When you’re in a restaurant and the waiter/waitress comes over to take your drink order, and they don’t even have a beverage menu!“What would you like to drink today, ma’am?”
“Oh, well I don’t have a single clue as to even what you have to offer because there’s nothing here to tell me the options that I have in the first place!!!!!
……
……I’ll take a water.”
……Oh my God . I have been saying this for years and everybody else on earth seems to think I’m crazy.
Similarly, I don’t like when they ask what you want to drink when they haven’t even given you time to look at the drink menu.

Five minutes ago I was getting milk from the shop. I went back into my car, checked my left-hand mirror- street was empty. Turned on my left indicator, turned wheel the full way, let go of handbrake, lifted foot off clutch- street was empty. Put my foot down on the accelerator and slowly started nudging out, checked mirror again- street was empty. Looked over left shoulder and continued nudging out- street was empty.
I go to cross over to the left-hand side of the road to continue driving- SOME MOTHER F*****G CAR ZOOMS RIGHT PAST ME, LITERALLY A 1/4 OF A FOOT FROM WHERE MY CAR WAS!
Jesus and the speed they were going at, they would have done some serious damage to their car, themselves and most likely me. God I know you might want to make some stupid insurance claim but would it really be worth, potentially paralysing or even killing yourself for? Anyways they didn’t hit me, I beeped the horn, stuck the middle finger up at them, shouted “prick” (I believe it was) and watched said-prick drive off.
All of the pedestrians around me just looked in a “what the hell just happened kind of way….?” and I just drove it off, mumbling curses under my breath

Offline @AppleScruffJunior I hate drivers that do things like that. One time this kid actually hit me in the middle of a turn. Thankfully it was a turn so it didn’t really cause any damage since our cars weren’t moving fast, but our cars did make contact.

Offline I absolutely hate it when people push coffee tables right up against their couches.
Where am I supposed to put my legs? It’s not a problem if you’re laying down on the couch, but since most people usually aren’t why do it?
I also hate how when iTunes sorts your artists, it does it in alphabetical order by first name. I get why it happens, because you wouldn’t want a band like Led Zeppelin filed under Z. But couldn’t they just have a little box for artist’s first name and last name?

Well, there is a way to fix that, but it would take a lot of work if you have a lot of music.

This is how.
Change (or Fix) The Sorting Order On Your iTunes
It’s a guide from 2011 for Mac, but, to my knowledge, it’s exactly the same process on a PC in 2016.
So, for instance, if you wanted John Lennon filed under L, you would change the sorting name to “Lennon, John.”

Offline From to time I think about starting a campaign for people to leave the toilet paper hanging down just below the level of the stall wall so that if the person in the next stall finds that their stall is out of paper, they can reach down and at least get some paper…hopefully, if it is strong enough and come off easily.

Offline Here’s a new one pertaining to advertising. Specifically to food advertising.
I’m tired of seeing food advertising with vague words that don’t actually mean anything. And it seems to be getting more and more common. The following words I am tired of seeing in food/restaurant advertising:
-“Real”
-“Clean”
-“Natural”
These three words mean exactly nothing in the context that they are usually used. I’d say that this is really condescending of advertisers, but, unfortunately, there are a bunch of idiots out there who eat this crap up. (Pun intended.)

@Necko I also hate that. Especially when they attach these fake words to food just to sell more product. I once saw bananas labeled as ‘gluten-free’, even though they are already naturally free of gluten.
Also, thanks for that iTunes tip, you really helped me out there.
I now have one less pet peeve…

I know we’ve mentioned idiotic food labelling laws before, but:
OMG my Peanut Butter CONTAINS PEANUTS
And yes, it’s in bold and capitals on the jar.
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.)
I said more-or-less the same thing several months ago in this post, limitlessundyinglove.

A lot of the most irritating peeves are repeated. 
Here’s mine: sweat dripping into my eyes/down my back/from my chin, and the circumstances under which it usually occurs. 
Seriously! I mean, they say sweating’s good for you, but that’s a little bit over the limit, I think.
