Left-lane campers. If vehicles are lined up behind you in the left lane on a freeway, and nobody is immediately in front of you… it’s probably time to move back to the right lane. Or step on it.

The mispronunciation of “bruschetta”. No, it is not brushetta.

Car dealer reviews are designed in a way that does not make sense. They usually offer a 1 to 5 or 10 scale, but the actual scale is highest number = A+, all other numbers = F. There is no way to give a B or C grade, although you might think you are doing so by giving a middle number. Apparently, people working at car dealers are either perfect or failing, with nothing in between.

Physical car keys typically have a relatively small number of possible key cut combinations, so being able to open some other car with your key may be more common than many people realize.

We have two. One is well moderated and very useful. The other is a disaster. Don’t get me started on the Nextdoor page for our town..i stopped looking at it years ago. It seems to bring out the worst in everyone.

Forgive my being unable to look back through nearly 350 posts and my seeming inability to get the search function to find what I need: was it this thread or another where people were annoyed by /unsure how to answer people asking what they do for work (when they are “stay at home” parents or similar)?
I don’t believe it was this one.

That is how it is in new-car sales. The manufacturer sends a new-car buyer a satisfaction survey, and if any of the answers are less than the optimal score, in the manufacturer’s eyes the salesperson has failed… even if the disparaged party, the source of the imperfect score, was the Finance manager.
It wouldn’t be a big deal if dealership and salesperson bonuses weren’t based largely on those surveys.
It’s ridiculous, frankly.

I am back in the office more now. Today when I was about to walk into a bathroom stall, someone screamed, “No, don’t go in that one.”
How hard is it to make sure the toilet you used was fully flushed before you left.

Today’s annoyance was that fried clams at Woodman’s were $41. Absurd.

It drives me nuts to set up 4 or 5 filters on a shopping site and then they are ignored when the items are displayed.

Little kids on the treadmills at the Y. Wearing Crocs, no less. Sure, mom was watching them, but it’s totally against the rules. They kept upping the speed, then lowering it. I was dead certain one, if not both, would go flying off. (Appeared to be around 4. They were on separate treadmills.)
Since I complained a couple of weeks ago about something totally unrelated, I let it go. If the staff aren’t paying attention, then there’s not much I can do.

Items that have multiple levels of wrapping and sealing. An outer wrap that I have to almost cut my hand and wrestle off and then an inner seal that I have to again, almost cut my finger to pry off with a sharp knife. Can we just have one seal? It’s just a bottle of salad dressing - I don’t think anyone is targeting it.
Also - the fact that most snack/chip/cereal/etc. bags no longer open the traditional way of pulling it apart with two hands. Why must I cut everything open with a pair of scissors?
Finally - when something has a “zip-closed” feature on it, but it doesn’t work.

Oh, they had a reason. They just weren’t sharing.
