Today's #TechSupport #PetPeeve: when you describe in your bug report exactly what is going wrong, in excruciating detail, with all the steps necessary to reproduce the problem, and the rep responds, "Please send a screenshot or video recording demonstrating the problem." No, fuck you.
(This is doubly offensive when the problem you're reporting is that something is supposed to happen but isn't. How the fuck are you supposed to take a screenshot of nothing? 😡) -
One thing that has always bugged me about #StarTrek is their insistence upon displaying space maps in two dimensions. They can recreate entire worlds in the holosuite down to the smallest detail, yet they can't use a 3D holographic display for their maps of three dimensional space? #petpeeve #scifi #TV

#PetPeeve number 5124: regularly receiving snail mail for people who used to leave here, people who died decades ago, and people I've never even heard of.

"ThE oNLy tImE I cOuLd fiNd tO mEeT wAs dUriNg LuNcH!"
No. You did NOT find time to meet during lunch, because everyone has it blocked on their calendars. You just took it anyway, because you felt your convenience was more important than your team's biological necessity.
-
#PetPeeve number 8812: websites that inexplicably fail, or claim a "mysterious error" has occurred, just because they're against consumers using VPNs - even though every Internet user should.
-
#PetPeeve number 605: people who post "I'm moving in two days, need to rehome my cat."
There are never enough homes for all the cats that need them. It could easily take months to find a new home for your furry family member. You knew months and months ahead of time that you were moving. You shouldn't wait until the last minute to start worrying about whether your pet will end up on the street or not! -
#PetPeeve 5544: people who jaywalk across 6 lanes of moving traffic, 20 feet away from a crosswalk.

You do not have to know Latin to know that words ending in "A" are usually the plural of words ending in "UM". 🙄

Niche #Jewstodon #PetPeeve content…
If you're going to include the full Monday/Thursday תחנון in your שחרית service, then for the love of G-d, give people enough time to say all the words.
If you don't think it's important enough to do that, then be honest about what you're doing and skip תחנון.
Signed,

Virtue signaling is a real thing, but 100% of what right wingers and neoliberals call "virtue signaling" is not virtue signaling at all.

I know I've asked this many times before, but why wish happy birthday to someone who is dead? They can't hear you. They can't have a happy birthday. They can't have a sad birthday. All emotion and thought is non-existent now. They're gone.

Dass man in Deutschland lieber AntiHi als AntiFa ist, schreiben hier ja schon genügend Leute, daher von mir aus gegebenem Anlass nur der Hinweis: "Gedenken" immer mit Genitiv!!!

#petpeeve Speisekarten, die wirklich alles alles alles mit einem Adjektiv versehen müssen... Unter cremigem Joghurt, knusprigem Müsli und würziger Sauce machen sie es nicht.

I know it's a stupid pet peeve.
But I am so sick of current internet slang. The two worst offenders are "We're cooked" and "The math ain't mathin'."
Use your words, people. I beg of you.

Let a lady with an off leash dog pass me on the trail earlier, and just now she passed me going back: she’s leashed the dog to her waist now but is loudly carrying on a FaceTime call as she walks. Very few people can manage to be BOTH my least favorite park-sharers in one day! Astonishing!

Dear English speakers (especially Americans);
There are no countries named eye-rack 👁️🎾 or eye-ran 👁️🏃♂️
They're pronounced more like e-rock and e-ron. Neither is difficult to pronounce. Stop being deliberately ignorant, disrespectful asses.

Ah, the never-ending, ear-splitting screeching of unsupervised children in the neighbour's backyard.
I can't wait until I'm old enough to not be able to hear that frequency any more.

A thing that would make me happy is if fedizens could stop using the wrong person.
I would love it if people could use first person (I) when talking about themselves and second person (you) only when talking about a specific other person.
Too much omniscient pov and too much giving the world advice that they actually need for themselves.
Oh well... -
-
The number of people who pronounce "camouflage" as "camel-flage" is too damned high.

My brain melts whenever I read signposting meta-text in a research article adhering to the standard IMRaD structure. I get using it with an unconventional structure, but oh boy, do I want to throw a paper into the bin when I read:
"In the Data and Methodology section, we describe the data and methodology we use in this work".
You don't say? I would have never guessed!

Hugest recent peeve: Why can't YouTube Shorts have timestamps?! Why? Creators are posting timely videos where the day and possibly the time it was posted matters.
-
There is a special place in hell for everyone involved in designing, producing, and selling toilet paper that is so narrow that you can't wipe your ass without getting shit on your hand. 😡

For the love of God, please don't say "24 business hours" when what you actually mean is "one business day."
"24 business hours" is three business days, you idiots.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
