Pet Peeves

[Mystical Leader]

Indecisive people at work environment.. Fucking hate that I have to do the same thing million times because somebody doesn't know what they want... I have other more important things to do than tinker on where this line goes for the millionth time... Doing illustrations can be a bitch..

Also I have to say that in my civil life I'm the worst at this.. .. Going to the grocery store can easily take an hour if I don't have anything planned beforehand...

I guess the things that annoy you the most are stuff you don't like about yourself..

Painfully true.

When a fat guy asks to use my board and I have to explain that the weight difference will mess up my bushings.

[ChuckRamone]

^how often does that happen to you that it’s become a pet peeve? do you skate the ledge outside of a weight loss clinic or something?

If you're an adult, you should know when you're projecting shit. At least, most of the time.

Fuck people who waste your time. “I’m on the way — I’ll be there soon,” should not be more than 5-10 minutes. Over an hour just makes me not want to ever interact with that person.

THIS...............I Abhor these peoppe at all costs. I give up after 10 mins unless we've got serious business my time is money, call me an asshole or a picky person I'd rather leave then wait for someone to flake on me Time and Time again. Won't be fooled again

The absolute worst for me with this behavior is the "good homie" meeting up for a quick sesh.  If we agree to meet at 5 and you don't show until 6:30 I'm going to have my fun and take off.  I'm not 16 anymore and can skate around all day aimlessly (although I miss that)

[close]

real talk! between work and family and everything else I get 2 maybe 3 hours to skate once every couple of weeks, Im not waiting around for shit.

I run into this a lot with my European and Middle Eastern friends.  Their cultures are just way more slack with time.  One of my best friends is Egyptian. If I tell him I'm picking him up at 6:00, there is no way he's coming out of his building until at least 6:20.  Just something I had to learn to deal with.  My French friend is the same way.

people that start a text with “happy wednesday!” .. comes off fake as fuck how do you not know this

[childhood]

The person who rents the office across from me is a Spanish tutor, and has horrible work etiquette.
She leaves her office door wide open, talks crazy loud, will put on songs in Spanish sometimes. Super annoying.

[SneakySecrets]

NPR having the gall to put on a full pledge drive after taking Diane Rehm off the air.  I don’t see why they can’t play “On My Mind” from 10am-11am.  Fucking bullshit.

Bring it up to the building manager that's their job. Say something like "Hey manage the goddamn building."

"would gnar if i could"

[straight]

those little glove feet shoes and when your feet look too big for you as a person .. luckily ive never seen these combined

saw a guy yesterday wearing glove shoes with a blazer and jeans .. i instantly hated him

[ungzilla]

as you should

[redcurb12]

that's just so wrong. i can't stand those shoes... even the socks bother me

[412]

People that overload washer and dryers

Sand or concrete mix scratching the inside of car windows when you use them

Home owners that think it's their duty to protect the sick ass ditch in the alley

[ChuckRamone]

people who are constantly sighing and groaning audibly as they move about. and I mean young, able-bodied people working easy office jobs who are just constantly in a whiny and shitty mood. but of course when they talk they try to sound all pleasant.

[childhood]

Damn, that's me as fuck actually.

When people use the word “literally” incorrectly.

As in:

“He was so mad that steam was literally coming out of his ears.”

“I was so tired I literally just laid down on the couch and died.”

“This guy is literally the biggest douche bag in the universe.”

If there was a literal douche bag the size of a full grown man it would prob literally be the biggest douche bag in the universe, though.

[ChuckRamone]

depends where you lie on the descriptivist - prescriptivist spectrum but some these days say it’s acceptable to use “literally” as an intensifier and there are historical examples from famous writers to back that up.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying.  If enough people want “literally” to function that way, it doesn’t have to get approved by anyone, it just starts functioning that way. 

It still bothers me though. 

Another weird one is “peruse”.  I don’t think I had ever heard anyone use that word used correctly for my entire life. 

I used to think it meant to just quickly skim something over.  Turns out it means the exact opposite.

How the hell did it get fucked up that bad?

I work with a Spaniard and it took me about a year to learn how to not take his, in my perspective, laziness personally. He has no self drive to work efficiently, despite being a civil servant. Late by minutes every morning; leaves early 3 days of the week by half an hour or more. Tax payers fund our paychecks but he could care less. He’s independently wealthy via mommy and daddy money. I felt like an asshole because I didn’t realize this is cultural until a few months ago.

It’s tough because I have a conservation corps and poverty background which drills work ethic, productivity, and self respect into your mental fabric. I’ve learned to just not rely on him for essentials or expectations and never, ever, ever let him borrow anything that requires cleaning or maintenance. Now we have a better work relationship based on that on my end. Maybe that helps others reading this in the same dilemma with friends or coworkers of similar nature.

[doublesteveburger]

it’s still complete bullshit having to accommodate to other people’s lack of self-awareness


people who don’t grasp social cues make me want to shoot myself in the stupid face multiple times

[coyote2425]

Close the fucking cupboards.
