My wife and daughter have thick, long, luxurious hair. I have short receding hair. How is it my responsibility to clean the long, luxurious hair out of the tub drain once every couple of months?PensFanInDC wrote:There are 15 items in our shower. 3 of them are mine.

Amen brother. I just paid a small fortune because my sewer was clogged up with tampons and backed up into the basement. 3 women in the house & none of them will admit to flushing them.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
The changing pronunciations of words that have long been accepted.
i.e. The country of Qatar used to be pronounced "Kuh-TAR" now it's "Cutter".
Just saw a commercial where the windmills for air energy were referred to as wind "turbans" vs "turbines".
I know there are others, but those are two I encountered this morning.

Oddly specific peeve, but you nailed "Cutter".

As a power generation industry professional, I can confirm that "turban" is the industry accepted pronounciation and has been for at least 12 years. Peeve or not.blackjack68 wrote:The changing pronunciations of words that have long been accepted.

Or the news sketches from Out of Control?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
There always seem to be one or two of these people in every department/team. Two of my last managers have done this but usually they did it when they were out most of the workweek or slammed with meetings nearly every day. I didn't get why regular staff would remote in and pound out three or four emails every Sunday. Just wait until Monday especially because the emails weren't mission critical.PghSkins wrote:Getting requests for every day garden variety meetings over the weekend. Hey, if there's some problem over the weekend, it's my job to get involved, but don't make me think about the day to day on a Saturday afternoon.

And it's not like I'm asking for a call/meeting actually on a sat or sun, if that's what was meant.

The Weather Channel was purchased by NBC which is owned by Comcast, which explains how crappy TWC is now.

I use Wunderground on my phone for current weather info, but prefer to have the forecasts from someone else which is how I end up at weather.com
