@JustBetweenUs you could try unscrewing it, and holding on to the straw part tightly while you turn the top pump part. This is what worked for me when I had a pump that was locked!
I can only speak for the restaurant i work in, but we don’t actually hold specific tables for reservations. It’s a high volume restaurant so we use priority seating rather than assigning specific tables. If a majority of your party isn’t here, it’s our policy to not seat you bc of the chance of the rest of the party not showing up and then your party is at the wrong size table. It also helps the servers bc the time they spend waiting on a partially seated table that just has drinks could better be served by turning over a table that gets a whole meal.
When people waive you to go even though they have the right of way - not only is it annoying but it is dangerous because they’re not abiding by the same rules as everyone else.
Totally!!! I don't even count that one as petty because it is legitimately dangerous if its a multi lane road! Safety is paramount when you are piloting thousands of pounds of glass plastic and steel
When I mention something that I like in small talk (a movie, a band) and someone’s first response is “OH I hate that!” And start ranting about how much they dislike this thing I just said I enjoyed. Like what are we doing here, you could have just kept that to yourself, or even been less openly against my interests
I always take that as an opportunity to get a different perspective and ask them why they like the thing. In a way that it sounds like I've never have heard about it.
I dont have this problem as much cos I don't work in an office anymore but ooooooh did it grind my gears finding used tissue in the recycling bins. Feels so stupid. What do u think they can make out of your snot tissue that's gonna disintegrate second it touches anything ?!?!
My biggest one is bad cell service. It’s 2024 and I can’t get a single bar in my apartment?? In metropolitan Los Angeles??? I still can’t send a text on the subway?! WHAT AGE OF DARKNESS ARE WE LIVING IN???
To end a conversation in the Midwest you say “welp” slap your hands on the top of your thighs and make an excuse usually involving a spouse. Then spend an additional 30 minutes saying goodbye. Welp. *slaps thighs* I gotta get home for kiddo’s bed time.
* One belt hole being too tight, and the other too loose. * Reaching for something in the dark, not finding it, end up having to have to turn on the lights and hurt your eyes to find it, and then realize you were only 10cm off. * People who do not remove hangnails / skin peelings around their nails / dirt under their nails. * Any user interface on any piece of software ever. O wait you said small.
@@InsoIence th-cam.com/video/HfHgUu_8KgA/w-d-xo.html Mixer taps used to be heavily regulated to prevent contamination. But, yeah, separate taps is annoying.
Thaaaank you for mentioning the the ongoing pandemic and the bird flu I could probably tall for 12 minutes on bathroom design alone. You know what public bathroom doors I love? The ones that have a little thing that you can hook your foot on and open it that way. Or! When there's an automatic door opening button - amazing
I’m often the person who doesn’t provide much in a conversation, because I get nervous about it and then my head blanks and I can’t think of anything to talk about. Sorry Gabe!
I second this! 😭 Sometimes I get so anxious I don't even know what to ask, I feel like all of the questions that pop up in my head will sound stupid out loud I just end up not saying or asking anything and people will think I'm stuck-up. pls help.
My mental processing can be really sluggish, especially in overwhelming situations, so I’m often pretty terrible at conversations unfortunately. Hopefully no one thinks I’m pulling a power move 😅 (What power would I get from that??)
Also, though, perspective from someone who used to work as a hostess in a fancy/trendy restaurant in ny: it’s partly a power trip thing, but mostly a matter of keeping as many seats filled and churning people out as quickly as possible. (We didn’t take reservations tho.) I hated enforcing the policy bc people would complain so much, but the argument is that if you’re waiting for people, your table is gonna take way longer, and/or they might not show up and leave an empty seat. In some fairness, that might’ve been necessary what with like, New York rent prices, but for some restaurants the “every seat has to be full at all times/we gotta turn over as many tables as possible” thing is no joke. I remember a big part of my job would also be walking around the restaurant, sneakily taking note of how far along tables would be in their meal, so I could note it to the other hostesses and we could plan the flow out. I felt so creepy lol I did not last there.
Restaurant answer (ive worked in a million different restaurants from family style/sports pubs/fine dining): with reservations, if its a party of 1-3/4 people, usually if the table is set the hosts will ask if you want to sit or wait for your guests. If its a party 4-10+, a lot of restaurants will want to wait for the whole party. ~in general~ 1. Hosts give tables to servers based on their section/assigned tables. Its one thing if a 4 top goes down to 3people. Sometimes (depending on the restaurant), if its a larger party servers will have to split parties. Say the double server policy cut off is more than 8ppl, u have a reservation for 10, 3 cant make it. That means the party goes down to 1 server and the other just lost out on time& tables. 2. Parties are just a alot in general on the system. Especially in nicer restaurants, when you order 9 drinks, you expect to have the 9 drinks all come out at the same time (or customers get upset). There is a lot of communication that goes on between staff to make a successful visit for all customers, but theyre all getting theyre timing right. Its a lot harder logistically on the inside.
For public restrooms, it makes sense that the paper towels would be near the sinks and door. Also makes sense for there to be a bin near the door anyway since people wipe their hands as they're leaving. I haven't come across this issue (yet) but it's really odd that there are places where that's not how it is.
Restaurants won’t seat you til the whole party arrives because it is a pain in the ass to serve those early people, even just getting water. People from the party slowly trickling making you have to go grab a water every 4 minutes. Much easier and organized to get everyone started at the same time especially for large parties. Even folks who are like “don’t worry I won’t order anything” 90% of the time will ask for servers attention
i know everyone always complains about this and i doubt it will ever change, but it just gets on my nerves that like 15% of people in LA/SoCal use a turn signal. driving here is a nightmare sometimes
fun engineering fact: some doors can be difficult to open due to the balance of air pressure on either side. if you’re trying to pull open a door into a building and it feels super heavy, it could be because the building was designed with a negative pressure air handling system. more air is pulled out of the building than is pushed into it, so it makes the air pressure in the building slightly negative. this can cause a sealed door to be “suctioned” closed, so you’re having to pull the weight of the door, and exert extra force to break the suction on the door.
Very true! They are correct about it being an accessibility issue too. Sometimes the gap under an interior door is used as a return, but we have design guidelines to increase the gap according to the amount of air so that there isn't a great pressure difference on the door.
related to the lotion pump thing - when cleaning spray bottles stop working but there's still cleaner in them! so now i have to dump cleaner onto a paper towel bc i don't want to waste the last bit - bane of my existence
Kind of same as Gabe's but opposite when you can't get a word in. Met a new person and all they wanted to do was dump in their job and didnt ask me a single question.
I spent the week at an improv intensive with people who were just comfortable with silence. It was wild. I have had ridiculously personal conversations with strangers today, because chatting was keeping me sane. Current pet Peeves (after a flight delay), people getting angry and others for things they can't control. Also flight delays. So I'm an enigma.
as a former hostess in LA, we would only seat partial groups if they knew the server would wait to take food orders until the whole group arrived.. If we didn't inform people, some would get upset that the server didn't take their dinner order as soon as they sat down. And as a former salon receptionist, bumble and bumble's liter bottle pumps do NOT reach the bottom and we wasted so much time draining the last 15% of product into the next bottle.
People who need to insert themselves into every topic of conversation even if they have nothing to say. I had a colleague who when I was stating something I knew as a fact in a conversation with someone else had to insert himself with "oh, I know nothing about this thing" as if to say "I'm sorry I can't fact check you". Thanks for nothing, just be silent and also I don't need your potential knowledge that you don't have, I know, I was stating a fact!
When people don't walk on the same side of the sidewalk as the direction of traffic in the respective country. When people don't pull their cart over to the side, while they are browsing the aisle. When a parent walks with their child on the outer side of the sidewalk, instead of keeping the kid away from the road. I think I just don't like the way in which people move around.
In the UK a lot of people park their cars halfway on the pavement (sidewalk) because our roads are narrow. It really bothers me when cars park so far onto the pavement that its difficult to get around it. I'm able-bodied but it annoys me because if its difficult for me its going to be even worse for someone in a wheelchair or with a pram (stroller). Also, when people have empty driveways but then still park on the road it enrages me. It makes it more difficult to drive down the road. Just park on your drive!
an incomplete list of my petty annoyances: - jewelry that is lighter than it looks. as in it looks like it would weigh a certain amount, only to discover that it is less - mug to handle ratios that make it a little more uncomfortable to hold the mug by the handle - the unequal usage rate between shampoo and conditioner - widgets on tech devices. like microsoft why the fuck did you move the like "home" button and make it a widget button that separately needs to be signed into???? (a recent add-on to the list as of today)
I’ve witnessed someone give absolutely nothing in a conversation and it was almost comical. Person 1: Do you have any siblings? Person 2: Yes. ……. ……. ……. (this happened multiple times over the course of a group vacation)
I'm not _great_ at holding a conversation but I feel like there's LEVELS to it, like some people will give me a lot and I can just have a conversation with them and keep it up, but some people will give me NOTHING either and then I'll be lost
Mine is when the plastic bag is so fragile that you can't open the Ziploc part without ripping the bag. Plastic bag making 101 should teach you that the force required to open the bag should be less than the force required to tear it. But nope, they're too cheap. Big annoyance for me.
Or the bag doesn’t rip but the ziplock comes off the bag 😢 why does my packaged cheese do this to me sometimes. Like glue that zip into the bag harder!!
I just ran into an old friend who indicated they wanted to catch up. I asked questions and know a lot about how they are doing.... They didn't ask me a single question.
Oh no! It's not that we are trying a power move on you giving you nothing in a conversation, it's only that our (my 😬) brain switches of when people talk to us (me). I'm trying, I swear , I'm trying!! [ And, oh no, I'm not comfortable in silence, I'm dieing inside with a smile on my face]
The reason for not letting you sit is mostly consistency. Y'all had it pretty close with the "the restaurant doesn't want people to trickle in and order on a weird order" The restaurant want to tell a reservation of 6 one thing and a reservation of 8 another. But usually when there is a reservation(depending on size of the table, and skill of the host / hostess/ management) they plan the seating order and cadence and the restaurant will run much better and efficiently if every reservation arrives together and the chefs and bar are able to prepare (mentally or otherwise) for each order that's coming in
Love that all but two, maybe three, are accesability issues, have you heard of cut kerb disability theory? Also my petty annoyance is omelettes, they’re just shit scrambled eggs, they have the mouthfeel of a dish sponge,and everyone says “oh you’ve just not had mine” then if you give in and try it’s just the same as the other omelettes lol
Same with British peoples vegetarian or vegan stew, but everyone’s like “but MINE is good you’ll like it” and it’s just sage water and beans, when I didn’t eat meat I just didn’t eat stew, even meat stews are way down my list, just put it in a blender and give me a soup plz!
I kind of dislike it when someone in front of me holds a door for me lol Like I understand they're being nice but usually it ends up with me trying to get to the door quickly to not make them waste their time. Or if Im close behind them, I have to hold my hand out before they let go cause some doors close really fast. It makes me think more so I have no issue with people not holding the door for me lol Unless my hands are heavy then thats very kind of them to do.
I live in Sweden and the whole not seating you until your entire party arrives has NEVER happened to me, I would be so confused and annoyed if that happened haha! Maybe it's an american culture thing? Sounds bananas!
My small annoyance is when someone uses false/incorrect information they saw online about a movie/show/celeb as a reason why they dislike it/to mock it. Like, you're 100% allowed to dislike whatever you want for whatever reason! Be a hater! Whatever! But seeing posts where someone is like I dislike this movie because they used a robot in one of the scenes when they didn't or I dislike this celebrity because they punched an old lady when they didn't annoys the beans out of me. And then they get weird when you try to correct the info so it's just something I stew in then rant to my friend about later lol.
Heavy Dorrs ARE SO ANNOYING hahahhahaha. (And here we enter the pyshcokogu behind Interior Design... 🤣) They SHOULDN't be heavy is the thing. (Unless like you metnioned.. a bank vault and FOR A REASON AHHAHA.) But they shoullllldn't BE heavy it's just bad design / bad ergonomics. 🤣😂
Allison I can't believe you're taking it out on the cleaning crew because the management/host of whatever bathroom you're in hasn't put a trashcan near the door! Just take the paper towel outside with you until you find a trashcan like a considerate person.
stepping into a wet patch on the floor when you´re only wearing socks. also more broadly, wet socks. marketers calling me and asking me what my name is (this might not be a U.S. but it happens in Spain where I live). Like, excuse me sir, you called me! Drivers not using indicators, and then they would tell you that other drivers know what lane they're on, but you know pedestrians can't and also, it's the law! I'm sorry but paper straws. Any type of bank fees - you literally make money by keeping my money are you telling me you need these 2 euro so that your little mom and pop operation aka international financial institution won't go under? I just want to withdraw some money and/or I am legally required to have A bank account or I won't get my salary how dare you charge me for having one? people not picking up dog's poop. it's just rude. people cutting the line. loud phone conversations on the public transport (Spain might be a global leader there), not uncommonly on the loudspeaker. people bringing their Bluetooth speakers to a public beach and blasting their bad music loudly (no, sure I am not here to hear the waves crashing and the seagulls, i am here to hear you listen to bad bunny). people not keeping quiet in saunas. people using their phones in dark theatres (during a movie, a classical music concert, a play - i've seen in it happen at all of these), literally thousand of people can see you use your phone, it's dark in here for a reason!
Talking in the cinema or actively using your phone the whole time is an annoyance that some might call petty but I don't think it is. Why are you even there? At the very least, go sit all the way at the back. With bringing babies and young kids to movies not appropriate for them - I think some parents just think the kid doesn't know what's happening and won't remember it? Still, I don't think there's a good excuse for it.

oh good for you Gabe, you care about mugs. I live in a two-bedroom house with dogs /s hahaha
Oh no! It's not that we are trying a power move on you giving you nothing in a conversation, it's only that our (my 😬) brain switches of when people talk to us (me). I'm trying, I swear , I'm trying!! [ And, oh no, I'm not comfortable in silence, I'm dieing inside with a smile on my face]
The reason for not letting you sit is mostly consistency.
Y'all had it pretty close with the "the restaurant doesn't want people to trickle in and order on a weird order"
The restaurant want to tell a reservation of 6 one thing and a reservation of 8 another. But usually when there is a reservation(depending on size of the table, and skill of the host / hostess/ management) they plan the seating order and cadence and the restaurant will run much better and efficiently if every reservation arrives together and the chefs and bar are able to prepare (mentally or otherwise) for each order that's coming in
people who give NOTHING when you’re just trying to be social are such hard work 😂😂😂
As a Jew this felt very Jewish lol
excellent content
Honestly I'd be down for an episode making fun of conspiracy theories
Allison I think I know the doors you’re talking about, the USC Cinema doors- WHY ARE THEY SO HEAVY! It serves absolutely no purpose!! So annoying!!
The worst!!
People who beg for forgiveness later instead of asking permission first. That is so controlling, manipulative and disrespectful.
the reservation thing is weird i dont think that happens in the uk!
Love that all but two, maybe three, are accesability issues, have you heard of cut kerb disability theory?
Also my petty annoyance is omelettes, they’re just shit scrambled eggs, they have the mouthfeel of a dish sponge,and everyone says “oh you’ve just not had mine” then if you give in and try it’s just the same as the other omelettes lol
Same with British peoples vegetarian or vegan stew, but everyone’s like “but MINE is good you’ll like it” and it’s just sage water and beans, when I didn’t eat meat I just didn’t eat stew, even meat stews are way down my list, just put it in a blender and give me a soup plz!
I have never related to anything more than I do to Allison's complaints about public bathrooms.
whoaaaaa Allison does sound like Jordan Peterson lowkey lmfao
lol
I kind of dislike it when someone in front of me holds a door for me lol Like I understand they're being nice but usually it ends up with me trying to get to the door quickly to not make them waste their time. Or if Im close behind them, I have to hold my hand out before they let go cause some doors close really fast. It makes me think more so I have no issue with people not holding the door for me lol Unless my hands are heavy then thats very kind of them to do.
I live in Sweden and the whole not seating you until your entire party arrives has NEVER happened to me, I would be so confused and annoyed if that happened haha! Maybe it's an american culture thing? Sounds bananas!
why is your baby in bad boys 2
My small annoyance is when someone uses false/incorrect information they saw online about a movie/show/celeb as a reason why they dislike it/to mock it. Like, you're 100% allowed to dislike whatever you want for whatever reason! Be a hater! Whatever! But seeing posts where someone is like I dislike this movie because they used a robot in one of the scenes when they didn't or I dislike this celebrity because they punched an old lady when they didn't annoys the beans out of me. And then they get weird when you try to correct the info so it's just something I stew in then rant to my friend about later lol.
International problem made me miss 🎶international question international question international question🎶 mark from Sweden
Heavy Dorrs ARE SO ANNOYING hahahhahaha. (And here we enter the pyshcokogu behind Interior Design... 🤣) They SHOULDN't be heavy is the thing. (Unless like you metnioned.. a bank vault and FOR A REASON AHHAHA.) But they shoullllldn't BE heavy it's just bad design / bad ergonomics. 🤣😂
Allison I can't believe you're taking it out on the cleaning crew because the management/host of whatever bathroom you're in hasn't put a trashcan near the door! Just take the paper towel outside with you until you find a trashcan like a considerate person.
Welp I haven’t been here in years and things have certainly changed.
stepping into a wet patch on the floor when you´re only wearing socks. also more broadly, wet socks. marketers calling me and asking me what my name is (this might not be a U.S. but it happens in Spain where I live). Like, excuse me sir, you called me! Drivers not using indicators, and then they would tell you that other drivers know what lane they're on, but you know pedestrians can't and also, it's the law! I'm sorry but paper straws. Any type of bank fees - you literally make money by keeping my money are you telling me you need these 2 euro so that your little mom and pop operation aka international financial institution won't go under? I just want to withdraw some money and/or I am legally required to have A bank account or I won't get my salary how dare you charge me for having one? people not picking up dog's poop. it's just rude. people cutting the line. loud phone conversations on the public transport (Spain might be a global leader there), not uncommonly on the loudspeaker. people bringing their Bluetooth speakers to a public beach and blasting their bad music loudly (no, sure I am not here to hear the waves crashing and the seagulls, i am here to hear you listen to bad bunny). people not keeping quiet in saunas. people using their phones in dark theatres (during a movie, a classical music concert, a play - i've seen in it happen at all of these), literally thousand of people can see you use your phone, it's dark in here for a reason!

those hand dryers only spread your germs everywhere if you DIDN'T USE SOAP
Haven't watched a video from this channel in years...hollyyyy, what happened lool
gabe's a man now, and i think allison had some relationship issue but she's married now
also they have a podcast
forking is hella gay❤
Talking in the cinema or actively using your phone the whole time is an annoyance that some might call petty but I don't think it is. Why are you even there? At the very least, go sit all the way at the back. With bringing babies and young kids to movies not appropriate for them - I think some parents just think the kid doesn't know what's happening and won't remember it? Still, I don't think there's a good excuse for it.
Ok but are we talking about…beige flags today?
I hate it when people breath too loudly. Please stop. Thank you.
Why do we dislike this guy, Jordan Peterson? Is he a Gabe ex?
😂 he's an alt right figurehead who talks about [nonsense] "philosophy" that says that Conservative talking points are biologically ordained [which is why we have to...enforce them...hmmm]
He's an all kinds of cuckoo internet personality. The type to hang out with Musk and Trump.
Is Jordan Peterson Gabe’s ex is so funny to me 😂
You're looking good allison, keep up the weight loss! As for the fake dude "it" next to you.. LOL!!!!
