Pet peeves

[GirlinContempt]

Messy coders that I have to clean up after before I can even start working.

1. ...

:scared: That's just scary! I never saw anything like that ... thank goodness!

[GirlinContempt]

2. Yeah. Scary and messy and impossible.

You try finding rejected strings.
HAH

[AirmensMom]

3. No thanks.

I'm not into it anymore. :D

But I always wrote extremely neat code and most of my coworkers did likewise. I guess we were lucky.

Good luck reading through the mess! :hug:

4. Clutter

One of my roommates in college was the queen of clutter and she would just leave books and clothes strewn all about her side of the room, and since it was on her side of the room, I really couldn't complain (I think she did it on purpose) but you could see the clear line of demarcation between her side and mine

[GirlinContempt]

13. So you hate me?

:P

[Reverend_Smitty]

15. If you keep your mess to your side of the room we won't have a problem...

Hey my college roommate and I are still good friends :P

5. People that don't realize elevators aren't express rides

Sometimes they stop before your destination so people on other floors can get on it. Don't walk out of the elevator whenever the doors open and then look lost and confused, although it is kind of amusing.

[redqueen]

7. Related to yours... people who don't wait for others to exit

before barging into the elevator.

Isn't there a commonly-understood rule about yielding to exiting passengers first? Seems logical enough to me...

[taterguy]

8. People that dumb and/or inconsiderate don't respond to logic

Maybe you don't understand that the universe revolves around them. Their destination is more important than yours.

[redqueen]

10. hahahahaha

How could I be so dumb?

Thank you, I understand completely now.

9. On the subway, too.

It's like "Dude, let me the fuck OFF the subway and then you will have more room when you get ON!"

[AlCzervik]

6. when someone calls my house and says "who's this" after i say hello.

"you called me so you should know who this is but just for fun i'm hanging up on you"

[GirlinContempt]

14. That is annoying

[ohiosmith]

11. I had a pet peeve when I was six or seven. I named it Parsifal. It escaped while I was

cleaning it's cage. I would see it every now and then in the oleanders but could never catch it. I miss Parsifal to this day.

[uppityperson]

18. I think it may be hanging out with Oscar these days, perhaps.

[judaspriestess]

12. Litter bugs

I HATE, HATE, HATE litter bugs. It blows my mind how someone can just dump trash anywhere. Litter bugs are trashy people.

[Shell Beau]

16. Wrinkles in clothes, any piece of dirt on my white ceramic floors

(yes, I sweep like crazy every day with 3 dogs and all), and I hate to get into an un-made bed. I like my sheets tight.

[Chan790]

17. People who ask stupid things...

por ejemplo: The guy who when I told him that the chocolates were $0.55 each asked if he could have 1/2 of one since he only had a quarter.

and

The guy who asked whether we minded if he smoked pot in our parking lot.

also

The woman who wanted to know if there were any espresso shots in her cup of brewed tea.

the answer to all three questions is "no" provided in the second case I don't know about it.

19. I used to work at Arby's

We would have $5 for $5.95 roast beef clearly readable on the big lighted sign at the end of the driveway.

I'd be completely alone in the drive-thru on a Friday night with cars wrapped around the building.

And some stupid functionally illiterate person would drive up to the speaker and take ten minutes to say, "Do....ya'll....have....that.....five.....for....five thing.....deal?"

And the one in my hometown that I worked at during college had a speaker, not headsets. So - I'd be standing at the speaker waiting for the stupid person to finish, all the while needing to put fries down and bag orders and make drinks.

I eventually kicked a hole in the drive-thru wall.

[Chan790]

20. Filed under "Why I'm glad my *$'s doesn't have a drive-thru."

I'd seriously punt my headset with some of the questions I get daily.

[mainegreen]

21. Um, do the coders you work with do crank or something?

Because I've met messy coders but I've NEVER seen anything like that other than perhaps javascript after it's been through some obfuscation!

:rofl:

Soooo sorry. That must suck!

[GirlinContempt]

25. I think maybe

[Kali]

22. Snowbirds.

Goddamn slow driving, penny pinching, giganto-housetrailer-driving IDIOTS that fill my part of the state for 6 months of the year. Get out of my grocery store - the town built you a walmart - go over there and wander through the aisles looking for your damn metamucil.

[femmocrat]

23. Overheated classrooms.

Why, does it have to be stifling hot in schools? The kids are all wearing sweatshirts and boots, for crying out loud, and I'm running around in a sleeveless top. I wonder how many mils of tax money we could save by just....TURNING DOWN THE HEAT!!! :grr:

[GoneOffShore]

24. "How do I become an actor?"

We get these calls about three times a week.

Would they call a lawyer's office and say, "How do become a lawyer?" Or a doctor, "How do I become a doctor?"

Sheesh!!


What they're really asking is, "How do I get to be famous?"

Celebrity, a hideous swelling.
