People who don't understand shift work schedules even after you've had them for years. And somehow late afternoon/evening work schedules break people's brains worse than straight-up night shift. It's especially annoying when I go to visit family. No, I didn't leave for my 5 hour drive to your place at 9am. Because I was just barely waking up half an hour after that. You're doing the equivalent of me expecting you to be out the door and on the road at 4am. Only worse, because I had to work the night before so there was a hard limit on how early I go could to bed.

People who treat speed bumps like stop signs. It's especially annoying since my apartment complex makes you go over a few to get in and out. Your car's not going to explode if you go over the bump at 10mph! You don't need to crawl over it at 2mph! If you went a bit faster it'd actually be smoother since your suspension can do its job properly; you're not accomplishing anything by acting like you've never seen a speed bump before.  Meanwhile the actually dangerous part of driving through here, a sharp S-bend with poor visibility, doesn't have a speed bump anywhere near it, so people gleefully blow through it at 30mph(and panic if there's someone coming the opposite way, because it's narrow enough that everyone defaults to driving down the middle of it). It's only the straight sections with perfectly fine visiblity that get speed bumps.

yeah I eat rear end posted:ERs should be able to be more discriminatory in who they will treat. A poor with no insurance but has a legitimate medical problem? Yes, they should still be seen. But addict number 50000 of the day that stabbed themselves with a fork to get some pain meds? Send them back out to the street, no treatment offered. 1) In the US, ERs are required at least do a screening to determine if a medical emergency exists. (And to treat the medical emergency if it's determined one exists) In practice, they'll generally do more than that, because caregivers are very interested in not being sued for missing something. 2) Where's the cutoff for when we decide you're a waste of time? Who decides what the cutoff is? What, if any, consequences should there be if the person had a legitimate medical problem and they were turned away because it was assumed they're just trying to get pain meds? People don't stop having real health problems just because they're junkies. Or if they're falsely assumed to be junkies, which is a real problem thanks to people overcorrecting in the face of the opiate epidemic. Also, if someone's a pain med frequent flier, the ER staff's already taking that into account when treating them. Edgar Allen Ho posted:Agreed. Let them buy regulated opioids and live a half-decent life while taking pills instead of crashing between using and withdrawing.

People who don't understand how to be a good dog owner in general. No, you shouldn't be terrifying your dog into submission. The "alpha" thing is bullshit. Cesar Milan is bullshit. No, you shouldn't be leaving your dog outside most of the day because you don't give enough of a poo poo to interact with it. Why do you even have a dog? No, it's not "mean" to train it at all. It's cruel not to train your dog at all, because dogs appreciate having structure in their lives and interacting with their owners. And it's not loving cute when your dog is constantly begging for food, jumping on people, being destructive, etc.

Forgetting something at the grocery store checkout, not noticing until you get home, and having to awkwardly go back to retrieve it since you paid for it and it's the principle of the thing. It's only happened twice in my life and was equally annoying/embarassing each time.Silver Falcon posted:Clothes that are handwash only. Ain't nobody got time for that poo poo! Makes you wonder how important the handwash-only is supposed to be.  (To be fair, I wash everything in cold water only and usually line dry, which is less rough on clothes to start with)

IIRC old clothes dyes used to bleed a lot more, and the 'don't wash colors with whites' rule hasn't changed to reflect that dyes suck less now. Most color bleeding happens in the first couple washes anyway, so if you really care you can just wash something individually the first few times. But I don't, and it's been fine, so  .

Youtube videos that pop up with related/suggested videos in the last 10-ish seconds. Especially when the actual video is still going and it's not just credits or whatever. I do not, and never will, give a flying gently caress about those. Same with the poo poo that pops up when I pause the video. If I was done watching, I'd close the tab or go to another page. I'm never going to click any of those suggestions because I'm not done watching this video. That is the worst time to suggest poo poo to me, youtube.

Speed bumps are not stop signs. Your car is not going to explode if you go 5-15mph(depending on bump type) over one instead of screeching to a halt and then going up to the hair-raising speed of 1mph. Speed bumps are already lovely bandaid solutions put in place instead of properly designing residential roads to discourage high speeds(but people freak out at the idea of narrowing roads/removing lanes/adding on-street parking/generally designing roads for the speed you want people to go, instead of making them nice and big and gently curved because that makes you feel 'safer'). Stop making them worse by making it impossible to predict what the car in front of you is going to do in response to one.

SubNat posted:Are insanely loud barky dogs part of owners being bad at training their dogs, or just an aspect of some dogs? The worst is dog owners who think bad dog behavior is cute and that training them properly is somehow mean. No, it's not cute when Fluffy jumps on people or begs for people food, gently caress off with that poo poo. No, it's not mean to train Spot, in fact your dog craves the attention and bonding that training him would bring. Learn about the needs of your goddamn pets before you get them! While I'm on the subject of terrible pet owners: Keep your drat cats indoors. A purely indoor cat does not miss or crave the outdoors at all. Putting a cat outdoors just means it's going to murder all the local wildlife & risks your cat mysteriously disappearing one day because it got hit by a car/eaten by a coyote/taken in by someone who thought it was a stray. If you think your cat is bored indoors, you need to play with it more often. Cats aren't decorations either, and they like interacting with their people.

Also the mobile-ization of the internet meaning increasing amounts of design decisions that annoy you if you're browsing on desktop. I don't need the top bar of the site to follow me down as I scroll. I'm not going to be confused and alarmed if I have to scroll back up/hit the home key to get to whatever links are up there. I especially don't need your stupid loving autoplay video to follow me down after I've already rushed to pause it. I don't need your site's articles turning into an infinite scroll instead of the page being allowed to just end, either.

Sorry, your pitbull puppy chewing on people's shoes while they're wearing them isn't cute, and it will become a serious problem if you don't train your loving dog. Stop acting like other people are overreacting if they bring this up.

My peeve is when people launch directly into questions without saying 'hey' or something first, so the first half of the question is lost to the wind before my brain starts paying attention. Luckily it's usually pretty easy to guess what that first half was based on context, but still, stop assuming the entire world is listening 100% to you and nothing else the instant you open your mouth, people.

99% of people being "nice" in traffic is unsafe(because they're encouraging everyone to ignore right of way and also making it impossible for the cars around them to know wtf they're doing), pointless(because they're holding up multiple people to help one person who'd have gotten a gap eventually anyway, and if they're NOT holding up multiple people then the other car could have just turned in behind them anyway), or both. My least favorite is when there's a gap I've identified and am prepared to turn into before someone tries to be 'nice' by slowing down for me, instantly obliterating the gap behind them & wasting my time because I'm not about to turn in front of someone when a)I don't know what they're doing, and b)they likely now have cars whipping around them. Just loving go, you're causing more problems then you're solving.
