    Yes, this is one of my pet peeves, when people don't understand the difference between these two things.
    When you start allowing that though people will stop to wait for the person in the store and call it 'loading'.


    My biggest pet peeve is god damn taxi drivers who stop on roads downtown during rush hour that are no stop areas. Fuck off.

    The biggest reason they are using the fire engine is that they are returning from a call and actually need those groceries. I can't speak to every station in the city, but at most local stations there is no such thing as a "running around SUV" for the firefighters to use to go shopping. They are expected to be in that truck and rolling within (I think) 180 seconds for the entire 12 hour shift in the event of a call. If they took some other vehicle (even if one existed) then they'd need to drive back to the station, the load up the bunker gear, and then roll out. Response times would be ridiculous. There is zero issue driving the fire engine to the grocery store. None.
    And the CFD doesn't buy their groceries (except bottled water and Powerade)-they pay out of pocket. The reason they seem to do a lot of shopping is for their shift. Any good stuff left in the fridge gets consumed by another shift.

    Opening the cereal bag the FULL fucking length. Now it's less likely to stay fresh in the box and why?!? Were you picturing needing to dump the entire contents into something as fast as fucking possible?
    Just open it about 25-35% from the corner and shake the delicious fresh cereal out as needed.

    Got my wireless earbuds, charging cable and usb a wall charger for a weekend trip. Just realize I grabbed the usb c to usb c instead of the one with usb a on one end.
    Adding to my shopping list, wall charger with usb c or multi usb cable.

    Career websites that require me to upload a resume as well as fill out my position history manually. Fuck right off.

    I'm so tired of this. And sometimes it tries to autofill from your uploaded resume, but then it just uselessly grabs the wrong information.

    To be fair, I would prefer to have both. 1 properly formatted resume someone can read. The other is data entry so the algorithm can see what boxes you check.

    It is time consuming though.

    If the system would allow you to upload one unformatted resume for it to fill the boxes and a "good" resume for humans to read, that would be ideal. But it doesn't, and every time you show up at an interview, they have your resume printed off, so it's not like you can just upload the unformatted one.

    Funny enough, there's software that can read properly formatted resumes to compare against requirement really well. Also seems like the bigger the company, the worse the software seems to function. I've made 25+ separate resumes in 2019 alone for positions, so I'm getting a good feel for this.

    I get so frustrated when coming up to a set of lights, and because of a bit of snow on the ground people stop 10 feet back from the stop line. the people beside them at the light also stop way too far back. And same with the turning lane. They don't hit the sensor and in turn you end up waiting through three or four rounds of lights. finally having to honk your horn to get the people to pull up onto the stop line so the lights go green. happened to me twice this week already.
    I see this all the time haha, I am the guy that actually stops at the line, and the look on people's faces on neighboring lanes when they think I am sitting in the intersection is hilarious.

    Kijiji businesses that repost what seems like hundreds of nearly identical items every few hours with generic keywords to keep their stuff at the top of search results so we can't find the actual classifieds type deals. Fuck those guys are the worst.

    Cracker Barrel giving me not enough cheese! This is an unopened package, and I didn't notice in the store but at home it seemed a little thin.
    Scale doesn't lie!

    To be fair, it is 'light' old cheddar.

    Aside from that, we found our similar scale got more inaccurate as the weights increased - verified this with some actual items of which we knew the correct weight of.
    Will fuck off, again.
