You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

>meet someone new
>things are going well
>I might be starting to develop feelings
>"Oops, I can't keep talking to you, I'm just not in the right place emotionally for a relationship! Just didn't bother to mention it until now!"

I know I'm the common factor here, but why are half the people I try to date emotional mongoloids?

Better she says something when she realizes you want more rather than feeling like she has to carry on ignoring it while it exacerbates, to be fair. Not reciprocating your desires doesn't make someone stupid. I hope you can take that for what it is and stop feeling that way about chicks who get pushed away by unwanted romantic attention. It's not necessarily anyone's fault until the blame and anger are misplaced.

thread tax:
When the grocery store is completely out of something incredibly basic that comes in many brands and sizes, like parmesan cheese. You'd think that the supply line nonsense would be long since dealt with by now, but apparently not.

Walmart is terrible about this. Sometimes I'll go into an aisle, and just about the entire row is completely empty. How the fuck does this happen?

Blame the stupid Faggots who think Just in time works for a Dynamic Sales system like it does for a factory.
 
Google News has changed it's layout and this is the worst day of my life (besides the last time they did, besides when Drudge went cryptoliberal, and besides when Yahoo news changed it's format 10 years ago)

I just want the goddamn news, is that too much to ask?

I don't need MY DAILY BRIEFING because I'm not the fucking President of the United States.

I don't need personally curated FOR YOU news stories tailored to my interests.

I don't need algorithmically selected stories designed to get my fucking clicks.

What I want are unbiased fucking stories that are the top, most important stories in World, National, Local, Entertainment, and Science. Don't try to figure out what I'm interested in, LET ME FUCKING READ EVERY HEADLINE AND DECIDE FOR ME WHAT I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT!!
 
When I search for a png, but it gives me an image with a checkerboard background. That's not transparent!

Look at this mess.
 
The thing is, just in time does in fact work just as well for a grocery store as it does for a factory: terribly.
The problem with JIT, is that a bunch of people took a system developed by Toyota, which worked fine for Toyota's needs, and tried to generalise it without understanding what it actually did.* It works fine, as long as you're accounting for, and adapting to, weaknesses in the supply chain, rather than just arbitrarily assigning deadlines and min/max quantities for everything. It's actually always been the norm in most places, for most supply issues, but it was never formalised and systematised until relatively recently.

Take your example: A grocery store can't sit on huge piles of stock for everything it sells, because it just wouldn't have the room. Some things, sure, if they're hardy and slow, but reliable sellers, but not for everything. They have never, ever done that. Even back in the good old days, before JIT existed as a formalised concept, any place handling perishable goods would attempt to understand and anticipate demand, and order in only what was necessary to meet that demand. That's all JIT really is, in the end.

*Same with kanban, or any other software development paradigm developed on the principles toyota use for their production lines. All the adaptations took the form without understanding the function. Funny cards move on chart wheee! I could rant for hours about software developer fads...

It seems like every decade or so has its own retarded fad that wows middle management dimwits and then everyone has to waste hours every week complying with some arbitrary bullshit that contributes absolutely nothing to productivity at best, and at worst absolutely fucks up production.

Like that "nimble" bullshit. Honestly fuck anyone who inflicted that on a company with a chainsaw.

ETA: I think I meant agile. Whatever.
 
Anyone that turns their turn signal on AFTER THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED TURNING. Faggot, the whole point is to give a heads up to the people around you that you are planning to turn. If you only use it after you begin the turn, its pointless.

I would rather they just don't fucking use it at that point because at least you are being honest that you don't give a shit. But doing the bare minimum obligation is fucking infuriating.
 
When people refer to their own significant other as their "partner" in stead of their boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife.

"Significant other" is the generalized term meaning either or, as in not specifying any one person or if you don't know if said significant other is a dude or a chick or whether or not they're married; basically a "they/them" equivalent used in grammatically appropriate context. "Partner" is a copout term specifically used to virtue signal a refusal to use gendered language, specifically for someone who you damn well know what they are and where your own preferences lie. This is supposed to be the most important person in your life, not some stranger at a group tango lesson. Maybe there are some holdouts who use it to refuse to admit that they're in a homosexual relationship without denying it, but those have become rare in today's political climate. It's likely more common for these wokies to use it to avoid admitting that they're in a heterosexual relationship.

I'm not just being an autistic grammar nazi on this one; I'm bothered by this being a societal symptom. It's a symptom of woke conditioning and of people cheapening what are supposed to be the deepest connections in their lives. It's so much worse when taking into account how many people are forced to speak like this for their jobs, especially in the health care industry where the true irony for this lies.
 
YouTube ads piss me the fuck off. I just came here to listen to music, man :(.

Even worse when you're trying to play your playlist in the background when you're doing something only for the fucker to pause when you're away from it for more than a few minutes or choose the time to fucking play an eight minute or more ad like we're gonna watch all that bullshit.

There's one that is literally just like, office background noise as some big ass message is typed out on a blue screen that lasts like 10 minutes. I've never taken the time to see what it's trying to tell me cause I always get it while listening to music in my car and the screen on my phone is too small to make out what it is at a glance.

I always get about 2 minutes in before I realize what it is and get to my phone to end it.

And the ads fucking suck now! I get that all ads suck but they're not even professionally filmed commercials anymore, it's those crappy mobile store game ads that you only expect to see playing CoC or whatever.

doesn't really work for smart tvs.
This make me pissed because I have every ad blocked on my PC, but the screen is too small and I don't want to strain my neck. I REFUSE to pay the jews and ultimately let them win, and even if the solution to block ads on my smart TV would cost several hundred bucks. I would buy it as fast as it came out, because I would save that money over time anyway.

Yes, I know you can easily plug in a HDMI cable and mirror the screen. Problem is, I don't want to have a big HDMI cable laying around.
