Today's Pet Peeve

Pet peeve? In hotel bathrooms when they put the full-length mirror right across from the toilet. Not a good view. Not good, at all...
 
When you read a news article with a Video from the San Francisco Chronicle and you click on the video link from your mobile phone, being in San Francisco...

.... and the mobile Youtube says... "this video contains content not available in your country due to claims by XPDNG and GEEDI Entamainment"...

.... and you're "like"..... #FFFFFF

And then you go to the San Francisco Chronicle and the video is available :facepalm
 
When I click on a news article and it's some goddamn video. Look - I know how to read. Further, I can't just go playing videos when I'm suppose to be working....sort of gives away the fact that I'm screwing off...

Actually, I think I look pretty cool taking a dump.

How about the very religious talking to YOU like you're the stupid one. "I'm going to heaven". "You've got Satan in you". OK, pass the salt, please.

Well, you know that 10% of your money you give to that guy with the Mercedes that knows all? I buy dope with mine.
 
News articles that only link to vids. No text story at all. and all the video's blocked by firewalls.

same goes for large companies that have to host all their product info as vids on youtube. Invest in your own gorram infrastructure!

speaking of not investing in your own infrastructure, I'd like to add "companies" like some limo outfits and many landscapers/plumbers/contractors who have their employees take all the vehicles home and clog up street parking because the companies don't want to invest in a place to park their own rigs, passing more expense onto everyone in the neighborhood. Gotta love telling my Mom she has to walk 5 blocks because one neighbor parks his Caddy limo taking three spots and the construction contractor stashes his two work vans out front as soon as people leave for work. Anyone not home by 5:15 is pretty much boned, and on weekends, none of the "business" rigs move. It's not as if these were their only vehicles, they have their two or three personal rigs per family out on the street as well. This just from my 6 unit building, not counting the other apartments up and down the street.

quoting Walter: "pisses me off!"

"The Cloud"

No need to be able to burst into the cloud when you have more than enough horse power to run things for the next 10 years.

an addendum:

marketing. and using the term "the cloud" to include your own NAS.

So in other words, getting chumps to shell out more money for what you already have, doing exactly what you already do, but with a different name.
 
Those fugging autodialers that call my work... and then it's some shitty automated message.

I am irritated by people who call back after you tell them they have the wrong number and then they get grumpy at me.

Choke on a bag, fuck stick. You're the one who doesn't have the right number and/or is fat fingering their phone. :x
 
Motorcycle "Parts" stores not carrying simple items.

What happened to Cycle Gear?

I can't find a freakin wind screen in the bay area to save my life (or track day as the case may be)
 
People who fuck up driving badly (e.g., completely changing lanes into me so that I have to violently swerve out of the way) and when you honk because they obviously DIDN'T SEE YOU they give you a nasty look like you're the jerk in the situation. FU! Learn to drive shithead!
 
This crap has been happenning to me a lot lately...

I'm caging it, doing 70 or whatever in the right lane, cruise control on. Buttplug in the left lane is creeping up on me. Buttplug pulls directly next to me (or sometimes in my blind spot) and parks it there. I look over and buttplug is staring straight ahead, mouth agape, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that they're cruising side by side with me, eliminating an escape route and potentially clogging up the fucking freeway. :RAGESMILEY
 
Just got back from the Los Gatos DMV, registered the new gsxr, and while I was waiting there was an older 80+ year old woman with a walker trying to renew her DL. The lady had her do the eye test and the old lady was cought cheating the eye test several times! The DMV lady said now close 1 eye and read..., The old lady put one hand over an eye and proceeded to slide it sideways until she could see out of both eyes. SHe did this 3x and the DMV lady kept saying, No you need to cover 1 eye. The old lady said I am, DMV lady said no your looking through both, then the Old lady got all crazy and said she was not cheating... blaa blaa blaa. What pissed me off is it was clear that the old lady couldnt see for shit, the DMV lady kept giving her chances and she kept looking through both eyes. Im not sure of the outcome as my ticket was called but I sure as hell hope they did not renue her DL. Its old people like this that know its unsafe for them to drive but they do it anyway. My mother in law drove way past her days and finally drove through a Salvation Army wall because she hit the gas and not the brake. I give her rides all over because Im glad shes off the streets and not killing somebody. Ole people need to give it up before they kill somebody! ~Insert VENTING here!

You curse like I curse!

I'm gonna say, people who can't read the fucking product description and raise a stink when they get what they ordered can choke.

MORANS.
 
I don't know if this is a pet peeve or something I just don't get. Why do people use "glass" instead of "lens" or "scope"? I could see if it were easier to say or had less syllables but it isn't and doesn't.

A guy at work was telling a story about snowmobiles, and he started with snowmobile and quickly transitioned to using "sled". It sounded douche to me, but it was easier to say "sled" than snowmobile.
