What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[thepumpguysc]

I HAD TO find a Primary Care Physician to get me on some blood pressure meds immediately..
I called 5 Dr offices on July 22nd for hypertension..
The FASTEST ANYONE would get me in was AUG. 18th.!!
Luckily I went to a Doc in a box and he gave me enough meds to tide me over until I could get into see one..
I even went a bought a BP cuff.. that’s how serious I’m taking this..
TOOO BAD, no one else is.!!

Estate Executor Going Through Fuddy's Stuff: What was WRONG with this guy?

I have nothing to do with his estate and I've been asking the same question.

Software companies who think they need to change up the GUI on their software every 6 months. Then they have an AI generated questionnaire that asks how you like the new look. Like a human will ever read your 12 paragraph response. If you have had the same GUI layout for 3 decades, don't change the whole damn thing because you as a programmer are a Millennial or a Zoomer and you get bored with yourself constantly. Many of us like everything being in the same place and looking like it has for the past 2 or 3 decades. It makes us "efficient". Tell me I am wrong.....

Remember being able to see your doctor TODAY? What happened to that?

"Doc, I may have a melanoma on my arm. I need it looked at fast."

"Good day sir and I hope you are having a nice day there in America. We are having wonderful weather here in Mumbai. The doctor will be able to see you in three months if you will be so kind as to repeat the information our system already has."

Hah! I remember when the doctor, Ol' Doc Young, came to the house with his little black bag to treat you.

Programmers, or maybe they're called coders today, should be required to use their improved software 10 times every day for a month before it goes live, and then if it does, they have to man the customer support lines for another six months to take calls from pissed off users.

"they have to man the customer support lines for another six months to take calls from pissed off users."

I think they already do. That is why you can't understand them on the support lines, as English is not their first language......nor is it their second or third......

Yahoo changed their email look a few months ago. It looks like a 3rd grade kid drew a cartoon. The comments when it came out were stupendously accurate.
Yet we are stuck with the new "improved" version. I've had my account there since 2000 so it would be difficult to swith over.
Yet I use it as little as possible and normally access via my phone.

Hah! I remember when the doctor, Ol' Doc Young, came to the house with his little black bag to treat you.

My brother Tom was sick back around 1963 and the doctor was there frequently before finally sending him to the hospital. One time he "lanced a boil" and I remember being told that Thomas had a bug. I must have seen the blood or something because for years I envisioned a big red bug that the Dr speared.

People who are talking about concrete yet use the word cement.

I hope my or anyone else's foundation or garage slabs weren't poured with "cement" lol. To me anyway it's like calling a water heater a "hot water heater".

Not to mention, the trend over the last 10 years to make everything "softer", to where I can no longer distinguish the active window among my dozen open programs, from the several inactive.

Remember when Windows colored the active window with a dark blue header and bold border, and all active windows with a gray header and border? Now, the difference is like one shade on the color scale, I can't even tell which is which, and I find myself trying to type in the wrong window 8 times every hour.
