You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

I hate driving to work every morning. I either get stuck behind some slow faggot, or I get stuck at 5 different red lights. Going to work is a bitch.
 
When it takes me a week to see a doctor, and they just kind of shrug at me and tell me to come back in a week if I don't get any better. But because of their goofy scheduling, that means I'll probably not see them for two to three weeks.

I don't know how it is elsewhere, but ever since Urgent Care has become such a big thing around here all the primary care doctors have become lazy and fucking useless. They just expect you to go to Urgent Care for anything that isn't an emergency now.

I guess reasearch in the science of BS continues.

also reminds me of this:

First you have to deal with the stupid perky-sounding robot. Once upon a time you could just press buttons, but now they want you to speak with the stupid thing. If you dial 0 to skip the BS and talk to a real person, it's all "sorry, I didn't get that." Next comes the being on hold, and being reminded repeatedly that "your call is very important to us." Finally, when you manage to get a hold of someone, you keep reaching "the wrong department," so you're passed around like a hot potato between agents. And of course, that means a lot more hold time, with the same lame elevator music, and reminders of the call's supposed value.

What's even worse is being on hold for over half an hour and then the call is just dropped.

(and of course leaving a callback number does not work)

Calling an American company to fix an issue.

At the end of the ordeal, the issue is likely still unresolved.

And of course, despite it being Current Year, there's no way to reach them more conveniently, like email or direct numbers.

It's like they just want money without having to deal with you.

Calling companies usually never works. They are also usually rude, or speak in some had to understand accent. Most of the time I just use live chat on their website and it works.

My personal pet peeve. I hate all these fucking articles on the internet telling people they can get another large stimulus, then when I read the article they have strict requirements like needing to live in a certain area and be part of a certain program.

Government workers at all levels who never answer the phone, never return calls from voicemail, and hide behind security guards.

Court systems which force you to get excused or come to a courthouse for jury duty. Force you to take a day off work, drive to a place and waste everybody's time and money. Fucking judges who think they're gods. Idiots who are proud and happy to be chosen for jury duty when they know f-all about law or legal matters.

Fire alarms. Don't get me wrong, they are incredibly useful safety devices but they are also incredibly annoying.

So the alarm goes off to alert me to a fire or smoke right? Fantastic, maybe I fell asleep and some wood fell out the fire or whatever so I deal with the problem and open some windows but what's the point in having the alarm be so fucking hard to turn off?

What are the designers thinking? That I'm going to press the button while ignoring the fucking fire? This is why people taking the batteries out and then end up dying in a fire or of CO poisoning.

I once stayed at a place with a loud fire alarm right over the bed. The kind one sees in a school.

The fire alarms in the concrete building were linked together and they were way too oversensitive.

Imagine "[click] AAA AAA AAA" at 3AM because steam from a shower set off all alarms in that place?
