Don't you hate it when...

Spontaneous idea for a thread here.

Why don't we all chronicle minor annoyances that you wish you could do without. Sort of a collection of things that aren't super show stopping in terms of living life but are annoying enough to warrant a complaint of some sort.

I'll start.

Don't you hate it when you're sitting in front of your gaming rig having a great time and your pet dog walks into the room, farts, then leaves you with a stink that won't go away. Rage quit until the stench dissipates?

Cats will absolutely ruin any computing experience -- including by farting when necessary (or out of sheer laziness and spite). But their hatred of attention being paid to computers and/or gaming platforms is legendary.

Cute sometimes, too. But legendary.

I have to think about this...

100% agree. My current beastie goes out of her way to make me feel guilty if she catches me on the computer.

Getting out of a warm bed to sit on a cold toilet seat

Door Dashers leaving your bag of food and drinks right in front of the door so you have to knock it over to get it. How hard would it be to move it over 8 inches to where the door won't hit it when opening.

On/off switches and buttons with no indicator telling whether they are in the on or off position.

Family members borrow your carefully organized tools and then do not put them back....ever.

You buy something, like a tent, and find that the packaging is so finely fit that you can NEVER get it back into the case/package/container that it came out of.

People who whine "I don't want to talk about it, you're stressing me out." WTF?! Put your big boy or big girl pants on and DEAL WITH IT! Real world sh-t does not care whether you are "stressed out" or not.

People who make their lives look perfect on social media, when you really know the truth is that they are lonely, miserable alcoholics who hate their spouses and kids.

You are driving along on a multi lane interstate at about the speed limit when some car comes along in the lane to your left and slowly edges ahead of you, then moves over into your lane and slows down. Slower than you, slower than the speed limit.

I've never been able to figure this out.
