Pet peeve that doesn’t really rise to the level of annoyed, but it’s the closest fit. When people say “jive with” instead of “jibe with.”

I’m trying to shovel off the snow/slush off my side steps and the stoopid motion sensor lights at the top go off after a couple of minutes and the ones at the bottom don’t even come on!!!

Some dude on an electric rental scooter had a bad wipeout on a rental scooter in the street in front of my neighbors house to my left. He had head and neck injuries, and the street was completely blocked for a while. Wear a helmet! We aren’t at the annoyed part yet.
Paramedics left a bunch of trash, including a lot of bloody items, in the street by the neighbors house. Saw it when taking the dog out, went back for gloves, and when I came back out neighbor was cleaning it up. Come on man.

I’m consistently annoyed by reports on the DOW. 1) Way too frequent. 2) The metric is inaccurate. 3) Instead of referring to changes in percent, they say it’s up or down some points, which adds an extra level of meaningless.
I don’t think people understand %s - or it isn’t as good a story, not sure which
Company XYZ made $500b in profit - how greedy
ok, how big are they? what is profit?
I don’t know either. I can’t imagine being so bad at math I don’t know how precents work, but still willing to follow incremental changes in the market, using a completely esoteric measure.
My company is moving and the new place will be one of those dreaded open plans. What’s etiquette there? Obviously you can hear everyone’s phone calls and discussions. So do I have to pretend like I can’t hear everyone’s business or is it just assumed everyone knows everyone’s business and it’s OK to jump in and comment on calls that didn’t involve you?
we were supposed to.take calls in a closed room

Yeah, horn in on random conversations. Eat off of other people’s plates. Fart. Really make leadership question this decision, imo.

Of course, with unassigned desks, I’ll have to carry it around with me, apparently.
Most people are already wfh. The funniest thing is that upper management reportedly thinks this will convince some to move back to the office.
This is good. Get one with the cherry mx blue switches.

Treadmill supposed to be delivered yesterday, canceled without reason. Rescheduled to today, delivery time kept getting pushed back, then “returned to terminal.”
What are the odds we ever even get our treadmill?
If there’s a community kitchen, make sure you microwave dishes with eggs, fish, cruciferous vegetables, curry, etc.
