@Huzuruth Try Mansions of Madness. It's Arkham Horror meets Heroquest, and I dig it enough I plan to get all the expansions. There's no random choice of antagonist player.

Pregnant women who can't talk or post about anything else. Ever. I don't need 10 status updates daily about your pregnant ass or your pregnant diabetic woes. You did both of these things on purpose to yourself.

@Luna, I don't even need access to youtube to link this.

I knew exactly what that video would be before clicking on it.

I'm usually pretty good at pretending I care about this stuff, or at least tuning it out. It only raged me last year, when one of my coworkers was pregnant, and every fucking Wednesday meeting for two months inevitably had to involve a 10-minute digression on her fetus before anything got done. These meetings are annoying anyway, since they grind work to a halt and mainly exist to justify the existence of our managers, but this made them unbearable.

Tangent Peeve: When I was pregnant last... having everybody and their brother asking about how its progressing, how I feel, if the baby is kicking, etc. every time they saw me. And FFS, do not touch the pregnant lady belly!!! I don't like being touched by strangers in the best of circumstances, let alone when I'm far enough into a pregnancy that people want to touch the belly.

Wrist locks are pretty easy to learn. The tough part to getting them right is knowing where and how your attacker's hand will be positioned.

[Miss Demeanor]

I don't need wrist locks, I need people to respect my right to not be touched when I don't want to be.

RL Peeve: Dudes that run at the urinal next to me with their dick in their hand before they get to a point of privacy behind that divider that separates the urinals.

I could see how that would be somewhat unsettling, but I also have to wonder why were you looking in the general area of another dude's dick if you didn't want to see dick? That one seems like blame could be shared.

What...? There I was, minding my own business and giving my business that last shake before zipping up and turning out of the "stall" when old "holds his dick while he runs" comes barreling at me full speed. I was the VICTIM HERE MAN!

[TNP]

All of a sudden I can't help thinking of that line from The Cell Block Tango: '"And then he ran into my knife.. He ran into my knife ten times."

[Olsson]

@ThatOneDude ran into his dick. He ran into his dick ten times?

[Luna]

I had a coworker who would start unfastening her pants as she crossed the office. Like...what? It was the weirdest thing.

Th-that's a thing that happens? Humans are so strange...

I didn't know it was a thing until yesterday, but, I have seen people do what @Luna said... Ohhhh, maybe they are the same type of person. Out at the cube the buckle is undone and in the space between the cube and toilet the button(s) / zipper is undone and BAM! Dick in hand pre-privacy barrier...

But I'm curious if this is actually worse than the dude that comes and takes up a place right next to you when there are 3+ other urinals open... More so when its the type without the privacy wall/pee shield.

When you use a schedule based bus service that's point to point (they pick you up at your house, take you to your destination and drop you off) so you have a set time to be picked up (in this case, 8:20PM) and they're over half an hour late because Reasons, and you are just expected to suck it up. Of course, if you're 10 minutes late they can just declare you a no-show and leave you.

They know that their customers have no alternatives. It shows.

Going into the season where I REALLY wish that I could ask people to leave the library if they haven't had a bath in the last week. Particularly since we have a lot of Amish patrons. I get it, it's planting season & farming is sweaty work but when you've done hours of field work, over several days, and come into the library to use the computers in a public space for whatever reason - if you smell so strongly that it forces other people to leave, or at least put a significant distance between themselves and you... Just no.

[The Tree of Woe]

Hahahah. Smelly library patrons. That takes me back.

What?! The Amish use the computers?
