Shit that annoys you

[Danno]

I was kinda dreading the 50K milestone actually.

All this was because Spotify got hacked and sent me a notice and I had used that password/email combo all over the place so I went though and changed all of them. And I haven't used Spotify in like 4 years. It''s gonna be interesting finding out over time what other shit I messed up. fml.

your usergroup says "users awaiting email confirmation", whatever that means.

[BmillsSkier]

What's a usergroup, and why does Iceman get one?

[ötzi]

Yeah I think they went to the email I used when I first registered, which is long gone. I went through trying to reset the shit several times and it kept saying emails had been sent but I never got them. Finally that dawned on me.

Those are good questions too. I think I scrambled the iceman account information more thoroughly than I could have if I had tried to do it. ah well. It's a new day here in the freezer.

People being late to meetings.

We have a new group of folk from an acquisition, and apparently their culture didn’t prioritize timeliness. Pretty much a given that they’ll be a few minutes late to every meeting. Usually not more than 5 minutes....

[Timberridge]

Call the meeting 5 mins earlier.

[NW_SKIER]

Everyone who shows up 5 minutes earlier to be on time like they usually are will still have to wait for the late arrivals. Same shit happens where I was working. Write them up. Only way to solve it. 2 write ups for the same reason and you're gone. It's not hard to show up on time. My dad taught me that as a boy with some good scoldings.

[Mustonen]

Public, half joking call outs are working well so far without too much of a culture shock. I just got a new person from that group, though, so need to correct her too.

Most meetings are zoom or webex these days, which makes it so damn easy to be on time.

Well, that's not even late.

Bad Roo self extracted at his mile marker. Wish he hadn’t. Funny mutherfucker.

I think this is for the best.
Embrace the umlaut.

It’s like rolling the odometer on an old car. It’s instantly low mileage.

Paul:
Neal, in Montana there's three things we're never late for: church, work and fishing.

Oddly, that quote just came to mind yesterday.

the people using public restrooms in an office building that cannot make the paper towel to the trash bin and/or leave the bits and pieces of towels that fall off in a bad tear and leave them on the floor.

the janitorial staff is already literally cleaning people's shit up, they should stop being a lazy fuck and pick up the paper towels you used and put them in a bin !

[PB]

People that think it's perfectly acceptable to keep piling trash onto an overflowing trash can ANY WHERE
(my kitchen, a public restroom/covid culture room, the local park, etc.)

[hatchgreenchile]

MLM scams

[Core Shot]

If a public restroom door doesn’t open out, at least have the decency to install a foot opener

Just wait for the next urgent customer ya baby.

Crows cawing outside my bedroom window from about 5:45 on today with my alarm set for 6:15. It's hard enough to sleep in the morning right now because the sun comes up so early.

I have a similar issue with a couple of angry squirrels. They're hanging out in a giant walnut tree on the neighbors property and are either pissed at each other or antagonizing one of our cats. Constant chirping with the occasional loud squeak.

Speaking of neighbors, their AC has a dying compressor running 23.5 out of 24 hours every day regardless of outside temps. It's right on the property line (of course) directly across from the patio we've been slowly improving and has finally become a really pleasant spot to hang out.
I know this has been discussed here or in its own thread in the past but how fucking stupid does one have to be run the AC and not open windows when the outside temps at night dip in the low 60s? We live on a quiet street, no bugs to speak of, all their windows have screens. They must be glued shut or something...

Suggestions for the best way to, ahem, ease the compressor's suffering so the landlord can replace it with a model that doesn't sound like a jet taking off?

It would be terrible if one of those squirrels or a mouse ate through some of the wires in that AC unit.

Brilliant! I'm off to re-train some rodents.

24 hrs after stubbing the toe on the couch, I cant put on shoes, foot swollen, and I can barely hobble to get a beer out of the fridge.

I'm annoyed I'm missing disc round today.

[bobz]

Ok, minor gripe, but I just got a replacement credit card with "touch pay" etc. Heavy!! WTF, ten of these cards would weigh as much as my iPhone.

I've been having a flock of birds fly over and land on my building or adjacent one at 2, 3, 4 in the morning. No idea what they are, they have a more shrill, high pitched caw than a crow and the whole flock is squawking at once, non-stop.

[old goat]

We evicted a pair of Stellar jays from the beam over our deck. Now one of them follows us around the property and squawks at us every time we go outside.

There is no "shit that enrages you" thread so here I am. My daughter is 8 and at camp today another kid kicked her shoes away from her. When she asked him why he did that he replied that "if he had a gun he would shoot her dead."
