re: Do you have any dumb pet peeves?

Don't know if this counts as a pet peeve but I don't like American odds when gambling. Decimal odds make so much more sense. American odds are set up for you to put down $100 bets on everything like a schmuck. Decimal works for any value.
The exception is horse racing, which should be in fractional odds.

Stickers on bananas drive me insane

When you are at a red light and the fellow in the car behind you or next to you is picking his nose. Wait, you think that nobody's watching?

"Should of" is not a thing, has never been a thing. People say should've and type it as "should of."

Stickers on any produce that refuses to come off.
And for "dumb" pet peeves mine is that I need to have the surround sound speakers that sit on our entertainment center line up square and flush with the edges of the surface they sit on.
Our house keeper moves them off off of square every time she dusts. And it irks the shite out of me.
Then a little voice in my head, probably my grandmothers, says Tyger, you need to just be grateful that you even HAVE speakers, or a house keeper".

Personally, I don't think it's dumb... but mine is when people reply all to emails that don't require collaboration or input... like: "I will be taking a few days off for blah blah blah, call so and so"... then 100 people reply all "enjoy your time off!".
People's misuse of the reply all button drives me insane.
I swear half my emails I get every day are "thank you" to something I'm just copied on and has no relevance to me.

When I want to turn right on red and some clown that's going straight is sitting in the lane when there's a perfectly good left lane for them to have used. Bonus points for when its something where a lot of right on reds happen like a turn on for a highway.
I realize its fully irrational for me to expect people to do that it just frustrates the impatient part of me for some reason.

I started a thread about this a while back.
Also when DR.ACH won't take her top off during our zoom sessions.

I have a few but my biggest would be the motha flippin produce bags at grocery stores. I can not get the damn thing open. I’ve started tearing 3 or 4 off the roll and wrapping the produce in that instead of sitting there for 10 minutes cussing and fussing.

People who pull up to an intersection and sit for 2-3 minutes.
Then pull up another 2-3 feet like "now I'm really ready to pull out"

Happens at work all the time. Usually like
“Hey, I sent over to you this report. In regards of this item, I took action x y and z because that’s what I believe to be the best approach to be. Please let me know your feedback”
And the response will just be “no problem.”
Are you saying my judgement was correct or are you saying it doesn’t matter to the overall scope of the report?
Or sometimes I will do something obviously not an issue and they’ll just say no problem because they don’t know what else to say.
“Hey, I changed the setting from A to H in the system.”
“No Problem.”
Of course it’s not a problem. I wouldn’t have done it if I thought it would be. I’m letting you know for professional courtesy
It’s just bad communication like 85% of the time I feel like

Slow walkers, picky eaters, people that weave in and out of traffic, people that have their shirt tucked in without a belt.

Well that's just stupid, there's multiple reasons why backing in is better.
Except most people suck at doing it and take forever. I also constantly see back into a space when the space in front of it is empty too. How fricking stupid do you have to be to back into that space when you could just pull through.

People who need a second to adjust while entering a grocery store. I've been noticing it more lately and it makes my fricking blood boil.
Take 2 steps inside and STOP...then situate purse in cart, get phone/list out, look around the store like they've never seen a fricking grocery before...all the while clogging up the door
