People that get massive about trivial things, especially when said people verbally attack others about it. Example:
I work for the highway administration. We handle everything to do with roads, which includes taking feedback from citizens. Today, I had a lady scream at me over the phone for fifteen minutes because some litter was on the road. I mean, screaming at me over it and telling me that I'm a horrible person because I couldn't spare a worker to go out on one of the hundreds of roads we manage to pick up a little trash. Kinda busy with things like trees on powerlines and serious bridge construction and holes in the road...
I've gotten yelled at over just about anything minor at my job omg lol

well this is a societal issue. I wish I was talking about just some people, but no. this has plagued entire nations.
there used to be a time that we were able to live in peace with one another. we were different, but we put those differences to work. we laid everything out on the table so we could try to understand the bigger picture. we didn't treat those different from us as evil. now? fuggetaboudit. the last USA elections? I lost 5 friends over that because they couldn't cope with the fact I supported the opposite ideas than them. and IM A CANADIAN!!! if oppositions cant get along to fix problems that both sides face, there will be no progress! and no I'm not someone who expresses my views with hostility. I'm really good at staying level headed, but of course someone has to start yelling at me.
I'm tired of a thin skinned society that cant work out differences. probably why I spend more time here than on facebook. that's a place you can lose more friends than you make If you share any of your opinions. I'm glad you made this place a sanctuary for all walks of life here Debi.

I tried but it took 30 minutes of proofreading
but it took 30 minutes of proofreading 
I will tell you what annoys me, in the form of a story.......
There was a man who worked at the same job for many years. Everyday the man and his fellow employees would have lunch in the staff break room. Every day the man would open his lunch bag and sigh......"ham and cheese again?!"
After years of complaining finally one of the guys said "Hey man, if you don't want ham and cheese just tell your wife to make you something different". The man's forehead wrinkled with confusion and he cocked his head to the side and said "I'm not married, I make my own lunches"

people flipping over spilled milk. I'm glad you didn't get sued!

Where do I begin...
1. Sheeple - people whose opinions are based purely on media other sheeples' opinions and who don't investigate the true story behind things before making their mind up. They will support the underdog no matter what.
2. The refugee issue in Europe. So many people are like, "shame they lost everything, let's let them through the borders without papers, blah blah blah". Those parasites have sent crime and rape rates sky high in some European countries and they are getting better benefits (without citizenship) than the actual citizens themselves. In Italy some of these guys were getting put up in 4 star hotels, they're getting allowances from the government and they still complain it's not good enough, yet there are some Italian citizens with no homes or jobs and living in their cars who are getting nothing from the government. Australia had the right idea, send them to some dead isolated island and let them sort themselves out. Just because you have problems in your country doesn't mean it has to become another country's problem. FYI I can be a bit of a xenophobe at times.
3. People who hashtag everything
4. The ANC government
5. "Affirmative" action. It's discrimination regardless of the reasons for its enforcement
6. People who tailgate/flash their lights at me when I'm already going over the speed limit. Those people must get ready to test their brakes if they do that to me. The other day I was in the fast lane on a road where the cops often trap. So I was just about to move to the slow lane, just put my indicator on and this lady behind me (not even tailgating but accelerating) flashes me to move over. So I just swung back into that lane, cutting her off and just leered at her in my rear view mirror. She kept her distance after that. FYI I do tend to have some road rage moments.
7. People from North Johannesburg. A lot of them are so fake and think they're superior to everyone.
8. People that try taking me for an idiot or try to swindle me
9. Jehovah's Witness
10. People who think they're some authority on Christianity and try preach to me what I should do or how I should live my life spiritually.
11. People who believe fake news.
12. Fake news.
13. Fake articles claiming something causes cancer. For example many people believe that artificial sweeteners cause cancer. That is 100% false. The main component in them is an amino acid that one's body naturally produces. And one person I know is a big believer in these stupid articles and avoids all these things yet cancer is hereditary in her family and she smokes like a chimney. Yeah, good luck avoiding cancer
14. People who turn everything into a racial issue when it's clearly not. One example when a spectator at a soccer match threw a banana at a Hispanic player on the sideline. But the sheeple are like, "AAAH RACISM!!!". By that logic a food fight in a canteen can count as a race war. Has it ever occurred to them the spectator was just someone from the opposing team and that player was the closest in range?
15. Aggressive ad techniques on mobile games. Like the ones that pop up every 10 seconds or each time you interact or complete a level. Btw if this bugs anyone else, a good trick is turn your mobile data/wifi off on your phone before entering the game. If the game can't communicate with the server it gets its ads from, it will run into errors in the background and can't display them, thereby providing you with a seamless and pleasant game experience.
16. Steam gaming platform
17. MTN
18. The ridiculously high internet and data bundle rates in South Africa.
19. Over 400 channels on TV and it's either repeats or something really stupid, and all the good stuff is aired at the worst times.
20. The stupid shows that are on TV these days and how many "reality" shows are staged, like Extreme Makeover, Storage Wars, Bear Grills, etc.
21. The Kardashians. Proving to the world being a tramp can get you places. FYI "Tramp" is just the forum-friendly version of the word I really wanted to use.
22. People who make a big fuss or obsess over celebrities
23. The royal family.
24. Hipsters
25. People who get offended by everything. I have a very twisted sense of humor and it takes a lot for a joke to make me cringe or say, "That went too far", and if people can't accept it well then the internet is not a place for you. Unless the site has rules specifying online behavior on said site, I'll respect the rules, like I do here, but on sites like Reddit and 4chan, it's a free for all and then I unleash
26. People who get depressed or upset over the stupidest things.
27. South African taxi drivers
28. Electronics that don't work like they're suppose to. If you want to see me lose my temper, give me an electronic device/appliance that's badly made. I just see red.
29. 99% of my high school grade
30. Games that screw the player over because the developers couldn't make it more challenging. And a lot of these games like Candy Crush and stuff where you have lives and can buy boosters are notorious. They deliberately make sure you lose rounds to get those addicted to buy boosters and lives. But another trick, when you run out of lives, you have to wait 30 minutes or so. Some of these games rely on the time on your device and not on the time on their server. So if you just turn your device's clock a few hours ahead, voila, full lives instantly. But some games now keep a saved cache on the last state of your game when you exited to fight this cheat, so it will revert to it's last corresponding/plausible state.
Geez there's actually a lot of things that tick me off. I got lots more but I have to stop here because I legit need to start work now lol.
