40mph frequently is freeway speed.
Or feed, since a lot of people are eating ramen or cereal while on the freeway.

A good traffic circle should be designed so you can take it at 70MPH without going over the middle.
There are a couple of intersections in Truckee where people can turn right on red onto 267, a 55 MPH road. People are incapable of judging closing distance of cars going that speed. I've had a couple of near misses over the years.
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.
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.
yes
Roundabouts when you're in a real hurry. Car passed me after the 2nd roundabout.

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.
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.
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.
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
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?

the wing stop delivery commercial that opens with the sound of a door bell ringing and causes my dogs to lose their shit.
Annoys me, but also amuses me at times…
My dog flips out when he hears a screeching eagle or hawk on the TV.

Movies or tv showing a bald eagle....and using a redtail hawk audio.
Long, slow road turns that have multiple radii.
Oh, and pretentious twats that sling words like "radii" around.
Windows 11, which was installed without my permission. The laptop doesn't work right. The printers don't work right (with Windows 11 drivers.) Chrome doesn't work right. TGR doesn't work right. (OK, TGR has never worked right. Can't blame that on Microsoft I spose.)
Every other on/off ramp in this town works that way. It’s like the designer said, “okay, where should we put the straight section?” I hope one of our homeless people is the guy who designed them and then lost his job for it.
To call back from a couple pages ago, every third driver here comes to a complete stop before merging onto the highway. It’s utter insanity.
