Shit that annoys you

One issue with roundabouts, esp winter weekends, is that cars get backed up and people won't let cars enter. Per the chief of police when you're stopped in a roundabout you have to keep the entering lane clear, just like you do at any other intersection. In practice this means zipper merging, which a lot of people refuse to do.

Yup - roundabouts are only limited by the morans using them. :D

The gaggle of geese gratuitously gathering and greatly gumming up the road annoys me.

The honking of horns and the honking of geese is horrible.

What? Roundabouts or morans?

Roundabouts when you're in a real hurry. Car passed me after the 2nd roundabout.

Or feed, since a lot of people are eating ramen or cereal while on the freeway.

Other shit that annoys me is the increasing number of times my fingers type something different than my brain is thinking. I don't know where the fuck "feed" came from.

Because “O” is next to “E” on your keyboard. Duh.

I make a lot of “typos” where my fingers do sort of their own thing. Has little to do with what is where on the keyboard.

Also annoying, my 20/20 vision I had my whole life is now suddenly gone. Frequently have no idea wtf I'm typing.

Heh. Summer of my 46th yr and it was like a switch was flipped. Still have 20/20 for distance, but reading print under artificial light, and my arms were no longer long enough. 1.25X drugstore readers are enough to compensate.

Huh. 48 here, have always had really good vision. Camping hiking biking etc I'm always the first to spot wildlife. I have seen dark brown rabbits in the field behind my house in the dark multiple times etc.

Definitely noticed a degradation of sight in the last year.

I always thought my fighter pilot eyesight was bullet proof and that I would never need glasses while my mother would just be rolling her eyes and saying just you wait

I could hear her cackling from the beyond one day in my 40s when I went to get some meds out of the cabinet and said why did those fucksticks change the labels to a smaller font…head slap…ah fuck

Readers shmeaders; in another 15-20 years they'll be sticking scalpels and micro-vacuumes in your eyeballs for cataracts.
Annoying.

Maybe annoying. But Dad got his cataracts removed about 5yrs ago, and his eyes turned from green to blue! That was a bit startling.

I do that too. I'm slower typing on the phone though but instead get the most annoying autocorrects. I could understand if it's an uncommon word. It will change "in" to "on" or "than" to "that" so that what I've written makes no sense if I don't catch it.

45 here...and still the only person in my whole family without glasses. But that may end soon. Having a bit of trouble seeing things at a distance especially at night. Mostly notice with bright lights where I see multiples (overlapped) of things like lettering on a road sign or the moon, or if looking thru binoculars.

That's when I had to finally get glasses myself. Now at 50 I have progressive lenses. I can't see without my glasses anymore and wear them from wake up to bedtime.

My night vision went to hell in my 30s, but I just tell myself that no one can see anything when driving at night in the rain. Pushing 50 now and can still read books and screens unassisted -- readers make things noticeably easier, but I'm in denial for now

This has just happened to me (54) since January of this year, didn't help that I got a chalazion on my eyelid in March. I'm still really good with far away and detail but close up now I need those stupid 1.25 readers, it's been an adjustment.

I've been here since 4th grade. :mad:

I was very nearsighted until Lasik in 2003, then had perfect vision for almost 20 years. Now the eyes have started their downward slide, both distance and close. :(

Summers here. They’ve gotten too hot for my enjoyment. Now that it’s cooling off I’m getting happier again. The heat annoys me anymore.

What the fuck is this?

I too am watching this game and it causes my two Danes a lot of frustration. It’s sooooo freaking annoying.

I want to kick their marketing guy/gal in the nuts for signing off on this horrible decision. Clearly a cat owner.
