Pet Peeves

Ah it worked.

Websites set up by legitimate businesses that one goes on to in order to pay a bill on-line and the site is so user unfriendly and hard to navigate.  I wonder if the people who own these sites ever browse them to check on the ease or difficulty of the site?

Yes! That really bites.

People who cough without covering their mouth. Do they not teach that anymore?

Disrespect towards the elderly.

I agree.    They teach the kids to sneeze into the crook of their elbow at my nieces school.




My pet peeve.   And it really bothered me today.    I customer meeting and when he meant to say "supposedly", he said "supposebly"       I'm no grammar queen or linguistics wonder, but god, I was just grating my teeth.    Probably because he thought he was smarter than my colleague and I.   He pretty much talked down to us the whole time.   But, he pays our bills, so we just smile and nod.

Websites that periodically force you to change your password, refuse to let you use an old password, and insist that you include upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.  Invariably they require you to create a password you will never remember.  Ugh.

And it isn't even the best way to build a secure password:

People who chew gum with their mouth open. It's such an irritating sound.

More specifically, pop-up ads where the "X" in the top right corner which I assume is supposed to close the pop up actually opens a larger pop up.

Disrespect from the young...

Seems a common trait wherever. ....and especially on the roads. .

In the same sense, supposedly intelligent people saying aks instead of ask. Arghh.

And clickbait sites of any kind.

People who actually think there is a middle class. White people who think others are the reason why they are in the mythical middle class. Blacks (the nigga) who blame everything on the "White man" when they are the most devastating problem in the Black community.

Oil companies that jack up the price of gasoline right before a holiday or long weekend. Went out Christmas shopping just after 1 PM. I planned on filling the tank before I got home. Drove by a gas station on the way home and saw that in less than 1 1/2 hours, the price went up 12 cents/litre (the equivalent of 45 cents/ US gallon).

Top that off on 1 January with a 5 cent/litre hike in gasoline prices in Alberta due to the left wingers carbon tax which takes effect then.
