Title: Pet Peeves!
Post by: Count Desmo on May 09, 2008, 06:30:19 AM
Is it that friggin' difficult to make coffe?!?!?!  I work for a smaller company that has a 2-pot coffee maker in the front office.  If the top pot is getting low, people automatically drain the bottom pot instead of making a new pot.  God forbid you may actually have to put in a new filter, add 2 scoops of coffe grounds, and fill the damn maker up with water!  I mean, that could actually take a minute of the valuable time you're going to spend talking shit with your co-workers.  Yes, I'm feeling pregnant dogy today.

What's your pet peeve?

Littering

A funny movie about pet peeves was Shoot 'em Up with Clive Owen.  The main character has many pet peeves (like changing lanes with out signaling, grooming habits, etc) that they work into the movie that is really funny.

People who do not wear their seatbelts. 

I called a number on the side of a car the other day to leave a message for guy who not buckled up.  He answered.  I yelled at him to buckle up and then hung up.  His head was spinning around looking for the fool on the phone.  He did then wear his seat belt.

I guess my calls would be a peeve for others.

buying rock band for ps3 at blockbuster at 11:40 to get home and spend 30 minutes setting it up and looking for a microphone to find out that it didn't come with a microphone and attempt to play the game but find out that the guitar doesn't work and try everything known to man kind to troubleshoot it, all in just enough time not to make it back before midnight when blockbuster closes.

I'm not allowed to talk about driving.  I'm licensed as a school bus driver so I'm used to jockeying a big, slow, cumbersome tank though tight spots and sketchy turn-arounds on a daily basis.  I get remimded "Not everyone can drive like you and your dad"  ;:|

People in an office who take advantage of the "brew interrupt" valve and pour a cup before the pot's done brewing. Worked in one place where the pot was usually gone before it was even finished, and those last couple of cups really weren't worth a damn. Even worse are the idiots who think EVERY coffee maker has one of those valves...

My ex-wife driving a manual transmission; she seemed to think the brake & accelerator were on/off switches, but the clutch, half depressed, was a great place to rest her foot.

+1 for littering

And for God's sake do we actually need signs all over that say do not litter - isn't it common sense? There should just be a sign in the maternity ward thats says "Welcome to the world - don't make the beast with two backsing litter!!!"


Another one that burns me is the cocksuckers who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the lot or next to somebody's car
damn it, I'll push mine back or to one of theose corrals if it's raining, snowing, 20 below I don't care ~ or at the very least if I'm way far away I will park the wheels up on a curb or something so it doesn't roll away.

I think we all hate the dumb ass drivers on cell phones.

People who think the signal light lever is there to hang shit on... not there to activate lights that inform people of your intentions in traffic.

When someone speeds up to block you from changing lanes. 

People who talk on cell phones while driving.

People who fart in my car and don't warn me about the stink... when I'm being nice enough to give them a ride free of charge.

People who fart while I'm eating.

Malls.

People who chew with their mouth open, and to top it off, look at you like you're an ass when you ask them to stop.

I could go on for hours... a lot of shit pisses me off, but I'll end it at this

one that got me today, but I couldnt say anything because Im "the new guy" -  when people dont scrape the sides of a spackle bucket when they are using it, and they put it away like that.  Then the next time you go to use it there are a million little cruncy spackle pebles that fall in and you cant get a smooth skim coat!   :bang

people that dont say please and thank you annoy the hell out of me!

Sorry.  :-[ But Christ did you have to get a restraining order? I just want to talk. YOU OWE ME AN EXPLANATION!! Just PM me. Once that is all. Just one more time and I'll leave you alone forever if you still want me to. I promise. This time I mean it.

I work in a "professional" office with a couple hundred other people doing IT support. You would think in this environment of adult college graduates that most would have some sense of decency and decorum, but no.

1. People dump food down the break room sinks and clog them up, so a sign was put up to prevent this.  >:(
2. Since there was a sign preventing them from dumping their food down the break room sink, some brilliant individual felt the next best option was the restroom sink in which he deposited an entire plate of spaghetti, thus clogging it as well.  r:e)
3. People conveniently forget basic sanitation rules. Apparently in someone's mind it's OK to drop a double-duece and leave it to fester for the next guy.  :-X
4. People drop their used paper towels on the floor, and just walk away. C'mon people, is it that hard to bend over and pick them up?  ???
5. If someone is on the telephone at work, I would think it a bad idea to gather 5-6 people around them and have a loud boisterous conversation.

trash in the wilderness

Oh, yes.  I feel my blood rising just remembering.

One of the most wonderful places in the world for natural beauty must be Lake Tahoe.  One of my favorite places at Tahoe is Chimney Beach.  From the road side parking area it is about a half mile walk down a steep trail to a marvelous unimproved sandy beach in a little sheltered cove.  Just heaven.

Unfortunately, on my last visit there the whole place looked like a city dump.  Some "people" held a party on the beach and left ALL their garbage.  Mostly beer cans but also smoldering bbq pits and plastic food wrappings.  Looked like enough stuff for maybe 50 hardcore party animals.

The thing is, Chimney Beach is not easy to get to.  The trail is not dangerous but it is long and steep enough to discourage casual use.  Often the place is deserted even during nice weather.  To pack in provisions for a large party would be no simple task.  They had to really want to party right there.  I can understand that, the place is wonderful.  But how can a group have the mindset to be willing to haul full beer cans into an isolated special place but be unwilling to remove the resulting empties.  Just totally trash the whole area and leave.

How do you find 50 people THAT dumb?  :bang

How about idiots who think they know everything about the job you're doing but in reality, make everything WAY more complicated than it needs to be and then dumps the project on you to carry to completion?

Or people who just don't do their jobs at all?

FedEx in general lately (no offense to anyone on the board who works there, but not one but TWO packages in the last week were not delivered on time)  So much for 'We live by the clock, we die by the clock'.
