You know what really grinds my gears...

My shower curtain blows against me and I have to anchor it down with shampoo bottles and sometimes the inward force knocks them over making a clunk noise. Grrrr.
Finally got around to installing the new bowed shower rod in the new house. More elbow room, and now the overhead light shines into the shower. Very nice.

Angle the shower head to spray the curtain and get it wet, that works for me. Keeps the inner curtain from blowing in.

The sliding glass doors on my shower never blow in. We don't use the shower in the bathroom with the tub.

I have no idea why our nicer bathroom with the good shower and super wide sink counter is upstairs where there are no bedrooms. I've never used the shower in there.

People who take the elevator up one floor. Take the stairs and you'll get there faster than waiting for the **** elevator and won't slow me down in the process.

I have been known to curse out physics when the shower curtain tries to molest me.

I recently bought a very thick shower curtain andi it's not quite as bad now but still annoying. I used to have a big master bath shower with a glass door and place to sit and a separate tub with a jacuzzi. :( As with many other things, #$@&%*!

Company emails that end in "please be guided accordingly" when that as in most cases makes no sense

I'm distressed at home many people on a wide open interstate don't use cruise control. I know most cars have this feature now, but very few people actually use them...and I know it's not a regional thing, as I spend a lot of time on I-95 and most of the cars are from PA, NY, MD, VA, and NC heading to/from Florida.

I probably use cruise too much, but it's very nice for long trips on boring roads.

I'm a big fan of it, I can usually grab some z's while the kids steer too.

when you hover over each bread crumb link "Board Index", "General Discussion", "Off-Topic" a context menu pops up and lets you select a same-level forum. Like if you hover over General Discussion, it lists "Announcements", "Hockey", "General Discussion" and "Suggestions".

it's kind of annoying, especially on mobile.

My son's school guidance counselor uses that in the subject line of most emails we receive.

The last couple times we've bought milk (1%), I've had to throw it out 3-4 days before the expiry. I'll open it up and take a whiff, and the sour smell definitely hits you. What gives?

Are you storing your milk in your fridge at the right temp?

That's very unusual.

I keep mine 7-10 days after.

Are you buying it at the same place each time?

Same brand?

Perhaps it's getting warm during shipping or in-store.

Either that, or your nose is wrong.
