Today's Pet Peeve

I'm caging it, doing 70 or whatever in the right lane, cruise control on. Buttplug in the left lane is creeping up on me. Buttplug pulls directly next to me (or sometimes in my blind spot) and parks it there. I look over and buttplug is staring straight ahead, mouth agape, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that they're cruising side by side with me, eliminating an escape route and potentially clogging up the fucking freeway. :RAGESMILEY

But I thought that's the correct way to drive!?!?!?
1) don't speed, because you're in the second lane and as we know 'responsible people are in the second lane'
2) in case some uppity guy goes past in lane 1 next to you, accelerate and BLOCK HIM! BLOCK HIM! BLOCK HIM!!!

j/k. I don't drive like that. Lots of Onion readers and Simpson viewers do, though.

when my birthday passes and I don't get a BARF message :p
 
People that leave travel arrangements until the last minute, resulting in shitty seats.

People who can't walk in a straight line at the airport.

Flying. Remember when this was fun? Now it sucks.
 
Pessimism out of laziness.
ie "No we cant fix the fence, its ugly but we built it anyway, theres nothing we can do about it" or "the car needs service but its expensive to do and the dealership is far away. I guess theres nothing we can do"

fuck that! you're creating your own problems out of neglect!
 
Those MF'ers that walk around home depot trying to hawk kitchen cabinet re-facing or whatever. They think they are sneaky walking and stopping a distance away "Oh hey sir, you're a homeowner right??" or "Hey, did you hear about the special thats going on right now?"

I lie and say "Nope, not an owner yet, some day" and they leave me the hell alone.
 
People that call wheels "rims". The rim is a part of the wheel not the whole thing, dumbass.

:party

This bugs the shit out of me, too.

"I gotz me some tite rims, yo"

Oh, too bad you didn't get the whole fuckin' wheel, sounds like you got ripped off, you tool! :twofinger

Also... "Billet". A billet is a chunk of metal before it becomes bar stock or whatever. A finished, machined aluminum product is not "billet". It's a fucking piece of machined aluminum.

Also... Boyd Coddington and his merry band of douchebags. Yes, I know he's dead.
 
Oh how I wish I could post this in another thread this morning.

Don't be a little bitch, come up with an idea to solve the problem instead of just whining about it. No one likes to listen to someone that just complains and doesn't offer up a solution...

people that respond to job postings they're ENTIRELY unqualified for. We are only asking for a minimum of 2 years (paralegal) experience yet I get newly certified paralegals whose last job was at Best Buy. I get the economy is bad and people are desperate but why bother when you're not even remotely qualified?? :rant

Because you never know. I can't fault them for that.
 
No, you do know. Or a smart person would know. If an ad asks for a specific no. of years doing specific paralegal duties, someone from Best Buy has zero chance of being hired. Zero.

Just saying...I've been hired by companies when I wasn't fully qualified/didn't meet their experience level.
 
Hiring managers looking for a minimum of two years experience when one would probably be ok as long as the person has tons of other upside.:shocker:shocker
 
Well I can tell you from being the hiring manager, those resumes go directly into a "no" folder, regardless of their other experience. If we aren't looking to hire a first year, we aren't looking to hire a first year. Plain and simple.

Hiring managers that ask for a masters degree and five years experience for a job labeled as entry level at a pay level that won't clear paying student loans much less cost of living.

Do you really want someone with all that experience and education that isn't competent enough to be more than entry level? I know the job market is tough but your job posting goes in the fail bin, because if you hire like that your company is a full bin off fail.
