And indeed I have specifically seen pictorial signs on some telling people not to squat… US toilets are not designed for that.
In some countries they have signs to differentiate between squat toilets and western ones.
Also … the germs aren’t always where you think they are.
“ Studies at the University of Arizona in Tucson found that sinks are the greatest reservoir of germ colonies in restrooms, thanks in part to accumulations of water that become breeding grounds for tiny organisms.”

Things that annoy me: posters here describing 3.7/3.8 as “low GPA”.

Annoying when signs are posted giving information/guidelines…and folks do not bother to read them…or they just ignore what they say.
E.g. “We do not accept any computer or computer accessories as donations”. But the people leave their monitor, keyboard, mouse, and even the computer sometimes.

Also, posters who list only weighted GPA with no indication that the weighting system matches that of a college they are targeting.

Another example would be recycling, compost, and garbage bins clearly marked (including pictures of stuff) as to what goes into them, but people put the stuff in the obviously incorrect bin (like cans in compost and food scraps in recycling).

Every so often we get a little form on one of our recycle or compost bins to congratulate us for putting the right stuff in 
(there’s a box to tick for them too if it’s not right). I don’t know whose job it is to go looking inside to check, but ugh.
“Flushable” wipes. They are not flushable. Please stop calling them that.

- when nobody but me takes out the trash
- when the spouse leaves a dirty glass on the counter instead of the sink
- people who think that a 1500 SAT is a low score. Like…dude…get a grip, no it’s not. Maybe yes it’s low for MIT but for like 99% of the institutions in the US, that’s a great score.
- when the cat comes to wake me up at 5:30 am because she’s bored. It’s cute but really annoying.

Pilot: (after landing a flight that was delayed 90 minutes) “Please remain seated as we have some people in the back of the plane that are going to miss their connection if we don’t get them off quickly”.
Half the passengers on the plane: Now seems like a good time for me to stand in the aisle, get my lagguge and mosey to the front of the plane.
It took everything in me not to yell at these people. The women in front of me and I kept speaking loudly to our husbands (who were also itching to get up) about the passengers that needed to make their flights and had to get off the plane.

My family drives me nuts. My husband puts cans on the back counter that is 8 inches from the recycling bag hanging from a hook. His guitar picks are all over even though I designated a shot glass. I take the garbage out. The newer one is everyone seems to dump the bottom of their coffee cups in tbd white sink, leave them there, and not rinse the coffee down the drain, I’m always cleaning and bleaching my sink.

Conversely, the people who insist they have to get off first because of tight connections when there have been no delays. Sorry buddy, that’s a you problem for not booking enough time between your flights.

My gripe of the day: toddler pants. Don’t the makers know that toddlers, even the skinny ones, have little bellies? Why do they make pants that are so tight in the waist? I have to buy size 4-5 (!) for our 2 yr old who is absolutely not chubby so her belly would not get squished. Then I have to cut a couple of inches off the pants and hem them!

No one touches the dishwasher except me in our house! Because they can’t play dishwasher Tetris! 
I can load twice as many dishes in it as anyone else in this household can!

Same here. Everyone else can unload it, but only I have the authority to load it.

Seems like infant to toddler clothes may be anti-vanity-sized so that they will be outgrown faster so that customers will have to buy new ones sooner.
You just made me smile with the memory of how adorable little toddler bellies are!

My husband late-night eats, so each morning I come out to a pile of dishes in the sink. This morning it was an empty cake pan 
And every morning, without fail, there is an empty Coke Zero bottle on the counter, inches away from the recycling bin.
I can’t remember whether it was this thread or somewhere else on social media where someone was annoyed by airline passengers with a later zone numbers who huddle close to the boarding gate, blocking those who have earlier zones from getting on. ++1 for me on that annoyance. Not my fault if you chose not to check a bag and are trying to jockey for prime overhead bin space. Sit down until your number is called - they won’t leave without you if you’re at the gate.
