It really creeps me out when people put their stuff on the floor in public toilets. Call me crazy, but I'm super careful about what I touch in public toilets. I'll sometimes even use a tissue to avoid touching door handles. So when I see people putting their clothes on the floor, trust me, I am screaming in horror inside my head. Especially things like scarves that later touch their necks and faces... how can they put them on the floor in a public toilet, where there's probably piss and the likes?

Have trained our toddler so well in using tissue to lift the seat in a public toilet, that he does it at home and at his nans house! 🤣

Hot + cold combos.
Like ice cream on anything that's supposed to be hot. Or, the worst of them all, whipped cream on hot chocolate. I'm not too crazy about whipped cream in general, but I'm okay with it for cold desserts. Not on hot chocolate! It totally ruins it! I still remember the first time I ever ordered a hot chocolate somewhere and it came back with this white tower on top... I was shocked! What kind of person does that? The kind that have chopped up people in their fridges probably!
I hate biting into something that's supposed to be hot only to discover it has a cold part. Or the other way around. Discover something that should have been cold has a warm part or, even worse, has melted into something yucky.

When websites sniff location to adapt their content. I'm currently traveling and almost had a heart attack seeing a long list of "unavailable"s Then saw "For: Germany" in the top left corner. Argh!

When people take their shoes off on the plane and then walk around without shoes. For fuck's sake, you're touching the same floor the soles of so many shoes have touched, soles that maybe stepped in piss and poop on the way there.
Also, if you're going to take your shoes off, please wear socks. Especially if you know your toes are not a pretty sight.

When you go to a concert and the person next to you sings worse than a groggy camel, but insists on turning their volume up to eleven.
Alice sounded great. When I could hear him over the dude next to me. Why would you do this if you can't sing for shit?

^^^ You should have tapped him on the shoulder and asked "Do you know why Alice sings this song?" Followed by .... because you CAN"T.

When conferences give the contact details (email, phone) of their speakers (or of the people representing their speakers) to booking services without even asking asking for consent.
When, in addition to doing that, they book stuff using the name they see online without bothering to ask whether that's the full name. Because, you know, some people don't put their full name online to make life easier for scammers.
This results in shifting the trouble of changing the name onto the speaker's side, who also has to provide more details than would have had if there hadn't been any mistake in the first place.
Don't give away people's contact details without asking for consent, you fucking morons!

When someone doesn't know the difference between the "I regret to hear that" version of "I'm sorry" and the "I apologize" version.
Joe: What's wrong Sam? Sam: My aunt passed away last night. Joe: Oh! I'm sorry! Sam: Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault.
derp.

Featured yet again...
Ticketbastard, who won't allow me to buy tickets for two separate events at the same time. And have the utterly shitty practice of not shipping tickets as soon as I pay for them, even though they take my money right away.

And yet again, Ticketbastard. They won't let me buy tickets if I block third party scripts, even though... uh, oh, they've previously sent me an email to tell me to monitor my bank account because payment information may have been accessed by such a script.

Women's clothing. I rarely buy anything anymore, but really, this shit doesn't seem made by anyone who has ever seen an actual human woman. Take a look at this gem of a sizing table, which assumes women are... pretty much cylindrical. For every damn size, the difference between chest/ hips and waist is tiny. You'd have to be moderately pregnant for those ratios. 64-67cm is the smallest waist size. And if you don't see the other measurements, you think okay, whatever, they only cater for bigger people, I'm not in the target, move on. But... in this table, it's paired with a chest/ hip size of 78-81cm - whaaat? No wonder most of my stuff is super loose around the waist and super tight elsewhere.

Context: Riley Gale was the vocalist for Power Trip. Was because he died earlier this week. He was 34.
Now some scumbag is selling an autographed item on ebay and lists his passing as a reason why this is rare and worth $700.
