Can we discuss pet peeves here? (3 Viewers)

Just found a new one for me.  Some guy in the office just made a plate of bacon in the microwave and did not walk around offering it to anyone.  The entire office smells like bacon now, and I have nothing to eat.

It sounds like you need to bring in your own bacon. Granted, bacon is awesome, but personally, I don't want someone else's reheated bacon from a microwave.

To my cow-orker,

By the sound of it, your lower respiratory infection is progressing nicely. I certainly appreciate your dedication in coming to work every day for the past two weeks. Don't let anyone tell you that you're a useless, nonvalue-added drone that could easily complete their daily tasks while working from home. How would people know how special and important you are if you weren't spreading your filth throughout the office?

Didn't we use to have a thread dedicated ti these messages?

Checking out the back side of the female running in tights on the side of the road as you approach...only to realize as you drive by that it's a guy.

NTTAWWT, of course. Just a pet peeve is all.

I was going to post a very similar one yesterday, but never got around to it. 

I live right where an off street path used to end. Two years ago they extended it across the street. So previously it was a 99% chance when I saw a good looking girl run by, she would be coming back. 

Still probably a 70% chance but I really hate when I just catch a glimpse of a runner and I am like please come back, please come back, grrrrrr......its a dude. 

 
Back in my hippie days I had long hair and a full beard.  On several occasions in bars, a dude would put his arm around my shoulders or his hand on the small of my back.  I would turn toward him and he would jump seeing my bearded face.  Of course he would always apologize.  It made me understand how often women have to deal with men who are strangers putting their hands on them.

And they put their hands on you because you were dressed like a trollop and deserved it.

 
People who discharge their sump pumps or gutters down by the sidewalk.

They will bury the pipes underground, so the dang things drain water across the sidewalks all year long. In the summer you get a slimy wet green film over the sidewalk, and in the winter you get a sheet of ice.

Awesome...

I have to think that is highly illegal if it is a public sidewalk.  Pretty sure you could report that home and the city would take action. That's a fairly extreme safety hazard.

Oh sure. It's against codes here in my city. I've considered calling the city - just don't really want to be that guy.

I don't think you'd be "that guy" by reporting this.  It's more than a simple nuisance.  It's a safety hazard.  I would report it.

Ha! I meant that it's a song about pet peeves.

But as someone who sang in an a cappella group in college, I'm here for all the mockery it deserves. That was one of the things that made Andy Bernard on "The Office" such a great character. He's like the prototype aca-bro.

I was a huge a cappella nerd in college, so yeah, I'm familiar. Didn't he record all the voice parts himself?

yeah, and the musical instrument sounds as well 

The album is one of Rundgren's most unusual in that every sound is the product of the artist's voice. Rundgren employed overdubbing techniques and an E-mu Emulator (an early sampler), electronically manipulating the sound of his voice to mimic conventional rock instruments, handclaps, and other sounds.[4] This approach to music making was later explored by artists such as Mike Patton and Björk.

what would you do if you were the guy who had pipes buried in the yard of a home you bought, and no one at the city said anything about it even though they've been out your property a few times in the last 2 1/2 years for various reasons.

asking for a friend, of course.

Well, if it was a house I bought and it was already there, I would move the pipes or reroute them. Probably disconnect at the house and find another solution. I wouldn't want some kid to fall on the sidewalk that is on my property.

I have a sidewalk there now and it's the first thing I clean in a snow or ice storm.
