oh wow Grammarly and i both missed that now lol
How aspirational.
Embroider it on a pillow in cursive.
Make that quadruple for “wellness journey”.
Sorry, you’re in the wrong thread, as your complaint is definitely within the boundaries of very important (because it’s my complaint, too)!
or perhaps a Chicago sunroof.
Laughter.
If something is funny, by all means, let’s laugh. Let’s appreciate it good and well. But after a certain point, get over it. After a while, if it’s gotten hysterical, or performative, or just too shrill and loud… well, one of these days I’m afraid I’m going to hurt someone.
While a friend was in the hospital, she displayed a card that said:
PLEASE DO NOT REFER TO MY ILLNESS AS A JOURNEY…
…unless you’re buying me a round-the-world cruise.

By the way, this thread title could be the job description of any guy over sixty.
Yes, as is “Diet Coke, no ice.” Bartender at my favorite watering hole will scoop up a cup of ice, then look at me. Our eyes lock, and she says, sheepishly “Oh, wait… ‘No Ice’, right?”
people who stand right in front of the greeter at Costco before spending 5 minutes looking through their wallet/purse/pockets for their membership card, causing a backup getting INTO the store.
Is there any other kind?
It has happened to me. Because this backwards state makes stickers that can be removed easily. 
It’s not too hard to get it replaced, but I don’t like driving around without it until the new one comes. Also one time someone tried to steal my license plate by yanking it off. Of course that didn’t work, so now I have a bent license plate. But that’s okay because we’re getting a new venus flytrap plate, and when I renew, I’m getting one of those!
Back to the OP, just coming off watching the Diamondbacks -
the use of “vee lo” in place of the perfectly fine word “velocity”. I hate it almost as much as “side hustle”.
I actually used to be the same way until I found out I was the asshole who cut into the right lane occasionally. Some times it can’t be helped. The left lane has less traffic and eventually I discover why. The traffic buildup sometimes occurs before the warning signs can be seen.
So, I pay it forward. If somebody needs to cut in front of me, I let them. They may not have intended it, and it’s not worth adding stress to an already stressful situation.
I had multiple chances to do this in five minutes yesterday. A right lane that was clearly marked as “Closes in 1/2Mile/Closes in 1/4 Mile/Closes in 500 Feet/Closes in 100 Feet”… with SO many drivers flying up the soon-to-be-closed lane and trying to butt in, in front of those of us who’d moved over long ago like the good citizens we are!
I found myself letting some cars in, but only after judging the driver’s entitlement and the price of the car:
The woman with an older minivan full of rambunctious kids got a pass for probably being frazzled and not noticing.
But anyone with a showy, expensive car got shunned… one yahoo with mirror shades driving a throaty Corvette got shut out by a good dozen cars in a row. All he could do was rev his engine in frustration (and presumably mutter “Don’t you people know how much my law firm bills a year?”).
How would having them all over your plate make them harder to steal, anyways? There seems little logic to that, regardless of how the stickers are made.
I started a whole thread on the subject.
I always find it a little annoying when I’m entering my address on a website and it asks for my city, state, and ZIP code. It could just ask for the ZIP code and auto-fill the city and state.
I put the new sticker over the old one. It’s getting a bit sloppy; I should probably peel some of the old ones off next time.
Also “tactical”. I think there’s a fortune to be made in tactical bacon.
General lack of planning drives me crazy. The person in front of me at the grocery store waiting patiently for everything to be tallied up, and only then do they begin fishing around in their TARDIS of a bag for their wallet, and points card, and credit card. Public transit is even worse: waiting until they’ve actually stepped up onto the bus and are blocking the entrance before remembering to search for their pass/transfer/money.
This thread can possibly be split into two: one for the real topic which is things that don’t truly matter in the long haul and we’re just being annoyed for silly reasons, and one for “you know what kind of dumb assholes really grind my gears?” because a lot of those actualy cause trouble and escalating delays.
When you are with a coworker at their computer and you have to watch them try to navigate around but they’re so bad at it. They have no shortcuts to their most common files and don’t know how to just go up a level or two in the folders. Or they have their own personal filing system based on the “Color” of the case instead of the subject or type of case… etc., etc.
Which is exactly what the woman at the County Treasurer’s office told me when I traded cars and transferred my plate from old car to new(er) car.
