And the vast majority of shower heads are mounted at like 5 and a half feet high. Perfect height for washing my shoulders. :argh: I'm probably gonna slip and brain myself trying to do the limbo to wash my hair one of these days.

Turn around and lean forward, silly. It doesn't feel great but it's better than a hotel faucet embedding itself into your lower spine when you inevitably slip backwards cause you finally find that tiny loving bar of soap you lost with your left foot and you pull the shower curtain down on top of you when you go down and now you're covered in pain and cold, slippery stranger's grime.

A Motel 6 gave me PTSD.

Prezzie and "we're pregnant!" shouted by both the mother and the father make me squirm like a kid in church. poo poo's so awkward.

Work keeps expecting me to show up half an hour ahead of my scheduled time to "properly prep" my area. gently caress you, I'm not hourly and you don't pay me enough for that bullshit. Maybe other cooks will understand more, but gently caress, we pay a guy for that. Assholes.

Also my mom calls all of her animals "baby" and it's rubbing off on mine. NOT. COOL. :colbert:

People who wash and reuse disposable plastic utensils.. My dad will put that poo poo through the dishwasher and reuse them like normal damned utensils for YEARS. Why? The regular metal spoons and knives are right there! What are you doing old man? Is that even safe? It seems like there would be some cancerous reason not to do that.

edit: And for the record, he's not doing it to be conservative or green cause he buys more plastic utensils all the time. :psyduck:

Aggressive assholes that want me to know exactly what I want when I'm not even thinking about dinner. If I say I don't care, I do. Not. Care. Stop listing restaurants at me, it's not helpful. gently caress off and eat alone if you can't wait for me to figure out what I want.

And gently caress you forever if you go out to a place knowing you'll hate it, just to placate someone. You'll be a snarky rear end all night and ruin things. Just stay at home if compromise is too difficult.

Edit for related peeve: Listing everything we have in the house/every restaurant/every movie out right now while I'm trying to get my mind together to make a decision? gently caress that, don't do that. Now I have options I didn't think about before and you just shot yourself in the foot.

Being patient is just a lost art.

Because I don't think about food 24/7 and I generally have to think for a bit about what I want if I'm asked. Like two minutes would be plenty of time, but no just stand there and wait for it. Impatiently. And you know what? I might just not goddamn have an opinion and would be totally fine with anything. Everyone assumes this is a lie to placate them. It's not. CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF.

When I say choose for yourself, I mean go eat without me I'm clearly not in the mood to play the food game. Maybe I'm just more okay eating alone or just not giving a poo poo about what I eat so long as it's food? Dunno but I'm not being passive aggressive. I. don't. care.

People doing what your mom does (my mom does this) get to me enough that I understand why people don't trust it, I'll admit that.

I see your point, I really never thought about how much other people pull the passive aggressive eating poo poo. I just thought it wasn't as widespread as it seems to be.

People care far too much about food, and doubly so what other people eat.

I agree with Tiggum. Soda comes out of the fountain cold enough as is. Even water is fine at tap temperature. Ice just takes up room, ruins my drink when it melts and hurts my teeth. Weirdly I can't drink tea without ice though.

My peeve is the bullshit I get for asking for no ice. I'm in Texas, I understand it's a weird order, but Jesus gently caress you'd think I killed a dog every time I ask for no ice.

I once added Mio cherry blackberry flavor to bong water to see what it would taste like. Why? hosed if I know but it sounded like a fine experiment at the time. It actually made the bong water taste pretty okay and that creeped me out more than if it had tasted horrible. Can't drink any of those squirty water flavors. They all taste like sorta-okay kool-aide with a swish of bong juice.

My mom does that and heavenly poo poo that's the worst thing I can think of a person doing. If I didn't answer the text or call, I am busy. Or don't want to give a poo poo about you at the moment. My mom even makes a huge deal about it like *I* am inconveniencing *her*. The gently caress?

Also mother related: No you can't have my work number and/or the number of my best friends. Why do you need them? No it is super not normal to ask for those numbers, I am 33 years old. I promise I won't have such a tragic accident that the ems or whatever can't find my emergency contact information.

Why would you do that? Stop making the road dangerous just becuase some dickhead in a cheap lift kit thinks you're slow. You do realize this is what you did, yes? Everyone else on the road, including yourself, had a road rage candidate on the wheel and you think you solved the problem by being a goddamn hall monitor. Maybe he could have swerved out of your drat rear end. But he didn't and now you, the idiot that thinks they're saving lives or whatever, is causing the traffic problem.

loving hell I hate that poo poo. Drive your car, don't be a dick. These shouldn't be mutually exclusive concepts.

Edit: I know what you're thinking: he should have passed on the left. I don't disagree, but your petulant child behavior of decelerating to the point of dumbassery made the road less safe for everyone.

Reread his comment. He let off the gas at 55mph and was going 25mph by the time the time he could move into his turn. That's the bullshit. Again, the other driver is 100% at fault for starting poo poo, but don't keep slowing down to teach someone a lesson. It's stupid as all gently caress to slow down to an unreasonable speed just cause you were offended by some tailgating.

Eh okay I can see that. I was trained by my dad to assume that no honk was meant for me if I hadn't hosed up so I could stay calm in stressful traffic. It's like the only thing the man ever taught me that stuck, and it's been a godsend living in Houston.

See where I live, people usually don't honk very much, but I also have occasionally been on the receiving end of unwarranted honks. One time I was at the same intersection, stopped, then drove on through as normal. The lady behind me lost her mind and started honking at me and waving her arms like she was totally exasperated. I was so confused as to why she was pissed, because I literally didn't do anything wrong. I came to the conclusion that she must have thought I stopped for too long/was going too slowly.

I'm definitely not a perfect driver by any means, but if I'm not doing anything wrong and someone honks at me, I generally just assume that they are impatient assholes.

That woman has a mental illness. loving hell. Just assume anyone that honks at you has a weak constitution and you'll be okay.

Christmas is bright, cheerful, fun, exciting, surprising, delicious and cool. All you assholes that want to hate it? gently caress YOU. Even the music is upbeat, happy poo poo. Ok fine, it repeats too much and you're tired of the same 25 songs. I can understand that, but gently caress you if you hate a whole delightful holiday because you heard I'll Be Home for Christmas one to many times, you Grinch heart having piece of poo poo. Lights!

I'm 34, I didn't need a party. Thanks for reminding me my birthday sucked assholes!

What yea I eat rear end is saying is don't make a goddamn beef wellington when your most successful attempt at a regular beef roast was made in a crockpot with canned soup as an ingredient. the chances are it will suck most horribly and you won't even realize how bad it is because you've go no frame of reference. Or you'll know it sucks, not want to take the blame and stop trying to cook difficult dishes at all.

Worse is when those people make you help them make the dish they can't do. All of my friends do this to me cause I used to be a professional cook and they think me helping is going magically make things better. gently caress you, you can't even cut up mushrooms properly just let me do it.

I must be tapping my drat feet too much for this rear end in a top hat that. Will. Not. STOP WHINING. I hope, Friends-style, that I stamp my feet too hard and give you a heartattack you useless hoarder! Or maybe I blast Racer X til I go deaf? Cause then maybe you have a complaint.

However, Snoo? MOVE. Honey you live in a hellhole and you need to look around for something less miserable. And I promise double promise I didn't mean to sound like I was cussing in your direction. Cause holy poo poo babe...that sounds like hell.

Gasp! would play a relatively violent sport. Co-ed at that! And they always call it "adorable". Same dipshits also make fun of me for being a welder. "Ah how cute!

Stop complaining to us (or don't, you might get a lot of good advice?) and start taking pictures to show your landlord. If they don't act, then go to court and ask for damages and legal fees. This is seriously ridiculous and I live above a guy that brought me homemade wine and a basket of "home cured meats".

fake edit: closet cured ham has a definite moldy funk that any foodie would vomit at.

real edit: where do you live that this keeps happening? Cause even in lawless Houston Texas that grill alone would get me a new unit and some better neighbors if I whined even a little bit. I don't complain about the guy downstairs cause he's obviously just mentally ill, but you have a real claim here. Again. Second time, same place. That seems relentlessly against tenant agreements.

Eh, depends. I've worked two kitchens and we didn't get tipped out.

It's especially insulting when the servers start bragging about how busy it is and how they made 100 bucks this hour, while the cooks are living in literal burning-hot hell for the same wage they would get for standing around at 3pm on a wednesday.

Extra double insulting is how in a bind, the kitchen can and does send out totally-unprepared kitchen mooks to run tables and they do ok, whereas no untrained server can ever, ever handle the kitchen.

Yes. I don't think I've ever agreed with a post more. Running tables is easy, keeping up with tickets is a pain and no one, on earth, can do it without training.
