    When someone posts multiple pictures as a thread reply and then multiple people quote him without trimming the picture links.

    I don't need to see the same pictures 10 times over.

    When people parallel park between other cars and then turn on their 4-ways. All oncoming traffic sees is the road-side light and it looks like they are signaling to enter traffic, so every other car ends up stopping to let them in which never happens and traffic backs up like crazy.

    When people need to move over 4 lanes when they exit a parkade, so instead of entering the closest lane and signalling to move over like a normal person, they wait forever, blocking the exit for everyone else, until all 4 lanes are clear so they can immediately go to the far side, even though their turnoff isn't for another 5 blocks.

    In dedicated dual turn lanes when people signal that they're turning even though it's backed up to where the line is no longer solid - nobody knows if they want to change lanes or if they are just signalling unnecessarily in a lane they have no choice but to turn from anyway.

    People who refer to pizza as "pie".
    Inevitably, these same people will say the word pie about 3x more than necessary when conducting simple, food-related communications.

    When a process on my PC says 100% completed while the little wheel still sits there spinning (i.e. updating windows). It's 2020, how is this still happening?

    how do we still have to wait for processes at all? Computing experience hasn't really improved that much in last decade.

    Favourite work peeve currently is when people try to buy the products my company sells, but then I realize they don't understand how it works, how to use it, or really, if they even need it.

    I'm a simple guy, and I feel like we don't want to sell products that are a bad fit, because the customer will come back and dispute the invoice and we'll all look stupid.

    Can we, PLEASE, make sure the customer needs it before we sell it? Seems like that's the best way to maintain a good reputation both personally and as a company.

    If I worked in an industry where people paid up front, I'd have a different opinion about this situation. But since nobody pays until the tools have been installed and functioned, and if something goes wrong, they don't pay at all.

    Because Windows is still a piece of shit. It is designed incorrectly from the ground up.

    When the locking mechanism on a measure tape stops working or glitchy, you know it should be replaced esp for diy level, they only go for $4.99-9.99 on sale but somehow tell yourself to stretch the use out of it more but it’s annoying af.

    The amount of "what we're doing about covid-19" spam I've gotten in the last 3 days from every fucking company that has ever had my email address.

    I feel like filtering everything with "covid" in the title straight to my spam box, but then I might miss something that's actually important.

    I don't like how no one had ever heard the term "flattening the curve" two weeks ago, and now everybody uses it like they're smart.

    Last time I tried to flatten the curve, it was wiggling into some control-tops for my night out. Meow.
