What are your pet hates?

And no matter how many you block----there's a new batch every godamn day!

 

Maybe it would make sense to answer and request being on their don't call list. I have heard--( which basically doesn't mean shit) that one can make some $$, if they continue to call. Who knows?

 

Before they remove you from their call list they sell your info to at least 5 other assholes... There's big money in these call lists these days.

 

that, and a good portion of these calls are spoofed and come in from overseas, where the dnc list means precisely as much as a toilet in the places they call /from/

ever gotten a ring and the caller id lists your name and number? it's bullsht. I /hate/ phones in particular.

 

i also hate the phone and i know i communicate better through writing than actually speaking, whether over the phone or in person. that said, it drives me crazy when someone in an office 30 feet away wants to discuss something via email that will require 2 weeks of emailing back and forth to accomplish the same thing that you would by walking over and actually talking for 5 minutes.

 

Yeah that is annoying. My office is really big into IMing people you could actually talk to face to face without even leaving your desk. Its weird.

 

This thread title realllllyyy pisses me off

 

If all the hate in this thread was collected and put into one person they would explode.

 

But it seems more like petty griping really.

 

Scatcho... Your goddamn language, please.

 

When instead of using walking paths your wife thinks it's a good idea to get a 2nd hand treadmill and it now lives in the garage and encroaches on my pool table room. might not even work properly and it's like we just picked up someone else's shit and now have to get rid of it ourselves.

 

The word pet. It just sucks. I have always thought so.

 

Yep. Especially when applied to myself by older females

 

I think it doesn't do honor to your animal either. Btw the dutch word pet means cap (as in hat). The dutch word for pet is huisdier, literal translation: home animal. Much better.

 

'Animal companion' is good, but probably too long. There is something a bit pathetic about the word 'pet' though even for the native english speaker. At least, I've always thought so. It certainly deprives a cat of it's dignity (or indeed a proper dog) to use the term.

 

But I dislike the word pet in any way. Pet peeves, petting an animal. Damn, what a lousy word! Right??

 

Ah, its not just me

 

so wait until she's using it and start "accidentally" poking her during your back swings.

don't forget heavy petting.

although if that's happening, i don't care what it's called anymore.

 

I was about to mention robocalls but you guys already covered that lol I usually get ones that have the same first 6 numbers as my phone number, and the last four are different. It says it's from my area but they always have an accent and they sound really far away.

By using local numbers they get you to pick up because I never know if it's important like a work thing, or whatnot. Just like all of your emails became spam, the same is happening with phones. I even get spam texts, sometimes even random things having to do with my ex and his car insurance and I'm like why the hell are they texting me, and he doesn't even have a car.

 

"Scan and go", apparently now

So our biggest supermarket chain doesnt want to even bother with self service checkouts now

I am suppose to use MY freakin phone and walk around the supermarket scanning barcodes as I place each item in the trolley, then of course bag the shit myself

Fuck you
