I don't know how people leave the house with their guts full of logs.

I wish there were separate public bathrooms with just urinals, so I could go snap off a quick whiz without smelling 16 people growing tails in the stalls.

It is pretty nasty, especially in small office washrooms. I guess some people have chronic health issues that lead to more frequent visits, however having coworkers who seem to largely survive on tim hortons and coffee you sure see them in the washroom a lot stinking it up to high heaven I really hate shared washrooms for that.

And people who don't have basic consideration such as not leaving their forest of pubes all over the lid/toilet paper all over the place because they're too dainty to sit down on plastic like anyone else. Or not turning on the fan when the smell could peel paint. Probably why they're single and don't get any action beyond pixels on a phone.

Roads in and around Calgary airport. Wtf is even going on there now.

Calgary airport itself. Wtf have they done. Had a flight last night. I walk 2 hours to get to security screening D only to find it closed. Walk 2 hours back. Go through security C. Then walk another 2 hours to my gate in section D.

Being in meetings with >15 attendees, most of whom are very busy, and a select few (independent contractors, not my co-workers) are making stupid/not funny jokes and laughing amongst themselves instead of having pointed discussion, and maybe even ending the meeting early. What a waste of goddamn time and client money.

Working with healthcare and retail clients isn't so bad, but energy & resources is the fucking worst for this.

YouTube no longer showing me the number of Thumbs Down a video got because feelings.
Fuck them!!
I needed that thing as a gauge to tell me whether this video delivers what it promises or whether it's 13 minutes of poorly lit trash filmed in a wind tunnel by Michael J. Fox.

Well as Beyonders we all have private washrooms at work, so on the weekends just use a piss jug in your limo and have your driver dispose of it in Aspen. I think that's in our handbook somewhere.

When someone ask you a question via text, social media, Whatsapp, etc. and you reply pretty much instantly and they leave you hanging for a significant amount of time (multiple days). Like work on your communication skills you fuck.

When a Canadian version of a big box store doesn't carry what you want, and they can't order it from their US stores that do carry it, and the US store won't ship to Canada, or even let you use a Canadian credit card to ship it to a US address.

Municipal offices that can't respond to calls or emails. I'm trying to find out the status of an electrical permit on my house because the PO said it was completed and closed but I don't have the sticker on my panel to prove that so I want to confirm. I've sent an email, and message through the website, and called/left messages over the last week but no one will fucking reply.

I've had this precise issue. Eventually, they'll tell you that (for no apparent reason) they didn't need to do an electrical inspection beyond rough-in and that you're completely clear.
Print email and tape to wall next to breaker panel. Email to yourself with tags like "electrical permit" and "inspection" etc etc etc
Profit.

APA format.

How is this still a thing?! It's calculated to be the needless opposite of every other citation format on earth, simultaneously. It is the worst, in every way.

Useless academic bureaucracy. Simple as that.
