Pet Peeves

I?m set to inherit a fortune!
2008-06-04 21:55:00
Yep, like the title says, before long I’ll be rolling in the dough! I received an email this morning from the distinguished attorney for the estate of my late uncle Mogumbu Rouse. I never knew Uncle Mogumbu personally, but according to the email he was a rather wealthy prince in my ancestral homeland of Nigeria ...

Election Pet Peeves
2008-05-14 10:48:00
Election years always seem to bring out more pet peeves in me.  Probably because the annoyances and reminders are everywhere.  For instance, all those signs poking up everywhere ‘vote for this guy’ or whatever create a sea of plastic and print.  How hideous.  It’s not even like you can read 2″ print at 60mph ...SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Election Pet Peeves", url: "http://www.operationbob.com/20-08/05/14/election-pet-peeves/"- });
Pet Peeves About My Daily Commute
2008-05-08 00:44:00
I am a eco-friendly commuter. I ride Portland’s buses and our wonderful (if a bit pricey) Tri-met LightRail system. The entire time, I have a smug look of self-satisfaction plastered on my face, because I know I’m totally awesome for ditching my car. Okay, that last part isn’t necessarily true. That look I have on my ...

Changing the belt on our vacuum cleaner
2008-04-01 01:39:00
Have you ever noticed how some things that should be simple are often quite difficult? Take for instance the routine task of putting a new belt on our vacuum cleaner. You would think that after all these years the vacuum cleaner manufacturers would have devised a quick and easy way to change the belt, but ...

Pet Peeves No. 7
2008-03-14 20:57:00
This one has to do with books, and is threefold. First, poor bindings that crack and break after you've only read seventy pages; second, margins that are smaller than ¾-inch, because I like to make notes in the margins; and third, lousy paper that yellows far too quickly.Publishers, I'm more than willing to pay an extra $2 so that my book is not characterized by any of the above.(Rick, I can hear you agreeing emphatically.)technorati tags: books
Pet Peeves No. 6
2008-03-03 15:23:00
I have a particular disdain for the font Comic Sans MS. It's ugly and unprofessional. What is worse is when someone sends you an email in that font or blogs in that font and the font color is either blue or purple.Indeed, "the typeface has been used in countless contexts from restaurant signage to college exams to medical information. These widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built" [source].Please stop. It's just wrong.Join the campaign to ban Comic Sans.technorati tags: font comic sans
Pet Peeves No. 5
2008-03-02 04:50:00
While apartment living is just fine for me, there is one major drawback that affects a gearhead like me: it is very difficult to do any work on your own car.This means more often than not relying on the grease monkeys at your average oil change center to do an oil and lube service for you. Their service might be alright, but I cringe a little every time someone I don't know touches my car, and even more so when they politely ask you to wait in the waiting area, from which---and I suppose it is only a coincidence---you cannot see the service bay.Not being able to give the car the regular TLC it deserves frustrates me. I do not like to neglect my vehicle. It causes me great distress. She ought to have much better than that.technorati tags: oil change car automotive
Pet Peeves
2008-02-20 18:22:00
I've been tagged by Grey Horse Matters for a rather fun game of pet peeves. This is a good way of "sounding off" and not only fun, but good for the soul! So I will try and limit mine to five, although once I get rolling, who knows what may show up on this post. Muhahah! Some of this may be related to the blogosphere and some may not.1) And this first one is NOT related to any of my fellow bloggers that I've met and respect out here, but there have been places I have visited with many a follower who will leave a comment, but then hide behind a made-up profile that is not accessable. If you have a statement to make or an opinion, please have the "kahunas" to stand behind that opinion and don't just follow the leader and hide. 2) What I learned, especially when I first got back into horses eight years ago and I especially noticed this in the horse world, is that everyone is an expert........It amazes me, the number of "horse people" (self proclaimed experts) that really don't know ...
The high cost of inkjet printer ink
2008-02-18 03:51:00
This evening I did a little math and discovered that I pay approximately $108 for every ounce of colored ink that I use in my HP Deskjet 3910 printer. No, that’s not a typo, that precious ink really does cost a whopping $108 per ounce! You don’t believe me? Well, here’s the proof:   The 3910 uses ...
Those aggravating computer viruses
2008-01-18 04:43:00
Well, it has happened yet again. It seems like about once a month or so my work PC ends up catching a virus, a trojan horse, or some other piece of malware. Today it was a virus, and it was a particularly nasty one. First of all, it corrupted one of the most important Windows XP system files ...

As I was taking Houdini for his morning walk, I couldn’t help but notice that the side of the road that borders our long field was littered with dozens of bottles, cans, fast-food containers and various other pieces of garbage. During the summertime I clean up the roadside at least once a week so that ...

Car manufacturers: this is (almost) 2008. If you are still producing cars that do less than 30 miles per gallon (7.8L/100km or 12.8km/L) at highway speeds, it's not worth advertising. I don't know who works in your marketing department, but this is not 1980 anymore, and that kind of fuel mileage is not a selling point.technorati tags: 2008 fuel mileage automaker car manufacturer 30mpg

Employer Pet Peeves: An Indian PR Firm Perspective from the Corner Room
2007-12-08 07:03:00
As a sequel to last week's article this week I want to showcase the view from the wrong end or right end of the shotgun barrel, depending on your status in the food chain.In a business, that is slowly maturing there is yet lots of road to travel down the professional path. The resource crunch pandemic is becoming a reality, as is the case with all other businesses; PR Firm's too like every other enterprise are seeking to keep, up skill and attract new talent!The above is a regular star in the everyday nightmare of a business leader in a PR Firm. The other cast include Mergers, buyout led account re-alignment. The loss of people can mean a lost account, worse loss of reputation and making it further harder to retain and hire and get general traction.Employer pet peeves further include offer letter terrorism. This is any interesting phenomenon that involves swimming the job market and stacking offers. While everyone wants to offer their services at the best price, the mechanics invo...

Are PR Firms People Friendly; Employee Pet Peeves!
2007-11-29 19:50:00
This week I want to talk about the state of the PR firm business. Are PR firms people friendly?What are the latest trends in human resource development that qualify for being people friendly and enable organizations to retain and yet allow employees or consultants to be productive, despite challenges of everyday life like large commuting distances, family emergencies, medical exigencies, maternity, or even something as common as burnout!The record of PR firms in this regard has been rather poor I must confess. The report card on the other side of the table in buy side roles, whether in marketing or communications, has not been exactly inspiring either though there are instances of evolved organizations that have understood the benefits of such policies in retaining talent and keeping rare skills and IP (Intellectual Property) sticky despite the challenges that cycles of life pose to a typical employee.So what are these things that make everyday life easier, yours and mine too?Teleco...

In general, I try to be understanding of people. I know that not everyone is like me. It’s what makes the world cool. It’s what makes wacky sitcoms possible. But it’s also what makes me want to bite through a friggin plank of wood almost every darn day. I’m not a grammar ...

Thursday Thirteen #4: OUR Pet Peeves

I want to start by thanking all of you who took the time to comment on my pet peeves post! I'm definitely having a better day today than I was last week at this time.

1) When people don't wash their hands after using the toilet. 2) When complete strangers (frankly, anyone really!) touches my baby's hands. Those little hands go into her little mouth which then goes on me for her to eat. (This pet peeve made worse by pet peeve #1.) Think about it for a sec and you see why it's gross! 3)When people throw their cigarette butts out of their car window. 4)
Pet peeves
2007-08-13 05:53:00
"Pet peeve" is a terrible metaphor. Pets are warm and drooly and something you like. Peeves are something which irritates the hell out of you, sometimes to an unnatural extreme. What annoys me to an unnatural extreme? Tonight it's pinheads who have garages but instead park their cars on the sidewalk because they think they have a right to do so by virtue of having a legally protected curb cut. More often than not, they've converted their garages into attic extensions, packed full with boxes of Christmas decorations and forgotten bicycles. They have no intention of using those garages for their vehicles, which was mandatory for city approval of their curb cuts. Then there are those black belt twits who not only park on the sidewalk but park their second cars at the curb cut so pedestrians have to walk into the middle of the street to pass by. Or, worse, rent out their curb cuts as parking spaces. You just know they're the first to cry foul when someone crowds their driveway...
Pet Peeves of Buying Design Software

Is it just me that gets annoyed when buying design software? Why does it have to cost so much when if they sold it for a little less more people would buy it rather than copy it and pay nothing? Why does free and cheap software seem to come with far superior support than the software you ...
Top 10 Pet Peeves
