Let me break the pattern 4 this page and do 1 that’s not about kids.

When you’re in restaurant and the waiter or waitress offers 2 get you a new drink after you’ve only had 2 or 3 sips.  

Let me tack onto that, Necko.

It irks me when I have almost a full glass of my drink and I ask for a to-go glass to put it in, and instead they bring out a full glass. I hate that kind of waste.

What I also hate is when the total opposite happens, when you finish your whole drink in the middle of your meal, and the waiter or waitress doesn’t even bother with offering a refill. That really irks me! a-hard-days-night-paul-7

Job application forms that are lazily written, full of stupid questions, unnecessarily long, and require you to answer every single question, even though many of them ask the same thing twice.

When people attach the word “community” to themselves. Examples include Black community, LGBT community, etc… Does this happen in other countries as well, or just here in the US?

This is why it bugs me. Many of these so-called communities have struggled for years and years to gain acceptance. Now, everyone seems to be segregating themselves into their own communities.

Why can’t we all be part of the Human community?  apple01heart

So like if I say ‘I am part of the the Beatles Bible community’ is that an example of your pet peeve?

Unless they hate the Beatles or spam, of course.

 

As for a pet peeve, here’s a new one:

When a CD case keeps the CD in so securely that you fear cracking the CD when you try to take it out of the case.

I cut my finger on the receipt-printer at work today, it bloody hurts (I also got blood all over someone’s receipt, poor f**ker)

 

I’ll file a lawsuit for €5 million in damages tomorrow claiming I have lost the ability to play piano (not that I had much of it to begin with) and I’ll take 6 months sick leave to recover from my boo-boo.

 

Oh I forgot to mention my pet peeve: Sharp receipt-printer cutters (apparently)

You might be sued yourself @AppleScruffJunior for getting blood on a customers receipt. Tons of health and safety breaches alone. We’ll give you character references – for a fee.

Tbf it was the merchant’s copy, it’ll just go to the cash office, they’ll probably think somebody was murdered or something. I should probably have written “sorry cut my finger, I swear I don’t have any contagious illness” on it but….eh.

The firm caused the problem because “technically” speaking, they didn’t train me in how to pull receipts so….. that’s my excuse for the trial anyways.

I carry plasters on me anyways so I stuck that on about 30 seconds after.

When concert venues still make pathetic attempts to enforce “no video recordings” rules.

Let’s be honest, here: It’s not 1978 anymore. It’s 2016 and the average person has a video recorder, audio recorder and camera in their pocket in the form of a cellphone. There are so many people out there with cellphones that it’s damn near impossible to enforce these outdated rules well. The people recording aren’t going to make money bootlegging, because the recording quality is generally poor. Realistically, these people are recording to keep it for themselves or upload it to YouTube and make zero money off it. It’s bullshit that, in 2016, I should still be risking getting thrown out of the venue just because I want to take a little piece of the concert home with me.

Meanwhile, concert security are still wasting their time fighting this losing (lost, really) battle rather than keeping people from getting unruly, answering concertgoer questions and solving concertgoer problems. You know, that radical thing known as actually helping people.

 

To be clear, I’m not blaming concert staff. I’m blaming the people who are in charge of making and keeping these policies.

There have been reports that down the line phones will have the technology to be unable to film live concerts.

I filmed a little of the Paul concert but upon discovering the quality was dire gave up. I don’t get why anyone would go to a 3 hour concert and film the whole thing however.

I can see a bigger justification for it than just concert filming. Murderous police officers and authoritarian governments would be most grateful to the content industry for the foot in the door. Why am I not surprised it’s Apple first?

You may not like my peeve. It’s concertgoers making pathetic videos with their cellphones. It’s agreed that these videos are close to unwatchable due to the piss poor quality of video and sound. Yet, there are always scores of schmucks doing it anyway with their phones held aloft directly in my line of vision.

Right!  On that small vid I shot that’s in the tribute band thread, I purposely walked to the back of the crowd (it was a small audience) just because I didn’t want to block someone’s enjoyment with my mitts up in the air.

I honestly don’t care if they film the concert, as long as they do it away from my view window to the stage.
