What are some little things that drive you crazy, you obsess about, or can’t pull the trigger on?

For me it’s cell/iPad chargers... I make plenty of money, travel for work, and internally struggle pulling the trigger on just ordering a handful of chargers that can permanently live where I need them. There’s no logical explanation. One of my two chargers (that I pack and repack weekly) snapped off into my iPad (see tech board for a useful tip), and now I’m left with one, despite needing to have three devices charged.

Just pulled the trigger on 5 cables on amazon. Sick of it. Years!

What’s something little that would be easily corrected that drives you nuts.

Wife and the kids leaving doors to cabinets open. I was just told that one of the hinges on a cabinet is broken and they couldn’t figure out how this happened.’

I need to send some shoes to Allen Edmonds to be refinished and resoled. It takes about 6 weeks to get them back. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to get by without my favorite pair of shoes for about 5 weeks. It drives me nuts to think I could have them back in a week if I sent them as soon as they broke, but the weeks still tick off and they sit in a box just waiting for a mailing label.

I don't know whats so difficult about printing the label and mailing them off, yet here I am.

Everywhere you go... people drive 10+ mph below the speed limit and take forever to accelerate or get out of the road when turning. Drives me batchit crazy... doesn't matter if I'm not in a hurry with nowhere in particular I'm going. In fact, I could be needing to kill time going somewhere and it still unreasonably pisses me off.

I'm with ya, they're all retards that should have their license pulled. They just love being in their car for some crazy reason.

Yeah I'm like this at times too. I've got a 6 minute trip and I'm unreasonably upset about the person making it 15 seconds longer.

I had a roommate in college who would always do this. Whenever one of us would leave trash out in the common area, he would leave it at the door to our room, which was something his parents did. So one time he left a bunch of cabinets open and we got out the screwdriver, took all the cabinet doors off the hinges, and placed them at the foot of his door.

Cabinets were shut after that

When I operate any type of door in my house it has an open and close function. When the other occupants of this dwelling operates them....they only seem to have an open function.

It’s mind boggling.

When I'm working out, I cannot end on 13, or any multiple of 13.

It is the absolute damnest thing. I watched both of her parents do this same shite over the last week and both times it was at my house. I finally stopped and showed all of them how to close a door. The Microwave is another item here that stays violated. If the door isn’t closed, the timer is down to :01 and I can’t see the time clock when I pass by it.
