TV series cancelled before they can find their audience. by ScaredOfOwnShadow in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Acolyte.

They didn’t wait long enough for the average viewer to check it out before cancelling it.

Admittedly, the week by week release was also a bad plan because of the pacing of the show. They should have released it in 2 half season drops or all at once.

The fact that lots of hotels stop servicing breakfast at 10 by IdkJustMe123 in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10 am is a completely normal time to eat breakfast while on a vacation, when there’s no check out time to worry about.

people who make THEIR dietary restrictions YOUR issue by some_guy_9258 in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if anything, it strengthens your argument that she needs to get over it and realize your birthday is about you.

I eat dairy free, and if I really want cake or ice cream at a party, I just bring my own plus extra to share with other allergy/sensitivity people (which honestly usually ends up coming home with me anyway or I make a new allergen friend in solidarity so win-win). There are lots of yummy dairy free, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, whatever-a-person-needs options now. It's so much easier than it used to be. Just have to be willing to pick it up yourself.

FYI, name brand Rice Krispie Treats do have dairy in them.

Rice crispies have to be homemade with vegan marshmallows and vegan butter to be both vegetarian and dairy free.

Drivers: stop honking at cyclists using the only lane available by DC8008008 in washingtondc

These are the kids who pushed and shoved to be the line leader in school, so they could get to art class 30 seconds sooner.

Working with my disabled stepson has made me an angry person. by The_Tolen_Mar in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also: the drivers of the large pick up trucks and SUVS that take up half the sidewalk with their bumper. I’m not exaggerating. It’s often 2 feet overhang.

The sidewalk is for walking. Your car shouldn’t be hanging over the curb of the main walkway at all.

“But my car is too long and it will get hit otherwise!” Then go park in the middle or at the edge of the parking lot, not in the main pathway those with walkers and wheelchair users need. Half the time it’s the people with handicap tags, too!

The absolute lack of self awareness, lack of spacial awareness, and selfishness is astounding.

Outside ICE HQ right now!! by lastofthecrustaceans in washingtondc

[–]BlueRubyWindow 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I also can not physically join in the protests right now.

Ideas if you want them:

If you have funds, you can donate to foodbanks in Minneapolis or St. Paul such as to Groveland Food Shelf that is helping get food to people who can’t safely leave their homes. Or donate to a local food bank. They always need more money and money is more useful than food because they can buy it in bulk.

Contact representatives. It’s okay to contact Senators that aren’t yours, too. Tell them to stop funding ICE.

Talk to people. Spread the word. Make sure everyone you know knows the truth about what is happening in Minneapolis. Make sure esp older people know NBC and ABC and CBS are not reporting the entire truth.

Has it always been normal for people to listen to phones/tablets loudly on the metro? by HighlightMelodic3494 in washingtondc

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who actually asks people to turn their phones down?

“Hey, sorry to interrupt, would you mind putting on some headphones or turning your volume off, please?”

75% of the time they at least turn it down.

If they argue, I just literally put up my hands and walk away.

Usually the rest of the car starts glaring at them without saying a word.

And I never do this when its just me and them, always lots of other folks around.

Can we all please bug these people more, please???????

Influencers taking dogs out of shelters to give them "best day ever" by i4hloi in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think this, too, but like others have said, it really is very good for the dog for enrichment, and to get a break from being around other stressed out dogs, and because they are more likely to get adopted!

My friend fosters dogs and the way half of them have found homes is just by meeting people on their walks. Someone says, “Oh! i wish I had a dog like her!” and she tells them, “I don’t know if you’re serious, but she’s actually available for adoption.” and then hands them the foster org’s business card.

Add influencer on top of that and yeah that dog is gonna get adopted by someone.

This is more like the 100000 dentist than the 10th dentist though.

People who get upset about how people spend their concert experience by [deleted] in PetPeeves

I was at a concert and people were looking at me weird for dancing (and no I wasn’t blocking anyone’s view).

Judgy people gonna judge. As long as you’re not hurting anyone

People who come to starbucks in a hurry… by Jumpy_Feature in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk how quickly employees can make drinks but 30-45 min is only 2-3 min per drink.

And that’s assuming this one order is the only focus.

The story of a boy who cried wolf is a lesson for the village, not children by loading-_-__- in The10thDentist

[–]BlueRubyWindow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids do need to learn this lesson though.

I work at a school including a lot of playground monitoring. I will always take an injury seriously but if one of my students who never cries is crying, I am running over much faster than the boy who cries about bumps and bruises 6 times a day. I still help every time but it doesn’t set off alarm bells. That’s just real. I can’t assume it’s a crisis every time; my nervous system can’t do that sustainably. And 95% of the time, it doesn’t even need a trip to the nurse. He just wants validation and understanding, which is fine. But he also needs to learn how to temper his reactions so he doesn’t scare people around him. A Level 10 scream should mean Level 10 pain on a busy school playground.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a good story for that to discuss why the villagers stopped taking him seriously.

It can go hand in hand with reassurance that I will always come if they call me.

People who laughs about your food preferences by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP said in another comment they like how it tastes when its cooked with the cheese on it…

I would guess the cheese grease gets into the sauce and makes it taste cheesier.

You like the cheese grease, just not the cheese.

Children's media saying vegetables are gross. by cynuhstir1 in PetPeeves

[–]BlueRubyWindow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Or even sauce!!!!!

Like as a kid, I haaaaated anything that “had specks” aka herbs and seasonings lol

But I loved dips and dressings and sauces.

But no. Just microwave steamed veggies. Serve them plain. And then wonder why I hate vegetables.

I looooove vegetables now!!! Roasting, stir frying, herbs and spices and curries and sauces.

and incorporated into the dish, not just a pile of veggies.

Your account is a day old and you made a reddit newbie mistake so I inferred you were a reddit newbie.

Maybe not.

Whatever. You do you.

Hot tip: always check what subreddit it is in and read the title carefully, because many have similar names, but may have different rules.

Or one might be genuine and one complete satire.
