This fuckin asshole.



I think he's on a few channels, but this is the only one I care to look for right now. He's got all kinds of interesting-looking videos, including this one that I was tricked into watching, thinking that a video about the Pan-American Highway might show some interesting clips, or at least still shots, of various points along the trip. The video is almost 22 minutes long, and a total of about 40 seconds is actual images of the route. The rest is a shot of his face talking about the highway. He's an asshole, and I hate him.

You can tell the good youtubers from the wannabes by whether or not they have actual sponsors, or just have a /shitty-product-referral-link as their "sponsor".

Isn’t Skype and Teams the same shit different front end interface?

My pet peeve for the week, people who think that blowing all the leaves off their lawn onto the street is accomplishing anything.

If you aren’t going to get rid of the leaves why bother blowing them around at all.

Maybe they just want to peeve you. They're peeving Toms.

The headache I get from reading patents, and preparing cease and desist letters.

Direct Energy Regulated Services for asking every time if I want to use that credit card they have saved on file to pay my current bill.
That card has been dead for 8 years.
No option to wipe off that card from my file.

When someone uses the word immunity in the Covid thread, and you want to post the lethal weapon GIF, and it turns out it needs to be a series of three gifs to have the whole scene, and you find them, but when you try to post them they are in an invalid format. So all the joy is drained from the moment.
Fuck.

I would! But it's an automated system!

people who take conference calls and are doing dishes at the same time. For fucks sake if you haven't figured out how to mute your mic by this stage, you should probably be fired for incompetence.

At a drive-thru, when a person gets their order, and proceeds to drive 5' ahead, then stops and rifles through their food to check that their order is right.

Everyone behind them had now moved forward, so there's zero chance of them backing up if the order is wrong, and they are only preventing the next person from getting their food.

Yeah, I have a guy on our team like that. He was running taps, humming, chewing, etc. When he burped into his mic loud enough I could taste it, I had to finally call him out on it. And this was just a couple weeks ago.

Every single fucking website on the god damn internet with the cookie disclaimer. Fuck whatever law made this a standard thing. I wouldn’t mind that much if it “remembered” that I previously accepted, but seems like I have to click the OK/Agree button every time I visit certain websites

Some idiot let out a loud burp on a call with hundreds of people, during the middle of some material being delivered by one of our managing partners. Just can’t fix stupid.

I have a new pet peeve. My work laptop has something wrong with the built-in microphone, so if I'm not using headphones, nobody can hear me. Figured that out as I was trying to present to my bosses on a day my headphones were not in the same building. FML.

Did you try burping?

I use a jabra speaker mike combo for my laptop. Also has bluetooth for my phone and a button to answer calls as well as skype / teams call. Basically a nice hub for all types of calls. Much better microphone and speaker compared to the laptop as well

#MeToo. It's the tits.

Do you find that sometimes the mute button on Teams doesn't activate the red "mute lights" on the Jabra while the mute button on the Jabra does? But only sometimes??
