Can we discuss pet peeves here? (5 Viewers)

[Keith R]

Our kitchen trash and recycling bins are in a cabinet that slides out, meaning my wife really can't play jenga.  What she will do, rather than take out the recycling, is try to compact everything down into the bin so she can close the cabinet.  The empty milk jugs or 2-liter bottles of course, just re-expand in the moments after she pushes the bin back in, meaning that when I go to throw something away, I can't open the cabinet because it's jammed.  Grrrr...

I was picturing a trashy version of Pop Goes the Weasel

 

[AAABatteries]

This is no longer a pet peeve of mine (because she's now an ex), but a conversation on Reddit brought back the PTSD.

Anybody else's gf/wife just refuse to complete tasks fully?   They do 90% of it and then just let it sit?

- Tie up the kitchen trashbag, but instead of taking it all the way out to the garage garbage can, just leaves it sitting by the garage door (6 feet away from the can)

- Do laundry and fold, but never put the pile of folded clothes away...just sits in the laundry room.

- Helps mow the smaller area of grass in the front with the push mower....when finished just turns the mower off and lets it sit where her last mow was.

- Wash the floors, but just leaves the dirty water pail and wet rags sitting in the hall floor where she finished

- Vacuums the house, but just leaves the vacuum sitting in the last room that she finished

- Washes dishes, but has to leave 2 pans or cups to "soak"

- Sweeps the kitchen floor, puts all the crap into the dustpan...then just leaves the broom and dustpan full of crumbs sitting on the floor where she finished.

- Maybe not a "task" but never finishes a drink and at the end of the day there's 7 cups, cans, bottles of half finished liquid scattered all over the house (of course just sitting where she decided that was her last sip)

So g'damn maddening!!!!

Would have been funnier if you had stopped the last bullet poi……..

It's my son's car and he's taking it to college with him in the fall.  I don't even really have a car of my own. 

LOOK AT ME, I USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!

Hey that's right, your stomach-churning Big Mac video was taken in your wife's car...

Leave it for her to fix.  Stand your ground.  Bring in roaches to help if you need to.  Of course, this assumes you married an actual adult.

There's quite a bit of parking available that puts you on trail heads.  Some are short hikes others are full day hikes.  To the person who set their hyper-sensitive, loud as F car alarm and set off for a full day hike, let me be the first to say "F YOU!"  Why did you feel the need to set that alarm and leave on an 18 mile hike???  Every 15 minutes, your car alarm blared out a warning that the ENTIRE rain forest could hear because the lovely peacefulness was broken by your "HONK HONK HONK HONK" that lasted 5 minutes and went off the entire day because you felt like bad guys would travel all that way to break into your crappy white Chevy Malibu.  

Towing should be available for this.  Or a shotgun slug to the engine block.

To the person who set their hyper-sensitive, loud as F car alarm and set off for a full day hike, let me be the first to say "F YOU!"  Why did you feel the need to set that alarm and leave on an 18 mile hike???  Every 15 minutes, your car alarm blared out a warning that the ENTIRE rain forest could hear because the lovely peacefulness was broken by your "HONK HONK HONK HONK" that lasted 5 minutes and went off the entire day because you felt like bad guys would travel all that way to break into your crappy white Chevy Malibu.  

Enough with the car alarms.  They don't need to be set at a National Park where people are enjoying solitude.  Or were. 

Are car alarms even useful at this point?  Whenever one goes off nobody even bats an eye, they just get annoyed by it assuming it went off on accident.  The car jacker could literally stand at the alarm blaring car while breaking in and wave to everyone in a "I'm sorry" type of way as if he was working to stop it.

I usually decline 1130 meetings

We have a couple folks in AZ (I work in TX) that love NOON meetings. Yea, it is 10 am for them. And somehow they think the statement "It is the only time everyone was available" is a valid excuse. Yea, no s### everyone was available, because it's everyone's friggin' lunch time! Ugh. Also makes me stabby.

 

[DallasDMac]

converse for me. 

when people teach someone something totally new, and expect said person to absorb every nuance and walk away rock solid in their understanding, never needing to ask another question on the topic again.

"but it's so easy, i understand it.. everyone should."

you have years experience with said process/project.. they're learning it for the first time. patience is a virtue. everyone learns at a different pace.

I get what you are saying, and I would agree if it were a major task. By I am talking the situation where a guy says "Hey DMac, can you show me how to sanction and deploy a file?" It's like a 6 to 8 step process and we're talking one on one. He can stop me all he wants. And guess what? My trainee when I was the new guy showed me exactly once. I took like five lines of notes and had it covered.

Part II - running a generator for hours at a campsite where most people are tent camping.  WHY????  How is that "camping"?   There was a family across from us that lugged their giant camper with them and ran the generator constantly.  I don't think they stepped out of their camper once, just stayed inside and consumed whatever the generator was powering.  Just stay home.  

What about an extension cord running to a fan in a tent?

My wife isn't as bad as your ex, but definitely has issues finishing stuff. She's especially terrible with your last bullet, rarely finishing any food or drink, such that there are a bazillion, 99% empty cups/bottles of beverage around the house or in the fridge, plus single bite leftovers.

The thing is, she isn't lazy at all, and never takes any "short cuts" when she does a job. And I think she genuinely believes she'll eat and/or drink the barely perceptible leftovers, but never does. 

I end up cleaning up after her a lot, but figure that's more than offset by everything she does for me 

 

[Terminalxylem]

Surely this has been mentioned before, but this most recent example was egregious....

The setting:  Hoh National Rainforest - one of the most peaceful and beautiful spots in our country.  Getting there is a chore; it's not really near anything, so if you want to visit and hike around the pristine landscape, you're putting in some effort.

There's quite a bit of parking available that puts you on trail heads.  Some are short hikes others are full day hikes.  To the person who set their hyper-sensitive, loud as F car alarm and set off for a full day hike, let me be the first to say "F YOU!"  Why did you feel the need to set that alarm and leave on an 18 mile hike???  Every 15 minutes, your car alarm blared out a warning that the ENTIRE rain forest could hear because the lovely peacefulness was broken by your "HONK HONK HONK HONK" that lasted 5 minutes and went off the entire day because you felt like bad guys would travel all that way to break into your crappy white Chevy Malibu.

\

At least in HI, remote trailheads, where people leave their vehicles for hours on end, are prime locations for break-ins.

I've had multiple friends have smash-and-grabs while hiking, and my catalytic converter was stolen while I was climbing in the middle of nowhere.

But I agree that anything disrupting the peace of the outdoors is annoying: alarms, music, people shooting stuff, ATVs/dirt bikes, and worst of all, drones.

I totally get this sentiment, but the way the business world works now with everyone all over the world working from home, it's nearly impossible to keep track of who is on what time zone.   I live in Milwaukee, my manager is in Florida (1 hr ahead), corporate is in Paris, France (8 hrs ahead) and have people I speak to regularly all over the place.

What I tell people is if you don't want a meeting scheduled at a certain time then mark your calendar off with a personal recurring meeting.   Literally mark off Noon-1pm every day with LUNCH.   Mark off 7am-8am for KIDS TO SCHOOL.  Mark off 5pm-7pm as DAY OVER.  Then it gets honored.  If your calendar is open then it's fair game IMO.

Are fast food workers being paid less now than they were 30 years ago?  Growing up I never was asked if I wanted to leave a tip going through a drive through.  What the heck is going on?  Yesterday, I ordered some food at Dairy Queen in the drive through and when I got to the window I gave my credit card for payment.  The lady tells me their new system allows them to take a tip added on the credit card and would I like to add a tip.  I think for a second and told her no not this time.  Guessing they wiped their ### with my fries.

Yeah, there's some real jackwagons visiting the National Parks.  I spotted a young couple at Hurricane Ridge that completely ignored all the signs (and they were everywhere) saying "STAY ON THE PAVED TRAILS" taking photos and videos frolicking around the wildflowers and vegetation despite the fact it was very clear this does damage to the delicate ecosystem up there.  I yelled at them and they were taken aback - I pointed out the signs and said "It's a National Park, show some respect".  Some of my fellow visitors told me "Thank you" so I felt justified, but the amount of selfish entitlement of some people just astonishes me.  

Also, go to North Cascades National Park.  The least visited NP in our country, it is breathtaking and devoid of bugger eaters.

Getting a rental car without a full tank of gas

have to rent one for work travel and I just want to get the car and get where im going but hey, the last person left it on 1/8 of a tank so just bring it back the same way. So now I have to stop and fuel up right away

We just got back from Crater Lake NP. I'll just share one example of my interaction with people, because there would be too many to list.

But, first a little background. I hate people. With a passion. So while I know it's my own fault for going to a national park, we went to one that apparently isn't very busy at all. And we go WAY out of our way to avoid people while there. We do the popular hikes at 6:30 a.m., stay in a cabin in a campground instead of the family-riddled lodge, etc.

So, anyway, we notice the first night that the main area of the park right by the big lodge basically becomes deserted by 6 or 7 p.m. Wife thinks it would be great to find our own little spot to watch the sunset and look at the stars.

So last night, we load up our chairs, a music speaker and some cocktails and head up there around 7:30. As we expected, the place is a ghost town. For those of you who don't know, the rim around the sunken lake is 33 miles long. 33 miles. There's plenty of ########## room to spread out, in other words.

So we find a nice spot with no one in sight in either direction and hunker down. There are a few other couples doing the same thing scattered way out. You'll get a random person or people who walk by from time to time, but that's it. It's pretty great.

So we're getting closer to sunset... and it all starts to go to hell. First, a young couple walks up with their dog. They proceed to sit the dog up on the rock wall type thing that's about 2-3 feet high and that no one is supposed to be on at all. They spend the next 10 minutes shouting at the dog to try to get him to look at them for the photo. And he refuses. Just as they're about to give up, an older couple happens by and starts chatting with them.

At this point, they're maybe 15-20 feet away from us. We're clearly a couple in the throes of romance, and again, THERE ARE 33 MILES of trail with the EXACT SAME VIEW!!! So move along!!!

They finally leave.

So now the sun is officially setting, and here comes the stereotypical American family. Fat, really fat, loud, obnoxious, with a yippee dog, loud, fat, really fat, oblivious. They sidle up RIGHT next to us and I'm just glaring at them. The youngest fat with the dog gets the point and scadaddles. But the rest of the fats stay there. Just blathering on and on and on and on. About 10 feet from us. They finally realize it's physically impossible to fit more than one of them in the photo frame, so they leave.

And five seconds later, a different large family shows up and climbs the wall directly in front of us. And I mean directly. I don't mean close to us. Or right next to us. I mean directly between us and the setting sun. Two feet away from our bodies. I could reach out and strangle them, for instance. The husband and wife sit down on the stone wall and she proceeds to VIDEO the entire sunset on her phone. 15 minutes straight on record. I'm making all sorts of passive-aggressive comments to no avail. Finally, Master of Puppets comes up on my speaker and I change the volume from 1 to about 9. They looked at us like they didn't even know we were there. Just before I thought it might actually turn into something, they left.

  If I had a gun, I would've used every bullet. Which is why I don't have a gun.

And I get that. We would've never tried to take over a space at a public park like it was ours to do that. But it was so huge and there were so few people there and there's so much room for people to get the exact same view without bothering us.

But people are stupid. And selfish. And oblivious. And frankly just don't understand how to coexist in the world. It's so wonderfully uniquely American.

I get that's all annoying, but why not just politely say  "excuse me, my wife and I don't get much quiet and alone time and we're just trying to enjoy the moment.  There's miles of open spots you could be doing that besides right here. Appreciate it"

Listen I do love my wife, we've been together for almost 30 years,  yes we have bothed changed and some quirks just get to you after all that time.....but her obsession with the next meal is all time high. We just finished breakfast and now she is asking what do you think we should do for lunch lmao

I admit that i start asking about dinner in the morning. i am usually the one in charge of it and if i am cooking, want to know what i need to prepare for it.  The biggest X factor is our daughter .... if she is joining, if she and her boyfriend are joining, and what her picky self would want.

Ok, that is a little understandable, we are away at a softball tournament where we aren't cooking

I start thinking about my morning cups of coffee as soon as I lay in bed for the night

Fantasy football rant: I can’t stand when people update their trade bait with 3/4 of their roster and include stud running backs and wide receivers. In the section that lists what they are looking for; RB and WR. 
 

I hate when there's a player on the block, you message the owner asking what he's wanting (player, picks, combo) and they have no idea what they're looking for.

I think it's mainly a Wisconsin thing but does she also throw "once" at the end of sentences? I used to love that.

As in, "come here once"

And I get that. We would've never tried to take over a space at a public park like it was ours to do that. But it was so huge and there were so few people there and there's so much room for people to get the exact same view without bothering us.

But people are stupid. And selfish. And oblivious. And frankly just don't understand how to coexist in the world. It's so wonderfully uniquely American.

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment, but bringing a speaker to your sunset viewing doesn’t exactly show much respect for those wanting to enjoy the tranquility offered by nature.

It couldn't be heard from probably 10-15 feet away. And no one was within 500 feet of us when I turned it on.
