I'll start with two that always annoy me

- People in the bar order "beer" and the bartender knows exactly what they want

- Any time someone is on a computer, the computer will beep and make noises when it's doing things

Anything to do with guns. Like the clicking sound everytime a gun is pointed somewhere.


I didn’t see the “everyday” thing. I guess it’s that for some people.

People always finding an empty parking space on the street in front of wherever they are going.

High school teacher in the middle of a lecture as the bell rings and the students stampede out of the classroom and teacher starts to yell about not forgetting to do homework.

How people at the end of a slasher movie never realize all their friends are dead until the killer is chasing them.

When the news is shown on TV they get the story right

Anytime there is a big car chase scene with multiple wrecks and speeding through stoplights with cross traffic I think about how Ive never seen anything like that in real life and how is that such a common scene in movies


I mean they are fun don’t get me wrong but it bothers me lol

Not saying "bye" when ending a phone call is a huge one.

People walking right into the house without unlocking the door.

Noisily peeling out when a car pulls off.

The way people so casually talk to detectives and then say "are we done now?" There's a John mulaney bit on it on law and order

My wife and I laugh about this every time we finish having sex. In movies they finish and the woman just casually rolls off and cuddles. That’s not how it works. My wife calls what she does to go clean up, the after sex waddle, to make it from sexy time place to the bath room.

How many times have you seen someone walk into a bathroom, put some water in the sink, dunk their hands in and then rub them on their face before looking at themselves in the mirror...contemplating. Not sure I have ever done this in real life.

Doesn't happen in every show and movie but holy hell do people get lucky with having elevators already on their floor when they hit the button.

They never have to wait.


Not an everyday thing, but Mythbusters did show that you can't just run your car through a gate or barrier without the car getting heavily damaged.

Pulling a fire alarm pull station and all the sprinklers activate, drenching the whole building.

That's the movie life safety equivalent of turning on the bathroom light and it makes the toilet flush.

Sex in public restrooms

Maybe I’m just a germophobe, but if no one else is in the bathrrom, I’m pulling my shirt up over my nose as a mask to minimize the obligatory public restroom shite smell. And if any part of my body makes skin contact with any part of the bathrrom, I’m removing that layer of skin with sandpaper. It’s the last place I’m thinking about having sex.

I don’t care if there’s a Victoria’s Secret supermodel in there waiting to frick my brains out. Even though it’s only gonna take 30 seconds, I’ll pass.

ETA: Same goes for people throwing up in public toilets - they just grab the rim of the toilet with their hands. Please tell me no one does this in real life.
