When I'm in the mood for finding a particular clip from a TV show, and people name their videos on Youtube in a way that makes you think it's the actual clip, but then you click on it and it's a godawful Windows Movie Maker "music video" that some teenager made with starwipes and marquees all over the place.
AHH!! I just want my Clois clip! NOT some stupid pictures, running with some stupid song, with every tacky Windows Movie Maker transition available!
HR
Thursday, October 21, 2010
Unless you are at the upper echelon of the pyramid aka "really important folk", HR is infuriating. Some are good. Others, they don't even give you the courtesy of a canned response. HR people, get a program called Texter, it's free and lets you use shortcut keystrokes to do auto-text. Voilà!
And then once you're in, unless you have a good relationship with your HR person, good luck ever getting them to help you without following up 50000 times.

When iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod
And it's late and you have to get to bed for work early next morning, but you really had your heart set on listening to something you JUST DOWNLOADED BUT CAN'T SYNC ON TO YOUR IPOD BECAUSE OF STUPID ITUNES!

- When people get an internal promotion and instead of showing start date - XX date -> lowly peasant and XX date - present -> senior peasant, they just update the title on the same entry so it looks like they were "high up" since they started when in reality, they were only in a senior role for maybe 2-3 months. LIES!!
When you add your house on foursquare and keep checking into it
Seriously. WTF. That's not the point of foursquare.
Feeding every social media site you're on to your Facebook
I don't care about all your benign and useless tweets, foursquare check ins (or worse, your foursquare feeds into your Twitter which double posts to Facebook), Playstation badges, etc. OVERKILL AND IT'S RUINING MY NEWSFEED! I will only not block your updates if you do this if you are generally not annoying in real life, other than doing this godawful annoying thing online, but every time I see my newsfeed fill up with your incessant foursquare Starbucks check ins, I die a little inside.
(yes I've checked into a Starbucks before but that was one time!)

- People who chase after a bus and when the bus stops for them, they suddenly slow down completely like they are taking a jovial walk in the park.
- People who are sitting yet just hold on to the pole. You're sitting, you're not going to fall over (unless you are so decrepit that you have not an ounce of strength to keep yourself up with bus movement)
- People who don't understand the concept of the line. When the bus comes, they beeline to the front. GET YOURSELF TO THE BACK OF THE LINE!
- People who stand in the doorway, oblivious to people trying to get on the train or bus.
- People who cough and then grab onto the pole. Eww.
- People who have stuff in the seat beside them, even with a really packed train/bus and even when you're hovering in front of said seat.
- People who have no concept of space and stand in the main areas to chit chat, in front of escalators or pathway to the subway or block the subway doors.
- People who DON'T UNDERSTAND STAND RIGHT, WALK LEFT! Or worse, the escalator is empty but a person standing on the right (correct) and another person decides to, out of all available steps, stand beside the other person. THE WORST: when this happens at a main interchange station!
- People who use their public transit time to do their personal grooming (i.e. picking their nose, cleaning their ears, yanking out nose/eyebrow hairs, clipping their nails). WTF!
- When the bus is almost all empty but of all the seats to choose, they plop themselves down right beside you.
- People who wait until the last possible minute to get out of their seat to get off on their stop. So the doors are closing or closed and the driver is ready to go, but some idiot bolts to the door to open it (and then takes the 10 seconds to close itself again).
- People who are waiting for the buses (not the ones who run to them) and yet when they get on, they stand in front of the driver fishing out their tokens/Metropass/change while all the people behind them can't get by or the bus driver waits until they've deposited their fare before driving off. The bus isn't a rocket that shows up out of nowhere in the blink of an eye, you can see it chug along slowly. Get your shit together and don't cause a jam in the doorway!
- People who put their feet up in the seats. Eww.
- People who don't know how express routes work. And freak out when they realize what express means.
- People who walk in groups, slowly and not spatially aware of their surroundings.
- People who talks on their cellphones loudly. Popular Asian method of cusping your hand around your mouth with the phone and still speaking loudly makes that action moot.
- People who bring food on the bus or subway to not only eat it there but requires them to lick all their fingers while devouring said food item Examples: chips and fried chicken (it could happen). Those fingers then proceed to touch all the poles...
- People at Yonge and Sheppard in the morning, they stand in front of the subway doors opening and you're trying to get out, and they think they can just walk through you. WTF.
- When you are starting a line for the bus (not counting the double doors at the back when waiting at the station) and some idiot stands beside you, forming a new line behind them and you look like you're the idiot who budded everyone.
- People who walk into the subway and just hover by the doorway or, as the chime goes off, they are slowwwwllyyyy walking into the subway thus blocking the way for others to attempt to get on. And get on without getting stuck in the closing doors.
- When you've been waiting forever and a day for a bus to come and when it finally does, it's really full but you're already running late so you have no choice. And while you are standing there packed like a sardine, another practically empty bus whizzes by you. AHHH!
