^^^^LOL. Now when I'm in the kitchen, I have to wear a headband since the ceiling fan has to be on.
A/C would make it too cold for my hothouse-flower DH!
Y'know, when I get occasionally miffed that we can't get Amazon deliveries here, I realize how wonderful life has become with NO MAIL, NO PHONE CALLS, NO DRIVING frustrations, no TV (but we've only had Netflix for decades, anyway, by choice), so no commercials.
People are not rude and if they were, I couldn't understand them anyway, LOL.
Totally agree about packaging. I have heard ER visits are way up due to cuts trying to open them. One pet peeve of mine is mayo in plastic bags here! Peanut butter (if you can get it) comes that way too. With a 1/4" opening....I never knew JARS were a first-world upgrade!
It bothers me when someone who has an extremely easy job description has to be repeatedly asked to do their "one job" (the execution of which supports your far more stressful job). And gives you attitude if you don't ask the right way. And management is no help. Can't wait for this individual to quit.
The fact that I cannot know what is is like to be every person living or growing up in every possible area. I cannot even conceptualize what life is/was like for many people.
Speaking of radio they are apparently now teaching them to read the teleprompter in spurts. I hear it on raido, in ads, even on TV.

Rather than learning proper intonation pacing and phrasing for meaningful expression. they instead simple say a group of words, stop then say another group and stop again. I think they believe it makes them sound like they are being thoughtful. To me it sounds like they have difficulty reading full sentences. Listen to any radio show and the ads, you will hear this. it is a lot more prevalent than you might expect.
Oh and why can't the doctors just fix my knees already?
Social events where the noise level is so high that you have to shout to the person right next to you...and they still don't hear what you're saying...
The fact that every popular Christmas song has to get remade by dozens of singers. Eventually, the sub-par remakes get more airplay than the classic originals.
One of my biggest gripes would be about people who were never taught manners. Many people from other cultures were never taught to say thank you and other common courtesies, yet they seem to adopt the arrogance consistently. I wouldn't say we get the cream of the crop from abroad like other countries do because of their strict merit requirements, but instead, we get way too many rude leaches who are relatively socially inept.
Thinking I am above average, and then I promptly get brought back to reality.
I am not quick witted. I always think of the super awesome comeback two hours after the exchange has already ended and I've already walked away looking like a damn fool.
Receiving any advice from siblings or friends who are younger than me.
Every time I try to sing in the car on my way home, I start coughing.
Every time I go to squeeze ketchup out of the bottle, I always get a bit of the red water first.
Whenever somebody holds a door open for me, I am always just far enough away that I am forced to break into a run to get to the door.
Every time I trip on a crack in the sidewalk, there is always the decision matrix: 1. look back at the crack angrily. 2. Do a little jogging dance to regain my balance and play it off. 3. Just walk right off as if nothing happened.
Why does everybody in Whittier Alaska live in one apartment building? Are people averse to buying land and building single family homes?
Why do the Massachusetts State Police look like Nazi Soldiers!?
Why are moths attracted to light!?
AAA!! I'M HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS!!
Anyway, those are just a couple things off the top of my head.

People who don't put an effort into their job or career...or who are lazy and purposefully avoid doing their very best.
I respect all who stand out as excellent in their work, no matter what type of work they do...it's important IMO to always do your best...like being a hairdresser, plumber, hotel clerk, CEO, garbage collector, a McD employee.
I am in constant pain. Legs, lower back, shoulders. I'm also dizzy much of the time. I take Ibuprofen every day, but the pain remains. Also, sleep is a constant issue. It may be related to the pain. If I get 6 hours, I consider that a win.
Other then that, life is great! I'm retired, have no money issues. I have a wonderful spouse, live in a great little town, have great neighbors. It's all good, except for the constant pain. Is this what I have to look forward to for the next 20 to 40 years?

Me too! Kind of sounds like a first world problem. I squeeze the bottle over the sink until I get good ketchup.
