But how else do you explain the exponential expansion of space in the early universe?
It irks me that everyone always says they're a good driver when in reality everyone makes a mistake every week or so. Also what is the point in complaining about traffic lights when they're machines? What are you going to do convince them to turn green?
When someone says nothing when i do something good, but rag on every mistake.
Support threads where there's no answer/you gotta register for the answer/answer was PM'ed to the OP/answer leads to a dead link/people who deny that there's a problem in the first place.
It's been mentioned at least once every month, but I've just had to deal with that shit now, and it pisses me the fuck off.
It's always the issues that you don't think would be that hard to find an answer for.

Good driving is relative. I'll make a mistake every little bit but I don't make mistakes like playing Fallout Shelter at 45 mph or taking my eyes off the road to look at my passenger or something. I saw a post on reddit recently from someone who admitted to typing out this multi-paragraph post while driving, and I'd consider myself a saint at the wheel compared to him. There's a light near my house that's never busy, always red when coming from my direction, takes long enough to change that a stop sign would be more efficient, and it has no camera on it. Yet, I never just pull up, look both ways, and blow through it, because the law exists for safety and I'm not gonna break it over being forced to stop for a few seconds.
People looking at me while they talk to someone else.
Getting food stuck in my teeth. It's happened a fair bit lately, especially when there are no toothpicks nearby.
When you announce that you have lost something, and then everyone asks you "where did you last see it?"
I DON'T KNOW, HENCE WHY I HAVE [B]LOST[/B] IT! :v:

Even better if they've actually got a bluetooth earbud in so you're doubly sure they're talking to you until they state otherwise
When someone's like "Why are you laughing? What's so funny!? Do you think this is funny?" when it's clearly just a nervous laugh because they're in a bad situation

Fucking Printers. Mine always decides to pull some stupid tedious shit whenever I need to print shipping labels, and I end up wasting time reconnecting it to my Wi-Fi network and having to restart it so my Laptop can recognize it.
CUT THAT SHIT OUT. STOP.

Why not connect through USB?
People who keep using the same (often simplistic) adjective to describe anything. 'Dinner was really good and I had a really good time, he's just a really good guy!'. Stop it. There's other ways to describe things than really good all the time.

Even when I'm typing a post here on FP, I generally tend to go "wait, I just used that fucking adjective, I can't use it twice" because it's just lazy writing
I don't like judging other people's tastes, but it annoys me when people bob their heads to an absolutely terrible, grating song.
Tbh I bob my head to pretty much anything, it's just a reflex of mine.

Most of my extra PC cords & cables are buried in storage.
I was able to sync it up with my main PC earlier tonight, hopefully that'll solve the issue. It's a little thing that takes 2-3 minutes to fix but goddamn is it irritating when it happens.
People who think I'm sad because of the way my voice sounds. I can't help it so fuck off.
bed bugs, lil fuckers
when people eat with their mouth open. I hate that sound so very, very much.
Don't honk your horn if there's no emergency, it just puts drivers around you on edge.

Having to bend over to pick things up. It's a strain on my back, really sucks if I have a full stomach/heartburn, and kneeling doesn't work either, cause then my knees hurt.

Have you tried squatting? It keeps your back straight.

On the flipside, when people say they're really bad at something (e.g. driving) but in fact are really good at it. Like you're allowed to be good at things, just don't flaunt it.
FYI that doesn't count for situations where people genuinely underestimate themselves, but most of the time it's obvious between surprising and sandbagging (or whatever the appropriate word is).
