AirPods were definitely inserted. But every time I took them out he was still humming.

Loud pipes save lives, and I guess loud music does too.

Friendly folks who actually make things worse is a big peeve of mine.

I feel like we need an "office skills" class in college or high school that discusses email etiquette for a portion of it. In my office we have:
- The guy who claims he never saw that email, and never checks his in a timely manner so everything you send to him has to be followed up on.
- The guy who emails you, then within 2 minutes of sending it either calls you or walks down to your office with "Did you get that email?" And then stays until you answer it, rather than allow you to email your response back normally.
- The guy who asks for a read receipt on every single email he sends, including replies. Then hounds you later if he got your read receipt but no actual email response from you. Or hounds you if you don't send the read receipt, because he absolutely cannot work without knowing exactly when you saw that email.
- The guy that always cc's in more people than necessary, and feels the need to copy two levels of management onto every email to a staff member.
- The guy that doesn't file or archive his emails, just lets his inbox get a mile long, then when he wants to recall one he can't find it so he calls me with "Do you remember that email about X from last year? Can you resend it to me?" because he knows I sort my ****.

Yesterday I emailed a technician for the second time on an issue and copied his boss because the first mail was ignored. The boss replied with a blank message. I waited a bit, hoping he would see his mistake and then follow up with a relevant reply. He didn’t, so I replied, hey, looks like you may have sent a blank email by mistake. He replied “Sorry about that!”. And nothing else. 
Just checked the system and my issue still hasn’t been addressed.

"across the pond"
Can announcers and such please retire this stupid phrasing when referring to events in England or Ireland or Wales or Northern Ireland or Scotland or wherever.
Mike Tirico: "Here we are across the pond for the British Open. Grab a cup of tea and join us for this morning's coverage"

This isnt a pet peeve, but I think this is more of a grievance thread at this point..
People that are in charge of road construction are just awful.
Big project just completed by my daughters school. Terrible design. Very dangerous. Saw two people blow the stop sign yesterday within 20 minutes of each other.
When i headed back that direction it was so obvious why. There is a right lane must turn right sign right in front of it. I went back with my range finder and took photos and documented what distance they were from. At 400 feet you cant see it. At 100 feet you can see half of it. The sign blocking it is a duplicate of one like 15 feet away.
Wrote a message to the town, the police department, and the principal. No response from police or town. Principal told me to contact the town.
Its just elementary school childrens safety at sake, so big deal right?

I have a co-worker that constantly needs reassurance and guidance. He's in his 50s and been at the company for probably 7 years. No self confidence and doesnt do anything unless he's told. It gets to be pretty annoying. Im not his boss, but he's always asking me lame questions.

My dog is almost 12. After the first 100 ft or so she doesnt have a gear over 1mph. So we have a nice slow sniffy peeing stroll

Or walking the dog. I frequently see a couple walking together with their heads buried in their phones. Look up once in awhile, or heaven forbid, TALK to one another.

We have two different couples in our neighborhood that walk in the street with a perfectly good sidewalk 10' from them. One of the couples pushes a stroller doing this. Drives me nuts. Someone is going to hit them at some point.

This has been mentioned before, but I'm fed up with the idiots who don't know how to use the gap in the esplanade when making a turn.

More like the fact that this is the only way to watch the game. The NFL has lost its mind.

No different then all those NFL Network games. More people probably have Amazon Prime access than NFL Network access.
I think the point is to expose many that don’t even realize they have Prime but no idea it comes with a free steaming channel. Or get Amazon even more Prime members so they can watch Thursday night games. Genius move by Amazon actually.

Can't he just search for the subject or a term? How does archiving an email solve this issue?

I archive my emails by peoples names. After I’ve addressed it, I file it away. Then usually when the “remember when I” stuff comes I just look under that persons name I have them all there.
My Inbox is then my to do list (usually try to keep it to about 10 emails)

I am still confused. If I know who the email is from that I am looking for I just type their name into my search. Voila, all their emails are now all in one place. I save the time of archiving by name and I have the exact same result.

Traffic lights that change when there is no traffic........
I get there are lights that are timed no matter what - and the old days flashing beams doesn't work BUT
driving at time of day or night where there are no other cars on the road - yet the light changes and there is literally no one in the other directions

No surprise that I'm weird too. My work inbox currently has two emails in it. I do my best to respond, archive, or delete right away. If a message is in my inbox, it's a reminder that I still need to deal with it. I'm that way at home too - gmail has 4 messages at the moment.

Because I use my inbox as a to-do list of sorts. If a message remains in my inbox it...
1) is important info to not forget or reference in the near future
2) I still need to reply or address it in some way
The ultimate goal is to have an empty inbox, which never happens. My realistic goal is that I have an inbox that I don't need to scroll to see all the messages in there.
