Snow is fantastic. What I don't like is having to drive in it, especially while it's still coming down.

Snow.

Actually, I do like snow, but the fact that it's already snowing here makes me want to strangle a kitten.

No snow here yet! I have a bet with my son that we'll get some before my birthday though. Thats one week left then and we'll see if I win!

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I have a few at the moment. Unfortunately, most relate to my living situation (which I really need to stop complaining about. It's tedious for all involved.)

I am tired of having to go down to the basement of our building to read at night. Admittedly, no one else is usually down there, and the couches are comfortable, and no one bothers me. But I live in an apartment for a reason. So I can hang out there. Stupid roommate and his hatred of any light after 10:30.

Also, I am tired of not having access to the TV. We don't have a hookup in my room, so I can't just watch shit there, unless I watch it online. But sometimes I'd like to sit on the couch and watch a movie or TV show I've recorded without him sighing loudly or asking to watch his own shows/movies. Why does he insist on watching things live when we have a damn DVR? I still haven't seen The Walking Dead from this week. Or Chuck for the past three. FRUSTRATING.

In work news, I am currently annoyed by my boss's practice of giving me work as I am getting ready to leave. I'm happy to do more work. That's not the problem. But to spring it on me as I'm putting my coat on and shutting down my computer? Not cool.

In less serious news, I am annoyed with myself that I keep going to the local Starbucks because the guy at the counter is super cute and has nice arms. Also he smiles a lot. But I am fairly certain he's straight, so I am spending an awful lot of money to chit-chat with him daily.

Oh, mew, shredding pow is fantastic in flavors of ice cream, bird songs, and double rainbows all the way across the BEST GAME EVAR!!!

Oh mew oh mew!

I have no complaints right now. Life is good?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I got four new peeves to day...

1: Heavy smokers who sit next to you on the bus. Not only does it make me gag and cough, but it also makes me unable to fucking breath well.

2: People who say AKS instead of ASK. How hard can it be to take your time and say ask? Come on! If you say "I want to AKS you." Then Imma call the cops on your ass for wanting to axe me...

3: Not knowing your work schedule for the next week. It like, I gotta keep asking the manager when do I come in next? Tomorrow?"No" The day after" "Yes". "When?" "8 AM" "Ok..." Then its the same the next day of work...

4: People who listen to cRAP music on the public bus. I don't want to listen to the cRAP at all! It is so fucking loud the entire bus could hear it, and not everyone wants to listen to the cRAP at all! Its fucking cRAP, not music! I don't want to listen to the F word every three seconds, and then hear shit every 5 seconds. Who the fuck wants to listen to that cRAP!?!

Can't spell crap with out Rap...

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Especially in cold weather, smoke smell does tend to linger on clothing. That said, they have every right to sit next to you on a public bus. They've paid their fare just like you. If you have a problem with them being in your vicinity, the onus is on you to move, just as you would with someone who had bad breath or BO. I'm a bit stumped on why you can't "breath" near them though. Sure, the odor sucks, but unless you are covering your mouth and nose dramatically, it shouldn't impede your ability to draw air into your lungs.

So, does your manager not write down the schedule? If he can answer when you ask, why can he not show you the schedule? Maybe you need to talk to someone higher up to solve that issue.

And I'm with you on loud music of any kind on a bus. Headphones exist for a reason. That said, you're showing a considerable bias by specifically targeting rap. I get that you don't like it, but painting the entire genre with the same brush seems a bit silly.

Walthrough:

1) Wear a gas mask. Not only it will protect you from smoke and airborne germs but it will also make people think you may be planning a terrorist attack and usually run away from you. Which usually means having the entire seat row for yourself.

2) Aksannyi is to blame. Don't aks me why, it's just the way it is.

3) Welcome to retail.

4) Big Headphones are the key to success.


I hope this helps.

I have Asthma, and Smoke makes it act up, causing my lungs unable to take in as much oxygen so I can't breath that great when I am around others that smoke. I wasn't saying they didn't have a right to sit on the bus, I was just complaining about them sitting right next to me suddenly, and having my asthma act up.

No, my schedule is not yet up. I just started 3 days ago, and she keeps forgetting to make my schedule up. It should be up shortly though, so right now it is just a bit annoying.

It was rap he was listening to, so I am gonna complain about rap. If it was polka, or rock, I would complain about that. Oh, and did I mention he was using headphones? I think he is gonna go deaf, just like those people who blast their base and pull up right next to you in their car. Just waiting for their cars to fall apart...

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

If they aren't actually smoking, you aren't actually breathing smoke.

[Takelli]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

If they aren't actually smoking, you aren't actually breathing smoke.

Just the smell of it makes it act up as the thought of being around some one who smokes just makes me want to gag.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Maybe you should work on being less dramatic.

[Aeni]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Maybe you should work on being less dramatic.

Some people are born with hypersensitivity, like my daughter. Sounds and sight that may seem normal to us ends up being overly disturbing for her and at times, painful.

[Murphie]

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Some people are, yes. If that's really the case, then maybe Takelli needs to work on mitigating that issue? I'm not saying it's impossible for the smell to bother him or that as an asthmatic, that smoke is an issue. It's his presentation of the issue that I don't understand. It's someone else's fault, or whatev.

I mean, the thought of being around someone who smokes makes him gag. The thought. That's not hypersensitivity to smell, it's being dramatic.

Please don't blame me for poor language skills. If anything, blame the lolcats. But it's just insulting to blame a grammar nazi for a degradation of the English language.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

FREAKIN' LOLCATS!

How I hate (/secretly love) them!
