i feel like i could have a whole thread just for my automotive pet peeves:

When there are two left-turn lanes and the person in the left-most one drifts over into the right-most lane.

Literally: STAY IN YOUR FUCKING LANE!! And the fucking morons that have the nerve to be annoyed by my honking and swerving out of their idiotic way after they fucked up?! I want to play bumper cars with them soooo badly!!

road rage is a real thing. Now take a deep breath! :becky:
 
There is no “heatwave”. It’s the motherfucking middle of summer.


But I do genuinely detest people, so, it could just be me.

They are called "bumpers" for a reason. Put them to good use.
 
Self-important jackass social media influencers who go to public gyms, set up all their video equipment and then act appalled when someone doesn't give them two shits and walks right in front of their camera.

You want a private workout you can film and not be bothered? Get you some weights at home and you won't have to worry about it, ya toxic narcissistic twink!
 
Really annoyed with British accents lately. All these cool mystery documentaries on Netflix and I can’t stay engaged because of all the British narrators.

Yeah, British narration has gotten excessively cliche.

Displaying passwords in plain sight.
Abusing email distribution lists.


Yesterday, one of our middle-managers triggered both pet peeves with a single email.

He tagged all corporate middle-managers and the company president into an email that pertained to only one department using a distribution list. Included in that email was a photo of a laptop with passwords stickered above the keyboard (which was not the slightest bit related to the subject of the email, but I damn sure noticed).

Security is a bigger deal to me than productivity drains, so I first fired off an email to all corporate managers reminding them that displaying passwords in plain sight is a security and corporate policy violation and I directed them to audit all of their employees' workstations for such things. I then acquired the company president's blessing to chew out the middle manager who abused the distribution list. When granted, I did just that.

[It's good to have the boss at your back when dealing with folks outside of your chain of command. This morning, my boss came to my office and told me the manager I chewed out came crying to him about it. My boss told him to go lay in the bed he made. :nod:]

I always enjoy (sarcasm) when someone thinks they are so freaking brilliant and important that they decide to CC upper management on some random email. Like the whole company is expected to stop production and acknowledge the massive brain power of this one low level sales person and their life changing idea or revelation (when most times whatever their idea is has already been thought of and discarded long ago by many others).

Bonus points when they don’t know the difference between too and to and pound on that send button anyways.
