This Really Annoys Me Pet Peeve Thread

[Inkleg]

At the checkout counter at HW store today, the 50 something contractor with an impulse purchase of $50 flashlight: "Add it to my account."
Cashier: "Men and their flashlights..."

I have been carrying a Surefire for the last 15 years. Never realized how handy one was until then.

Thought provoking, emotionally charged memes that misspell a simple fvcking word. [emoji35]
Dammit Schlenkerla, double irony lol

Spells "Kaepernick" without a hitch, f&%*s up "our."

People who invite me over for "beer and brats", who couldn't tell you the difference between bratwurst, knockwurst, Italian sausage, or kielbasa to save their life, and then serve me BMC to wash it all down with.

Yes, it's petty. Part of it for me is probably the actual person who always says it. Anyway...

Stop saying "brats", or use all the time you save by saying brats instead of bratwurst (or effing sausage!), to grow a beer palate.

Invite them over to your house. Show'em how it's fvckin' done.

Serve them home made sauer kraut, sausage, and some tall hefe

Fwiw - Made this for a sour Octobeer fest. Minimum 8 beers per fest attendee...LOL

Red kraut....

Actually pretty great idea! I just started fermenting foods. Have some kraut going right now. Love the color on yours!

Darn iOS app. Wait... Actually THAT'S a pet peeve also, so...

 

[Zuljin]

Screw Apple.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Screw Apple.

At least you have screwapples, when it comes to choosing mobile technology.

I was all about BlackBerry. Then I went Windows. Finally, I got better and got a Droid.

We have some iPads at work. They suck compared to the Driods. Updates break stuff that was working fine. The iOS is weak sauce to begin with. The hardware overheats too easily. The only thing iPads have going for them is battery life. I'm pretty sure that part was stolen from aliens.

I am one of those who totally misunderstood the beer and brats thing. That sort of invitation usually comes from young couples, and I always assume that we will drink beer with the little brats running around.

turned off automatic updates in the program, but it still updated

stopped the automatic update service, let's see how long it takes for it to update, at my mark

3...2...1... mark. 9:01am

Lol, nice.

and, sometime between 3:00 and 4:00pm, Skype upgraded

how the **** do I keep this from happening? short of not using the program; the boss pays for it and won't consider anything else, so I have no other choice

[GrogNerd]

so, I'm on with Skype/Microsoft support, trying to get that ****ing POS to stop updating itself and here are the instructions I got

5:37 pm: On the run window, type in %appdata%\Skype and hit enter. Look for a file named shared or shared.xml and delete it.
5:37 pm: Open the folder that has your Skype name.
5:37 pm: Locate and delete the config or config.xml
5:37 pm: Open Control Panel and look for Internet Options.
5:37 pm: Go to the advanced tab and select Reset
5:38 pm: Put a check mark under "Delete Personal Settings", then hit okay and enter.
5:38 pm: Close it when prompted.
5:38 pm: Restart Skype.
5:38 pm: Before doing that Make sure that Skype is no longer running. Quit Skype.

wait... so, you just gave me all the instructions, but then gave me the FIRST STEP LAST?

step 1: stick your finger in a light socket
step 2: before doing that, make sure the power is off

Grog's Rant of the Day: Verizon login.

keep me signed in? boots after inactivity.

remember me? blank user id field

can't check both boxes at once, but doesn't matter; neither ****ing works

Why the F*ck would ANYBODY want to stay signed in, when you're going to log off anyway? Who stays signed in? Stupid programmers.

This is why you have system analysts working with programmers. Typically system analysts have the interest of the end user experience, whereas the programmers just do the coding and could care less about the experience or opinion of the end user. To them all end users are idiots. The system analyst has to say, "Nerd, get back in your hole and shut-up, pound-out some code to fix the fvckin' problem"

 

[GrogNerd]

I certainly stay signed in for longer than 15 minutes.

and I'd rather not be force-logged out anyway. I'm at my computer at home, perfectly secure and no one else is going to use my computer. keep me logged in

 

[kombat]

Depends on the site. HBT? I stay signed in. Why should I have to type my username and password every time?

I was just behind someone who started braking several car lengths away from an intersection in anticipation of a yellow light. That's right folks, the light was a couple seconds from turning yellow and this guy put on the brakes so he would be sure to catch the yellow light.

My bet is, he wanted a red light to have an excuse to get on his phone. Mainly to see who replied to his Facebook post.

 

[JonM]

Good point.
