Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

[SKR]

If you're at somebody's house, and they're having a few friends over for drinks, and you're in charge of music, please for the love of fuck play whole songs. If you're that much of a fucking scatterbrain idiot that you can't even make it to the hook of Jump Around without switching to Born to Run and then to Poker Face, hand the controls over to someone else.

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.

As an IT guy, I tent to avoid touching monitors, as some care, some don't. I do the hover finger.

Keep a wooden ruler at your desk. Get old school Catholic nun/teacher on his hand every time it happens.

People walking side by side on a 2-person wide sidewalk toward me. Then instead of going single file when we're about to pass one another, they think slightly turning and dropping a shoulder back is giving me enough room. I now stop dead in my tracks and wait for them to pass (making sure first no one is behind me).

At wand wash today. Watching guy use brush on whole vehicle.

Pet peeve #1.

I walk over and say "hey man, I don't want to tell you how to wash your car, but I'm curious though if you've ever found swirls in your paint from using the brush? You can get the same result using pre-soak and without the brush. Try it!"

Him: "You don't know what you're talking about."

Me: "You're right. There's no way a brush full of rocks and dirt would be damaging to your paint. Cheers".

Pet peeve #2: when being right is more important than doing whats right. Sad part is that it was a beautiful Mercedes coupe. Ugh.

[Tik-Tok]

Well, pre-soak only works if you actively maintain your car and keep it waxed and/or sealed.

Just watching people use those brushes though, instead of using a proper microfiber, etc...

Most people just don't care or think it is a big deal. They probably wouldn't even notice the swirls even if there were any.

I don't even use that brush to wash my rims. I use it to brush away crap off my tires

On this topic: the guy who thinks it's his damn right to stand on the left side of the escalator.

The average Costco customer.

Holy shit I almost lost it there tonight haha. If you have a list, know where the items are, Costco is just not the place you want to shop. I’m fairly certain there is a large portion of the shoppers that wander aimlessly there for entertainment

To be fair, I do that at Costco when I'm in the US cause they have so much stuff we don't get here. But yeah you're right, you don't go browsing at (your own) Costco.

And costco designed it that way. They specifically don't put signs up labeling the aisles, so you'll wander and ideally pick up more things than you had originally hoped.

Parents who are puking sick, stay home from work, but still send their kids to dayhome. Yay, your selfishness just infected 8 other kids and their parents, good job assholes.

This paradoxical situation

Employees that come into work sick because calling in sick is discouraged... Getting everyone else sick and catching shit for coming in sick

New parents that refer to their baby as “baby” not “the baby” ,”our baby” but “baby”

“Me and baby went to the park”

Oh yeah? Me and dog went for a walk today.

Thanks Mr potato head haha
