Stupid Pet Peeves

When people in my twitter feed make comments with no reference as to what the comments are about. This often happens during sporting events, like they will tweet "Nice play!" or "Did you see that defense!" but without indicating the game or even sport. Without any other context I have no idea what game they were even watching, so the comments make no sense. Plus I only check twitter a couple of times a day, so I'm often reading these comments 8-12 hours after whatever game it was, has gotten over. It's annoying.

When other people’s poor planning and/or lack of communication leave them in a bind and they think that makes an emergency for me to fix it.

I was thinking this same thing earlier today.

When I was in high school I did a summer internship at NIST. The stock room there had this sign prominently on the wall: "LACK OF PLANNING ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EMERGENCY ON MY PART." That has stuck with me, and I'm very conscious now whenever I run into situations where my lack of planning means that others have to do extra work they weren't planning on, of being extra thankful to those individuals.

I mentioned this sign to someone recently and was contemplating printing one out and hanging it on my office door. I chickened out.

I agree to a certain extent, and it does make reading Twitter a bit annoying for those of us who only check this stuff once a day. However, my daily frustration in life is trying to teach my 81-year-old mother how to deal with Facebook. One of her pet peeves is why people post things ON THEIR OWN WALL that she doesn't understand. It has made me realize that neither she nor I need to grasp everything that is posted in the world.

Yeah, I just really started using it this year. Am liking a lot of things. Just not this pet peeve.

I started reading Twitter more because I find the Jazz players rather entertaining to follow.
 
Lost a tire on the way home from work tonight due to a lane splitting motorcycle. Moving at about 70, on a gentle curve, came up on a retread covering the narrow shoulder and sticking about 3 feet into my lane. I went to swerve around it, had plenty of room in my lane, until a bike cut between me and the guy next to me. I had to move back over to keep from hitting him and hit the piece of tread dead on. Popped my tire. Right on the shoulder of the tire. Can't patch it. Bought a new pair of tires. Yay.

If you are in Utah, that's not at all how lane splitting is legal. That sucks!

Your life would have been worse if you hit the bastard, his too probably.
