Things that annoy you

Intolerance, especially from those that preach tolerance of their viewpoints.
Those hypocritical individuals that proclaim they are for or against a certain belief/viewpoint yet refuse to accept the possibility that others may disagree with them. Then they proceed to belittle and demean anybody who doesn't agree with them, and demand they be silenced. After all, free speech only applies to them.
Whether it's politics, sports, religion, fashion, lifestyle, or even vegetarianism, etc, etc...intolerance sucks.

Complainers really get my goat. Why do people have to complain? All the time complaining. Gosh, I hate complainers.

In the pocket n' thumpy. So woody, so greasy...
Yeah, but I heard those can magnetize your balls, and then you can never do anything normal again like lean on someone else's car when their not looking or sit down in the bathtub.......One word.....Induction....
So you're saying that you have steel balls?....
Ok.....stranger things are out there...I guess.....

People who can't answer two short and simple questions sent by text or e-mail.
For instance - Question: "What time does the event start, and what time should I be there?"
Answer: "7:00pm."
Okay...is that when the event starts, or when I should be there?! It was a simple two-part question; why couldn't you give a simple two-part answer?! (For clarity, it's an event where I would need to be there early because I've been asked to help set up.)

Drives me bat $**t crazy.
Windows updates and other updates that decide to update when I'm right in the middle of something.
Windows 10 has been trying to foist this "upgrade" down my throat for some time now. It will just start running and then take hours to install. At the end of the install...it doesn't.
So I get a screen note saying "Restoring your previous version of Windows". (I already have Windows 10)
This has happened three or four times now and it never has actually worked once.
Sometimes it freezes up my computer so the only way I can turn it off is to unplug it.

A thing that annoys me is another wonderful Microsoft product: the Xbox One. We bought that thing for the kids, paid something like 400$ for the damn thing, and most games will work only once in a while, and some we could never get to work. There's no physical keyboard to enter e-mail addresses or passwords. Setting the thing up was a nightmare. Whenever you try to put a new game in it takes ages. And of course, I can't find a goddamn phone number for customer support. In fact, I can't find any form of support for that damn product.Windows updates and other updates that decide to update when I'm right in the middle of something.

How come in 2017 we have a product that is so user-unfriendly, when in nineteen-eighty-something plugging and starting my Atari console was a five-minute affair?
Pedestrians who hit the 'cross' button but bolt across the street before it changes as soon as they see a gap in traffic, and then drivers just have to stop for nothing... wasting fuel, brake pads, & time 
If you're gonna play Frogger like that, don't hit the button

Every now and then me and three of my co-workers go out for drinks after work. They don't drive. I do, so every time we've done this, I'll drive. That means I'm not drinking and after a still relatively fun night out which follows a long day of work, I have to drive three people home. I don't have to, but I do. So tomorrow night I decided I wanna get drunk so I'm taking an Uber to and from work. Figure it'll cost me about 40 bucks for transportation. Whatever. It's 40 bucks and I can do what I want. No big deal.
Aaand now something suddenly came up for everyone. Odd coincidence.

There is precious little that doesn’t annoy me of late.
