The receipt idea would require an overhaul of the point of sale software. Another idea might be that, like with gift cards, the code needs to be activated. But that also runs into infrastructure problems. Eh. Point of sale software isn't that difficult to make changes to. Now, getting all of the locations to run the software update on all of their machines - that's a massive pain.
The Invested Beard Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Being mandated by management to go to a training for a system pertaining to best practices for IT departments that hinges on specific pieces to work properly that are the very pieces that management (who mandated the training remember) refuses to implement and/or enforce. It's like Groundhog Day only there's no Bill Murray or jokes. 1
Steeldancer he/him Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Pet peeve- having to wait for OB. 9 hours, 15 minutes

Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I'll get it tomorrow, but won't start it until next year! Mwahaha!
Erandeni he/him Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I'll get it in 2-3 weeks, on the bright side I finish my exams in 2 weeks, so when OB finally comes I will have tons of free time to read it.
anna she/her Posted November 16, 2017 Posted November 16, 2017 My cats keep knocking over the kitchen garbage can. I think they're just trying to get me to blame my dog, but they should at least check if the dog is next to me first!
Sunbird she/her Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 People watching videos on their phones, in public, with the sound on and no headphones. Just plain rude!
Delightful Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Israeli post. Oathbringer still hasn't arrived.

I had a rather unpleasant experience with the israeli postal system a couple of years back. You would think that they would care about the quality of their service, but apparently common sense need not apply. 2

The annoying thing is, the physical book might be sitting in the post office but I have to wait till they deign to send a petek (heh sounds like ketek) to get it! Meanwhile the main reactions and spoilery goodness are all happening now and I'm majorly fomo 2
Mestiv he/him Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 @Ookla the Delightful why not read an ebook while waiting?

Look at Mestiv with his programmer's money! Able to afford a physical AND electronic copy! Well, your blood money can't buy you the dignity of the working class!

Can the Bourgeoisie Sanderson fan and the Proletariat Sanderson fan live in peace together? 1

But I have only the ebook version I'll get the physical one for Christmas and it'll only be a part of the whole book, as OB is split in two parts in Poland.

Sunbird she/her Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 @Ookla the Delightful Sorry you're stuck waiting on your copy of OB! That's pretty rotten. My pet peeve for today is the feeling of having an eyelash stuck next to my eye. Every time I go to brush it away or look in the mirror to locate it, there's nothing there! Agh.

Kaymyth she/her Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 Fruit flavored candy canes. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't somehow taking over the market. It's getting harder and harder to find properly minty ones. I are distress. 1

Minutes, specifically hours. 2 hours a day. They do it to prevent me from sitting on my phone all day. They also have a content filter, but I don't really care about that. I'm able to get around it if I set up my VPN before time runs out, or before my "bedtime" when my WiFi shuts off for the day. But still, it's so ANNOYING. Even more so when I'm trying to do something productive, like my math homework, and I'm doing it on my laptop, and they keep needing to extend my time so i can get it done. And I'm just like whyyyyy.
AllomancerSam Posted December 9, 2017 Posted December 9, 2017 One relatively minor pet peeve I've found especially relevant recently is when I read faster than anyone I know irl, but not quite as fast as a lot of my online peeps, so I'm never quite on the same page (hehe puns) as everyone else.
