The Complaining and Bitching Thread

Pet peeves I shared with @GeneticShift that you all might as well be subjected to:

• When people pull up to the curb facing the wrong direction on the street
• People in fitness classes that:

• Have horrible—but correctable—form​

• Consistently choose the lightest possible weights and never challenge themselves at all​

• Both​

• People, when asked to respond to a piece of correspondence in a certain way (for example, by filling out a survey or poll online), who instead hit reply all with their responses

 

Stop repeatedly correcting my grammar while I'm speaking in slang in a casual conversation.

It doesn't make you look intelligent at all. Really doesn't. Nope, it just makes you look like a pedantic prick.

...

Refrain from telling me all about your education and how much money your husband makes.

You're both flabby land manatees, in debt up to your eyeballs and been/done nothing significant with your lives.

 

Along with Plan9's mini-rant: Don't tell me your IQ, it is meaningless. What have you accomplished with it? Nothing? Then fuck off. People who have accomplished things rarely ever mention their IQ. People who mention their IQ's quite often haven't accomplished anything.

( I've accomplished little, but don't brag about it )

 

Bragging about my accomplishments in public is a requirement for keeping my job.

 

Well, it works if you have something to brag about.

 

Goddamned motherfucking Comic Sans. What the fuck.



Comic Sans is truly the Pachelbel Canon of typography, just as the Pachelbel Canon is the Comic Sans of classical music.

Son of a whore.

 

This getting old(er) stuff sucks! Even though I'm exercising and eating semi-right, I'm still tired.

EVERY.

DAMN.

DAY.

UGH

 

Have you considered less restrictive underwear?

 

Lord I know! And on a personal note - I hate people who nowadays won't return personal phone calls. Text/email doesn't always work.

 

That actually makes sense in some business contexts. I have about 200 people that think I work for them. Project managers, account execs, and the like. I report to exactly one of them. I think of it as the one person that I cannot tell to fuck off (give or take).

 

I never really paid attention to how much Comic Sans can hurt ones eyes. Until now. That sign is horrible.

I have phone phobia but I'll force myself to return a call. I rarely initiate, though.
I didn't have phone phobia prior to the tech age. Spent hours on the damn thing. So I'm going to blame voicemail, both personal and business-based.

 

Gotta dial into a meeting tonight with some folks from Japan. Can't back out 'cause it's my meeting and I'm the main presenter.

Damn time difference!

 

Dr. Dickhead is never pleased.

 

That's just so wrong, reading those back to back.
