What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I used to bank with what is now Regions bank, and when I went to close it for moving out of the region, they apparently didn't get the memo on what a "closed account" means. They closed it once and gave me the balance of the account, but due to automatic payments that I couldn't stop for various reasons, the account went into overdraft and I was hit with $35 for each payment (not a small amount, at one point it was -350 in overage charges alone). After talking with someone at the branch, they waived all the overdraft charges, which left me with the amounts they actually paid. So, I made a deposit to get the account back to zero. A short time later, the exact same thing happened -- apparently the second 'closing' was a temporary hold on the account, which was lifted once it got back to zero. So, I had to get even more charges waived and pay off even more other charges.

Needless to say, I now have an extreme aversion to most banks, and Regions in particular. I like credit unions better anyway... I just wish there were some larger ones (think on the scale of US Bank) so I could access a branch anywhere, which will be particularly helpful if I happen to get a job out of state when I graduate.

That's the reason I left my credit union. I was with them for a very long time but when I moved down here, it was next to impossible to bank with them.

People taking their pedophobia too far.

I've recently started spending time with a friend who looks waaay younger than she is, and people always treats her like she is a 15 year old even though they know she is 23.

Maybe there should be some sort of "You need to look this damaged/wore down to enter this place." sign in places instead of the usual, you know, photo ID.

Raydeus, after a certain age, that becomes a good thing.

Not really a peeve so much as funny coincidence.

Was listening to the radio and they talked about Oprah finding out about a sister she never had.

It was a official hourly news bit, so I'm guessing someone hit a button by accident at the my station that went "Cha-ching!" right at the end.

Don't rich and famous people always find relatives they didn't know they had?

Would be more entertaining if it happened to Maury.

Or Springer.

Death.

Death.

Care to elaborate? I mean it most certainly does suck, and while I don't know any specifics here, I want to offer a /hug. If it helps.

Maybe.

But with Springer it never ends well.

No one can ever throw chairs on Oprah. They're either fixed to the floor or they have couches, which are hard to pick up and throw.

I know it's something that can't be helped, but no one said my pet peeves have to be rational.

It drives me nuts when someone near me can't stop sneezing. If I say "bless you" for the first one, I'm obligated to say it for all of them, which gets annoying as balls when someone has sneezed 20 times in the past two minutes.

For this reason, I kind of turn my iPod up and just act like I can't hear them sneezing, which seems to work. But even though I can hear them, that makes me feel somewhat bad for not saying it, but then the one fucking time I do, they sneeze a hundred million more times. Dude.

And yeah, take some fucking cold medicine.

I give a person 3. After the first two, I'll warn 'em ('careful, you've only got one more") and after that, they're on their own!
