Which is why I refuse to update any apps or software. The amount of frustration that came with the alterations made to iTunes for the release of Apple Music. Sure they have a new streaming service, but they made it twice as difficult to listen to and organize music that I OWN.

Offline ^Quite a lot of the time updates are for security reasons i.e. something was identified that could be breached.
Yes it’s a pain in the ass to have stuff change around but the recommendation would be to keep things updated.
Least it’s not as bad as Windows 10 which forces updates on you, you can’t avoid them.

Offline Random updates are the worst. I’d hope they warn you.
I also have to both manually update and face auto updates.
If I don’t update, my security app goes wonky.

When people don’t proofread their sh*t before submitting it to a peer review… 
They can’t just expect us to fix it for them! It’s a peer review, not full-on editing!
I have a suspicion the professor gave me the most difficult paper to review because I said was looking forward to the peer-reviewing… I swear this person whose essay it is my task to make sense of did not even proofread her essay before submitting it. At all. Run-ons, misplaced semicolons, silly slip-ups that a quick glance over would have solved… the only thing it doesn’t have is comma splices! Plus the whole thing is terribly awkwardly worded.
Ah well, I’ll just have to take a sad essay and make it better 
It made me feel much better to print the paper, take a coloured pen, and mark it all over with snarky editorial comments before giving it a D 
and then, having got it out of my system, I tactfully filled out the standard peer review form.

Offline In re: my above rant — for the love of Floyd, you people out there, don’t use semicolons in the place of commas. Or commas to denote pauses because your sentence has run on so.

Offline When someone leaves a hallway light on. It really bothers me for some reason.
And when someone doesn’t capitalise properly. No, that random word is not a proper noun, and yes, after that particular form of punctuation you do need to capitalise the first letter of the next word.

Offline I agree, especially when the obscenity is an important part of the song, such as in Longview when Green Day end the first 2 choruses with shit in a melodic way that you can’t censor out without ruining the song. I also hate when people use these “kid friendly” alternatives to bad words like f, s, fudge, fork, duck, shoot, arse, etc. either say the word or don’t, don’t try to make up stupid sounding alternatives. If you’re going to use alternatives to bad words, use words like hell, rear, turd, hiney, and other actual kid friendly alternatives that don’t mean bad words but can be used in place of them.
If you're reading this, you are looking for something to do.

Offline I’m fine with alternates, I myself never swear and instead say ‘fridge, hedge, tarter sauce etc.
My problem is when people decided to use swear words but censor it like F*idge. If your gonna swear, swear otherwise don’t. Don’t do this wishy washy swearing.

Offline Has this pet peeve ever happened to you at the supermarket deli (usually when there is only one worker)?
You are next in line to get service.
The person ahead of you orders a half pound of smoked ham.
You think “Great! I’m about to get service!”
Deli worker slices and packages the ham.
Deli worker asks “Anything else”?
“Yes, a half pound of cheddar cheese”.
You think “Great! I’m about to get service!”
Deli worker slices and packages the cheese.
Deli worker asks “Anything else”?
“Yes, a half pound of hard salami”.
You think “Great! I’m about to get service!”
Deli worker slices and packages the salami.
Deli worker asks “Anything else”?
“Yes, a medium size tub of German potato salad”.
You think “Great! I’m about to get service!”
Deli worker fills the tub with potato salad.
Deli worker asks “Anything else”?
“Yes, a pound of …”
You give up and leave.
There’s got to be a better way to fill large orders!

Offline The fact that clothes sizes in so many stores have gotten bigger. It’s near impossible to find a pair of pants or a skirt in my size. Even the smallest sizes in a lot of the stores I shopped at in middle school are too big on me (I am definitely bigger than I was when I was twelve). I heard that Zara’s sizing is smaller than American stores, but even their XS is too big. Why is it so hard to find XXS or 000? Americans have gotten fat and all the regular sized people are suffering because of it. ):

XXsmall is definitely not a normal person size (even excluding overweight people). But maybe it is and I’m just hugely obese at a size 8 and I haven’t noticed
