Sriracha - I mean...c'mon folks. It's garlic and chili sauce, and it's not even very good. Somehow though, it's so wildly popular that now you can get the flavor of that drek in almost anything your little heart desires. When is Starbucks going to debut the Sriracha-mochacino that they can fleece the baa-ing and bleeting masses $8.95 for the privilege of drinking?
Yoga pants. They are a privilege, not a right. If you look like a busted can of biscuits when you wear your $100 yoga pants and your "cute boots", you are doing it wrong. Back to sweatpants and bathroom slippers for you.
Junk on rear view mirrors. Dreamcatchers - do you sleep in your car? Rosaries - not doing you any good hanging off the rear view mirror, you little mackarel-muncher. Badges, beads, and other assorted flotsam and jetsam. Just knock it off.
The wanna-be doomsday preppers. Look chief...if you can't climb a flight of stairs without breaking out in a sweat and wheezing, you aren't impressing anybody with your 4XL "tactical" load-bearing vest, nor do you instill any confidence about your skills as a tactical operator. You go right ahead and keep prepping for the apocalypse, but I might suggest you get off the couch occasionally to get ready and in shape. If things turn out bad, the rest of us are going to eat the fat and slow members of society. Mmmm...long pig.
Have you ever noticed that toilet paper rolls are narrower than they were 5 years ago? It's a fact. You pay approximately the same price for the same number of rolls, but you are actually getting less square footage of TP. So, in actuality, the price of TP has gone up dramatically, but the manufacturers play a little trick on the consumer.

Speaking of shopping carts.. I just got back from Costco and in all the years I've gone there no one has ever rearranged the stuff in my cart, but this cashier decided to for some reason and he laid down the big items that I bought so i would have to lean down to pick them up instead of them sticking up out of the cart. My back often hurts so I put them that way for a reason. I wanted to say something but I didn't because I'm too chicken to speak up in public. 
I absolutely hate sunny days. I REALLY hate walking out in the sun. It is hot, makes you sweaty and uncomfortable and gives you cancer. I have to close my eyes every time I have to go outside in the sun and that is really awkward. You can call me a sort of real life vampire, that would be accurate. I would rather walk in the heavy rain than to walk in the sunshine, though most people like it the other way round...

Teeth hitting teeth! Clicking or grinding your teeth around me is like fingernails down a chalkboard. "I'm not going to lie." It gives me the heebeegeebees. AND I can pull out my revenge, if need be. I used to teach, and when I couldn't get the kids to quiet down, I ran my fingernails down the chalkboard, because that doesn't bother me.
Modern day symbols. Why wasn't "On" and "Off" good enough? Were the words just to hard to spell? Too long? I honestly need to pull out the directions on how to turn on my cell phone because there is no on/off buttons. And we have electric mouse traps with O/-. Wuuuuuuuuut? How is the letter O supposed to tell me what the word is? And the only thing I want to subtract with the machine is a mouse or two. The only way I know if I turned it on or off is to click it two to three times to see when the green light goes on and when it goes off. If it has enough room for a green light (AND A DEAD MOUSE), it has enough room for the words "On" and "Off.")
And this goes beyond on/off. I have a tray of symbols in the bottom of my computer screen. One of them is a finger pushing a button. (Or is it poking someone in the eye?) I've tried it. I push the finger. It doesn't do anything. Why show me "push your finger here" if I'm not supposed to push my finger here? I know it's not touch screen, so why have me touch it there? Do they have stock in Windex?
And then there is the graph thingy. I used to think it was Microsoft telling me how its stock is doing. After a few years, I figured that can't be right, because their stock hasn't moved in years. Now people who can turn on their phones without an instruction sheet know that as "The five bar" symbol. BUT, I have a desktop. This computer is NOT portable. Exactly how long do I need to know this one and only place my computer is has five-bars of signaling? I'm not that dumb. I'm on the Internet so obviously I have enough signal to get me here.
And then there is something that looks like a bullhorn. I bet you think that's the sound icon. Nope. The sound icon has a wave of sound in front of it and it's white. This is orange. No idea what it means, and I'm scared to touch it for fear I'll break it.
Most frustrating. There is an envelope with a huge exclamation point over it. That used to be the button to push to get to my gmail, but Google defunct that for old computers. So every day for the last 5-10 years one of the things my computer does is tell me it cannot connect me to me gmail. No kidding! I'd fix that, BUT there is no icon to click on to remove dead icons! OR is that what the orange bullhorn does, but I don't dare touch that either because it can't just tell me with words what they all mean?

So I bungs in a disc transferred some songs to my mac.....then scratches head trying to
work out how to get the thing out!
Button on the side? Nope
Button underneath? Nope
Eject symbol on screen? Nope
Starts frantically looking at every symbol on the keyboard, should I press them all?
Will it break if I do?
I ended up leaving that disc in for nearly a week, than one day by accident, I
pressed this button with a little triangle on its side and out pops the disk!
Phew......
I thought it was the volume control button.

Something else that bothers me -- people who go around with rulers so they can take a picture of a spider. Who does that? AND why didn't the spider move?
