Pet peeves/things that irritate you

I just now found out that you can buy just the collar of a shirt. I spent a lot of aggravating years trying to wear a sweater over a buttoned shirt but it always looked weird.

I saw wet socks and I’m gonna raise you one: wet sleeves (especially if it’s from “I’m just gonna wash this one cup.”)

Actually, I’m gonna use this to rant about my kitchen appliance layout for a second. The fridge is crazy loud (yet is as small as a fridge gets without being a mini fridge), it opens so the door gets in the way of the counter, my microwave/oven above the stove also opens the wrong way so I can’t take something out of it and put it on the counter without having to shut the door (which because the building is old as hell, I can’t just move the door out of the way I have to latch it or gravity will do it’s work and hit me in the head while I have probably really hot food in my arms—same issue with the fridge door if it doesn’t seal it will swing back open with gusto). That **** irritates me. If the fridge and the stove/oven area were switched (OR IF THE FRIDGE WAS ONE OF THOSE YOU COULD SWITCH THE HINGE SIDE EVEN!) things would be soo much easier.

Also I got a veggie bowl from the Bell a while ago and now instead of pico de gallo and guac you get refried beans. Wtf?

Hate all the Natty daddy cans in the ally between my building and the next one over.

If I change the strings on a guitar and wind them up on the pegs the wrong way/inconsistently and then tuning is forever a bytch until I change them again.

If my underwear is looser than my pants.

Slow people. People in grocery store who are slow and take up the whole isle. Slow drivers.

People who chew loudly.
People who invade my personal space

Thinking I have to mind my etiquette when conversing with an ai thing. I'll use the tech on occasion but will be damned if I respond like it's a human being.

Payment terminals where I'm supposed to "tap" my card on the screen. "Tap" doesn't really mean tap, it means hold the card down for several seconds. A few seconds along, I start wondering how I'll know when it's time to take the card off. I slide the card sideways a little, the display changes, and I see the very edge of a new message. I take off the card to read the message. The message says, "Please don't remove your card."

The terminals where I "tap" not on the screen itself but on a marked spot a few inches away, are usually much easier to get along with. Also, some terminals beep audibly to let me know they're done reading the card.

However, at transit stations in my area you pay with one kind of card (by swiping it the old-fashioned way) to put money for fares onto another kind of card ("Clipper"). The "tapping" spot for the Clipper card is on another machine, about three feet away and eight inches lower. I enter my transaction, pay with my debit card, and place my Clipper card on the reader as instructed. I discover that, apparently due to recent "upgrades", I have to hold the Clipper card on the reader for about 10 seconds while craning my neck to look over my shoulder at the display. If I'm not in a good position to read the display and take the Clipper card off too soon, the whole transaction gets voided and I have to start over -- by tapping my Clipper card on the reader again.

People who chew loudly in my ear.
Waiting for someone who is late because I’m always early.
Students chewing gum with their mouths open while I’m teaching.
