Pet Peeves v. u mad?

^ As a cashier I can attest that almost everyone feels they are. Hell, most of them won't even be bothered to load the packed bags into their cart. Society is a lazy place.
 
I don't like the term "the cloud" (it's really the definite article that offends me). I'm not sure why, as I find the internet fine. :P

^maybe the "net" suggests some kind of systemic structure, secure. the "cloud" suggests and image of vapourised information all merging in an insecure blob.
 
People who roll their eyes when having a disagreement with you... We can argue and say what's bothering us.. but you don't have to be a rude piece of shit. That just makes me 10x more pissed off and it's super disrespectful.
 
A new one: people expressing annoyance or indignation at or demanding modification of facial expressions that I'm unaware of having made. Do people really usually have these things within the scope of conscious monitoring and control?

I think that's sorta it, though I think that it is an issue of actual structure, not just metaphorical nomenclature. There is indeed a single network structure binding together nearly all TCP/IP based communication worldwide. With cloud computing, though, while storage is distributed, it's not unified in this way. There is not "the cloud"; rather, there are some clouds. Maybe sometimes we can pick out larger 'storm systems', but there's no unified 'terrestrial weather system'.

People who invite you over just to chill, but then want to go out as soon as you show up. Had I known that I would have declined the invite to start.

hell, if i have less than 10 items i refuse to even take a bag

it's actually a pet peeve of mine when i buy like a pack of cigs and 2 bags of candy and the cashier starts bagging it, i decline a bag, and sometimes they seem to get upset

just trying to go green, yo
 
People who use hashtags for everything, especially when they're not on twitter

^ pretty hot, eh?

my peeve today is people who can't miss an opportunity to show a picture of their baby. any picture which needs to be shown contains baby. picture of my new car? here's my new car with my baby in it. picture of the new pet? here's the pet with the baby...

i just fear that if/when i have a child, i'll become one of those parents who thinks that the rest of the world is as interested in their baby as they are...

people who don't respond to text messages promptly

jackets without pockets

super drunk people at the bar who try to make conversation with you, and ask questions like "so, tell me your life story...how did you and your fiance meet? when did you know he was the one??" ugh, please leave me alone i'm trying to get drunk here

people who don't notice non-verbal cues or get the subtle hints you drop when you're trying to leave or you want them to stop something they're doing without being blunt and/or rude to them. c'mon people, pay attention and take the hint already
