Stupid Pet Peeves

Sounds like you belong in the right lane. Move the **** over.
Technically, and legally, everyone belongs in the right lane, except to pass, then move back over again. But Americans can't be bothered to follow any such stupid rules just to let traffic flow better. It's all about my lane, and that's always always always the left lane.
 
Getting ghosted by recruiters especially after you have had final level interview and even on-site interviews with VPs and such. Just send a short note saying tough luck for you *******, you didn't get the job. How hard is that? ****ing assholes.

Internal recruiters or external?

Both. Usually external recruiters are good about following up. Lately I have been ghosted by both. But internal are far worse. They just let **** drop. I guess that is a clue that I wouldn't want to work for that company anyway, right? If they are that bad at following up that they cannot be bothered to send a quick thanks-but-no-thanks note to the 3 out of 4 candidates they brought to the building but didn't chose to hire. Can't be bothered to copy and paste 3 whole emails, amirite? Assholes.
 
Tell me you drive a lifted black F350 without telling me you drive a lifted black F350.
I’ve never driven a lifted vehicle in any way, shape, or form. I have no need to overcompensate for my peepee size. And I hate Fords, so there’s that, too.
I do drive a one ton truck, but that’s only because I have a big camping trailer that I pull. Tried pulling it with my 1/2 ton and it was not a pleasant experience. Literally nearly died.
But hey, way to douche out. Congrats.

I know the game and hate it. Either they are too lazy (busy) to care, or they are “saving face” for a month later when their first option backs out or quits and they have to call you and pretend you were the first option but they had “approval delays”.

That's terrible. The amount of ghosting in general these days is crazy. Kind of sad that phone calls have been taken over by one-way communication, which often turns into no communication.
 
I just went to the Xfinity website to pay my internet bill. Afterwards I got a text asking me "based on this interaction how likely are you to recommend Xfinity to friends and family. 0 is not likely at all 10 is very likely."

My response: 0

"Oh, we're sorry to hear that. Would you be willing to tell us why you selected 0?"

My response: Nobody recommends the cable company. It would be like me telling someone that I know a great company that they could use to get their mail delivered, the USPS. No one likes you.

"Did we resolve your issue"

My response: No
 
Just eat it. Most things are good way way past that date anyway. They purposely make that date way sooner than needed so if you get sick for any reason they can point to the silly expiration date and say, "see your milk was only good for 18 hours, and you drank it 3 whole days later, you deserve to die and it isn't our fault". Everything like that is driven by liability issues and to avoid frivolous lawsuits. In fact milk can be consumed entirely sour, it takes a good 2-3 weeks past the expiration for it to truly become "bad". We use milk that is turning to make our own yogurt in the instant pot. Just put in some milk, add a spoonful of plain greek yogurt and set it to yogurt setting and a day later we have more yogurt, which lasts a lot longer and tastes really good.
Speaking of frivolous lawsuits. This kind of **** is just ridiculous and the fact that the judge gave this any semblence of merit shows she should be disbarred. This kind of **** is a huge black eye on our justice system.
