Can we discuss pet peeves here? (4 Viewers)

I understand the logistics so not really a peeve but something humorous/annoying.

I have a package on its way. It left a facility one hour north of my house last night to end up at another facility 1 hour south of my house. It will get here eventually
If I send something through the post office to another address in my town, it goes to a facility ~2 hours away before coming back.

Yep
If I want to mail my neighbor a letter and put it in my box with the flag up it goes 2 hours south then comes back :lol:

Same here, 20/30 years ago the post office started bulk checking all mail. The mail gets put into big containers and sniffed by dogs or machines checking for explosives.

That is an Interesting factoid.

Kansas City, which is in Missouri, has a paper printed in Iowa.
 
Worker at safeway today asking every customer "do you want to make a needy family's xmas better this year" as the little screen asks if we want to donate to some big box charity baloney. She puts her index finger right by the screen, like here let me push for you.

I pushed no thanks and kept checking out. But i watched her shake down every single customer after me for a few minutes with 100% success.

Six self checkout stations and she is bouncing all over like a ping pong ball making sure she gets right there when the screen pops up.

Younger me would have replied with "Sure. I would love to help a needy family. What is their address? I will drop off some cash and food. Or did you really mean want to help pay the salaries of a bunch of useless admins at a mega charity that your company will get credit for donating to?"
 
Mechanics who over tighten lug nuts.

I just changed my wife’s front brakes. Took me 5 minutes total to change the brakes.

Took me 30 minutes to get the two stripped lug nuts off.

:hot:
Oil filters are another good one for this.

I was trying to repair a piece of specialty equipment at work one time and it took me almost an hour to get the stripped screws of the dust cover off. At least for something like lug nuts you're tightening a connection that's going to see a lot force. It really boggles the mind when it's something that is largely cosmetic and people act like it's supporting a first responder or something - some things are fine to be basically finger tight.
 
The ABSURD, hour long waits for stuff at new restaurants that open up like Chick Fil A, In and Out, Popeyes chicken sandwich.
Is it really worth it to wait that long for a fast food item? Considering in a week or so the lines will be back to normal and you wont have to waste time like this? I don't get it.
Starbucks too. Stupidly long lines.
Everytime a new restaurant or store opens up there's a line wrapped around the parking lot. I figure if I waited this long without having this place available to me, I can wait another month for the novelty to die off.

Except for Chik-fil-A, that place has a line wrapped around the building since the day they opened 3 years ago.

Annnnnd I now have a mild hernia and have been referred to a surgeon.

:rant: mutha Efer
you went from loosening lug nuts on Saturday to a hernia diagnosis on Monday?
Saturday night the wife and I had the house to ourselves. After I got out of the shower I looked down there was a bulge, and not the kind she was expecting. I sorta freaked out and pushed it back in.

After sexy time I was in some minor discomfort so I made a virtual appointment for today. My doc referred me to a surgeon.

You asked!

So the doctor I had my virtual/remote visit with was kinda young and bashful. Prefaced every question with an apology before asking. Kinda annoying, like dude, if you’re gonna do this you need to be less scared to ask….

He was having trouble deciphering exactly where I was describing the issue was. I let him know I wasn’t shy and I would literally show him but he wanted no part of that so I quickly drew him a picture…

Actual drawing I showed him

Right to the point, I like it.


NM, I found it
Did you have one? (now that you mention this, I think I recall your thread about the topic.).

How’d it go? Any advice?

Depends on how cold it is. 🐢
 
I just opened my mailbox, and I think I have a new biggest pet peeve.

I was mailed a Christmas card from my next door neighbor. Mailed. With a stamp. My address written out. Their return address on the envelope.

I really don’t give a crap about cards, but I’ll admit it was a nice gesture. But to use a stamp and mail a card to your next door neighbor is just idiotic to me. He could have easily stuck it in my front door, put it in my mailbox, or just give it to me on one of the days we’ll see each other outside.

That is wonderful shtick by your neighbor. I’m stealing that one.

It's illegal to put it in your mailbox w/o postage. (Thats why the landscapers and such put their cars on your flag.)

ETA - I was just suggesting why they may have done it. Not that I’m that big of a stickler for the rules.

Shark move is to put his address on the return postage and no stamp.

Find me one example where a neighbor was arrested for putting a xmas card into their neighbors mailbox.

Scumbag littering landscapers are not comparable.

Yeah, I was just suggesting why they may have done it. Not saying the long arm of the law is gonna getcha.

Additionally, maybe they wanted to support the post office. :shrug:

For those who really want to save the price of a stamp (or going out and buying some) this works also. Similar to refusing a collect call in the old days when it was just a signal to check in or get picked up.
Petty crime imo
Come on now. 66 cents is 66 cents.
Shrug......postage pays for that person to pick up/sort/then deliver that letter.

Would you steal 60 cents worth of candy from a store?

Would you walk into a grocer grab a banana and walk out?
 
And while you are at it, don't forget to pull a Newman and drive those 5 cent returnables to a 10 cent state. Just don't use a post office vehicle to do it.
 
I swear I am living in a psychological experiment these days. Every service/food industry is turning to crap, yet we are constantly told that how we treat these workers is one of the measures of being a good person.

In many cases this is because of their corporate overlords and not the workers themselves. Unless a worker does something specific to make your product or experience worse, you should not treat them like crap.
