Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

Fuck the police.

Really didn’t think snow blowing was going to be on the list for today, but leave it to the dipshits at the city to surprise me.

Really happy with the city dragging a grader out to spread a foot of snow and ice in front of my fucking driveway

I had kept it meticulously clear all winter but glad the city is paying some dipshit to come out on a Saturday and “improve” things.

Last night at about 1am they had the grader going back and forth down the alley perpendicular to my street for a solid half an hour. On one side of that alley is a bunch of condos so I am sure those people were pumped that they figured that was an appropriate time to grade and have the back up beeper constantly going off for that long. The city is smrt

Chat functionality in Teams. Coming from Skype for Business, i really liked the option to have every chat as a separate window. Now with Teams, every chat is part of the main Teams window until you manually pop it out.

Relations from Vancouver who insist on referring to the river pathway as “the seawall”.

Actually. Everything is my pet peeve this week, broke my thumb on the weekend and I’m severely under medicated (and instructed not to drink).

People from out east who refer to electricity and any electricity utility company and infrastructure as HYDRO. Fuck you.

Yes, but their hydro is all hydro.
Ontario is a dog's breakfast, nuked and smoked.

That's what I was thinking, reminded me of my friends that grew up on the island.

Same here, haven't heard that term since I left. Also idiots who refer to Condos as "Strata" in AB.

The Hyundai commercial with the guy dancing? Why not cowbell? We need more cowbell.

Costco.
This just in: 4 quarts of toilet bowl cleaner and a package of large Ziploc bags are now "LARGE ITEMS" so the cashier will be a giant cunt to you for daring to put them on the conveyor.

I thought a box less than 4kg that I can pick up from its top was not the same as a 25kg sack of dog food. Now I've learned same = same.

It was like being at airport security in there today. Fuck me! Been there a thousand times but couldn't do anything right.

[killramos]

I find they hate you for putting things on conveyer, and they hate you for leaving things in the cart.

Can’t win, so I don’t try.

[ExtraSlow]

Costco hates you like I hate Ontario.

Tsuutina Costco has self check out... which is great, except for when they have attendants there that want to scan everything straight from your cart, not giving you the opportunity to put it in a box. I don't want a cart full of loose goods to take to the car, put it in a goddamned box. Or let me do it at least.

[dirtsniffer]

I've been grabbing a box on my way in lately. load it up as I go for self check out. cause it saves a bunch of time for how much I usually buy

Living in a condo as a car enthusiast. Basically starts and ends with that sentence.

Detailing your car or working on it in the underground parkade? Trying to escape from the wife or just have some quiet time? Nice try, because you'd better be prepared for retirees or other bored lonely people to make the same tired joke of "you can do mine next!" or "what's wrong with it now" "oh, your car's dripping oil did you know that?" Piss off and mind your own business already ..unless you're offering to help or bringing beverages.

More and more Calgarians parking 2’ from curb since Covid

Also you can only hide or mute a chat, but it's still hiding there? Skype doesn't save them once you close the window, afaik..

I voted for the chat window thing, although i haven't been personally victimized by it yet.
