I have no idea why this bugs me. It might be the silliest item listed so far, but… When I’m on the phone with someone and they’re typing on the keyboard, for some reason it gives me the willies. I can usually supress it though, which is a good thing since I work in telecom and people are often typing up notes while your talking to them.
Wait, AFAIK, “uni” just means “university”. Am I wrong? Does it have an alternate meaning? Because I’ve never heard “university” shortened to “varsity”. Do they do that somewhere?
I’m confused now.
I used to run a restaurant, and I got really sick of having to go in the bathrooms once an hour and pick up the paper towels littered all over the floor, because the jackass customers couldn’t be bothered to put them in the garbage can that was only two feet away. So I can certainly understand why some places use those blowers.
Me, though… my hatred for those blowers outweighed my dislike of picking up paper towels. 
Get some sheets of sticky labels, big ones, the two per page are ideal. Laser-print “NO PARKING, DICKHEAD” on each one, and affix them to the windscreen of each offending vehicle. Preferably get the labels that don’t peel off cleanly and leave a sticky residue. Sure, it’s childish, but it might make the driver use a couple of their meagre supply of brain cells pondering their actions as they try to scrub it off.
Umm… I thought it was an American contraction? Now I’m confused! My grandmother started calling it that after she married an American and moved to California.
Wikipedia seems to agree with me.
If I’m out walking and discover a spider web face-first, it’s probably a funny thing to watch from another perspective - I pretty much lose my shit and dance around scraping at my face and hissing loudly. Then, for the next 20 minutes or so I can still feel the web on my face and am constantly wiping it away.
Hey, the British did that, and a long time ago, apparently; you can’t blame us Americans for this one. I actually had no idea that’s where “varsity” came from, probably because here, I’ve only ever heard it used to refer to a high school sports team. There’s the varsity squad, which is the most talented players who actually represent the school in games, and then junior varsity (“JV”), which is second-tier players who are usually vying for a spot on the varsity team. (JV has games, too, but nobody really goes to them.) I can’t imagine anyone here saying something like, “My kid’s away at varsity”. Nor would they say, “My kid’s at uni/university”. Most people just call it “college”, or occasionally “school”, even if it’s actually a university:
A: “Back when I was in college(/school), I ate lots of ramen.”
B: “Oh, where’d you go to college(/school)?”
A: “University of Iowa.”
It drives me nuts when someone has used every square inch of a counter or table to store stuff.
I’m as cluttered as the next person, I admit. I will also put things off and let them pile up. But that’s the key – pile UP. I will make multiple piles if necessary, but stuff goes UP vertically instead of OUT horizontally, so that there’s still room for more stuff.
When I have anything to say about it, there’s always some clean tabletop or counterspace to set something on, should my hands be full. That’s what it’s for. Clean unused space is working space, it’s not useless. And it’s not for storage.
I have to deal with people at work who carefully arrange the office clutter evenly across the counter, taking up all the space, rather than putting all the staplers/tape dispensers/stapler removers/pens/paperclips to one side and leaving blank working space. Of course they’re probably ranting somewhere about the guy who piles everything in the corner and “wastes” the rest of the countertop.
At home, my beloved likes to decorate shelves and counters and windowsills and coffee tables and end tables by scattering small objects on them, spaced out at aesthetically-pleasing intervals. I try not to twitch as I carefully nudge them apart just enough to be able to set down an ordinary sheet of paper and hope she won’t notice the rearrangement.

In Canada we do say “school” for university, but not “college” (in Quebec there are pre-university schools called colleges, but more often called by their French acronym, cégeps.)
Like you I’ve never heard “varsity” used to mean university in general, but I have heard it for university sports.
At the end of a dental appointment, my dentist likes to wipe my teeth off with gauze. It makes me want to kick and scream and even typing it just now makes my stomach hurt.
My husband says it doesn’t bother him at all. He is cleary psychotic.
I’vr posted before about my total adversion to the wooden paddles used to eat ice cream. If someone else is using one, I have to stop what I’m doing and get them a real spoon.
The teeth are fine. My dental hygienist tries to wipe my lips. Don’t fucking do that.
Make a note on my chart.

Sorry. Where were we?
I’ve only ever heard “varsity” used for school teams in high school. Varsity basketball or varsity football. The younger team would be “junior varsity”.
I have never ever ever heard anyone use “varsity” to mean university (maybe the sports teams, but that’s it). “When I was at varsity” would make no sense. Most people would say, “When I was in college”, though I’m weird and say uni.
Hmmm, you won’t want to go to dinner with me then. Usually I narrow it down to two items or three and then ask which one the server thinks is better.
I love these. Keep them in the console of my car. In fact I gave out two last night.
Did you not even take a break for a snack? Some ramens, perhaps, or maybe some rices or popcorns?
When I’m in a food court or fastfood restaurant and I don’t know what I want I’ll stand several feet away from the counter. Frequently the person at the counter will ask if I need any help. No I don’t need any freaking help! If I did I’d come up to the counter and ask for it. Leave me alone. I’m going to the stall next door and get a slice of pizza.
