The pet peeve thread

[Motor City Sonics]

Pet Peeve is when I am in the middle of typing a post a pop up ad comes up and I have to exit out of it to get back to typing.  Can't wait until I'm done typing?    Annoying.

Not really a pet peeve, but my phone broke yesterday (drowned on a boating day), so I bought a new one from Verizon. Unfortunately, in order to activate the Sim Card, they sent a text to the old broken phone which I had no way of receiving, and I couldn't call Verizon without a functioning phone.

So the pet peeve is lack of common sense in authentication techniques.

LOL - I went through this with an early version of UM's "DUO" TFA. You could only add a new device while you still had your old device. They did fix it after a couple of years, but software developers are the only people in the world who get away with releasing products that are the equivalent of selling shirts missing a sleeve.

The father being called a hero for jumping overboard on the cruise ship to save his 5-year-old kid.  Nobody talks about the terrible parenting involved in letting a 5-year-old fall overboard in the first place.

When you order an appetizer first and then your meal, and they bring them all out at the same time.

This runs a close second to, you order a drink, they never bring it, toward the end of the meal you tell them that’s fine go ahead and kill the drink, they apologize for spacing out on it, and it shows up on the bill anyway. That one’s happened to me twice in the last month.
