I'm on a roll today. This time my pet hate is how the NFL's "Deflate-gate" is somehow national news worthy of being on CNN when a pack of radical militants (presumably Al Qai'da) captured the capital city of Yemen (San'aa), which is on the southern border of Saudi Arabia. I swear, bringing SKYNET online seems like a better and better plan as the days pass...

I think it's ridiculous in general how the news seems to devote equal time to world events and sports. Priorities, people.
Also, I've grown a beard for the first time. I can't drink without getting shit caught on my lip and whatnot. It's awful. I'm probably gonna shave tomorrow.

Dude, don't ditch the beard. Just take some more time to get used to it.

Yeah, Glow. It's like, 80% of the fun of having a beard is getting stuff caught in it. My mustache pwns for that.

A couple of work related ones for me.
people who order off menu. I'm not talking about a minor modification, but actually altering an item so far off it's origin that it's basically a whole new item. Piss off and order your damn salad/pizza/pasta/sandwich and pick off the shit you don't want ffs or better yet make yourself.
Servers who can't seem to communicate a guests mod in fewer than 50 words in the middle of a hard meal rush (they should be talking to the expo anyway but sometimes the jump the queue and badger us direct). this grinds me to a halt to listen to the long drawn out story about why the guest wants it a way when all I need to hear is sauce on side hold the tomatoes.
guests who arrive with 30 of their friends with no call ahead at any time and are bitches about us not being ready for them. You did not decide with 30 of your friends less than 20 minutes ago where you are eating so one of you shits has a wireless phone, call ahead and get the table set up.

EDIT:
I am morally opposed to the beard and only an idiot would grow one.

Well Glow, it's official: if Buch and I agree on the beard, then it should stay.

EDIT: I am morally opposed to the beard and only an idiot would grow one. OI! That's dirty pool, mate, editing your post only because I agreed with you.

Applied for a bunch of jobs recently, and I didn't make it to the interview stage at any of them.
So yeah, whatever you do, don't spend the years of your life after your unsuccessful years at college being bedridden with depression and anxiety. I'm 25 and I'm still jobless, single, and without a car. Living the millennial loser American dream, baby. Hoorah.
Guess it's another night of getting horrendously drunk off what remains of the trust fund, since I have fuck-all else to do. Cheers!

Trust fund? *Stabs Cali in his sleep*
I'm 28.5, and I have only just now got into my chosen profession...
Don't let the American Dream get you down. Life is what you make of it.

If it helps, I know the feels Cali. And I'm a dinosau-Belgian. Yes. Seriously contemplating trying me luck in England....
Edit; I;m pretty sure Buch HAS a beard...or what's supposed to go for one.

Okay, so new pet hate: people who claim "it isn't plagiarism if the original is not protected by copyright".
I swear to God, I was PMing someone on fanfiction.net who was positing that for real.

*facepalm* It's not "intellectual property theft/piracy" (you know, actual felonies that get you ten years in prison) if it's not copywrighted, but plagiarism is still plagiarism.
