Random Pet Peeves..

Leaf blowers.

What the fuck do they actually accomplish? Besides deafness in users of commercial leaf blowers and increases in allergy symptoms and asthma.

You want to clear the sidewalk or driveway? Try sweeping the shit up instead of blowing it into the street and in my fucking windows in the process.

Having a husband who reads my FB posts. "Ummm... what Frost Wyrm are you waiting to get? When did you buy that?"

The way Southeast Asians and Gulf Arabs make phone calls. They'll call you, you answer with hello, they'll say hello and that's it. They expect you to identify yourself and start the fucking conversation. I have developed multiple ways to fuck with them.

It's not just them. I've had many a wrong phone call where some asswagon calls me and after I say "hello," they reply with "who is this?" You called me, asshole, you identify yourself first or ask for whomever it is you want to talk to. Far too many people haven't been taught manners.

My latest pet peeve is Hotels and Motels that advertise that they have free WiFi.

After you check in, you find that what they have is a crappy, slow and basically useless mess.

Case in point, my Mrs. is on a road trip with her oldest girlfriend and they are in Canada.

So we installed VSEE on both of our phones so we could talk daily.

Every stinking hotel she and her friend have been to so far has not had enough bandwidth (or whatever) to enable us to talk.

So she has to finds a restaurant that has WiFi so we can talk!

I hate to say this, but there ought to be a law where if you advertize free internet, it has to be USEABLE!

The use of the word "unlimited" to sell something when there are conditions and limitations. Fucking people think they can just change the meaning of words to please them.

YEAH! Sorta like "tobacco product" to describe vaping.

You mean like "up to a bazillion Gig" internet speed? Which is not guaranteed and may not be available in your area?

Must be due to all those traveling salesman watching porn in their hotel rooms. Cheaper than the alternative.

When it comes to "how to" videos I still find a single image is worth 20 minutes of blurry, out of focus, web cam jerking around, badly lit video. Usually including pointless and shitty music tracks - just because. But hey - still images aren't cool.

Back when I traveled a lot (Industrial and Government Sales) if I recall correctly, most of the places that I stayed had Adult PPV channels available to the guest.

Sad to say but at the end of my day if I was not having dinner with a client, I would give myself a big treat by having a Chinese Takeout FEAST delivered to my room and ate it in bed while watching the cable movie channels that I did not get at home.

But not being able to send and receive emails was a complete PITA!

(Upon check-in a guest is expressing that he is going to need a special type of room.)

Guest: “Do you have WiFi?”

Me: “Yes, sir, we do!”

Guest: “Is it in all of the rooms?”

Me: “Yes, sir, if you need to use it in the lobby or in the comforts of your room.”

Guest: “Well I need a room with the least amount of radioactive waves from the WiFi.”

Me: *drawing a blank*

Guest: “My wife is allergic to the WiFi signals so we need a room with the most complaints of dropped signals or poor connection. That’s the room with the least radioactive waves.”

Next time I am going to want an email from the manager of the hotel that the WiFi is good enough to stream TV without glitches!

I figure that way I can at least send and receive emails or download books to my Kindle E-Reader.

If it don't happen, I don't frikking pay!

Well, I hate when I buy something new and it smells like farts. New leather goods or sometimes plasticky or electrical components do.

On a serious note; I hate when people call others, fat. I'm not fat myself, I'm a buck 70 soaken wet, but still, shit pisses me off sometimes when I see it or hear it.

It's that black hole up there in the Durham/Raleigh area... it bends time, apparently. Or else the USPS workers in the Durham/Raleigh area are competing with the USPS workers in oompa loompa, FL, Bellingham, WA, and Flushing, NY, to see who can be most incompetent.

I ordered some fresh pineapple from Hawaii for Father's Day on Monday. Didn't get a notice of when it was shipping but got a notice that it will be delivered tomorrow. That's pretty damn good for free shipping.

I disliked a vid of a vape guy who did the yo what's up garbage followed by a slow 30 seconds of intro animation followed by the it's me again crap. Three minutes in, he finally starts talking about the product.

...and he got mad at me for the dislike!!!

Toothrush. Man I remember when you had 3 to choose from. Oral B, Colgate and Reach. Hell I remember when Reach first came out. It's unique design with the angled handle. WTF are all these things you see out there these days? I simply want to brush my teeth.

Lightbulbs. Choosing the right lighting? Seriously?

When the hell did it require a college degree to purchase/use an everyday item?

haha yup, people owe me spares also, it's like vaping is to batteries as Cigarettes are to lighters.

 

[UncleRJ]

And another thing that pisses me off no end.

I don't know what they are called but when I am sitting down with a nice beverage and possibly some snacks watching TV and then having advertisements for other shows appearing on the bottom 25 to 30% of my screen either partially blocking out said part of the screen so I can't see the whole picture or just distracting me from the plot, that just ain't right. Kind of even worse when said advertizements are for the freaking show I am trying to watch. Sorry to tell you TV executives, I ALREADY KNOW THE NAME OF THE SHOW OR MOVIE THAT I AM WATCHING AND I ALSO KNOW THE CHANNEL AND NETWORK I AM WATCHING!

DUMBASS!

Being sick and unable to vape for 3-4 days. And getting a "minor" side effect from a new drug that isn't quite minor at all. "Slight nagging cough" actually means "horking up a lung every 10 minutes non-stop."

Yeah, and many times, another drug is prescribed for that. Effin' pharmaceutical companies. I work with medicine all day long and get really frustrated about the amount of medicine prescribed for the side affects of another. My co-workers hear me cussing a lot.

Go to a convenience store and see if the have a product called VitaLize/K Chill. Or go to a head shop (and I would never recommend a head shop except for this) and buy Kratom.

It may not do anything else for you as it reacts to everyone differently but it will kill that cough just as well as Codiene Cough Syrup does. Hits the same receptors in the brain telling you not to cough.

The kind of cough I have can't be helped with cough medicine or anything like that, because it's not caused by the normal things. It's medication-induced. I've stopped taking the medication (it's an ACE inhibitor) but it can take anywhere from a day to four weeks to go away, according to anecdotal evidence online.

 

[Huckleberried]

Flippin industry. FDA approval process... lovely.

You have been misinformed. Is a plant. In the coffee family. If you take too much it'll make you sick but otherwise it's safer than opiates.

Given how much bad info is out there on vaping and how much we try to give ppl the correct information, shouldn't we try to be educated on other things too?

I saw we lost dateline push back date. The FDA is pursuing more as well. 1 step forward. 2 steps back.

I tend to not take anything OTC without my doc's okay, since I'm on quite a few medications already and don't need additional problems with conflicts between them. My new doctor is big into holistic herbal stuff instead of pharmaceutical meds. She's taken me off vicodin and started me on something called Zyflamend. Seems like it's a mix of herbs and shit that have anti-inflammatory properties.
