Youtubers that upload clips of new episodes before they have aired in my country.
Some people, namely ARC Trooper TV, Star Wars Rebels and Video Clips HD will upload clips from new episodes of Star Wars Rebels about 12 hours before they air in my country and they show up in my recommended feed. This annoys me greatly because the titles alone just spoil it for me without even watching them. Whats worse is, if I even watch videos related to them, they still plague my recommended feed with these spoilers.

I used to try to avoid Youtube completely on Saturdays because of this. Like when "The Last Battle" was about to come on, I seen a video titled "Rex and Kolani settle their differences" on the front page. That's quite a plot twist I would have never seen coming otherwise and that ruined the episode for me. Why can't they just wait a day or two before uploading these so it don't spoil it for others?! (Thank goodness for the video blocker extension on Chrome!)

Because views.

If the writing staff here get a scoop on something, do you think they're going to wait until someone else posts it first?

That was my first guess. It almost reminds me of the suggestions forum in a way.

Not likely, but what the writing staff here posts doesn't bother me as these Youtubers do. I personally don't compare them to these Youtubers because they're two different things in my opinion.

I do wonder if these Youtubers even think about showing courtesy to those that have yet to even see the episode or if they're even aware that others haven't at all.

Well let me say that life itself confuses me. It's a mystery to me really.

You're not alone. Many of use are baffled by life.

This thread reminds me of the What Grinds Your Gears? thread which I quite liked but was shut down due off topic slow chat. Let's hope this one doesn't go the same way. *wink wink*
 
The fact that every paranormal video ever recorded was done so with a toaster.
Ghosts must really hate 1080P cameras.

Couples that take PDA to a whole new level, always all over eachother.

Anyone who buys more than 2 lotto tickets at convineince stores. Not only are you likely wasting your money but your also holding everyone else in line up.

Store clerks that are far too chatty. I dont want to have a 20 minute conversation about your dog, I just wanna buy my stuff and leave.


 
When kids these days prefers to watch someone else play a video game for hours on end, rather than play it themselves. Not necessarily including watching speed runs and getting tips, but rather watching people play something like Minecraft for like 4 hours.

That snapchat is a thing.

That its so tough/expensive/impossible(?) to get licensing for good equipment on the console, i.e. ProtoSim Pedals, DD wheels, etc.

Meh, they can buy as many tickets as they want, it's their money. But if they then stand there holding up the line while they scratch them off, that's downright rude. Even if it's just one ticket.

wait... this is thread is about little stuff...

Ketchup Packets

Seriously, how do these things still exist. They're impossible to open, have a tiny amount of ketchup, are usually covered in gross, and are just so wasteful. The tubs exist, use the tubs restaurants!

Something that really annoys me is when people overreact over the smallest of things. I also find it annoying when some older people act like complete :censored:holes toward us young people and treat us like utter dog poo simply for the fact that they are older than us. Prime example of both which just happened to me earlier today in a Napa store, I was inside making a list of tools I had to get and spied some diecast on a shelf. There was two or three of every car, and right as I saw them the employee asked me if I needed help finding anything. I said no but asked if any of the diecast was for sale as I wasn't sure. The employee said no, but then the store owner came out from the stock room and blew up on me. I was basically told to get out of the store and not come back for the rest of the year. He said more than just that but I don't want this post to be too long.

I've heard of overreactions, but this is just plain overkill.

Same thing I said to myself. Especially since its in a small town and almost everybody including myself knows the owner as an easy going, laid back and respectful as they come kind of guy. Some people might not know him well at all but that "everybody knows everybody in a small town" thing makes it as though he's a local celebrity. Needless to say I was pretty surprised when he got upset the way he did.

I was behind one of those the other day. After he'd finished surgically selecting scratchcards from the perspex display unit he produced a wodge of lottery tickets to be checked. The queue (including me) began to tut and sigh, then it turned out the bugger had won £176. He was lucky to make it out alive.

It's perhaps one of the most boring jobs you can have. I did it for nearly 7 years and I was thrilled any time a customer would acknowledge I was more than a robot. :lol:

That happened to me every once in awhile, every time it happened I just told them to come back when it wasn't as busy. Considering stores really don't make much on lotto sales themselves it makes no sense to hold up other customers because of it.
 
I'm sure we already are annoyed with all the clickbait article titles.

But the ones that have been used lately tick me off. Mainly: "We(or I) did X. And it was Y." The part that annoys me the most is the second part. Why do I need to know what your "reaction" was to what you did? For example...."We went to the Nissan museum. And it was excellent." or "I drove the new Volkswagen Atlas. And it was crap." Then again, with these clickbait articles, people want to know why the writer had that reaction.
 
Songs that have been edited for radio. Heard some really bad examples today that made this worth mentioning.

It's especially worse if you've heard the song in its original form beforehand.

If you're not going to play the whole song, then why bother playing it at all?

People that take forvever to respond to friend requests on Facebook despite being on pretty often.
This both confuses and annoys me sometimes and it's even worse when it's an old friend that you haven't spoke to in a long time. Okay, I can understand if they need to look through a yearbook or something to see if they do know you and I can also imagine they may forget it was sent after the notification disappears. However, if I sent (or resent) it to you weeks, months or even years ago and you haven't bothered to respond to it despite being on pretty often, that's just ridiculous. Is taking a few seconds out of your day to respond to a friend request really too much to ask for?!

Sometimes it's hilarious. Fun Lovin' Criminals' "Scooby Snacks" chorus was changed from

"Running around robbing banks
All wacked off of Scooby Snacks!"

to

"Running around ------ banks
All ------ of ------!"

So wrong you can't help but laugh at it.
 
People with similar names.

I have a bad habit of getting people's names mixed up because of how similar they sound. 2 people I know ony have 1 letter difference.

I never knew someone shares my opinions on that, especially snapchat. If I wanna share images to my family and friends, I use this...

If I wanna share images and clips to the public then I got this...

(Old logo I know)

So apart from those "cool face changes' that every teenagers drool at, I don't see anything new apart from sending temporary images whichs stupid IMO.
 
When one single thing has two or more common names, and you need to buy whatever that thing is, you search using one of the names and get nothing. Then you use the other name and get every possible result. For example zip ties which can also be called cable ties.

When you do nothing but laze around and play on your phone or hop on video games all day long and no one bothers you, but then the very second you start to do something more productive or important and suddenly it's as if you're the most famous person in the world.
 
You know, I came to this thread because I thought someone annoyed me, but then I realised I don't actually care. I was annoyed about a guy who's property I'm working on at the moment because he was being genuinely unreasonable. But, really I have no reason to get annoyed about it. There's no point getting caught up by someone who is unreasonable, and unwilling to find out why.

I think it's worse when multiple things have the same name. The other day someone at work asked me to bring tape, which could mean duct tape, tape measure, or warning tape. All of which we needed at one point or another, all referred to simply as "tape". That's fun. :P
 
Hair growing out.

Ok, I'm not confused as I have looked into the science of it, but it annoys me to shave and get hair cuts every so often without my control.

I just want to be bald (well mostly bald anyway).
