When I'm a dictator, I will force car companies to not even include climate controls in cars. Shit is auto set to 19.5 from the factory and you get what you get.

You can't be my boyfriend anymore.

After this blows over, can I watch you guys have make-up sex?

My wife does not use the automatic temperature controls in the car. Instead of setting the car at a reasonable temperature and allowing the computer to manage it, just jacks the temp all the way up to "high" (thinking it will warm the car faster), and then adjusts the fan after the fact. She ignores the little "auto" button. I find it infuriating. I'm thinking of divorce.

You are not alone brother.

I don’t even like people pointing my vents in different directions. I assume the directions were chosen for a good reason to manage airflow in the vehicle, any deviation will obviously be suboptimal.

Wtf is with women that do this????


My wife does it at home...I come down from my nap and find the thermostat saying 25 degrees, ask her wtf, she said she was cold and turned it to 25 so it would get hot faster and forgot about it.

I've yet to meet a woman who doesn't do this. Not trying to be sexist, I know a few guys who do it too, but 100% of women I've driven with do exactly this.

I have a big pet peeve for people who treat field hands poorly. I know a lot of wellsite guys are assholes, but that was always one of my criteria. If someone has to kick someone's ass, let's do that back at the office. I nearly fired one of my guys when he ran off a service hand once without talking to me first. I was fucking furious.

I had a job start up last fall. At the prespud I saw a company man I remembered from years before, and knew him as a 100% grade A asshole. The guy in charge, drilling manager or whatever, said that any issues on this project would be talked out and the days of supervisors screaming at people were behind us. I was like, have you met your night guy? Because I have, and I feel like those days are definitely not behind us. A few months later he laid into me one morning so hard that people who weren't even on location at the time were asking me if I was okay.

He's not here anymore and it's unbelievable how much morale and productivity has improved.

I hate the auto, but that's mostly because I want full control on fan speed and air distribution.

My car has 3 modes of auto, it’s magical

If you have a 2 stage furnace it's actually true. Usually a 2 °C + differential will make the thermostat run stage 2 on the furnace and it will heat up faster get to the set point of 25°C. Assuming it was in stage 1 before.

I wish houses (particularly big ones where it makes a difference) can be equipped with motion sensing dampers. So if you're in the house and there is motion, dampers open and reverts back to close if no motion is sensed for say, 15 minutes or whatever you choose to program it to. Wonder how much money it would save annually on heating/cooling costs.

Buy a Nest, set it up with the lock and then forget to tell her the PIN.

Having my username usurped by a social media platform that's worse than twitter, facebook, and instagram combined.

Why the fuck are bean sprouts always sold out? At least half the time I look for them they don’t exist. Four stores this evening and finally found a bag misplaced at coop.

They're almost always in stock at Lucky and 1/2 the price of co-op.

On topic: People who take the last cookie and leave the box. Pretty sure this isn't even a pet peeve, more of a rage moment.

Clothing store with Canadian website and all prices in Canadian dollars.
Charges you about 23% duty & poorly estimated tax at checkout and another $10 for shipping that conveniently wipes out their MASSIVE CYBER MONDAY DISCOUNTS!!!

Eat shit.

The same people who'll leave an ice tray with one or no ice cubes in the freezer. The same people that'll leave the toilet paper one square challenge. The same people who can't bring up a new tissue box when it's blatantly obvious there's only one tissue left in the box on the counter. The same people who'll empty out the shampoo/rinse containers and not replace them. The same people who won't get a new loaf of bread from the freezer when there's only two heels left in the bag in the cupboard.

I don't use ice often but a few times over the past few years I've kept an old ice cream bucket filled with ice cubes so there was always ice available or so was my thinking (not baller enough to have fridge with ice maker). Well guess what, that bucket would empty out and so would the trays and now I don't bother with either. That magical ice cube fairy in our house, well she's just plain old disappeared.
