Can we discuss pet peeves here? (4 Viewers)

[Mrs. Rannous]

Watching the Summer League. I now hate Jim Beam. Sweet Caroline BOM BOM BOM over and over and over. Do these people not ever listen to their own ads?

Perhaps annoying hearing it a few times a day via commercial, but I know that a lot of bars that play this song tend to get a lot of patron participation so it's not so far off from reality.

I don't have a problem with that, but I am not singing that over and over to the TV. It was really aggravating.

I thought of this thread today. Doing mandatory online training for work.

They have a knowledge test at the end. You must score above 80% or higher to compete training. There were 6 questions. 1 wrong is 83% .... so there really was no way to score 80%

Percentages should match the questions

I submit that "mandatory online training for work" is the pet peeve...

I agree. I have a few I have to do every year
- Ladder safety
- confined spaces
- asbestos awareness
- sexual harassment and diversity

I have to do one on hazardous materials, their markings, proper disposal, spills etc etc

I work with zero chemicals - I'm an "IT" guy lol

Mr R has to do this with bank regulations. He doesn't deal with customers, but he still has to read that crap.

Has anyone been walking in to vote, not had a clue, saw a name on one of those signs and said, yeah, I think that person will get my vote?

And for days after the election, or early voting...these signs sit there or lay there. The campaigns don't come clean them up. Just a mess of crap really.

I work with zero chemicals - I'm an "IT" guy lol

I mercifully only had to take it once, but I had a hazardous chemical one where I had to identify the proper labels to put on trucks for transport, even though my job would never require any such thing. For an example question, "you are transporting two tons of matchbooks, what placards need to be affixed?" It was brutal and the only one I can remember having to re-take the test at the end.

The worst one we have right now is an annual cyber security training. There's a slow moving, unskippable video (fairly high quality actually) about phishing, VPN, passwords, etc. The kicker is that after this hour plus slog, the question are all ridiculous - things like "you get an e-mail that is supposedly from the CEO asking for all of your banking account numbers, what should you do?" Like I need an hour training section to know "immediately send all of my personal info" is not the right answer.

Fed?

Ha. No, mid-sized tech company. No idea who in HR assigns the training. I was getting foreign corruption training at one point even though I pretty much never deal with vendors or customers. Maybe I just look like the type that would go around bribing people.

When I was a contractor for DOD, I had to sit thru the DOD version and then my company's version. Every year two different cyber security trainings.

Back when everyone worked in the office, we had a woman who would call her bank or whatever from her desk and, loudly enough for the people near her to hear, would rattle off her credit card numbers, social security number, etc, taking no precautions about concealing such things. Whenever we have a simulated phishing attack from IT or a cybersecurity training session, we joke that she's the reason why we do this.

Overly picky eaters.

This one's a bit of an irrational peeve of mine because it really doesn't affect me at all, but for some reason it bothers me when I'm out or have people over who are overly picky with their food. We all have our dislikes but when you refuse to try something that differs from your usual rotation of foods and tastes, it bothers me. Just try the ******* food. You'll probably like it.

Funny timing, I just came back 30 minutes ago from a conversation exactly about this. Guy in my office was in the break room making his lunch, a ham, cheese, and mustard sandwich. I was at the fridge and offered a bottle of mayo to him, and he replied "uh no thank you, mayo looks gross."

Me: What do you mean looks gross? Have you ever tried it?
Him: Nope, it looks like it has no flavor or taste and I don't eat stuff that tastes like nothing.
Me: It definitely has a flavor. You can't say something is gross if you've never tried it before. There are plenty of people that don't like mayo and it's fine if you're one of them, but they've at least tried it before deciding.
Him: Not gonna happen, it looks gross.
Me: you wouldn't even taste a dab of it on a spoon? (me reaching for drawer for a spoon, still holding the mayo bottle)
Him: nope, uh-uh, get it away from me (he grabs up his sandwich and heads for the door).
Me: *standing there baffled that a grown man who claims he's never tasted mayo in his life won't even try a dab of it*

Not stabby, but whenever I come across the picky eaters, I internally harumph like an exasperated teen girl, and think just a little bit less of them forever.

Grownups using the word "Yummy". Just makes me cringe.

Today, I'm looking up drink recipes for blackberries (we're in season here for 2 weeks, gotta take advantage). Found 3-4 recipes I want to try out. I'm omitting the one below out of spite (even though it does sound delightful):

INSTRUCTIONS​

• First, place blackberries on the bottom of a cocktail shaker or mason jar. Use a muddler to smash the blackberries, breaking them up and releasing the juices.
• Next, add in 2 mint leaves and muddle one more time to release the yummy minty flavor.
• Ad the rest of the ingredients to the cocktail shaker and put the top on. Shake back and forth a few times until everything is combined.
• Pour drink into an ice-filled copper mug. Enjoy with a sprig of rosemary and a lime wedge.

A pet peeve and sweet joy consequence.

When people don't read emails. Then expose themselves publicly for not having read their email.

"Why didn't anybody tell me this was on order?!?!"

"You were copied on the original order and the revised quantity order"

I love Getting to point these out. LOVE IT

a person i work with, who sends me lots of work related emails, starts every one with some variation of

"happy (Monday - Thursday)! it's almost Friday! i hope you had a good weekend/evening/are having a great day!"

and then on Friday "happy Friday! it's 10:30, almost time to clock out!" / "i hope you're having a great Friday! 8:15 means we're 15 minutes closer to 5 o'clock!"

we're talking 12-20 emails. every. day. points for creatively finding new ways to say "happy....." 100+ times per week but my god i find it extremely annoying.

It's no picnic trying to suppress a gag reflex either. I've had that happen a time or two.

Jesus. If it takes 30 minutes to leaf blow a .25 acre yard you are drunk. Or need to be locked up.

Grownups using the word "Yummy". Just makes me cringe.

Today, I'm looking up drink recipes for blackberries (we're in season here for 2 weeks, gotta take advantage). Found 3-4 recipes I want to try out. I'm omitting the one below out of spite (even though it does sound delightful):

INSTRUCTIONS​

• First, place blackberries on the bottom of a cocktail shaker or mason jar. Use a muddler to smash the blackberries, breaking them up and releasing the juices.
• Next, add in 2 mint leaves and muddle one more time to release the yummy minty flavor.
• Ad the rest of the ingredients to the cocktail shaker and put the top on. Shake back and forth a few times until everything is combined.
• Pour drink into an ice-filled copper mug. Enjoy with a sprig of rosemary and a lime wedge.

so punchable - ALL of those f'n Facebook swarmy-baby words ...

* "sammies or sammiches" (why in the hell does someone think it's cute or funny to use words like a 3 year old with a speech impediment??? - it's f'n stupid and disgusting)

* "besties" ..."hubs or hubby" (barf)

* "fur babies" (so gross ...)

Brings up another.....

All of these recipes come from some blog with an "About so and so" smiling in the right hand corner. The same ones who use "yummy" or "samiches" will always - without fail- say they are the mother of AMAZING kids. Or have an AMAZING husband.

My sister was like this online. "Mom to 2 AMAZING boys". All her social media profiles "Lucky mom to 2 AMAZING, sons".


Yeah, well....these amazing kids are 19 and 16. The 19 year old doesn't drive, takes some community college courses online (NTTAWWT) and quit his job at Safeway because he couldn't stand touching lettuce at the deli counter where they hid him away from customers. 16 year old stays up all night playing video games and is so pale we can see his circulatory system in motion. Amazing.

Not to mention whenever you have a cookout, if you’re nice, you have to cook special for them.

Accommodating your friends...The horror!

I don’t, my wife does. If I cooked it I would put some bacon grease in her vegan dish.

ETA: Some will understand the humor, some will not

Seriously. Wonder if he also puts some ground up peanuts in people's food that are allergic to nuts

If your getting training videos in stuff that will never pertain to you-thank some admin that decided to
have those videos blanket released and not care what department you work in.

You are an admin at a certain level so you get training videos for every admin at that level company wide.
