Things that annoy you
Time for the annual (?), monthly (?), hourly (?) collection of the little grievances that, yes, are sweating the small stuff.
It drives me nuts when we have to sit and wait for some numpty to back into their parking spot instead of just pulling in. Time's a wasting. We're not getting any younger.

I don't understand all the hate for reversing into parking spots. Either way, you're going to wait for someone. I.e., if the driver parks head-first, you're going to wait while that person reverses out.

This is the smallest annoyance ever, but it gets me every time.
I hate the new baskets with wheels that many retailers (CVS, Walgreens, etc) have adopted in recent years. I get the concept, but they are heavier and bulkier than traditional shopping baskets, and a pain. I don't want to pull my shopping basket around the store with me.
At my local Walgreens, one of the baskets is missing the handle, so all you can do is drag it around. I don't know why the store doesn't just throw it out. Almost every time I shop, that's the basket atop the stack, so I have to set it aside and grab one that I can actually carry.
Very annoying.

Escalators: If you just want to stand and let the escalator do the climbing, then stand on the right side. If you want to walk, then do that on the left. Just like driving a car.

Backing into a parking space saves lives. You have a better view of traffic and people (in particular small kids) when you pull out forwards.
Escalators were meant to be walked on! Standing on them like cattle was never the idea, the concept was that people would still walk the stairs, the moving stairs, and get quicker from A to B.

Cars that pull out in front of you and don't put their foot down hard enough when there are no cars behind yours.
BEEEEEP, asshole!
People who can back smoothly and swiftly into parking spots are way better than the people who take five or six attempts to get in there. They need to go and perfect their skills in an EMPTY parking lot, not just go for it in a crowded lot off a main road on a Saturday. Traffic stopped on the main road as cars line up to get into the lot = way more dangerous than backing out. Especially since most cars have reversing cameras.
I walk up and down escalators fast. I just want to get out of there and get on with my day. Who has the time to stand on an escalator like a vegetable?

I disagree. Because the reversing lights are not visible, others can’t tell if the driver is backing into the space or pulling out of it. Also cameras have made pulling out in reverse a lot safer.

I don't have a car (yes, I type poor), so most of my commute is spent among other pedestrians.
I've become annoyed by what I call "competitive walkers."
I have a very steady pace. Every so often, someone will overtake me, walking much faster. But once they pass me, they almost immediately slow down to slower pace. It's not necessarily that they want to get wherever they are going faster. They only want to show that they're walking faster than me.

FFS you back into to parallel parking spots because most spots are too small for front entrance. On most cars it's the wheels in front that turn so you have more control to position the stationary back wheels when you push them in. If the turning wheels are in the back, the way it is on some heavy machinery, you go in front ways. This is why backing in is the way it is always taught.
If you see a space ahead of time put on your blinker to give a little warning. If someone is tailgating on a street where there is only parallel parking and gets pissed, they're the asshole. Where do you think you are, the Bonneville Salt Flats?
Of course you go in front end if the space is large so you don't block traffic.

R12, several years ago I shopped at a busy Costco on a Sunday afternoon. I don’t get to Costco much, and had never been to this one, but had some occasion to be buying a lot of stuff.
As is my practice, I parked far away from the store.
When I got relatively close to my car the shopping cart seized up. Apparently there was some wireless boundary in play to prohibit the theft of shopping carts. 🛒
It was a hot day, the lot was busy, and I basically had to lift the cart to get it close enough to be unloaded. I was annoyed.
I get similarly annoyed when I’m out of town and stop at a store where many items are under lock and key. I understand the idea, but feel punished in having to wait for a clerk to unlock a $5 air freshener.

Huge SUVs (Escalades, GMC whatever-the-fuck they call that behemoth) driven by the shortest women on the planet!! They can't see over the steering wheeil so it takes them 87 tries to pull into a parking spot. They also have to park close to the store. Watching them try to back that sucker out of spot is definitedly a popcorn moment. I pull in at the bottom of the parking lot and pull into a space all by itself. Easy in, easy out.
While I'm on the subject, the assholes in the jalopies (yes, I'm old) that have as many dents as Doan's has pills, that feel the need to park right next to me, despite the parking lot being damn near empty. Same goes for box trucks and the occasional Fire/Rescue truck. I park far away for two reasons; (1) walking is free exercise so I park as far away as possible and, (2) to keep my car from getting dinged by errant shopping carts and careless car owners.
Lastly, women who use the ladies' room and don't observe the unwritten rule of "every other stall." The damn place is empty but you feel the need to use the stall next to me while you're on the phone with your bestie. Do they really need to hear toilets flush and do I need to hear your conversations? I'm guessing the same rule applies for urinals.

R124, regarding the drivers who hurry to merge: My Mother, sister, and I were on are way to Point Pleasant, NJ one sunny Saturday morning. As there always is, there was a long line of cars exiting 440S to get on the Garden State Parkway South exit. Along comes some young ass, zooming down on the shoulder to cut everyone off. One thing he didn't count on? The NJ State Troopers had started sitting at the exact merge spot to catch these drivers. As we calmly drove by, there he was, waiting for his ticket. One of the best memories of that torturous drive (it was at least 90 minutes down and 2 hours back from where we lived in northern NJ).

I went into the Home Depot garden section the other day. A good-looking kid who worked there was in the little kiosk where you pay. When he wasn't waiting on people he kept coming out to sit on a box to look at his phone. He waited on me, I bought three pots of flowers to plant. Afterwards he went out again to sit on the box and look at his phone. Nothing about this bothered me until I realized I was going to need a cart to take the plants to my car. I asked him, "Are there any carriages around?" He nodded to one about 7 or 8 feet away from him. I had to pull it out from behind some shrubs, where it was stuck. He never lifted a finger.

R147 That's interesting. Where I go they have baggers.

I don't have great manners, either, probably, but it aggravates me to have to answer the question, then not get an answer to my question. Like: You made me answer you, now you won't answer me.

I have a friend who I've known for years, and we have a few other old friends in common. One of our friends is a woman whose birthday is over a month later than mine, but every year the first woman says to me: "Let's get together to celebrate both your birthdays." She asks another person (a guy) to come, as well.
Six or seven weeks after my birthday, I've forgotten about it. I don't feel like celebrating it in the spring when my birthday is in the winter. This person just does it because she knows she has to celebrate the other woman's birthday (her oldest, best friend), at the time of the birthday--and wants to kill two birds with one stone by retroactively including me.
It just never sat right with me, so last year I told her, no thanks. Not with bitterness, I just said truthfully it's not my birthday, it's the other person's, and I'll celebrate that, but I feel like an afterthought if you try to tack me on the end on of it. She didn't get it.

Indian givers. Or whatever the politically correct term is. I've had friends try to pressure me to give something back that they've given me (an old printer, stuff like that) if they notice I'm not using it. "Hey, if you're not using that, mine broke down, think I could have it back?" Like it still belongs to them. Obviously, they wouldn't ask me to give them something I got from someone else, or bought.
I ignored a person who did this, and they kept it up--their mom even mentioned it to me. So I dropped it off where they lived. Haven't spoken since.

r207 as got older, I realized how it's a pain in the ass to pick people up from airports so I refuse to do it unless they fly into the local airport which is Burbank because it's about 5 mins from my house. If it's a large, international airport, like LAX they can get an uber or take a shuttle service. Large airports are difficult to navigate and once you become an adult, you don't ask favors like that. If it's offered that's different but I still recognize that it's a pain so I usually turn them down. Adults don't ask other adults for favors that are infringing on someone else's life...like help moving or picking people up from places where there are options.

I think that people feel like they can see everything and therefore pull out way quicker than usual, when they actually can't see as much as they think. A lot of modern cars are just too big to see a kid in front of you period, unless they're fairly far away, and the cars to the sides of you will potentially block your view of a pedestrian who is very close. Especially if those cars are big too. I think it's easier to accidentally lurch quickly a few feet when you first touch the pedal in drive than reverse. Of course I've seen people irresponsibly back out of spaces and nearly hit my grocery cart or something, but always moving way way way slower. I see someone shoot forward out of a parking space that I couldn't see because it was between two giant SUVs/Jeeps/Trucks all the time, they're hitting like 20 as soon as they possibly can.

People who lack empathy, self-awareness, and dignity. There are more people moving into our formerly quiet neighborhood with huge extended families in one house. Our neighbors have cars with intentionally loud, rumbly engines, and they rev them anytime they leave (sometimes at 1am). These are the same people who park against the direction of traffic in our residential neighborhood, and doing donuts in front of our house. They have 5-6 cars filling their driveway, and spilling out into the street. Sometimes, they’ll burn rubber until gray smoke and stench cover the surrounding houses. They have loud, drunken parties on weekends, sometimes until 3am, then they yell and scream at each other as their guest leave. One time I couldn’t sleep, and I heard them saying, “I’m so damn wasted! What time you wanna go to church tomorrow?"

Individuals who leisurely scratch off their lottery tickets in front of the lottery machine regardless of the wait line behind them. I've seen people scratching off crossword lotto tickets, winning, purchasing another ticket, and scratching it off while still standing in front of the machine.

I hate when people sit down at the airport, when they could be standing up. Of course, flying is a motherlode of annoyances, like when you're on a plane and you have to reach up if you have to adjust the air blowing on you. Don't get me started on flight attendants, the way they come by and take away your trash before the plane lands. And the way the pilot insists on slowing down the plane during landing. Ugh.
Then they make you walk all the way from your seat into the terminal. Then you get there, and no matter what time it is, there are all these electric lights...never candlelight.
I also hate shoes and wristwatches and people whose hair isn't quite blond but isn't quite brown.

Along with the lottery ticket complaints upthread, people who scratch them off in their car and toss the losing tickets out their car windows.
There's a convenience store near me. People go in and purchase their tickets, scratch them off, and toss the losers out the window. The parking lot is LITTERED with them. The winning tickets they automatically redeem for MORE tickets to be scratched off. They see nothing wrong with littering or the hamster wheel they appear to be on.

R397, no, Jesus’ death did not remove Original Sin from anyone. You still were born with it and had to be baptized to get rid of it. Mary was the only one ever born without Original Sin on her soul. Don’t try to make sense of it. It’s just another way the church controls people, they get you when you’re a freaking baby. Oh, I think the church got rid of Limbo too and released all the babies trapped in there so they could go to Heaven. Limbo was better than Purgatory as far as suffering goes but it still was bad PR for a religion that claimed to be so rabidly pro-baby.

The theory is quite basic. The early Church realized that their concept of Christ as savior needed a pure source, that being his mother. If Mary was born with sin, what did that reveal about her son? Thus, her conception was deemed immaculate. And the Marian worship developed from there. In context of church history, it makes sense. Your mileage may vary.

Back in the dark ages when I was young the average person had no clue what the grosses were for movies. We only knew what our local critics wrote, and sometimes we heard about lines around the block. But opening weekends or weeks didn't make or break a movie. The only way you could find these stats was to read newspapers like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter--which the average person didn't do.
Then shows like Entertainment Tonight started posting box office stats--I remember thinking: who cares? But it became an interest and a sport unto itself. Previously it used to be a joke that if you went to a Hollywood party all anyone talked about was the box office receipts. Now there are people with no connection to show business who are deeply interested in what kind of money a movie makes.

Insipid euphemisms like "following GUEST please" at a checkout counter (please, lord, bring back "next" or "next customer."
"Customer Comfort Center" (yes, I encountered this today on musical hold)--- as opposed to the eminently less grating "Customer Service."
"A specialist will be with you shortly." Specialist, in this all-too-common instance, refererring to the call-center peeps who do their best to answer basic questions according to the company script.
The grating radio ad for Babbel (which I can't find anywhere online--another huge point of annoyance) in which an exuberant, bubbly, squealing woman babbles (errr) excitedly about learning.... SPANISH!" She gushes and coos in an eardrum-shattering decibel spectrum. emoting and cooing and being just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! "Gracias, Babbel" May she get lost on an arid path and meet a messy if dessicated end in a heatwave.

You can be standing in front of them for five minutes while you are waiting. They still call, "Next!"

R530 when I worked in customer service I felt saying next was rude so I would say hello instead. My supervisor didn't like it and wanted me to say can I help you? but I thought that was redundant.

R536, that's fine if the person is standing right at the counter. "Next" would make no sense in that context.
"Next" is used when the line is a couple of steps back from the counter. It's a way of calling the next customer up to the counter. It's also used when there are several stations but a single line as a way to draw the the attention of the next person in line.
"Next" can be rude or nice, depending on facial expression and tone of voice.

Your body should get better at processing alcohol as you get older because of the amount of practice it gets. That's just science.

People who just can't follow rules or conventions. For example, today, on a one way street, a cyclist rode up the protected bike lane - the wrong way. It's one example, but all of us, all day, see at least one example of somebody just acting selfishly and doing what they want to do, screw everybody else. Problem is, it adds up one big collective screw everybody else because what's the point of not screwing everybody else when everybody else is just screwing everybody else? We're all ground down by it in the end and it sucks. But mostly it's annoying.

Motorcylists who are always complaining about the "rules of the road' when it comes to cars, weaving in and out of traffic illegally and/or riding down the while lines. I wish someone would open their car door and flip one of the mfers! I won't do that because, well, I love my car. I found out while watching Road Wars that it is legal for motorcyclists to ride the white line in some states.

R554, if by riding the white lines you mean the line marking the edge of the right lane (that is, riding in the shoulder), I think it should be illegal for any vehicle, including bicycles, to do that. It's dangerous and snarls traffic. Wait in line with every other vehicle, you selfish jerks!

R555, yes and no. Specifically I'm talking about the ones that ride down the white lines separating the lanes; sometimes in traffic and sometimes even when traffic is moving at the posted speed or faster.

Big business suddenly putting those “care about you” ads on TV. Western Petroleum doing the sad it’s-so-hard-to-make-it-for-the-little-people-now-sad-song drivel. Pfizer with their all-kinds-of-laughing. Gas and electric shutting off your electricity during wildfire season because they-can-do-something-to-help. Yeah, after they caused half the devastating fires with their lack of maintenance for years. I’d like to know what Western Petroleum producers are going to do for us. I think they’re running scared that their partners-in-crime are going to lose this election so they’re suddenly on board with the silent majority of reasonable people who are over this shit and cheering for the change.

I loathe when dining companions receive their menu and immediately and maniacally try to get everyone to order what they want to “share”. They narrate their choices loudly, in quick succession, preventing anyone else from concentrating on what they want.
“Oh LOOK! They have the bleu cheese onion smoothie with boar bacon and chocolate sprinkles. Looks SO GOOD!
And oh my GAWD, they have a Caesar salad! With house-made CROUTONS!
“Who wants to share the pickled parsnip puree, salad, smoothie and LOOK! Braised beets on pollock with a cherry REDUCTION. Let’s get THAT!”

Old iPhone here. I went to an MLB (baseball) game earlier this year and the park would only take e-tickets. The MLB app (for eTickets) wouldn't install on my phone due to the operating system. (My phone is updated as much as it can be.) Had to ask my friend (also going to the ball game) to install on his phone, which was OK, but a hassle.

A fast backstroker is unusual, r581. But a butterflyer is so guaranteed to hit someone while sharing a lane my gym has banned that stroke unless they are the only person in it.
There is a frog-leg-backstroke I have only seen women swimmers do. It looks like something out of the Kama Sutra.
