Can we discuss pet peeves here? (8 Viewers)

Why is it people insist on entering through the EXIT doors and exiting through the ENTRANCE doors? It normally doesn't bother me unless I'm walking out the grocery store and I'm carrying something heavy or pushing a cart full of groceries and I have to wait on some dimwit to shuffle through the EXIT doors and they give me a look like "what's the problem?" You're the problem meathead! I mean would it kill you to just enter in through the proper entrance so we're not bumping into each other or I don't have to wait on you? Because I know damned well they're not going to move over, no, no, I'm carrying two 40lb salt bags, please, you go on through the wrong entrance, as long it's most convenient for you. SMH! It's just so damned lazy you know?

And while I'm at the grocery store I absolutely LOVE it when people just randomly park wherever the hell they want to even though the place has a thousand parking spots. No, no, I'm going to park in the fire lane or in the middle of the crosswalk or hell, just any place I feel like parking and waiting for my lazy, fatas$, relative/roomate/sister-wife/uncle-daddy or whatever and I'll just pretend I'm not blocking the crosswalk, fire lane, middle of the road.
Here in AZ people will park in random places just for shade. Fine. But other people may want to park far away under the only tree too. So please don't take up 4 spaces just because you are far away and there aren't other cars around. I would park in the shade too, if you had left a spot open dill hole.
 
People need to start recognizing whether or not they have nasty feet and if so, not display them in public. That means no flipflops or sandals if you have discolored toenails, excessively cracked heels, hammer toes, corns, excessive toe hair, etc.

Just swallow your pride and accept that you have nasty feet. It’s ok. It’s incredibly common. You’re still probably a wonderful person. Just please wear sneakers or slip is or something.

Found Rex Ryan’s account.

I heard a comedian make a joke how his toenails look like corn chips. Cracked me up.
 
When people use the phrase "last I checked" when referring to something.
Like.."Last I checked, women are citizens too" or something dumb like that.
I immediately wanna ask.."Oh yeah? When did you check last? Why did you want to check that? What source did you use?"

Kind of like "All's I know is".

Once someone says that, you know you've won the argument.

This reminded me of one that happens a ton where I live. Both of the popular grocery stores as well as Walmart all have their parking lots with the spaces slanted/angled. So that means the aisle you're driving down is one-way. But not all of the aisles are one-way, the ones in front of the building entrance/exit doors are wider and those are two-way, which I guess confuses the hell out of people. I've lost count the number of times I'm going down a one-way aisle (correctly) and another car turns into it from the other end and starts coming at me. I just stop and wait for them to realize that this is a narrow aisle, there's no room for us to pass each other, and invariably I get the *hands up*, "WTF are you doing?" look thrown at me as if I'm the one that just jammed up the works.
 
If you work a retail job, GET OFF THE FREAKING PHONE when you have customers in front of you. In line at a gas station yesterday, cashier with her cell glued to her head, guy in front of me has a case of beer and gets rung up. "And a bag of ice" he says. She doesn't move, just jabbering away. "I need a bag of ice" says the guy again. No response. "Ma'am, I need you to add a bag of ice to this" he says again, a little louder. She burst out laughing at whatever she's being told and turns away from the counter. Guy pulls out his wallet, swipes his card for the beer, walks out, and while I'm being ignored and rung up I see him pull two bags of ice out of the cooler outside and head for his truck. Lady is completely oblivious to it all...

I like that not only did he get his ice but he also grabbed a 2nd bag.
 
Not a pet peeve, but not sure where else to complain and I did not want to create a thread.

My 6 year old son is getting a sleep study done because he grinds his teeth at night among other sleep issues. So he is asleep and I am in the same dark bedroom surfing the internet on my phone.

1. I wish my wife would have taken him. I have to work tomorrow and she is a stay at home mom.

2. I have to sleep in an old uncomfortable leather recliner.

3. The sleep tech said they will have enough data by 5:30 and will wake us up then. So even if I get any sleep I am going to be miserable tomorrow.

That sucks. It reminds me of when my two kids were babies. We decided to bottle feed them instead of having my wife breast feed them. I worked full time and she was a stay at home Mom but guess who was in charge of bottle feeding every hour or two in the middle of the night? I was exhausted every day at work.

So what was her reason for not taking him?

It is at the houston medical center and my wife did not want to go to the houston medical center at night.
 
People that go right on red when I'm going where they are trying to turn. I shouldn't have to slow down because you want to swerve in front of me.

Ok question about the right on red thing. I have heard....on the east side of the country..a right turn on red is allowed unless posted. However on the west coast, a right on red is prohibited unless posted that it is allowed.
Is this true? In Michigan its allowed always unless posted not to.

West coast here - right on red is fine unless there is a sign that reads "No Right Turn on Red". :shrug:

Right turn on red is allowed by default unless explicitly forbidden, as communicated through signage, in California.

Northern California- same.

It was a tax for not paying attention
 
People do know that in Microsoft Team the sender can see when the message is read? And when something is somewhat urgent, and you send a follow up, I can also see that you have read the follow up message?

I just checked her calendar to see if perhaps she was busy. Nope - free all day.

But I also see that she puts her personal engagements on her ****ing work calendar? WTF. She is going to see The National tomorrow night (that's cool) otherwise it is **** like "walk with Jen" or "reservation at restaurant" or "water plants".

You should ask her how the walk went.

My wife works nights so I got to handle almost all of the getting up in the middle of the night stuff.

Edit- now that I think about it, kids were the reason I started taking naps on my lunch break.

so all my messages appeared to be read since teams flashes when I received a message even if i didn't actually read that message? I'm not sure we have that option on

How do I as a sender know my message was read?

Read receipts are on by default in Teams. Not sure how it actually knows, but an eyeball appears when it has been read/seen

Is this for individual direct messages? I have never seen an eyeball icon ever.

Not being difficult actually curious, I've never seen that feature

Hmm. It is just to the right of the message for me

 
look at that - had no idea lol

Read receipts

Let people know when you've seen their messages, and know when they've seen yours.​


Mine is off

Guess our IT turned it off.

THanks

when a message is sent there's an oval with a check mark in it. when it's read, that changes to look like an eyeball.

You can turn this off in settings (which I have done... not your concern when I read your message)

Will probably get a response quicker than that urgent message & follow up does.

I have all my personal stuff on my calendar. But it's not visible to others.
 
People that don't understand that you can turn left on red if you're on a one-way street turning on to another one-way street and if there is no sign saying you can't. They just sit there until the light turns green.
watched a woman idling in the left-turn-to-one-way only lane at a red light, decide she wanted to instead turn right in front of a line of about a dozen cars that were waiting to go straight.

she compounded the egregious offense of trying to turn head-on in to one-way traffic, by blowing her horn & frantically waving her arms while yelling at the car that nearly hit her head-on at traffic speed.


first, the gall to think you can just turn right from the left lane, cutting off a whole bunch of other cars waiting to proceed.. but then to do it head-on in to one-way traffic. amazing.

eta: this was last night
 
People who request read receipts for every email they send (this is not related to MS Teams read receipts).
I have a coworker who asks for read receipt on literally every single email he sends. And he compounds it by carving out an hour out of his Friday mornings to send follow-ups to any emails where he got a read receipt but didn't get a response. So around 11AM every single Friday morning I'll see some email from him directed to someone, where he just copy/pastes the original email with a "Can I get a response on this" type remark added to it. He'll leave anyone that was cc'd on the original on the follow-up as well, as if public shaming the person for not responding will make them respond this time. Half the time it's to his supervisor, who is literally in the office across the hall from him. He could save us all the hassle and just slide his chair over to the right by 4 feet and look across the hall at him and talk...
 
2pm and I'm ready for happy hour before I catch my train home. BWW bar. I purposely sit at either the far right or far left of the bar so I can read in silence and not have to interact with anybody but the bartender or other staff that I know. Generally, the place is a ghost town at this hour.

More often than not - for reasons I can't explain - some jackwagon will come in and sit RIGHT NEXT TO ME. There are 15 other empty spots at the bar and you need to be close to me? We all understand and practice good urinal spacing in public restrooms, right? You don't go pee right next to another dude unless it's the ONLY option. Well, that same logic needs to be applied to bars.
