Stupid Pet Peeves

Changing your password every 90 days AT ALL. Drives me nuts.

While we are at it, ridiculous expectations for passwords.

"Your password must contain:

* 8-14 characters, no more, no less
* at least one upper case letter
* at least one lower case letter
* at least one number
* at least one special character
* cannot contain any of these special characters: !@#$%^&:;,<>?/{]}{
* must contain the initials of at least one of the original mouseketeers
* cannot contain the abbreviation of any state
* cannot spell out a word
* cannot have any 2 numbers in sequence
* cannot repeat any characters
* must contain at least one 3-digit prime number
* cannot repeat any of your previous 78 passwords, or any part of them

etc. etc."

We will reach a point of critical mass where everyone will be forced into using exactly one password and they will all be the same in order to fulfill all the crap required. Hmm. Maybe that is the master plan after all?

seriously, this sounds like the requirements for my husband's log-in for his payroll account
* at least 16 characters
* no two numbers in sequence
* no sequence of 3 or more letters that could possibly spell a word or a common abbreviation
* at least one upper case and one lower case letter
* special character (most are allowed but there are a couple that are not, like @ and #)
* must be changed every 90 days - originally it had to change every 60 days but they decided that was too onerous

pretty pointless since the Russians have probably hacked into it anyhow...
 
and here are a couple of husband related stupid pet peeves

His bagel buying habits - he likes to get bagels on the weekends, so he buys six bagels but only eats 2 and maybe I'll eat one, then the next day he gets another six bagels even though there are 2 or 3 left from the day before.

His toothpaste buying habits - he buys the most DISGUSTING toothpaste imaginable, in watermelon and strawberry flavors by Colgate. Trust me, you do not want to brush your teeth with this stuff. I love watermelons and I love strawberries, but they just don't work for toothpaste.
 
ok, this is perhaps an extreme example, but yeah...

people who do this should be wrapped in a flag-adorned straightjacket and thrown in the back of a cargo van traveling over a pot-hole filled road
 
When I'm driving with my wife and we get where we're going and park and I get out and get to the door of the place we're going and stop to open the door for my wife but when i turn around she hasn't even gotten out of the car yet.

Like what the hell takes so long? Undo seatbelt, open door, exit vehicle...done.

Perhaps she's waiting for you to open her door?
 
How do you get all the way to the door of the place and not realize she's not there?

But I feel ya. They do take forever to leave the car.

Yes this, I do wait behind the car for what seems like forever sometimes but I have never walked all the way into the store without noticing she has gotten out of the car. Although I could make it to the door most of the time. Its even more baffling because I am driving most of the time. I am the one who needs time to gather my **** and put the parking brake on and put it in gear, she has time to be prepared to get out of the car.
 
Men - you just don't understand. It has to do with our multi-tasking brains. There is a lot more involved than just opening the door and getting out.
 
If you have a new set of exercises and workout philosophy you are following, this is called a REGIMEN. REGIMEN.


If you have just established a great new government and hope to oppress your people for personal gain, this is called a REGIME. REGIME.


They are NOT interchangeable.

Ugh.




(note: a regime does not have to have a negative connotation, I just used that example for fun. Also a regime does not necessarily have to be a political organization, it can really be any system of leadership, although that is the normal usage of the word)

Authorities in Iowa are trying to decide whether to file charges against a hospital CEO whose 7-month-old daughter died after being accidentally left in a minivan while she rushed off to attend meetings.

The county medical examiner has ruled the death accidental, but prosecutors have yet to decide whether to charge Kari Engholm over the death of her daughter Clare.

Engholm left Clare in a minivan last month on a day when outside temperatures approached 90 degrees. Engholm was rushing to attend a series of meetings at Dallas County Hospital in Perry, Iowa.

Engholm's family, it seems, has forgiven her, calling the death a tragic mistake, the result of an overstressed woman who was used to her husband dropping the little girl off with the baby sitter.

Ok, just for you.

If you start following a new tantric method of self-pleasuring involving ritualistic aspects like candle-lighting and Michael Bolton music, and you follow it the same every time, or try to, that is your ************ REGIMEN.

Or if you have started smoking weed, you know for glaucoma or phantom back pain or some other fully legitimate reason, and you smoke it every day at about the same time, often while eating lots of cheetos or doritos, you know to make sure the effects don't wear off for your pain, or whatever, that is your daily weed REGIMEN.

Sad. I don't think people should be charged when this happens (unless it is obvious they wanted their child to die). They've been punished enough.

It seems most of the time this happens is because it was outside their routine. We obviously need more mindfulness, being in the present moment.
