Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.

When people wait for the elevator, it stops and lets them in, and then they're only going 1 floor and getting back out. When they're able bodied and the stairs are easily accessed.

I need to get the channel that Tom does.

Best wishes to everyone east of the Rockies for staying warm and getting through this one ok.

Yeah, I'm pissed that we got the cold and almost no snow.

I'm pissed off that we got the cold and it's STILL snowing!

may i interest you in some Yanet Garcia?

The kid last night no doubt would have said that is some impressive "ass" accumulation.

I was going to post this next comment in the Nominative Determinism thread, but since you're here and it's not that big a deal, I'll just drop it here:

When the weather gets bad I don't know where these local stations come up with all these talking heads I've never seen before to do the nearly round-the-clock coverage. I only watch one station regularly so that may explain part of it, but still ...

Anyway, one kid doing the weather coverage last night was named Brenden Weathers.

I don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

The holding elevator doors when it's someplace like the Venetian and their are 17 elevators and the person would only have to wait a few seconds for another elevator.

I can't be the only psychopath here who has acted like I was reaching for the button to keep the doors open but intentionally hit the close doors button, can I?

(Not all the time. Just for selected people trying to travel with me.)

Make sure to say, "Sorry, just missed it," as the doors close.

No need. Looking disappointed as the doors are nearly closed is sufficient and works at all distances.

You might be doing them a favor. If your victim is like me, he also hates to have the door needlessly held open for him, prompting him to rush and thank you.

We're all trapped in this pointless ritual because there is no way for etiquette to differentiate between an apartment building with one elevator or an office or mega resort with tons of elevators.

Pressing the door open button as opposed to putting your hand out to stop the door pisses me off.

I think Larry David did this in a scene in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

For any other boomer that still uses cash. When you get change and they put the coins on top of the bills. I've mastered my technique over the years but sometimes my other hand is full and I'm distracted and a few times a year those coins are hitting the floor during pocket transfer. I've worked retail before, out of courtesy would always hand the customer their coins first and bills on top to avoid slippage.

yeah when i handled cash in a job id do coins first then bills.. just seemed GTO to me.

This might be an urban legend, but I remember hearing that for safety reasons, "Door Close" buttons aren't allowed in elevators any more. Any door close button still present in an elevator is likely just a placebo.

Placebos work!

If you do the (once upon a time) standard thing of counting back up to the bill they gave you, this takes care of itself. Like the thing where they spent $2.63 and gave you a $20, and you say "okay there's $3, $4, $5, $10, and...$20", as you dump the change in their hand, then the singles, the five, and the ten.

But that seemed to be a lost art even 30 years ago when I was a cashier, like all the younger ones would sorta know they were supposed to do something like that, but they'd count up the change amount instead, like starting with the ten and counting up to $17.37, which of course meant coins on top of bills. It pissed me off and maybe should have.

Don’t know about that but no ‘door close’ button has ever worked as well as I desired.

i've heard if you place an elbow close to it while mouthing sayonara it might just work for your psyche

Always bugged me how google and companies like that profit off promoting scams and fraud.

e.g. I recently saw a youtube ad that was so scammy it was kind of funny. It was for this jewelry shop, supposedly run by an elderly couple who were retiring and selling off their inventory at 90% discounts.

I was curious enough to look it up and apparently the site usually just takes people's money and sends them nothing. Sometimes they send some junk. Also, they might sell your credit card info.

I understand that youtube/google cannot vet every supplement or BS wonder knife or whatever, but it's kinda crazy they profit off this. Especially as they go pretty hard after political speech they dislike, and they are so overzelous about copyright, that there is a small industry of people who just file false copyright claims and steal the revenue from videos. But somehow it's beyond their capacity to stop ads for full blown scams that can be identified as scams within 7 seconds on their own search engine.

Paperclips.

They can be helpful, but most of the time they're just annoying.

In my college speech class, my impromptu topic was the many uses of a paperclip. I did not come up with that many. Lol
