Pet Peeves v. u mad?

Ordering a le creuset baking dish online on sale, only to have it arrive in pieces :( And it was packed without any protection at all, just stuck in a box with some brown paper. Maybe they thought a magic fairy would transport it or something?

I'll get my money back but still.
 
I'm being finicky, but that is more of an unfortunate event - a true pet peeve would e better expressed as "companies who pack mail-order items badly". :p

I'm guessing you didn't order through Le Creuset? If I'm wrong they have an AMAZING return policy. You can get a replacement really easily. They're famous for their customer service.
 
^ no, just a kitchenware company. They offered to replace it but I asked for my money back. Good to know though as I love the brand - thanks :D
 
^ No problem. One of my casserole dishes broke the 2nd time I used it.... literally fell apart while baking salmon at a fairly low heat. I complained and got a new one right away for free, didn't have to prove the broken casserole & didn't have to pay for S&H. No questions asked.
 
Miss_vanilla - that is SO frustrating. It really grinds my gears when i've been waiting and waiting for a product to arrive only to find it defective in some way.

We, by nature, are not made to run for eight hours a day. Even feudal peasants worked fewer hours and at a slower pace than what we are expected to do every day.

I'm not surprised that he rests 20 minutes every hour. Only those people that are glued to work and society continue to work, mentally and physically, for hours on end.

I would say I work 50-55 minutes of every 60 while at work. I take breaks to pee and to get more water. I don't have long spans of time where I sit around twiddling my thumbs. If I find a gap of time, there is always something to fill it. However, the work I do (as you, Simply_Live, know) is not strenuous or requiring much thought. So, maybe my job is in a different class. *Shrug*

My latest peeve: People complaining about things they should've just done anyways. Long story (that no one would want to hear).

Your job is different. I mean the types of jobs that you have a lot of work to do and that might be very mentally challenging (or physically) that might leave you exhausted at the end of the day if you are not allowed breaks every hour or two.
 
^YES! It also grinds my gears when people constantly sniff/clear their throats on the train or anywhere where i'm sitting for long periods or concentrating.

when people elongate the wrong part of a word,

um, for example,

OHHHHHHH NNNNNNNO!

WHHHHHHHAT!

However, there is a difference between "ooooooooooooooh" and "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". I agree with the rest. It just depends on what you can get away with. You can get away with excess "h", but not excess "n". Having excess of a consonant that creates its own independent sound each time you use it makes you look stupid.

Yeah I actually spent time yesterday thinking about that after I wrote it. I was like, technically you could get away 'ohhhhh', maybe even 'nnnno' if you think about it. Something like 'whatttttt!' makes absolutely no sense though. So yeah, I don't think I gave the best examples but it's basically a consonant/vowel thing.

Rawr.
 
I dislike when customers come to my counter while talking on the phone; it is very difficult to find a solution to their problem and ask them questions to get them what they need when they hinder my ability to converse with them. ><
 
Yeah the staring thing gets to me - I always feel people who stare inappropriately are being overtly hostile. I have an acquaintance who does this, and it irritates me no end so I usually stare back at him and he'll always look away.
