Beth Macbain Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Okay, now I'm peeved. I turned 50 in September and I've not gotten one damn thing from AARP. I was looking forward to it so I could get my discounts on everything! ...grumbles and heads to the AARP website to join... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritSparrow Skydancer Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 People walking their dogs on retractable leashes. I hate those things. (was the topic supposed to be SL specific?) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Merchants that put demos on the MP without linking them to the real item. LL finally gave us a checkbox to eliminate demos from the search results, but it only works if the demo is linked to a full version. I was so ticked earlier while searching for something and bunches of demos kept popping up, cluttering my results. I finally went to many of the stores and flagged bunches and bunches of demo items. Ugh - Even worse when you can't even get them filtered out by specifying 'NOT demo' Edited May 16, 2020 by LittleMe Jewell 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyelaNewLife Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 When you finally finish sorting a section of inventory and realise you've spent over L$5k over the last two years on 75L sale items from a single creator. And that you've used them in about five photos max. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, whenever I see something on sale I used to go 'oh it's just L$50/75', I think half of my alt's inventory has never been worn after I purchased it. I don't want to know how much L$ I've burnt on things I never use. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are dangerous if used incorrectly. And I have a burn scar on my leg from one I got tangled up in about 15 years ago.

Flagged another batch of junk for keyword spam, since one store's crud flooded my search pages and had nothing to do with what I wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Current peeve: Seeing fairy wings at Fantasy Faire that I really liked, wanted to buy, and due to misplaced adulting, I did not buy. Now I want those fairy wings. I can't recall the region in which I saw them, let alone the store. "I'll know 'em when I see them!" The Shopping Guide for FF is still up and it was next to useless before FF and is getting more annoying now. It is on Pinterest and it just doesn't work very well. Scroll scroll scroll... and the pages jam after a while. Unresponsive. Wait. Reload. Repeat. AUGH. THIS, this is why adulting is stoopid. I should never do it. It bites you in the butt every time.

Lindal Kidd Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I hate those retractable dog leashes too. If you want to give your dog more line, get a longer regular lead. Learn to coil it and handle it. The retractable ones give you very little control over your dog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinos Field Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I seriously don't understand why so few stores mark if their clothes are modifiable in-world. Often I find myself having to browse their marketplace store to make sure, which entirely eliminates the chance of impulse purchases. Good for my wallet, perhaps, but annoying. All it takes is three letters on the vendor. M, C and T, and you color those or circle them or anything really - put in at least that little bit of extra effort. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seicher Rae Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I can only succumb to peer pressure for so long before I get itchy. Pet peeve: When you change your avatar photo or sig line or member title or whatever, it changes for all time (until you change it again). I'd kinda like the historical record, like if you make a change on Google Calendar it asks if you want to change it once, moving forward, or everywhere. So now all those pages of bees have totally lost their context and I am proven to bee Certifiably Evil once again. I'm gonna get thrown out of the Hive, damnit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at a very large online shopping website and didn't see any retractable leashes that didn't have a lock. Used properly you have the same control over your dog that you'd have with a standard lead. The owners, not the equipment, are at fault. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seicher Rae Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It seems I tend to peeve in clumps. I don't mind the game threads and the "what are you _____ today" threads. They generally don't interest me and so I usually don't go there. I am also a big proponent of "Your scroll wheel works!" However, I've seen others propose that those things be given their own special sub-forum and lately I'm thinking that is a good idea. The GD subform is getting snowed under with these things, while more chatty threads (serious or otherwise) get pushed back off page one and I think some die an early death because of it. So it is a mild peeve, but becoming a peeve nonetheless. Like, I mean, really? You expect *me* to click the page thingie to "2"? Not in this lifetime, buster! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
