to avoid the ads at the actual end of the video. So like you said: dumb and annoying. Eventually Youtube will crush itself under the weight of its own advertising.
