    I think I've said this before, but it has to be said again.

    People who FUCKING DIAL ON THEIR PHONES ON SPEAKERPHONE AT THE OFFICE AND LET IT RING.

    Like fuck THE FUCK off and hold it up to your ear asshole.

    Normally it wouldn't be an issue, but crusty old fuck one does it, and the boss (crusty old fuck two) also does it.

    I think I'm tired enough of it, that I'm just going to start playing loud music everytime they do it out of my computer speakers.

    I fucking hate fingerprints on my monitors, but that's my anal retentiveness. But what really drives me up the wall:

    Me: Please don't touch my monitors.
    Person: Oh sure, sorry.

    Me: Again, please don't touch my monitors.
    Person: Oh yeah, forgot.

    Me: DO NOT TOUCH MY MONITORS.
    Person: Oh right.
    I'm the same way but at work I just had to give up.

    Cleaning staff cleans them with wet dirty rags and leaves super noticeable cleaning swirls/smudges all over them that light up any time the sun is even slightly on my monitors.

    Coworkers point to things with greasy fingers, pencil crayons, and pens leaving marks and sometimes long lines across the monitors. You can't win.

    The problem is it's literally impossible to clean a matte LCD screen (or any screen that isn't glass) and leave no trace, so once someone touches it once, it's all downhill from there. You either clean it and get different smudges, or live with the mark. Even with things like distilled water and 99.99% isopropyl alcohol, you cannot clean them back to an original state.

    As a dog owner I get pissed at people that don;t clean up after their dog takes a crap. No excuse for it.

    Same. We were out walking the dogs yesterday and saw that someone picked up after their (large) dog, tied the bag, then just left the bag sitting on the ground. What kind of asshole would think that helps? If you're going to leave dog shit on the ground, don't even bother bagging it. At least that way it'll eventually break down, not just sit there in a bag until the end of time.

    When we moved into our place there was so much dog shit left behind it took me 30 minutes to clean it up.

    If I was taking my dog for a walk and I KNOW I am coming back the exact same way I would do this sometimes just so that I didn't have to carry the shit with me. The problem was many people like you or others would be all "the fuck are people leaving their shit bags behind for" without pausing for a moment to think maybe there is a valid reason.

    My dog has had a bad case of the runs for a week. I feel bad not picking up after her, but the best I can do is maybe pick up 40% and smear the rest around. Maybe I should carry a hose.

    In Japan, any time a dog pees or poops, they pull out a water bottle and wash the residue off the sidewalk. Nobody would ever do that here but your comment just reminded me of it haha.

    Are you sure that they weren't just putting it down and picking it up later?

    On Saturday, I was out on a hike and I did not want to carry the poop bag so I just set it down by a sign and picked it back up on my way back.

    People who seem completely confused by the "take a number" system. You entered the office, 5 people are sitting holding numbers in their hand, and you stand directly in front of the big red sign explaining to take a number, but there you stand anyways.

    When people ask you why you don’t have kids and you politely say you’re not ready and they say ‘no ones ever really ready, you just do it and figure it out as you go along’. Thanks for the shitty life advice...

    Similarly, people confused by lineups.

    There are certain lines (say a till at a grocery store/walmart) where you choose which till you are going to and get in line. Then there are the tills like at banks, department stores, or whatever where you lineup and then go to the next available till. It's not hard, and yet people always just try and walk in front of you.

    My favourite is when things are backed up and there isn't enough room for a single file line, so you patiently stand off to the side and people just walk on by and kind of insert themselves in

    People who constantly think the worst of others. I have one buddy like this, and it's exhausting.

    People at fast food food places and coffee shops who go up to the cashier and have no clue what they want to order.

    My wife believes everyone else thinks the worst of her. Just as exhausting.

    I would consider myself a pessimist, it makes things less disappointing if they don’t turn out... that being said if things do turn out it’s much better

    I don’t think I do it constantly nor do I constantly talk about it or talk people down
