What's your pet peeve in RL?

Got a new mouse - funny how follow-up with a boss on CC works.

You know, I don't ask for a lot. I come to work and do my job every day, and I'm by no means one of those annoying people who can't run a computer to save her life and needs her hand held every day by the IT people (and I do have to wonder what those people are even doing here), so when I ask for a fucking new mouse because the one I have is on the brink of death, I don't think it's so much to ask that they fucking bring me one. I'll even hook it up myself.

Emailed the guy on Thursday, and just sent a follow up e-mail today, with his boss tagged on it. Don't fucking ignore people, it's rude. I get that you're busy but my complaint is just as valid as anyone else's, and I absolutely will not be able to do my job when this mouse does die. It will literally take less than two minutes.

Why can't you walk up to him and ask for a mouse in person?

Because that's not the procedure for doing IT requests here.

Maybe that's why things don't get done?

Possibly, but I don't make the rules. Besides, those guys can be really ornery if you interrupt them for any reason.

They're nerds and you're female. You need to knock down their ABC block castle of misogyny.

Was rinsing out the garbage can and there was a nest of maggots at the bottom. That's not what I want to see on a hot afternoon!

Raccoons. Tired of them raiding my trashcan. Even tried a cinder block, I think they're conspiring against me.

funny, we've been seeing this 1 racoon around here and the SOB is massive - almost a meter long. damn thing looks more like a badger honestly.

The cat's none too pleased about it either since we haven't been letting him out past 6 or 7 anymore just in case. There's been a number of "missing" cat posters lately and we suspect that giant racoon may have something to do with it.

We do have a skunk that wanders around the house. I've fed it some cabbage and it let me pet it while it ate. It was rather...awkward. But it was a first time I got to pet a skunk and not be sprayed. He comes around usually on Thursdays...I've seen it run around with it's children at night time when I'm cleaning the fire pit.

Minor pet peeve, when someone stuffs shit in my fridge, I go to open it and an avalanche of food just comes tumbling down.

There's some sort of neighborhood block party going on up the street. Now I have to listen to their awful live music all day.

You don't have noise cancelling headphones?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

No I do not.

Thankfully they've stopped the live bands. Now they're just firing mortars and/or bottle rockets, which is fine.
