yeah I eat rear end posted:It's also like poker players telling others about their bad beats. Nobody really cares or wants to hear it, but everyone will keep talking about it until their dying day because they have nothing else to talk about. Just nod and smile and change the subject as soon as you can. Oh God triggered. I work as a dealer in a casino and do everything BUT the poker stuff (well apart from 3 Card Poker but that doesn't really count) the poker room is its own entity. I barely know how to play most of the games, never mind how to deal them, and I have no interest in learning. Fine, enjoy what you enjoy, but a punter who played blackjack the other night will tell you how they bought in for $20 and walked away with $300 and that's the end of the story. Awesome! Good for you, man! A poker player will give you a loving never-ending play-by-play (something about some nuts flushing down a floppy river? I have no idea...) and every single move/card that was played in a game they took part in in 1997. But if you think the players are bad, the dealers are so much worse. Deal poker to tedious twats 8/10 hours a day you think you'd want to put it aside when you can, right? OH NO! Every break? Online poker on a break room PC or their phone. Smoke break outside? Phone poker. Finish work? Go play poker at a another casino until you realise that it's 4 hours before your next shift...but you'll probably sneak in a quick game online just before you grab a couple of hours' sleep anyway. Oh and I almost forgot excitedly babbling about pro games they watched to fill any gaps in that schedule and bringing up old poker clips on youtube. And  about being able to nod, smile and change the subject if you're dealing with the hardcore. One of our ex-dealers was regaling me with a blow-by-blow account in a bar and I'd had just enough drinks to lose a little of my usual polite tolerance to interrupt him and say that I don't know about poker, don't care to, and have no idea what the words coming out of his mouth mean - they're flying straight over my head - can we talk about something else, please? He paused for a fraction of a second looking like a startled deer, aaaand then carried on with how the loving queen came out and and...tl;dr (wouldn't blame you) gently caress poker bores. Not even simply responding to "do you play poker?" with a cheery "oh...no, sorry. I don't even know how!" will stop them. EVER.

Digirat posted:gently caress smoke alarms chirping at 150 decibels when their battery is low. gently caress that stupid poo poo. Especially when it's in the adjoining property, that is currently unoccupied and, in fact, in the room next to your own bedroom and you don't know who the landlord is to contact them and it has been doing it for a month so far and does it every two loving minutes why won't you finally die, battery? WHY? ~~fml~~  A bit niche: this is mainly a cookery/restaurant/food review TV show thing, but people tasting a dish that has been prepared for them and declaring it the most delicious creation ever when it has barely touched the inside of their mouths for even a microsecond. There is no way you can make that assessment with so little tastebud time! You haven't even had time to take the fork/spoon/chopsticks out, let alone the fact that you haven't even chewed yet either! It barely qualifies as a first mouthful! It happens a bit off TV too, and I can understand that will often be people being nice but, if that's what it is, at least make it look somewhat convincing...

I used to date a lass who lived in an all-female household who had a rescue Staffordshire Bull Terrier that HATED all men, mostly the pitch of the voice. Couldn't really blame him as he'd been an illegal fighting dog, had his ears/tail clipped, balls stapled, all that fun stuff. He'd growl and bare his teeth at me and was a known biter (of men). My peeve was that they all thought I was silly for being wary/frightened and always said "just hit him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper!". Yeah I'm really gonna whack a very angry dog who hates me - that'll surely end well! "But WE do it!" - the difference is he LIKES you! Turns out the secret was to let him dry-hump me for a bit to prove he was the alpha and then I even got to stroke him for a bit haha.

Mainly a work thing: people who always flag their emails as "high importance". I'm capable of checking all my emails and deciding what's most urgent/important. You're not jumping the queue or getting to the top of the pile, especially as every other fucker is doing the same thing so it becomes completely meaningless.

Lockdown has led me to watching a lot of dumb poo poo on youtube and the like, which leads me to... AMATEUR FOOD REVIEWERS WHO DON'T LIKE FOOD  I'm not having a go at "picky eaters" - like what you like, I don't care. But if you're reviewing something thats main ingredient is, say, mushrooms, and you state that you detest mushrooms at the beginning then it's probably going to be an utterly pointless review. Hate tomatoes in all forms? Then your review of this pasta sauce is probably not going to be that positive or helpful in the least!

Songs that end with a fade-out. Oh sure I'll just get the chorus or outro getting quieter and quieter. Great. If you can't figure out how to end your song then don't loving bother writing/playing it you lazy shits. There ARE situations where it is artistically appropriate but they're few and far between.
