Because I find myself getting annoyed more often due to stay at home, I thought this might be a fun topic. What's something that randomly annoys you, but might not annoy someone else?
I get annoyed when I make a post on a website/social media asking a question, and all the replies I get are not answering the question. For example, I recently made a post on Reddit asking about the TV show "Chopped." My question was if there's a way the producers decide which judge gets an incomplete dish, or if it's just random. The thread received two responses; one of them was calling the practice of giving the judges an incomplete dish unfair (there's a fourth dish that's used for closeup shots/to reveal who got chopped, and often times the complete dish will go there while the incomplete dish goes to a judge) and the other was asking, "Ooh, was this the episode where this happened?" *head desk* People, I'm asking if there's a method to what the show does. We can criticize the practice elsewhere, but not here.
I also get annoyed when people can't figure something out for themselves. My mom is the worst at this. I'll be watching a movie and she'll say, "Oh, what happens to him?" Or I'll be watching an AMW or UM episode and she'll ask, "Was he caught?" before the segment is even close to ending. Just today I was watching a "Dateline" episode and she said something like, "Did he die?" I've gotten to the point where, if it's a movie, I'll tell her, "Just watch the movie," or "I've never seen this before," and if it's a show, I tell her, "Maybe if we watch it they'll tell us."

OMG I have too long a laundry list and will be here all day but since you're mentioning social media (and yeah that crap happens to me as well) and people not being able to figure out something for themselves, sometimes my status will be about some current event in the news or whatever and people will respond with "?" or "what happened" and it's like for goodness sake, just frigging Google something if you don't know what I'm referring to. Also when I make a humorous comment and people are overly serious about something and reply with an overly serious comment to something meant as a joke. Like if I post "I just farted" (I assure you my humor is better and less juvenile than that, not much less but less), you don't need to go into a rant about carbon gas emissions. Ironically, I was re-watching George Carlin's bit on "People who ought to be killed" a few days before you posted this lol: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVlkxrNlp10 |

This might fit a little bit better in the Politics Thread, but...
Basically everything certain people say in YouTube's comments, probably just an army of trolls for hire, whom, if they don't have a blank profile, they end up having ties to Mark Dice, Stefan Molyneux, Tim Pool, and sometimes Right Side Broadcasting Network. If the commenters in question are thinly-veiled neo-Confederates, I have to wonder what became of the internet and how such swine got so much power over social media. In short, I'd say neo-Confederate sentiments are probably my biggest pet peeve today.
EDIT: If someone says they just farted, I'll make a callback to the Terrance & Philip Show. If any of you know what that is, you'll understand the connection.
