Stupid Pet Peeves

[Dr. Jones]

Anyone that replies to this post with, "min-van."

Mods that neg for, seemingly, no reason.

Websites I view on my phone, which scroll down just before I click (touch) on a link so that I end up clicking on an ad instead of the link I wanted.

"I swear, honey, the reason you saw that website on my phone was the result of a complete accident!!!"

Automated phone solicitation calls where the automated voice tells you it is not an automated voice but a real person.

I've received these call three times now. The first time I asked if I was talking to a recording and it responded with a laugh and said "Well, no one's ever asked that before" then I hung up.

This last time I played a long a little longer. Turns out they're trying to get you to enroll in classes somewhere. I asked if they had classes in sexual deviation, the voice recommended information technology and the like. I asked if they had classes in prostitution, because she sounded like a prostitute, it recommended classes in business management. When I used words relating to genitalia too many times it hung up on me.

LOL!!! I've never had anything like that before. But you've probably gotten yourself on some sort of watch list now.

I get one continually where a friendly guy's voice starts with "Oh, thank heavens for voice mail..." and then launches into a spiel about gutter cleaning or window washing

that's what you call nagging????
(edit: misread his post, he said neg not nag)

(Full disclosure: he got a pos rep out of it, all 85 points of it. Not sure why he's complaining.)

 

[moevillini]

now I've got to check my history...
hold on

EDIT: OOPS. He's right. Wonder if I can correct it. This will be a good test of my mod powers.

Sorry PKM. Not sure how that happened. Isn't green rep the default position? I didn't think I changed that.

Customers that take one book out of its place, walk around and put it in a completely different place.

 

[Gameface]

People that hate big trucks but offer no other solution to a guy with a wife and 6 kids.

You drive you wife and kids around in a jacked up diesel truck? That seems like a horrible type of vehicle for that sort of thing.

Ever heard of a mini van?

Yeah, and if you insist it isn't a real person it suggests that maybe it's just because we have a bad connection. I don't get having an automated voice lie about being an automated voice.

And the kicker is the people who made it must have thought they did a really good job making it sound like a real person...but they didn't.

[moevillini]

parking spots that are too narrow

especially when it happens with a new business whose permit to open specifies that they have to provide a certain minimum number of parking spaces so they qualify by making impossibly small spaces

even worse when you've got some ginormous Escalade taking up three of the spaces
