Oh, he can F right off. What a jackhole

I'm shocked you haven't put him squarely in his place yet

DP. Agreed. This is not an irrational pet peeve, this is fully justified rage.

I could be your spouse! I think people who rely on overhead lighting in the evening anywhere but the kitchen are soulless monsters. If DH is sitting in the living room past 9 pm with a bunch of overhead lights going, I dim them. We don’t need our house lit up like a cheap apartment late at night.

That I have to pay to get plastic bags for my small trash cans. The cheapest ones I found online were 5 cents each, and they're small and flimsy. I might as well just pay the same at the stores for bigger, sturdier plastic bags.

That I can't customize my desktop at work. I cannot delete excess icons I never use.
Having them there doesn't affect functionality.

My kids' bus has to cover another route before it can take them home from school all this week, so they have to wait about 45 mins to be picked up. My daughter has a doc appt after school today so in order to get her there on time, I have to sit in the car line on a Zoom meeting. Is it a big deal in the grand scheme of things, no. But it's annoying.

Family photo holidays cards but only with photos of the children. I want to see my friends!

Holiday blow up yard decorations. Tacky.

Gnomes

They are so tacky and ugly and have no business as Xmas decorations.

Honestly, they have no business as decorations at all, but especially not at Xmas

Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, iPhones, & & most car dashboards because they are cluttered with endless confusing non-intuitive options that make it hard to find the 10% of options people might actually need. Last night my iPhone rang & there was no way to answer it (no green button to punch or swipe). How can that happen?

The people who are mad about that thread, which is great.

None. I'm ovulating, and always happy at that time. It's nice to have at least one day a month when everything is awesome.

What's your irrational pet peeve of the moment?

I'll start. Stanley water cups. I don't get paying $40 for a straw cup that you have to lug by the handle.
