What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Because when it's too cold I can put on a sweater, but when it's too hot I can't exactly fix the problem by stripping off layers of flesh because I'll end up hitting bone before I'm comfortable again.

I fucking hate warm weather. It is the worst.

I like warm weather, it's humidity that I hate since:

1. Allergies. When pollen sticks to everything it drives me nuts.
2. Sweat. Just walking a short distance outdoors means you are plastered with sweat because it just doesn't evaporate, it clings to you and makes you stink and feel terrible.
3. No matter what you do you can't get comfortable and it is simply not possible to sleep at night because of this and the above two points.
4. Shorts. The pockets on those things suck and it is ridiculously easy to get pickpocketed while wearing them because the pockets are so shallow. You're so used to things falling out that you don't notice things getting stolen.
5. Humidifiers. If the day actually IS dry (very rare in the UK), I can't visit friends and family members with asthma because of these.

See, that does not work for me. I can't get enough layers on my body. I used to put on three sweaters and the electric blanket up north and still not be warm enough.

And when people come into my room at work and adjust the temperature when I'm the only person that works in there - that's fucked up. I was comfortable, I'm the one that's gonna be in here all day, why are you dicking with it?

Physics says otherwise. You're just crazy like all the other people who like warm weather.

Been arguing with someone Indian guy on BT Tech Support for an hour on the fifth day in a row to try and get my IP Profile reset because it's currently stuck at dial up speed since Tuesday.

Considering I very rarely can remain warm, there's probably something physically wrong with me, but it's not worth going to the doctor over. Since I can regulate my temperature in my own world 95% of the time, I don't let it get to me too much. It's when I have no control over the temperature that things may get hairy. When I worked with Boss Lady I was always freezing. She would keep the temperature so fucking low. I would put on two sweaters and if I didn't have to type constantly, I would have worn gloves.

I can't handle cold. This is among the reasons I moved to Florida. I don't need to spend hundreds on energy to heat my home like I did up north.

You don't spend hundreds heating your house, but everyone else is spending hundreds to keep cool. You're wired wrong, but at least you're in a place where you can benefit from it I guess.

All women are cold. They keep their ovens pre-heated at all times, so the rest of the house has to suffer.

Come on, Dak. I'm sure she hasn't had anything in her oven in a very long time.

Well if by oven you mean womb (as in the proverbial bun in the oven), then that is quite the case. I use birth control to prevent that from happening.

If you were referring to my sex life, well that's healthy enough, I suppose. I could go for more of it, but who couldn't, amirite?

In other news, that feeling you get when a burp turns into a bit of vomit ... yuck. What the hell did I eat.

Clearly you ate vomit.

Get a call from the Captain about 20 minutes after I get home, he's all surprised because I was home so early - I'm like bitch, don't you know I go in generally from 0700 to 1500 and I try daily to leave as close to that as possible (but it has never fucking happened, not once yet, salary sucks...) - so he informs me that the coverage we were prepping for that was supposed to start maybe next week or the week after is starting tonight.

Four Officers, 24/7, one site. That's really fucking difficult to swing with our current manpower, and I fucking told them that ... we have been hiring but we're not there yet.

Regardless, I realize I'm going to have to get dressed again and go back in (because goddammit, I was sitting around in my underwear checking out tumblr). So I get dressed and get back to work (thank god I only live 10 minutes away now), spend an extra two and a half hours making sure to get tonight and tomorrow morning covered which involves moving so many people and even getting people from the Tampa area to work in Orlando (which is an ordeal for some reason, even though it's just an hour away in good traffic), so I finally get home and get working on my science homework, take a quick break to keep up with e-mails because I never know what kind of schedule bullshit is going to be thrown at me even in the middle of the night and I see an e-mail saying that ALL OF THE NEW COVERAGE CAN STAND DOWN AND IT IS BEING CANCELED.

The amount of rage I have building up within me right now would probably be impressive, if rage were actually quantifiable.

This is why you should just turn off your phone when you leave work.
