People who take forever to fix their coffee-- especially at places that have 1 or 2 small counters for cream, sugar etc.

It's not a place to linger and chat, get moving!

I dont know why this bothers me so much....

At a family party, I will put all of the soda cans in the cooler and cover them with ice. These sodas are basically on the verge of becoming slush. Invariably multiple people will ask for a cup full of ice. As if this soda, which is essentially as cold as if you were to fist the south pole, can get any colder. Drink it out of the can, I'm tryin not to have to run the dishwasher a bunch of times.

Ksyrup · 12-27-2011, 01:08 PM

I refuse to drink pop out of a cup with ice. It waters the pop down and just doesn't taste nearly as good as it does straight from a can. I will only drink out of the can, preferably after leaving the can in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Pumpy Tudors · 12-27-2011, 01:12 PM

Passacaglia · 12-27-2011, 02:22 PM

I'm a 'no ice' guy myself. It doesn't have to be out of the can for me -- fountain is fine, and in a glass is fine -- but definitely no ice.

You should look into whiskey stones.

Ksyrup · 12-27-2011, 03:24 PM

I don't pour my drinks into anything. I will always drink straight from the can if possible. I don't even like the feel/taste of pop in a glass without ice.

When email signatures are a different font than the the rest of the email.

Drake · 01-31-2012, 10:45 AM

Related to DC:

email sigs that threaten me with legal action if I read it but was not the intended recipient, if I forward it to unauthorized persons, attribute the contents to the sender without their permission, etc.

It's like this: You send me a fucking e-mail, I can do whatever the hell I want with it. If you don't trust me enough to deal with the info appropriately, don't fucking send me an e-mail. Don't pretend like you sending me an e-mail constitutes a legal contract that I've opted into just because you have my e-mail address.

But most importantly, don't be such a pretentious cocksucker. You may be very proud of being some important douchebag's career secretary, but I can assure you that there's nothing you're going to send me that's going to be remotely interesting enough to read in the first place, let alone pass on to forces bent on taking over the world, ending Western prosperity or spreading the influence of Communism.

I've always thought this should be at the beginning of the email.

How am I supposed to know the message is not intended for me without first reading said message? If the warning appeared first, maybe I'd just delete immediately, not pass go, not collect $200, and remove the worry that it was not intended for me.

Not sure this really qualifies as a pet peeve since it only amuses me and doesn't really bother me.

Why do people use their turn signal when they are in a turn only lane? I know you are going to either go left or right. You are not going to surprise me if you don't use your blinker and then make a turn in a (*GASP!!!*) turn only lane.

Pet Peeve: If you are either unwilling or unable to walk faster than a snail's pace in the corporate hallways, get the bleep out of the way for those who are able to normally walk much faster than you. And stop walking right in the middle of the damn hallway, too.

That is all.

Rizon · 01-31-2012, 12:50 PM

When my wife leaves the toilet lid up and the bathroom door open when our dog is in the house. Because said dog will always go drink out of the toilet, then immediately head in my direction and slime me.

Similar to this, groups who walk 3-4 abreast on the sidewalk or in a hallway talking and don't leave much room for people to walk in the other direction. Hey, if the conversation is so good that you have to be right next to each other and block my path, SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE OR BE RAN OVER. Your choice.

Heh.....you've never driven in New Jersey, have you?

EagleFan · 01-31-2012, 02:49 PM

Idiot teenagers that walk through the development down the middle of the streets and take their own sweet time moving out of the way if cars are trying to drive past. There are freaking sidewalks on every street in the development, walk on them!

Edit: The roads in the development are really no different that the streets where I grew up and while we may have played ball in the streets we still walked on the sidewalks when we were walking places. Plus when we were playing ball in the streets we were always on the lookout for cars as we knew that if we got hit it would be OUR fault.

What he said.

Oh, and ice can make a soda even better because you get the release of the CO2 into a great head on the soda. It's when it sits around and waters down when the issue begins. It also has to be first time for the ice being poured over. When the cube is still cold enough to stick to your finger if you touch it. That causes the maximum fizziing of the soda. Great flavor there! Drink though it quick enough to get the ice cubes to chew while they still have a bit of the soda flavor and are still crisp (minimal meltage) that it a bonus.

EagleFan · 01-31-2012, 03:44 PM

I do the same thing. I love the look of surprise/shock on the peoples' face when the door opens. So lets see here...you've waited for the elevator to get to your floor and there's probably a decent chance that other people could be using that very same elevator that you're waiting for, yet, your SUPRISED someone is getting off when the door opens. Fools...

I thought those had something built in to not trip after 3 straight times.

Maybe it just figures that the car alarm is part of the ambient noises of Oakland.
