…or not pissing all over the toilet and surrounding floor. Hello, we learned to aim when we were young…
And if you do that, clean it up.

On a local sports talk radio station a host read an ad for a restaurant sponsor, and he referred to a sandwich made on “broashie” bread–his co-host lost his mind and asked to see the copy–the word was “brioche”, and the poor guy had never heard of that type of bread before!
Every few days the guy gets teased about that.

I prefer sourdog bread…

People who ask the same question over and over, thinking they will get a different answer the more they ask.

Can we add dogs that are clearly not service animals in stores where those are the only animals allowed?
I love dogs but dog owners often seem to think the rules don’t apply to them.
Also, whether or not dogs are allowed on a beach, please pick up after them. Kids play there too. Ugh

So, I am one of those people - however, in my defense, when I ask a question repeatedly, if the person I ask directly listens closely I am trying to clarify my question with a little more detail because 50% of the time if they listen, they do come back with a different answer! I honestly find a large, large number of folks answer what they “think” you are asking but not listening to what you are actually asking. Sorry to annoy you

The males in our home do all the toilet cleaning. They are also very tall, and have always sat to pee (except when using urinals). It’s just logical. The difference is stark when inconsiderate visitors come over and there’s pee everywhere and the seat is left up.

Store employees, wait staff, receptionists, etc. who use terms of endearment - baby, sweetheart, honey. Just say your sentence - “here you go” “are you ready for your check?” “That will be $15”. There’s no need to add anything else. Maybe this is just a Southern thing? Women speaking to me, a woman. I know I’m short but I’m 62 years old and I’m nobody’s baby.

Along those lines, I don’t like it when someone exaggeratedly and repeatedly uses “Miss” to address me. I dislike the hidden assumption that I am unhappy with my 63 years and would prefer to be thought of as younger. I am not, and do not.

Ha, and I’m just the opposite. When I moved from Texas to Maine, I was quite shocked at the lack of friendliness among strangers. I have to admit, I still enjoy visiting Austin and exchanging pleasantries with strangers.

I enjoy friendliness. I don’t care for the use of endearments by strangers.

The day I moved to Nashville (from northern Wisconsin…) in 2000 to start grad school, I had just finished unpacking my stuff. It was August, so I needed a brewski. I drove to the Villager Tavern near Vandy/Belmont/Music Row and upon stepping foot inside, the bartender greeted me with:
How y’all doin’, darlin?
I looked to my left. Looked to my right. To whom else is she speaking?
LOL
But I found the “darlin’” part charming.

Anyone calling me darlin’ will seriously regret it.

Yes! Those same sentences can be said with a friendly tone and smile without the honey, dear, sweetheart, babydoll (yes, I’ve gotten that one recently). I realize it’s mostly just habit but as I’ve gotten older when it’s said by a younger person it also seems condescending.

Wife and I have an expression, the “hon” waitress, usually elderly, who calls you “hon”, which doesn’t bother us. Sweetie, darlin, babydoll definitely would.

I try not to get annoyed because I don’t like drama but Amazon Prime Video has crossed a line. I pay for Prime and I pay an extra $2.99/month so I can watch without ads because it’s worth it to me. But now there are multiple shows I would like to watch that are available only with ads. No no no.

There was an odd waiter at a favorite restaurant who called women “M’lady”. I wanted to shout, “Off with his head!”

When I was working on Indian reservations in N.M., I spent quite a bit of time on one particular project in a small Tribal community. One day, the receptionist told me that an employee (who I didn’t ever remember personally speaking with) had asked her “when is Babe coming back?” She said “who?” They said, “you know, that forester girl!” My name is not Babe. I go by a shortened version of a name that starts with B, but IMO doesn’t sound anything like Babe. But the guy had misheard my name and had really thought it was Babe. 
. Everyone at the office there had gotten a good laugh out of it, and when I went back to my office and told them the story, they never let me hear the end of it. They even changed my name to Babe on the sign out board.

I’m currently annoyed that we are out of power again. One clap of thunder, no rain. That’s it, though we’ve lost it over less. 2.5 hours and counting. Sigh. My house is already 81 and climbing. Heat index is currently 89 at 8pm. It might fall to the upper 70s. Even if we could open the windows - which we can’t because that’d be the death of me allergy wise and I don’t think the screens are up anymore - it wouldn’t really cool anything off. I guess it’s been a couple of months since we last lost power so I should count myself as lucky, but I am just annoyed.
