I can help with this! Buy a lot of scissors, put them in your scissor drawer and a few other places. Seriously!

My kitchen junk drawer scissors are now tied to the drawer. That THAT, 10 year old tasmanian devil child!

Oh God. I labeled our kitchen junk drawers. Flashlights, Scissors, tools/measuring tape, office/pens. One day my son and husband were talking about im sooooo fussy that I label the drawers. I was like WOW. I had to explain to them that I am not fussy, I had to label the drawers because they don't understand how to put things back where they found them and I was so so so tired of the constant search for missing household supplies. Every day either I was looking for something or they were asking ME where something was.

My husband would use something, then leave it ANYWHERE in any room.

One time I saw him putting an envelope with $100 cash into a drawer of the TV stand. I told him no, put it somewhere logical, like in your wallet or in the drawer where we keep the check book. It doesn't occur to him to put like with like. He would never have remembered to look for money in the TV stand drawer which we never open ever.

I couldn't believe they thought I had labeled the drawers because I was fussy.

When someone calls my office to ask for the address or email address and instead of writing it down, they type it into their phone. But their phone autocorrects so they have to ask me to repeat it again and again. AND THEN, they read it back to me and they're still wrong. Get a damn pencil.

It made 13-yo me really angry but now I'm just vaguely annoyed. ROYGBIV people.

When people think indigo needs to be its own distinct color so that the mnemonic works.

Indigo is a shade of blue - not its own color!

I'm totally cool with ROYGBV. Just get the order right, FFS. No blue next to red. It makes my inner Lisa Franke cry.

Group fitness instructors (think Pilates; solidcore) who just place their hands on you not to correct form, but to just let you know they’re there. I mean, if your hand is on my sweaty shoulder and you’ve been walking around the room touching all of these other people, and you don’t need to correct my form or give me a useful tip, why are you touching me with the germs of 30 other people???? How could you possibly think that was a good idea?

When customer service reps try to establish a rapport. We’re not friends. This is a business call. Don’t ask me how my day has been so far. Obviously not great if I just called the 1-800 line you’re answering.

I do try to cut these people a break because they're clearly reading from a script and have probably been told not to deviate from it, but I do find it annoying. Sometimes I joke that my day was going ok until I had to call about this issue, but not in a jerky way (although as I type that I feel like it makes me sound like a jerk so maybe there's no other way to say that).

Lol it doesn't make you sound like a jerk. But they're thinking "dear God, I've heard that joke thousand times today, get me out of this hell" as they politely fake chuckle.

It's a stupid customer service game played on both sides. I have to talk to people on the phone in a customer service roll but I don't have a script and I refuse to engage in that banter. All I want is for the client to be polite and provide me with the information I ask for (and only the information I ask for) and neither of us will need to be fake nicey nice with each other.

Getting off track here but I find myself wanting to say (or trying to find a nice way to say) "my next question is to be answered yes or no without further explanation...) Or "what is your current address? And by that I mean what is the address of the home where you reside regardless of who you live with, why you live there, when your wife kicked you out, when you go to court for custody, how much your mom charges for rent and when you expect to have your own house again...I don't need any of that information for God's sake just give me your address. "

I felt this whole post. Living with other people (my family) who touch and move my stuff. Infuriating. Then ask me where it is.

Lazy is ordering pickup. Walk your lazy a$$ inside.

I don't mind walking around the store but the professional shoppers are so much more efficient than me and, if I don't go inside, I don't make silly whim purchases. Also, not PP but equally annoyed at those who use the pickup spaces. They are clearly marked.

My mom making French press coffee so excruciatingly slowly. The coffee beans are ground for exactly 60 seconds, and then the grounds are precisely measured before pouring them into the press. Then we start the water heating -- not before, and not in one of those kettles that boils water quickly. Some time later, the water finally boils and we pour it into the press, slowly and carefully. Then we stir the water v-e-e-e-r-y slowly, and then we let it steep, stir again, then slowly press. I WANT MY COFFEE DONE, NOT PERFECT!

Oh god my husband. Do you know how hard it is to cook without onions? How he sounds like an 8 year old when he orders at restaurants.

And I am one of those picky eaters who is annoyed by people like you. Why is it so irritating to you if your DH says, "No onions, please." when he orders something in a restaurant? Many people have certain foods they don't care for. That's why there is a variety of choice on menus. Intolerance of others is a much worse annoyance than someone's food choice.

Because he (and you) sound like an 8 year old. Eat what's put in front of you.
I have a friend who doesn't like fruit, won't eat any wild game, etc.
I feel like its immature, indulgent and attention seeking.

You can feel whatever you like but spewing your opinion only shows your glaring ignorance and your immaturity. Why not try educating yourself to the FACT that not all human beings taste things the same way and have actual physical/genetic reasons for the way they experience taste and smell. Here's an article from Harvard to get you started:

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2016/05/31/super-tasters-non-tasters-is-it-better-to-be-average/

Not pp, but of course foods taste differently to different people.

But most people have the dignity to eat what's put in front of them, because they're not entitled picky brats. You don't have to absolutely love everything you eat. If someone goes through the effort to make something for you, have a modicum of dignity to not complain.

What about the entitled, picky brats who simply can’t BEAR to cook their undoubtedly sh!tty stew (or whatever) without onions because OMG it doesn’t taste the SAME (horrors)!

You can make your own stew, then.

What other people make? You either don't eat and make your own, or shut up and eat.

Of course I’ll make my own! Better than eating the slop served by yet another home “chef” on a bizarre power trip. I’ll bet you also refuse to cook steak to your guests’ or family members’ desired level of doneness, too…

It's one thing to make a pot of chili, without onions, that serves everyone. Easy, but not as tasty for others.
It's quite another to cook a steak to desired doneness.

Ha I was just thinking about my picky friend who was irritated that I made chili with onions, diced tomatoes and beans. He only likes ground beef and tomato sauce like his mom makes it. He was truly offended that I was so inconsiderate.

Did you tell him his mom was serving him spaghetti sauce and passing it off as chili?

That's also hot dog chili versus chili beans.

Semi-related to this: the last few time I've flown, there are very few employees working, so there are massive lines. OR there are 5 or 6 employees but the are having a lengthy group conversation before they get to their stations. Meanwhile, people are waiting in line, watching the airline employees kibbitzing.

I can't stand people who come to an almost stop really far away at a stop light and then spend the next minute or two inching forward. I stop and then refuse to move. I'm not riding my brakes for that.

I know this one! Or close! A friend (whom I almost killed) put PB on each bread then the jelly on PB. He said it was to keep the jelly from leaking through the bread. I get that, if you are packing your PBJ for a long haul. Like night before. Does that help?

Reader, I did not kill him. I led him to the light (PB on one side, jelly on the other, eat sandwich immediately).

Oh no. So gross. Then the jelly leaks through the bread. PB on both sides, jelly in the middle.

How long are you waiting until you eat your sandwich?!?

Relatedly, people who won't move up just a few inches so that people trying to get into the left turn lane may do so. I understand when there is simply no room to move up, but I often see either oblivious or passive/aggressive drivers refusing to move up (when possible) to allow cars behind them to get into the left lane. It's especially maddening when there's a left turn arrow and that dope makes us miss it.

Or if there's a way to turn right on red but you can't get up there because they're blocking it so you have to wait for the green when you would have been able to turn before.
