Petty Vents

I've had many cats and dogs in my adult life, all of them from animal shelters or stray cats who needed homes. So I'm all about adopting pets. But why the need to always remind everyone your dog is a "rescue" dog?

I just read a review for a self serve dog wash. "This place is amazing. I brought my new rescue and my other rescue and both rescues are nice and clean now! This is a pic of my rescues! "

So braggy

Same as “Billy has travel soccer”

Ha. I love AITA threads though. Is it a reddit thing or something? What should it be called here?

Have I mentioned my hatred for heavily tinted driver windows?

I don’t know, I find most of the AITA threads here pretty basic, like should I feed my college age child. No nuanced discussion here imo
Yeah I am told it came from Reddit. Here people used to ask WWYD or should I or is it ok.
I guess I am just resistant to change lol

Anonymous wrote:- The constant poor grammar/spelling on social media - "loose" instead of "lose," misuse of apostrophes, people using "n" or "an" instead of "and" and "u/ur" instead of "you/your" - does it really take that long to type in a few more characters?

- The increased prevalence of people saying "graduated college" vs. "graduated FROM college"

- COMPLETELY agree with the PP who dislikes women referring to themselves as "mommas" or "mamas." Say "mothers" or "moms."

- QR code menus. Especially when there are separate QR codes for the beverage menu and the food menu

- How restaurants will distribute only one cocktail/alcohol menu at a table and you have multiple people who need to look at it, and then they want to take your drinks order 2 minutes after you sit down when not even 1 person has had the chance to read it yet.

- "Gender reveals" - I know "gender" sounds nicer but it is SEX reveals, people!

These are all great though I have come around on QR code ordering as some restaurants have gotten better at it. Actually my presence is what they do at our favorite Mexican restaurant-- physical menus for ordering from a server, but when the check comes it has a QR code on it and you can pay with your phone instead of waiting for the whole card exchange process. So easy!

But a lot of restaurants will do QR menus that don't work, are poorly laid out or talk forever to load, and then you order from a server anyway. What is the freaking point?

Dp. Honestly I would love to order and pay via QR codes and just have someone bring me the food - to just avoid heavy tipping. Most servers are useless now anyway

I hate confrontation so while I should say something to him instead I've changed my workout schedule so as to avoid him, Problem is, he just about lives there and is there what seems to be 24/7. Now I'm getting more pissed about it because I'm going to the gym today and I know he's going to be there.

He literally looks all three of these dbags.

Report him to the gym or find another one.
This is why I work out at home!!

Just sleep with him - that’s what he really wants

Made me LOL!

When moms refer to themselves and other moms as “mommas”.

I find these petty, and I roll my eyes at myself for thinking they’re petty, but here we are.

I think it’s cute and I love it. Me and my girls talk like this and don’t have any issues with it.

Since no doubt your "girls" are just your little clique of preschool mommies and not your daughters, this is unsurprising.

Wow. You must be lonely and bitter and not have a group of girls to call as your friends.

NP but I have a group of grown women that are my friends. No girls.

You sound like fun. Are you and your group all lonely bitter and childless? You all sound jealous of me and my girls, and the fact that we all have the most adorbs littles who are going to be best friends for life

Sweetie, I know you're trying to troll us here, but it's not working, you just sound dumb.

DP and agreed. One of the lamest troll attempts I've seen lately.

LOL. Thank you for this.

“We are currently experiencing a higher-than-normal call volume.”

THE FCK you are. It’s not higher than normal if you play that on every call. Do you think I’m stupid?!

It’s stationery!

Breath and breathe misspelled and misused.

Misuse of apostrophes.

Who’s is my biggest pet peeve!

I have done my polite correction( just an asterisk and the proper spelling) on so many threads where people use discrete when they mean *discreet. It isn’t helping.

I get annoyed when I am in my car and at a red light, and the light takes a long time to change. Someone is standing on the corner looking at their phone. The light turns green and this is the precise moment that the person standing on the corner decides to walk in front of you to cross the street. You honk at the person and they give you a dirty look. How dare I want drive forward when the light turns green.

I’m tired of a coworker constantly asking me the same questions over and over. Sometimes I say, write this down because it will come up again or save that document for a reference. Nope, still calls me. I can’t decide if he’s lazy or just dumb.

“I’ve already shared this information with you, and I’m not repeating myself to you again. I’ve even suggested that you write things down. I’d be happy to answer any new questions, once. You’ve wasted my time and disrespected me. In the future, write it down or I won’t share information with you at all. That includes emails.”

I said basically this to a co-worker once, and my boss backed me up.
