This week has been really out of hand with the fake calls, I usually don’t even answer unknown numbers anymore.
1 call was “legit”, my Mercedes guy trying to see if i am looking for anything new. So still really spam lol

It’s been nuts, more frustrating is also properly formatted numbers... more annoyingly is when they have TO area codes... thinking it’s work related cause I forgot to log into salesforce again and my work line isn’t up
If I didn’t use this phone for work I would totally block calls from unknown numbers.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But I have no idea who will be calling me from work or regulators etc. unfortunately.
Literally got another one since posting.
Edit: Gonna try “send unknown callers to voicemail” for a bit and see how that goes.

Not sure if pet peeve is the right word. But just had to dodge an armchair in the middle of Deerfoot northbound by Seton.
That was alarming.
If anyone is driving through there... skip the leftmost 2 lanes. I dunno who I could even call to report about that.
Edit: Tried non emerge for 15 minutes on hold and hung up. Sounds like CPS is already defunded.

Was it a black chair?
Chair was very white. When I called the real number and told them there was a white chair in an emergency they sent someone right away!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

This is going to sound super uppity suburban... but people that buy houses and then take absolutely no care of their lawn or actively make it look like shit.
One of my neighbours arrived three years ago (upgraded from a condo). They have yet to buy a lawnmower - instead, every month or two the grass (well, mostly weeds, but who's counting) gets really high, so he borrows a string trimmer from his friend and just goes fucking ham on the front lawn. The only spot he doesn't rip down to patchy dirt is the "flower bed" in the middle, which is actually a bunch of flowering weeds he dug out of the alleyway and replanted in the middle of his lawn with some bricks around them. Hey, I guess they're technically perennials.
I'm not expecting people to have golf-green lawns by any means, but some folks seem to put in extra effort to make their yard look like total dogshit.
When an executive skips a meeting, and then you have a "follow-up" meeting, but the executive shows up to that one, and you end up rehashing every single things you worked on last time, rednering the first meeting completely useless.
I can live with the time-zone difficulties that mean I'm in video meetings at 9PM at night. But FFS, I'd like to feel like the meeting accomplishes something.

I have the same pet peeve, except instead of executives it’s with people irrelevant to the outcome or project who you invited to avoid them feeling left out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

That’s why you send an email with a few summary bullet points to the person so they feel included. Tell them you’re happy to have a chat if they have any questions. 9/10 times they don’t even want any more info, and you’re in the clear since they’ve been included.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I don't mind extra people coming to a meeting, as long as they don't derail. And if they are below me on the totem pole, I can keep em quiet enough.

I am so grateful that those types of meetings are not a part of my life anymore. Simpler life, happier speedog.
If I could count on people to not make up a bunch of useless complications and cause me headaches I could having to go to every meeting. Getting meetings minutes? I can't even get a damn agenda.
100% valid pet peeve.
I'll add a new one. Engineers who much prefer to get caught up in insignificant details instead of focusing on delivery and the big picture. I say engineers cause I am one, I am sure it's a personality trait in other professions as well.

I am an Engineer, and I would agree in my career I've had more problems with Engineers than all other titles and roles combined.

That's because the majority of the profession thinks being an engineer is strictly a technical realm and make excuses on how it's totally OK they are deficient in other departments "because I am an engineer".This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Oh, my chicken scratch? Yes, because I am an engineer.
Oh, my disorganized nature? Yeah... I'm an engineer.
Oh, my inability to reply back to e-mails promptly or at all? I'm an engineer.
Oh, my whiny attitude on work that should be done by someone else? *waves pinky ring*, that's right, I'm an engineer.
The only other more problematic group of people is the Building Standards department in "your City goes here". Especially their "I couldn't cut it in a real firm so I god complex as much as my Unionized work hours allow" Engineers (in training).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Attendance bloat is the bain of my existence lately, compounded by stupid covid meeting room count restrictions (ie people taking up physical space that could be used for contributing members of the team, when they could just as easily listen from their office while they play candy crush).
