Hey Pandas, What’s A Small Inconvenience That Irritates You More Than It Should?

We all have that tiny thing that somehow ruins our whole mood for no real reason. From slow walkers to tangled earbuds, some minor annoyances just hit different.

#1

'Their, they're, there' being misused - drives me crazy! Arrgh

those t-shirts that have a really cool design on the back that i would prefer to have on the front have always bothered me. if i wear it to school, the back of my backpack always scratches the design off

With my misophonia it's hard to enjoy life with triggering sounds like gum smacking, sound of glass dishes stacking, smacking lips. I also am unable to enjoy most ASMR. :

Bigots on this site can be quite annoying.

Temporarily putting garbage in the sink- like eggshells, product packaging, kitchen scraps, or other items that can’t go down the drain.

Lane hoggers. The left lane is for passing, god damnit! I live in Germany, where lane discipline is good, but in the USA, everyone is just keeping to their own lane. Camping the left lane and passing on the right, it was chaos. Learn to drive, folks!

Tailgaters. If someone driving behind me gets too close, I am very likely to slow way down until they back off significantly. No matter how long it takes.

Nice prints on shirts becoming c*****d after a few washes.

Taking out the trash. Gravel, rail road ties, more bumps and bushes to navigate just to get it to the curb. Why can't it just evaporate? Better yet, aliens can abduct it to find out what humans are really like. ;)

Walking past a door and your pocket or belt loop catches on the handle causes me more rage than most traffic incidents.

Improper apostrification.

When you’re trying to sneak around quietly but every single joint in your body cracks as though you’re a geriatric 98 year old widow climbing down the stairs

I am a pretty laid-back guy, generally, but once on the road....
Poor drivers in general - improper lane usage, not using their turn signals, stopping at yield signs/traffic circles, failure to yield to merging traffic, driving significantly below the posted speed limit, etc.
Much of the traffic issues (in the US at least) are a direct result of people not knowing how to drive properly!

People standing around chatting in a narrow hallway and blocking it.

I am instantly and unreasonably infuriated when I use the stapler and it has the gall to have run out of staples! I'm not impervious to the fact that it will, eventually, run out of staples. But that empty, hollow, ka-thunk! is simply maddening.

I had no choice but to learn to forgive the stapler for far too many years when I read a tip somewhere that marking a red stripe over top the last few staples will serve to warn me of impending fury.

People in a supermarket that just stand in the middle of the aisle and natter. Like, cool, catch up on life but please move your arsés to the side so the rest of us can get by...

I get the wrong order from door dash and I want to throw it against a wall. How hard is it to pack a meal correctly and/or grab the right one?

Definitely when the router decides it's going to reset itself. I have lots of "smart" things in my home and they go bonkers when the wifi resets.

Occasionally one of my AirPods doesn’t charge because there was some lint in the way of the charging contacts. It annoys me to no end when only one works.

I can blow the dust out and it’ll charge to like 10% in a few minutes so it’s not the worst thing in the world but when I want to listen to music I want to listen to my d**n music and one earbud doesn’t cut it.

Traffic lights. I think the ones where I live are sentient. They know when I’m coming and they never fail to turn red, just for me.
