Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

[SKR]

This shit on Facebook.

Thank you for telling me how to do the bypass.
This is good to know: It's ridiculous to have over 350 friends and only some are allowed to see my post.
I ignored this post earlier, but It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed.
Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. Therefore,
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go your page, start a new post and put yours finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click paste.
This will bypass the system.

Also, any "like if you agree". Fuck you, you're not my boss.

People that say they're a handyman but then crack out the combination screwdriver.

Politely f off, in the field a combo screwdriver is a life saver vs carrying 40 different screwdrivers.

Love me a god damn high quality combo screwdriver. Yes, the right screwdriver is always better, but when I have to climb 10 stories to do some work, I'm not going back down to the truck to get the correct size robertson.

In a more shop-type situation, always use the right screwdriver since they are right there.

Career websites that ONLY work on Internet Explorer. What the fuck? Applying for a job at the city and was totally unable to make a new account using chrome.

My company booked it for a return home from Toronto, I didn’t book it myself, but going forward ensuring I specifically request to avoid this airline

Terrible...
Think of people who go as cheap as they can for holidays, and don’t shower
Combine that with grumpy old stewardesses, 0 inflight amenities, and even smaller seats with less leg room than anything I’ve ever been on before
The guy next to me was spreading his elbows and was jamming into my ribs for the duration of the flight, if I tried moving a bit I would get hit by the oversized ladies constantly walking up and down the aisles
Absolutely awful 4 hour plane trip

Google Maps: "Traffic congestion ahead, you are still on the fastest route despite traffic, you will reach your destination in 35 minutes."

Me: *Takes an easy left turn onto another major road, instead of going straight where the congestion is*

Google Maps: "Recalculating... you will reach your destination in 18 minutes."

Worse service, worse on-time performance, more cancelled flights etc. Two or three notches below the worst the Air Canada or Westjet have to offer. Best case is still pretty poor. And often not even much cheaper.

That spring street cleaning starts at 6am. WTF? I already stashed one vehicle in a nearby neighborhood last night, but figured I'd have time this morning to move the other. Nope!
Oh well at least they do five or six passes. I got the savage fit moved in the middle of that convoy. So it's spot is clean ish.

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but fast food workers who don't hand you food at an appropriate level.

Like, my shoulder is at or below the window sill, how the f&$k am I going to BEND my arm below it? Especially when their serving window is HIGHER than my window sill, just hand the shit to my god damn hand.

Proper procedure - You approximately match my hand height, I grab coffee, and I proceed to LIFT up while you let go of the cup. This insures I have a handle on the cup, and gives you feedback to let go of the cup. Dropping the cup down makes no sense as there isnt enough feedback to be able to recognize when I have full control of the cup.

Haha I think both our neighbourhoods are on the same schedule. I left my car on the street until 7 when I went to work. No sign of cleaning though so I think I’m safe.

6AM to 6PM though. What a joke. As if any city employee is going to work that long of a day. That’s probably what? 3 shifts lol

The worst part - when our street was scheduled for it's sweeping (7 am last saturday on the sign), the parkplus camera car with the rooftop thule camera went down at 7:01 and snapped pics of all the cars that weren't moved off the street. ACTUAL cleaning didn't start til 10am. all of the parked cars were gone by then. So, the offenders probably assumed they were ok...i suspect tickets are arriving right about now. Now that would suck.....

This Klein 11-1 is my go-to. It's just such a fantastic tool.

I have a camera on the front of my house. I will definitely fight the ticket if I was ticketed hours (or days if they don’t even get to it) in advance of cleaning.

They cleaned our street at work 1 day before the before the sign said, and I had left the company car on the street so it didn’t get cleaned in front of the building. They were in the community again the next day (as the sign said) and didn’t come down the street again. Annoying.

[killramos]

Well mine got done on the first day which is good. At least I don’t have to worry for the second day

[03ozwhip]

I was telling Killramos earlier, my pet peeve is (again) kijiji idiots.

Agreed on a price and spoke with the guy for over a week, only a half hour before I'm supposed to be there, buddy ups the price by $150. WTF? Who does that?

[killramos]

^Gets to the point where it’s not worth it to buy/sell things that’s for sure.

[Tik-Tok]

I'm starting to hate selling on Facebook more than Kijiji.

"Seller hasn't responded to my message, HE'S A SCAMMER!". Like twelve fucking hours after I posted my truck for sale.

When you plan a quiet afternoon home with the family on the 4th day of the 4 day weekend so everyone can relax and calm down and you end up inviting over some really high energy friends do the house is at volume 11 the whole afternoon.
