I get annoyed when I save a contact into my phone and the default is set to home phone. The default should be cell phone!

Autumn · 06-13-2011, 09:57 AM

On things like a credit card bill where you're meant to tear off the slip to send in with your check ... when the perforation to tear it off is almost, but not quite, exactly where the fold in the paper is. You couldn't adjust the folding machine, or the placement of the perforation, the one millimeter to make them line up so I'm not vacillating between tearing it off and tearing the paper??

I see this a lot in business doing Accounts Payable. Many times the folds are too close to the perforation, and many times the return envelopes are too small.

Autumn · 06-13-2011, 10:46 AM

Yes! That's another one, the return envelopes. Come on.

StrangeWay · 06-23-2011, 09:56 PM

My biggest pet peeve is when someone does something they know is wrong and think a simple apology makes it all better. I want grovelling dammit.

TCY Junkie · 06-24-2011, 12:38 AM

Me (not in person or on the phone) - Great date and then the next week...... well let me use an example of how the texts went she wanted to play 5 card draw and I wanted to play 52 card pickup. I've put myself in the penalty box and won't contact her for a couple days. Maybe I should call her then, the conversation on the phone and in person was good. Why did I get in the habit of entertaining myself when I write, this girl is actually pretty cool.

Rizon · 06-24-2011, 10:13 AM

This one bugs the crap out of me, and someone did it this morning.

When someone comes to your computer, work or home, and they are pointing out something on the computer monitor ... and they keep touching and poking the damn monitor. Especially annoys me when it's a woman with fingernails.

Autumn · 06-24-2011, 10:14 AM

Better fingernails than greasy kid fingers. Yeah, that bugs me.

Is a pen (with the point retracted) acceptable?

Is this one of those things where you don't want to make fun of the slow kid, but, you kind of want to help the kid out, but, then you realize that your help is probably going to be confused with being a dick?

Rizon · 06-24-2011, 03:43 PM

This woman at work tapes her envelopes closed, then runs them through the postage machine.

The postage machine can seal the envelopes for her. But she'll sit and tape a big stack of them closed.

We've had the machine for over 7 years.

JediKooter · 06-24-2011, 04:03 PM

There's a hot chick here at work on the second floor over by the fax machine I use to fax my time cards. She has one of those sexy smoker voices and has a very nice body. However, her nose looks like its gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson's fists. I'd still do her.

Pet peeve ... when my wife is home alone with my car and she floods the engine (I have a rotary) and then calls me to complain about it.

My pet peeve is shallow guys. I like nice looking girls and all but they just don't hold my attention and they seem ruined by shallow guys. Most of them are like, entertain me because of my looks and that's bullshit. F U shallow guys for messing with the hot women.

If you're a really hot chic I'll call you up right now and give you a free demo of my personality. I usually see if I can get girls to pay for my meal or something, I'm such a jerk. Basically, I think I'm getting more sensitive. Actually going to quit being so mean.

I can relate to that. When I lived in the country I wouldn't get the mail because there were black widows in the mail box.

That was pet peeve worthy.

So I go to Jack in the Box to get a breakfast sandwich on my way to work this morning (yes, I shouldn't, but that's for another thread). It's 5:30am and I'm asked, "Would you like to try a root beer float with that?" No. No I don't want a root beer float at 5:30 in the morning to go with my breakfast sandwich. If I did, I would have asked for one. And I get the idea of upselling, but really... a root beer float with my breakfast food?

I don't think he's telling anyone what to eat in the morning. I think he's saying - and I agree - that it's ridiculous for places to automatically offer things like desserts at 6am. The typical person is not going to order a root beer float for breakfast.

QuikSand · 07-06-2011, 10:01 AM

So I have the rare foresight to actually buy my bananas a little bit green. I'm fighting my chromosomal deficiencies by actually trying to plan ahead. This is not easy for me and my ilk. But at least I am assured of having pleasantly yellow bananas for the suitable time.

Then these genetically modified monsters have the nerve to start sprouting unsightly brown spots while they are still bright green. Fuckers.

Autumn · 07-09-2011, 03:03 PM

Rizon · 07-11-2011, 12:14 PM

When someone threatens to jump off an overpass on my morning commute, raising it from 20 minutes to almost 2 hours. Especially when it's not even a high overpass that you'd die from.

Also pet peeve ... when the cops don't taser or shoot someone that threatens to jump off an overpass on my morning commute.

Yes, especially people who don't understand that you walk on the right, to make room for people coming the other way or trying to pass you from behind. These people always drift over as you're trying to get around them.

molson · 08-06-2011, 11:05 AM

People having trouble with the concept of space in general is a big one.

There's this coffee shop I go to - there's a part of the counter where they'll give you bagels and food, a part where they give you drinks, and the cash register. OK, maybe a better layout could improve things, but I can't go in there if there's more than 0 people because people just tend to stand all over the place, in a big clomp.....you have no idea if they're in line, if they're waiting for their order, if they're reading the menu, if they're just chatting with someone else. I want to throw hot coffee in all their faces.
