What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

the concept of reproduction would, therefore, be absolutely out of the question for the both of them.

Well, maybe not both of us.

Still, in the unlikely scenario Feba thinks "Hey, I should rear something", he'd adopt, because he just plain cares about others more than you.

You do know that you are saying this to Feba, right?

It's like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory. Sure, even if against all odds somebody finds the perfect girl for him, the concept of reproduction would, therefore, be absolutely out of the question for the both of them.

They did find a woman for Sheldon...

I know. And it would be antithetical for either of them to reproduce.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Work related peeves, because we had a large volume of mail today and I've gotta get it off my chest.

Now, I work in a large mail room and we get tens of thousands of pieces on an average day, today we had well into the 120k range. And basically, we send out huge mailings, then we get the response mail, which comes back in our Business Reply Envelopes (BREs) within a few weeks on average. Naturally our volumes fluctuate but I digress.

My mailings pet peeves:

1. People who use our BREs to mail something to any other place on the planet but us, trying to use our postage to mail some other bill, or some piece of personal mail. People, it doesn't fucking work that way. Even if you cover up our PO Box address and our permit number, the bar code on the bottom is still going to bring it right to us. And if you cover that up, your mail is going to be returned to you for lack of postage.
   
   Don't try to cheat the fucking system. Not only am I going to curse you for being a fucking retard, I have to address another envelope to you and send the entire thing right on back to you, and that's just more fucking work I don't wanna do.
   
2. People who want us to stop sending them mail, but don't give us any information about who the fuck they are.
   
   This drives me fucking insane.
   
   Our BREs do not have any special codes based on who we sent them to. They come in a box. A big box. They're all alike. They get stuffed one by one into envelopes. There's nothing differentiating the one we sent to Mrs. Smith in California from the one we sent to Mr. Johnson in Oklahoma. That being said, if you want the company to take your name off our mailing list, you have to tell us who the fuck you are. And don't be an idiot. If your name is Jane Smith, there's probably thousands of others named Jane Smith and we don't have any fucking clue which one you are. You need to give us your name and address, or else I'm tossing your request in the trash. Harsh? There's nothing I can do with it if you don't tell me who you are.
   
   I'm serious, I roll my eyes every day at some idiot who sends me a sticky note (yes, a fucking sticky note) in an envelope and says, "This is the 3rd time I've asked you to take me off your list!" Well, dipshit, you're gonna have to keep asking until you figure out that we don't know who the fuck you are.
   
   This goes double for the people who ask to be taken off our list but send us back our forms with their names either cut or blacked out. Yeah, there's nothing I can do with that, either.
   
3. The people who don't write back any sort of response to our solicitation, but feel the need to preach. Usually something like, "I'm not interested, but here's a special gift for you. Do you know that Jesus is our Lord and Savior..."
   
   Into the trash. I have a religion, I don't need yours. Stop wasting my time with that shit.
   
4. The shredded mail. Just love opening up an envelope and having tiny pieces of paper end up everywhere. Thanks.
   
5. The "I'm against your company for XYZ reason, but actually that reason has nothing to do with this company in the slightest and I'm a complete fucking moron." I'm intentionally vague here, but for example, we deal with seniors, and I got a piece of mail that had, "Since you pay for abortions, I'm against your company."
   
   What? Yeah, I'm sure seniors are getting abortions in droves. Idiot.
   
6. People who are responding to the offer who tape or staple the hell out of something ONTO THE FORM ... really? I mean seriously, REALLY!?! You know this crap goes through a scanner, right? And that I have to pull off all the tape and staples? And you put it in an envelope. You sealed the envelope. Your check is going to stay put, I promise.
   
7. People who send back the form filled out, but only half of the form. The top half has the address (we need that) and the bottom half has the signature block (we need that, too!) Just because you're only filling out the spouse section, doesn't mean we don't need the rest of the form.
   
8. People who send cash.

That just about covers it. I was in a shitty mood from a bad commute (that's another peeve, but really, cutting me off at 75 to go 55, necessary? Of fucking course not) and a bunch of other shit, and opening mail was just not something I was in the mood for this morning.

However, one thing I love is the people who send us porn. We show it to everyone in the department and share all of the interesting shit we get. We get the pamphlets for buying vibrators and we get the hardcore assfucking shit, and we even got some 3D porn the other day. I fucking love getting the porn. It actually makes the day a little brighter.

Unfortunately, adding to my rage this morning, I did not get any porn.

People who insist on wearing their shoes in the house, track detritus all through the kitchen and then refuse to do anything about cleaning it up.

AMEN! My husband wears a prothesis (leg) and insists it's too much work to take his shoes off and on. Now, at first, it was because he didn't have a place to sit in the mudrrom, so I solved that. Then it was because he didn't have one of those extended shoe horns for the handicapped, so I solved that. Then it was because the shoe horn wasn't metal, so I solved that! In the end, I made sure he had no excuses and the only compromise we came to was that he would take them off if he walked through snow; so he wouldn't track that through the house. (So in other words, once in a blue moon!) I just love sitting in my living room and smelling dog crap, and when I tell him to check his shoes, he'll say " Yep, dog shits on them....God Damn it Ladybug!!" Yep, he yells at the dog...

Unfortunately, I didn't have any 3D glasses to view said porn, so it was kind of blurry. :/

Tedious Achievements/Trophies!

For those who dont understand what I am talking about, here is an example of each.

Difficult Achievement/Trophy: Dead Space's go through the entire game using only the default plasma gun.

Tedious Achievement/Trophy: Far Cry 2's get to level 30. That will take 2,500,000 xp. The most I have ever seen one player get was 350 xp for one match but he had 44 kills, 4 heals, and the xp bonus for being on the winning team. Most players get 15-25 kills per match and around 2-3 heals.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

A relationship that is unfortunately long distance for the moment, with the only thing stopping it being that her parents do not want me to go see her under the assumption that I'm just out for sex or something to that extent. I'm going to play the loser card here and come out and say that I've never had sex, nor do I really care much about it at this point. I just want to see her, and they're making it very difficult.

I can see her August 31, but also happens to be when both of us start our college semesters again.

(I live in Southern Alberta, Canada, she's from South California.)

Wanting to clean, but there's nowhere to put the trash.


Blargh.

Then just don't bother trying to get them. Why not play the game for the fun, and not play the game for the trophies. I remember when they where played for fun, not for the trophies, or even Epeen.
