This Really Annoys Me Pet Peeve Thread

[CoreyD]

People that stand 1 inch from you in line at the store. Like they are afraid somebody will cut in front of them. I call them butt huggers. There is this thing called personal space. I like to fart on them. Thought about getting "BACK OFF F@#$ER" tattooed to the back of my neck.

You can make calls on a marshmallow?

We don't get many business telemarketing calls to our dept. While we can receive direct calls from outside, our dept. numbers aren't published to the public. We do get some fishers now and then, though. They try to be slick. Try to pump for info like they're a boss. I got one a few days ago.

"What's our dose rate today?", he sternly demanded to know.
50.
Excuse me?
50.
How much are you feeding RIGHT NOW?
Over 9,000.
Pounds?
Tons.
Who is this?
My name is Inigo Montoya.

Yeah, it's a burner phone. The buttons on it don't work very well. They are kind of squishy.

The last time I lost my phone, was camping at the time, I forgot that I ate it while drunk. It wasn't until I tried calling myself on my other phone to find it, that I remembered what I did with the thing. It only took me a few s'more times to realize that I shouldn't be eating my phone.

I hate it when people leave a voicemail and rattle off their phone number far faster than any human can write it down. "...so please give me a call back as soon as you can, I'm at eightsixsevenfivethreeohnine. Kbye." I always make it a point to slow waaaaay down when I leave my no. on a VMM.

Me too. I hate listening to it seven times to get the number. Sometimes I just delete the vm and say **** it altogether.

Another annoyance - I get meeting invites at work where people give you the number and passcode to dial for a conference call. Like this.

18885663737 8775621

Seriously, you can't use a "-" or a "." How lazy are you?

Then people get it wrong like five times due to dyslexic nature of the numbers running together and having to look away to dial on the phone.

They leave off the * and the # too.

 

[JonM]

It's especially bad when they leave a long rambling message with the phone number at the end. That means you have to listen to the WHOOOOOLE message again before taking another shot at writing down the number. (Unless you have one of those newfangled VMM systems that lets you rewind a little bit.)

When in a store I think people should pretend they are driving. STAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AISLE. When turning left into a side aisle TURN WIDE. I am constantly having to stop in my tracks when someone comes around the corner and suddenly I am face to face. If I didn't stop - head on collision!!!

Exactly!

I hate it when people ask you for advice then argue with you about it! Especially when I know my advice is decent.

 

[Venari]

What I hate is when people get all pissy because you're avoiding them.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Telemarketers that call businesses trying to peddle printer supplies and credit card processing.

the printer folks are relentless. at least 2 - 3 per day. I just want to know who the people are that actually buy from or take the time to talk to them.

Regarding this...

Good to know.

As of today I'm on Android 6.0 marshmallow. I set my phone to auto reject unknown numbers.

Made this.... see first rejection message.

Improved version. I'll have to remember not to use that one on the wife.

At a kids' birthday party yesterday. House setup funnels everyone through the kitchen where there's a 2 ft gap between the large kitchen island and the table with all the food. This is therefore a high-traffic walkway bottleneck, made worse because it's also the food line.

Which of course means that two ladies will just camp out there having a chat against the island for an hour or so, completely oblivious to the fact that they're causing major traffic problems.

Inconsiderate b****es....

 

[kh54s10]

In a store people generally stay to the right as if driving. But when they come to a corner going to the left (they should go around wide) instead they cut the corner and come face to face with anyone coming the other way. STAY TO THE RIGHT!!!!!!

Worse yet is parking your cart on one side of an aisle and shop on the other - blocking the whole aisle - totally oblivious that anyone else is in the store!!!!!

 

[benco]

The last two post are spot on! I'm getting old and tired of accommodating everyone all the time. I always go out of my to stay out of some ones way. I'm 6' 2" and about 250, can you not see me! I think people think I'm invisible. I'm going to start plowing through like I own the effing place.

This to infinity. We drive on the right, kids are taught in school to walk single file on the right, stop cutting corners! All hallway corners should be see through glass rather than drywall

I travel for work. It's 100% travel. My wife is a stay at home mom. My wife had her sister watch our kid for the week. My wife was helping her mom after a mastectomy 24/7.

My sister inlaw drops my kid off at day camp all week and picks him up and he stays with her family all week too. Today, she drops him off for the final time, along with the overnight bag. Tonight I pick him up and the overnight bag.

I get him home... Half of my kids clothes that my wife packed are missing, so are his tennis shoes, his allergy medicine, his toiletries, his special night time stuffed animal, god knows what else.

This kind of $hit just pisses me off. I know their house, it's fvcking black hole. $hit just disappears there. The place is a clusterfvck.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate their help. But, it's like they don't care enough to pay attention to his belongings. He's young enough that he's not that responsible for his things much less able to pack a bag.

My wife is still with her mom and I have none of that stuff here, so tomorrow I have too go collect it or replace them. Collecting it means I have to find it wherever it might be in their home. They'd say it's here, I don't know where. I would be up to me to find them.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Guess what?

My BIL, ran over my son's shoes with his lawn mower. Apparently he left them next to the trampoline. I shake my head of how that even happens.

Fvcking-A, So now I'm off to buy another set of tennis shoes.

People who don't understand that shopping buggies* are meant to be treated like bumper cars. Ram those suckers! Have some GD fun for once in your life ! * and please - all you frigging yankees, stop calling them carts - carts are horse drawn and made for the express purpose of bringing out your dead.

 

[harleybug88]

We call em shopping carts up here. And we call Coke, pop.

Buggies are something you put babies in 50 years ago.

The thing you put your grocery items is called a basket.

A cart is something kids ride in on kidde race track.

 

[Zuljin]

And whats with these different size carts? I get the race car looking ones. If it stops your little angel from screaming all the way through the store- great! Make race car noises while you push it. But there's the regular cart and the small cart. What am I saving with the small cart?

 

[GrogNerd]

What am I saving with the small cart?

room in the aisle for someone browsing items around where your cart is?

I like the small carts. make me feel like a giant

annoys me/pet peeve... the BigHair at the grocery store when I tell her she may be blocking someone from getting something: well, they can go around or wait

me: no, we can take a small amount of effort to move 3" to one side and not be total a$$holes

 

[JonM]

I like the small carts too. They're Goldilocks when you need more stuff than can fit in a carry basket, but not enough to need a huge cart.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

No, that's a kart, not a cart.

 

[GrogNerd]

me, to customer who is returning a call from the boss, but forgot his extension:

well, normally I would tell you to call back, I would let the call ring through and he will answer, but Skype is sucking so much these days...

**SKYPE DROPS CALL**

 

[benco]

Here's one! When someone ask a question on one of the brewing threads and someone else post a nice solid answer and then some dip **** follows his or her post with basically the same answer.

 

[day_trippr]

Jeeze, ^that^ happens all the time around here.
Better get over it or it'll eat you alive...

Cheers!
