Same here. I have a Windows computer, and it’ll just give me a random notification while in the middle of doing something “Computer will restart in 14 minutes and 59 seconds” and will just countdown until it randomly shuts down before I finish doing my browsing

Offline When you are paying a bill by credit card and the paper has all kinds of room on it, but it only has a small line for you to write in a 16-digit number. Come on, I know they could make that line longer. I wonder if they would accept the payment if I wrote the number in the big empty space.

And you tell them, tactfully, ‘get some rest, dear, hope you feel better soon’; and then you tell them, bluntly, ‘Stay home, we don’t want your germs’–
AND THEY SHOW UP ANYWAY.

What I can’t stand is when food labels are misleading.
Like when a food that is naturally low in cholesterol says that it’s low cholesterol to make it seem like a health food.
When a food that naturally has zero gluten says it’s “Gluten Free” to pander to idiots.
When orange juice says that it’s non-GMO, even though genetically modified oranges currently don’t even exist in the first place. There is literally a brand of water here in the U.S. that says “non-GMO” on the bottle. Well, duh! Water doesn’t have genes to begin with, dummy.
(Also, GMOs are safe, are not worth being afraid of, and there’s no point in avoiding them, but that’s beside the point.)

Offline People that just never stop talking. I have a friend at school who literally never shuts her mouth, even if she’s repeating the same thing for the past 5 minutes to the past week. Even the teachers need to tell her to be quiet most of the time! These are the types of people that need a mute button before my ears explode

This is, after all, the thread for people to grouse about their stupid, petty peeves.

Yes indeed. In spite of the inevitable changes in language usage I’m with you on this one.
For the rest of this century at least.

FRINDLE!
Making up words for things is different from mis-using currently existing words.
I wonder what people 100 years ago would think of are speech.
Assuming you mean ‘our’ and not ‘are’, I would suppose… hmm, 1915… the upper-crust would think it a bit common (as in un-posh). I should think the lower classes would mind much.
Now, 200 years ago, that’s a bit more interesting…
