There was an old guy in my office who must have suffered a microwave issue at some point because he would only nuke things in 5 second increments. It would take him 10 minutes to warm up a cup off coffee.
I revel in this. In situations where I know people aren't really listening I say the most obtuse things, just to see if I get a reaction. It's great fun!
But, in seriousness, I feel for you. It's socially isolating and a bit of a bummer to feel you're not being understood, that you cannot affect the world around you.
Overcooking popcorn in the nuker is a close second. It smells like a Dow Chemicals plant.
The pistachio muffins at the local store are now only available seasonally.
Sometimes my Sonos speakers disappear in my Spotify device list on one of my laptops or desktops, and I have to use Spotify on my phone to get them to appear again.
Sometimes my Samsung SmartThings hub loses contact with various lights and sensors, and telling Alexa to turn on the kitchen light does nothing at all.
SmartThings claims that two door sensors are 'low battery' every day but it's been doing that for a year...and they still work. I bought new batteries that will probably expire before I need them.
Singer/guitarist recorded himself on his iPhone and texted the recording to me. I can't find a way to save it as an MP3 and I can only listen to this 5 minute track with no REW/FF controls whatsoever.
If this is the worst part of my day, man I'm doing alright.

Try Asian style sesame Feast of the East dressing. Mmmmm...good.
People complain about my tuxedo tee-shirt. Wife thinks it silly, boss sez it don't meet the office dress code and friends think it is stupid. I should not be subjected to this.
Somebody left it with 25 seconds on it today!
JERRY, I KNOW IT WAS YOU!
Does Jerry also leave the last 4oz of coffee in the office coffee pot to boil away and then finally burn?
Our guy’s name is Jim.
Not sure which FWP to choose. Great, now that has to get on the list. Here are the others:
I recently found out I tie my shoelaces like a 9 year old.
All my colleagues keep apologizing to me for saying something they think was offensive. But it never offends me so it makes me wonder if I come across as a drama queen. Why else would they apologize all the time?
I got a gift certificate for my birthday, and not sure if I'll use it to buy Billie Eilish' album. If I do, it means I have to wait another week or two and I've been meaning to buy that album for ages.
Oh, and at 38 years of age, my friends and my girlfriend all wonder why I listen to Billie Eilish.

Taco Bell discontinued the Mexi Melt, and Checkers discontinued their strawberry smoothie!
And my phone is slow.
And my phone is slow.
Oh, I have a 3-week holiday coming up. Since I go to the gym @ work during work hours, I am undecided about how to work out during this holiday period. It's a toss up between paying per session at a local gym or hitting the pavement and taking up running again for those 3 weeks. But then I may lose some strength, which has been my main focus in the gym for the past year.
I love my expensive phone...
... what I'd really love is for my inexpensive charger to do it's job, and charge my phone...
... the expensive one.
