Lol

Slow walkers drive me nuts. Cunts that park in the cycle lane also...but at least I can just kick a mirror off to let my anger out.

People that face inwards in the elevator instead of the door.

People that make a comment other than "what floor?" while in the elevator.

Motherfucker this is not social time. Do not fucking look at me and do not speak to me. I have a six pack of beer, you don't need to say someone's about to have a good night you fuck

I agree with all of these. A six pack is a quiet night in you fuck mind your own. Thank fuck my building is only 5 floors and no elevator.

i know this isn't the sketchy story thread, but i can't help myself--all of the talk about pee (above), elevators, and six packs in this thread inevitably made me think about this time when i was in grad school at the University of Chicago.

it was a Friday early evening, and i had been working in the Regenstein Library all day, and walked north home to the building i lived in, on Kenwood between 52nd and Hyde Park Blvd. i already had to take a piss pretty bad by the time i stopped at the liquor store next to Hyde Park Market (on 53rd) to buy a six pack of some fine IPA, and probably should have just went home first and took a leak, but after long days on campus, there was that irresistible impulse to get home, free the feet, and relax. so, by the time i was walking into my building i was on the verge of pissing myself--dancing, clinching, cussing, etc. it was a pretty old building, and the elevators were slow and i lived on like the 7th or 8th floor (i don't remember which exactly anymore), and i could not hold it anymore, so the elevator door closed and i started going up and i quickly took my six-pack out of the plastic bag and fucking pissed in the bag praying to whatever divine force may have been listening that A) nobody would need to get on the elevator to go up and B) that i'd be done and packed up by the time the elevator door opened to my floor. it was basically a building full of grad students and i could totally have imagined having the cops called on me if the door opened on me peeing into a plastic liquor store bag.

but there is a happy ending--nobody stopped the elevator to get on, i did finish in time before getting to my floor, i did not pass anyone in the hallway on my floor as i walked to my apartment with my six-pack in one hand and a plastic bag full of piss in the other, and those kind people at the liquor store double-bagged my six-pack so i did not spill a drop and just dumped it into the toilet once home.

It grates my nerves to see the word "loose" and "lose" swapped out, example "That dude is a looser."

I'm in no way a grammar or spelling nazi, but I tend to read whatever's in front of me as it's written (in my head) and that always fucks up my reading flow.

I reconnected to a cousin of mine growing up, and I texted him, 'I love you XXXXX', and he texted me back 'I love you to'. It fucks with me, it totally shouldn't, but it does.

Yes, these and the "there/their/they're," or "through/threw/thru," and the great "your/you're/(and sometimes yore)."

Have these issues been exacerbated by predictive text/autocorrect and/or modern "standards" of text message communication/Newspeak?

I think it can't be text/autocorrect because then would be correct, no? I know this dude who posted something on social media and he used you're and your incorrectly in the same post. Like "we had fun at you're house skating and your rad for letting us skate there". Even typing this up autocorrect is pointing out how I used it wrong. He skates 'pro' and I'd love to share his exploits here on Slap because it's amusing as fuck, but I feel mean putting him own blast like that.

Maybe they turn it off because autocorrect 'ain't gong tel me what 2 do'?
Thats even worse. Do some people appear smarter due to autocorrect and fool us into thinking this person at least knows minimum grammar/spelling?

Get a Ninja air fryer and play around with it until you dial in on how to use it perfectly.  Sure what was said to be 2 minutes in microwave may now take 5 minutes but it'll be cooked through and crispy.  Different settings on it so you can air fry, bake, reheat, dehydrate, etc.  I love the damn thing

Hot take, air fryers leave a weird metallic tang on food. Maybe mine was bunk, i don't know.

I know the nonstick coating releases chemicals that are bad for birds and some other animals. The cheap one I got from Sam’s Club has no issues, and I airfry tofu, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus on a daily basis in the 370-400 F range.

It’s the shit for reheating pizza and any leftovers. At least for pizza and potato-based food, it feels soggy in the microwave. My toaster oven makes the bottom too hard, while the top is semi-cold.

Tiny houses.
People with no waiting room etiquette.
When there's a que and people walk up to the side and try to make a new line "oh no I'm not pushing in I'm waiting for this teller" yes so is everyone else who's already been standing in line

Lines are easily some of my most hate inducing situations. How about when there's 3 cashiers but no organized line system so you try to stand in a position so which ever one opens first, you should get that one. But no, shit turns to chaos and suddenly someone who just walked up jumps into that shit ignoring the whole crowd behind


Also does anyone else live in an apartment where the buzzer system only works maybe 1 out of 4 times? Wtf is so hard about a buzzer to work right when I am pressing the right number on my phone every time

Worst thing about tiny houses is the way boomers talk about them. Like their first house was a 3 bedroom 2 bath with a garage and backyard in the city and they think we should just be happy and thankful to live in a glorified 1 bedroom apartment that cost just as much as their first real house

That's def a contributing factor. It being turned into a novelty is maybe my main peeve about it tho. All the shows about it where the houses aren't based on any kind of practical use and usually just bought by people who could easily afford very nice large houses and usually have a decent amount of land anyway.

I hate when people use high beams or tailgate, and some asshole in a Jeep did both yesterday around 6, during sunset. Even after stoplights, I’d accelerate to get further away, and this person would still tailgate. Instead of getting pissed, I drove 7 miles below the speed limit just to fuck with that person.

My darkest thoughts occur when I'm in a grocery store full of extraordinarily slow people who have zero spatial awareness whatsoever. God forbid you say something egregious like "excuse me" and watch them process that information in slow motion and stare at you like you just kicked their dog.

I live in a 7 story building so when the elevator stops 6 fucking times before getting to my floor I lose my mind

corollary, people who use the elevator for a single floor (talking like your average perfectly fit person here, grandma is fine)

I believe that abiding by skate code makes us pre-disposed to mind our surroundings and be more thoughtful than people who never got a good checking/vibe at the spot/park. 

I am the change I want to see in the grocery store. If someone walks near merchandise i'm near, I'll leave the area code. It's called 'integrity'

Could probably start a whole thread just for grocery related pet peeves. One good store I like is next to a rugby field and shares a building with a gym and it just gets flooded with human cows
