What are some more of your pet peeves?

[LittleMe Jewell 36,594]

Peeve:  Group notice delivery working as well poorly as group chat.  Just by chance Salt & Pepper group chat worked today and they commented on a Halloween Store Credit of L$250 that expires at midnight tonight.  The system seldom ever actually notifies me of group notices from that group, so I have to remember to check now & then.  RL has been so hectic the past couple of weeks that I haven't remembered to check all my groups.  

I almost missed out on getting my L$250 store credit.

Returning to read after a couple of days and the first thread to stumble upon is the same, old "I'm offended because something doesn't match my preferences!!!1111zoo000mg!".

Fed up again already.

Weekend events that require me to have a HUD for the Teleports.  Though I suppose I could just search for each store and hope they show up in the results.

Gotta admit, if it's the sale I think you're talking about, I like the system. The TP takes you straight to the item -- no having to wander or use area search. I find it really a really convenient and quick system.

I never had a problem finding the items on this sale using the previous technique of getting the TP from the web page of pictures.  Just recently changed so that the web page will no longer give the TP link, which I find frustrating.  

In this case, I was at first really ticked when I attached the HUD because I could not tell what store any of the teeny tiny icons were supposed to be.  Luckily, when I clicked the tiny icon for the store, it actually gave me a decent sized picture of the item, which helped greatly in knowing which ones to actually TP to.  My only real irritation with the HUD itself (other than having to use it), is after viewing a picture, I have to click the back arrow to return to the main screen and then click the next store icon to then see the next picture.

Peeve: drunk or over-drugged people still trying to argue online. Holy shizoop, give it up and go to bed! This goes for over-medicating on otherwise legit and prescribed meds too, don’t think it doesn’t. I haven’t experienced much of this recently and the absence of it has been so nice, I was just realizing that today.

Yes, this. I'll agree on that score, entirely. But then, HUDs in SL really are remarkably primitive, most of them, compared to web technology now.

   Pet peeve: when this thread ends up on the second page of General. Means people aren't malcontent enough with the world around them!

Peeves:

Covid-19

People.

 

Not necessarily in that order.

[Ultimo Constantineau 148]

When you buy half of the sunset side of a region, don't wall it off so not to cuck the corner plots view. Leave it as a beach and build your home as a skybox just to have a recently new neighbor put this 10L prim wall up 2008 style. 2008 called. They want their prim wall back.

Peeved: People crapping up threads arguing about politics.

I hear you. I'm thinking of setting up a sledgehammer to lamp me on the head while I'm in bed, that would do it. But I bet my son would just bonk the cat with it. Mind you, the cat likes to sit on my head.

I laughed - not at yours or Jordan's insomnia I hasten to point out, but the cat sitting on your head!

Mine also does occasionally.

But my PET peeve is her clawing the carpets trying to tunnel her way under any closed doors in front of her.

Don't you mean this guy?

 (Tim Curry is hilarious in that version. It's like he got drunk on set, so they just filmed him because he wouldn't go away.)

Yep, she does that a lot. Many of my posts on here were composed on my phone, with a cat on my head. She's like a rubbish, unbalanced muse, which I guess suits me.

You mean you haven't conveniently flattened the top of your head for her as behooves a responsible cat slave owner?

When the inmates run the asylum. That's a peeve here with PEOPLE and how 'policies' are enforced, with the Internet, and in my freakingly stupid country. People.

When did it become 3:45am???  INSOMNIA BLOWS!!!  Although it would probably help if I was lying in bed and not sitting at my PC....right?

Devices are definitely not going to help. Even TV would be better. Try playing a card game or something until you think you might be able to go back to sleep.
