I have a saying I tell my boyfriend
"The only thing worse than getting your period is not getting your period."

People who turn up at your work 5 minutes before you close and expect service. Especially when they say
Well you're still open aren't you ?

I got that all the time at my old job. I worked at a Taco Bell, and you'd always get some jackass wanting to sit down and eat.

Thankfully, most of my managers were cool with me inconveniencing customers who stayed past closing time. I'd just start mopping and making a lot of noise, or wiping down tables around them, or just leaning on the mop and watching them from across the room, if they didn't get the hint.

It's the opposite for me. I manage a warehouse and I usually let my minions knock off a bit early and close up myself so last minute couriers/customers frequently get told to GTFO.
They're learning though.
 
My least favorite thing people do is when they occupy space improperly, by which I mean they have absolutely no fucking clue of how not to get in the way of everyone around them when it's not even crowded. It's like a scaled up version of the square peg - round hole thing, except instead of a peg it's four dudes walking shoulder to shoulder down a sidewalk that can barely fit two of them and they get pissy if you don't get out of their way.
 
When you're having dinner with a friend or whatever, and they start using their cellphone during the dinner. Not for anything urgent, just to check facebook or twitter or whatever. It excludes the other person and makes them feel like they're not wanted there, and it's just generally a really rude thing to do. It's probably among my biggest pet peeves.

Oh, that's always been a big one for me. It's just so inconsiderate of people to do that in the middle of a meal, especially when you haven't seen them in like, a year, and first thing they do is ignore your conversation.
 
I gave it some thought and the thing that totally grinds my gears are commercials for products that are only there the rip you off. Mostly they're get rich quick schemes and (I use this term very loosely) "health supplements" that are "free" but with high shipping cost and sign you up to be billed every month. I don't know what it is about them but just the fact they are knowingly scamming people and no one does anything about it annoys me to all end. Here's a quick list of the ones I remember in no particular order.

Ageless Male Testosterone Supplement
Winning In The Cash Flow Business
Okinawa Life
Clear Tv Digital HD Antenna

These commercials can just fuck right off. Their ads are annoying and on all the time where I live not to mention they're all just scams.
 
Politics, the welfare state, people who want to ban guns, people with entitlement issues, and irritable bowl syndrome. Also the fact that my mom and step-dad don't think I need to sleep during the day despite the fact that I work the zombie shift.

I feel your pain. I work nights too. Granted I have my own place but it's an apartment complex so there are a few days a week where I just want to start murdering the lawn care guys. Especially the leaf blower guys. :twisted:

Gotta agree with this. when I worked nights I came very close to brutally slaughtering unemployed alcoholic neighbours.
 
I've really chilled out in recent years. I used to be the living embodiment of overly irritable asshole who'd flip out over the dumbest shit.

Lately I've been consuming vidya gaem lessplayz, and my little peeves are:

- the difficulty of finding an lper of a game I'm interested in, that is NOT an overly chatty...I'll refrain from using the word that best describes them. Bascially, loud, unfunny, overly chatty, usually an obnoxious weeaboo, and the biggest thing of all: They absolutely have to fill every single second with gutteral/whiny noises at the very least, or redundant bullshit for the most part. Especially with horror games. "oh god oh god oh god please don't see me don't see me, go away holy shit aaaghhgh eeeee arghghsjfas". Yeah, we get it. don't need to hear it 7000 bajillion more times.

(This is a really stupid peeve)

- When I've satiated all of my dog's needs, but he won't stop following me everywhere, then whining and barking and trying to jump on me.

People who grunt and slam their weights at the gym. I was on the treadmill Tuesday and someone slammed a barbell full of weights behind me. It scared the crap out of me and I nearly fell off the treadmill.
 
Karen Traviss and her hard-on for Mandalorians. You know what? Let's add in people who insist Boba Fett is badass as well. I just don't get it, what's so badass about a guy who leaps into lightsaber range and gets beaten by a blind man with a stick?

This defense of the status quo in fantasy:

"You explain magic... and it ceases to be magic. You rob it of wonder. You explain the trick and it becomes that much less special," and "The study of genetics, the exploration of the microbial, that's all too advanced for a fantasy setting", and "though honestly, the more science is developed, the more idealistic the general world will be."

It's anything but idealistic. Or, rather, ideals would be the scapegoat for all manner of degeneracy. Perhaps this group hasn't taken a look at today's social climate.
 
I think all comments show up on your google+ page or something.

People who don't understand how fucking hard it is to find work today. Especially If you live in the boonies and have to drive an hour to get anywhere.

The new Youtube comment system.
Click to expand...

I figured it looked different, but what does it actually change?
Click to expand...

1) No character limit. ASCII penises and entire film scripts abound. Also you can now post links in comments and I don't have to explain why that's bad lol.

2) Major Google+ integration. Google+ stuff shows up on your Youtube account and vice-versa. Having a Google+ account mandatory to do anything comment-related, even for content creators. This means you must either abandon your anonymity or create a fake Google+ account name. This change has made a lot of people concerned with their privacy.

3) "Top Comments" by default - prioritizes old comments from people Google thinks you want to see (popular users with 50000 subscribers) over newest comments. This is changeable, but you have to change it every time because it's on by default.

4) Replies to comments all appear on sort of a threadish thing. This isn't a bad idea, but I preferred using the "show reply" button.

5) Someone being replied to can delete comments. Big focus on comment censorship overall.

It goes without saying Google sees positive feedback from the 6 people who use G+ and pat themselves on the back for this. Meanwhile the 70k people petitioning to reverse the changes and the 30k dislikes on the video introducing the new system are "just trolls" (they're seriously calling the majority of their users trolls).

I know what you are gonna say, "PrimeCut must have been one of those guys who hated the new channel layout." You'd be wrong. The new channel layout made very little real changes beyond the aesthetic. I'm one of those few people left who don't care for social networking. I deleted my Facebook and I don't use Twitter, Instagram or any of that shit, and even if I did, I want them and Youtube to be separate. Youtube felt like one of the last places I could hang around (besides places like this) and I hate seeing it turn into this.
