Extremely niche pet peeve. Mine could not be less important and stupid, I know.

People not opening condiment packages (think ketchup packs or the tubs) in a orderly efficient way.

Some people are savages. Ripping a package and squeezing it with half the ketchup still left in the package and a quarter of it dripping down the side of the pack.

Ripping half the top of the tub and crushing the tub while doing it so it leans over on it's side.

ETA...I neatly rip the corner totally off and then pinch and slide my finders down to completely and cleanly empty the pack. With tubs, I pull the film top off completely.

Second edit...I'll even downvote myself bc I know this is so stupid. But it annoys the shite out of me.

Right? The proper way is to bite holes into it with your teeth then squeeze it out of those.

How often are you using condiment packets that this is an actual pet peeve?

If you ask nicely, your Manager may switch you to drive-thru so you don't have to witness this traumatic event any longer.

Some of the things that get under OT poster’s skin make me wonder how many people IRL are a side-eye away from driving a pickup through a crowd.

Who cares if it leans on its side?

On the rare occasion I’m able to cleanly peel off a chick fil a condiment top, in one go without it ripping,I know the rest of the day will be solid.

Not OCD at all. But this thing with condiment packages gets under my skin. The funny thing is I have an extremely OCD friend (he needs medicine) and he rips them like a savage and is a mess with them. makes no sense

I get irrationally frustrated with high maintenance eaters.

If you’re grabbing something quick in a road trip or from a gas station get something simple and easy (nutrition bar, etc) or just eat the breakfast taco the way it comes. Don’t start trying to doctor it up with condiments, etc while everyone else is in a hurry or if you’re riding in a vehicle making life that much more complicated than it needs to be.

My wife eats one of the single serving containers of ratio yogurt every morning. Instead of peeling the foil lid off she just rams the spoon through it and rips it up. Makes her look straight up uncivilized. I have to go outside when she eats breakfast.

Not only that. How often is he around other people using condemned packages to where it aggravates him.

Are you saving these condiment packets for future meals? Who cares if the packet gets messy if you'll be throwing it away with your burger wrapper.

this, and people who don't cleanly rip the package open so the condiment dribbles down the outside of the piece still attached getting God knows what kind of nasty germs on it instead of a clean stream from the inside straight to your food
