Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

When the nut you dropped in a tight space has just enough iron in it to wiggle around with a magnet. But not enough to actually pick it up...

I hate screwdrivers that have just enough magnetism at the tip to be annoying and not enough to firmly hold said screws in place.

I'm on a flight to Vancouver...sitting in wj premium.

I'm surrounded by deadheading crew. Why the fuck don't they upgrade a paying customer?

Fuck you WestJet

Because pilots control airlines.

Also a pet peeve of mine.

When you tell someone not to do something, because it's not going to go well, then you get roped into helping them, and it doesn't go well. Fornicate.

Avoid rope when you see it coming at you, problem solved.

It's good advice.

When you agree to do something in a meeting, like sending someone something in an email, and when you do it, they respond with "thanks ExtraSlow". Fucking hell, I get a lot of emails, and I don't need extra ones just to let me know that you are thankful for the thing you asked for. Politeness goes a long way, but that's just stupid, particularly for people you work with ALL THE DAMN TIME.

I certainly do not miss those days of office emails, my current line of work involves no emails, well maybe 2 a year (WCB, business insurance). Pick up the paperwork, do the job, return the paperwork. Have a problem, make a phone call. Easy peasy.

Life is really quite a bit less stressful without having to deal with email all the time.

At my daughters soccer, tier 3 nothing fancy but the other team has tier 1 players on their team that are easily 2-3 years old than our players... doesn’t make for a fun game

[Disoblige]

People who use absolutes to describe people or events when it's obviously not true.

It isn't in reference to your comment haha.

People who over-share. I volunteer with a dude who tells me his entire life story whenever I see him. Mundane boring shit, old shit, boring shit he's planning. It's awful. He's a nice dude, and good on him for volunteering, but holy hell it's too much.

Movies (and I think it's about 90% of them) that alternate between absolutely deafening music & action scenes and overly silent dialogue scenes.
Why?

Stuck in first aid this weekend (full 16hr bullshit not the renewal)

Saint johns ambulance, red cross and whats this group today (lifeguard?) all have my email address on file. Why the eff cant they send an email reminder - "your first aid ticket expires in 6 months - heres a list of upcoming courses"?

And why the eff cant they all use heimlich maneuver (pelvic thrust really?) and the same terms & acronyms? Im looking through the red cross and st johns books tonight and they all have their own stupid versions for everything just to be different.

[ExtraSlow]

When you working on a document for someone at work, and it ends up being pretty lengthy, so they ask for a shorter version, and then they don't like the shorter version.
Told the dude to write his own, fucks sakes.
