Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

If your automated system is going to take two minutes of my time to tell me that I can check my account balance online at suchandsuch website .com, you'd better make sure that when I go there, the site actually works.

This is not the first time I've had to call about my balance after having found that the website was "temporarily unavailable."

People who don't know how to use the fucking stairs at train stations. Seriously, you stick to the left so people who are in a hurry can pass out without trouble. You don't walk up the middle of the stairs at paralytic octogenarian mile per hour, talking loudly on your phone and hold up every single person trying to get up or down the stairs miss their train.

Also people who take kids onto the quiet car and let them scream all the fucking time. Seriously, why the fuck are you in the quiet car with a kid? Go into another car. Just because you didn't make some deadbeat put something on the end of it doesn't mean you have to make commuters suffer as well.

And people who stand outside of train doors, usually with bags. There is a yellow line on the platform for a fucking reason. It's there so people getting off the trains don't break their ankles or legs getting off the train and stepping on your bags. You stand back with the bags, you don't wait until the inevitable happens and scream at the person laying on the floor with a broken ankle then yell at them MORE when the other people getting off the train tramples them.

That guy ended up in the fucking hospital and this stupid woman was still bitching about a broken shampoo bottle or something. She didn't even call an ambulance, I had to and miss my lecture making sure this guy got there safely.

How To Tell if you Live in the Ghetto:

#27:
When wandering through your local grocery store, several remnants of what one could assume to be chicken wings are strategically hidden by some lazy fuckwad who is seemingly incapable of locating and/or using a trash can.

Fucking.
Disgusting.

You spend huge amounts of time bitching about everything and everyone around you, blaming your problems on circumstance and everyone but yourself.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

You can't get a virus from adding someone anyway. That person might look on your profile and steal your information and sign you up for a bunch of spam mail, but simply adding someone is not going to give you a virus. Nor is it going to infect your friends.

So I did what any friend would do, I posted the snopes link and told her it was a hoax. snopes.com: Social Media Warning

Adding somebody is not automatically going to give you a virus. How about they just stop clicking every link that comes their way?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

But yeah, if you have any doubts at all, you should err on the side of NOT ADDING STRANGERS.

Today's pet peeve is working on a Sunday. Arg. It's a shame I don't get paid overtime.

My mother is one of those types who clicks everything that comes her way.

- CLICK HERE for a cute kitty video!
- CLICK HERE! You're the 100,000,001 visitor of this website and can get a coupon for a free TV!
- CLICK HERE for a funny joke about Canadians!

It's like every month there is something wrong with her computer. I've just given up.

No Dak, the goal is to get these people's computers fouled up to the point where they can no longer use them.

I have no love for the computer illiterate when they insist on using computers anyway.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I have a cousin whose computers have an average life expectancy of about a month before I have to go though this same process:

1) Go over there
2) Look at it
3) Yell at it for a bit
4) Find out just what the fuck she clicked on
5) Find out that her computer is infected with
6) Find out what else the computer is infected with
7) Sigh and reformat the hard drive to save myself time.
8) Find out I don't have a Windows disc.
9) End up having to shell out for a new copy of windows
10) Get a call two weeks later from my aunt saying that my cousin lost the disc
11) Quietly weep in the corner
