When Americans hear the word ‘sticker’ for the first time ever, from your own mouth. I didn’t know that sticker is apparently a Canadian term?

Epoxy as a design element should be punishable by death.

there's a guy on the youtube that does desks where he takes hardwood throwaway slabs and fills them in with black epoxy. That seems acceptable. But river tables? Fuck that shit right in the bleeding starfish.

Tell that to Blackforest. They've built a global following doing this shit... and charge an arm and a leg. Good for them.

It's really popular. Doesn't make it right.

Two hour mandatory meetings for a client to discuss their new policy of vaccination.

240 attendees, and it turns into a fucking political debate about legalities of mandatory vaccinations...

It will probably not be legal in the majority of situations. Court cases are going either way so they're no help either.

Even better:

- Companies have to start bringing back employees to the office or else WFH is an implied accepted situation.
- Not requiring vaccinated employees could mean that companies are negligent in the safety of their employees.

Even asking for proof is a legal grey area, so everybody's doing it now while it's allowed.

Westjet.

Have a vacation booked with them in March. Flights got changed by a few hours (For the better!) and they insist that you haved to call them to confirm it still works or they will eventually cancel your booking. EVERY single person on the flight, not just the people that it DOESNT work for. (TO rebook) Oh, and dont try out that automated callback system, thats only for regular flights, not the vacation packages.
Twice I have called and been on hold for 2.5hrs only to have my office phone line cut out.

I had something similar happen on the weekend and after 2 hours I gave up and just showed up at the airport.

For a fresh pet peeve.

It’s not “unexpectedly higher call volume” if it’s always higher. You are just cheap, not hiring enough call support staff, and lying about it. Cut the shit and own it.
