    1) Toilet tissue that is too thin.
    2) Getting billed sewer charges for water I use to water plants with.
    3) Having to smog my personal car that is a diesel and they don’t measure anything.
    4) Having excellent credit and no 0% balance transfer offers to avoid the looming interest increase. Damn, have to pay that thing off I guess.
    5) Sales people that lie to customers.
    6) Marketing gimmicks i.e. making something smaller instead of raising the price.
    7) Being required to wear a helmet when I have perfectly good health insurance.
    8) Insanely high emergency room bills i.e. employer being gouged on health care costs.
    9) Government spying on ordinary people.
    10) Long waits in line anywhere i.e. Mexican border…

    When I finish my workout I’ll post things I’m grateful for.

    1. Traffic (especially in Mira Mesa and 805 south in the evenings.) This was a contributing factor in my retirement.

    2. Shoes (have to agree with Scaredy on this.)

    3. Kids that have selective listening.

    4. Ants. (We’ve been invaded… time to get Borax soaked cotton balls out.)

    I get peeved when our littlest dog pees on the bed, that has happened twice today. One set of sheets is in the dryer while the other set is in the washer.

    1) Unkind and/or inconsiderate people.
    2) Things that don’t work properly at the very
    moment when you need them to do so.
    3) Clutter and disorganization. And dirt…I really, really hate dirt.

    Crony capitialism and the hegemony created through campaign contribution from special interests. Leon Musk springs to mind with the recent massive deal to exploit Nevada and the politicians willingness to sell everything out to garner votes

    Isn’t building a battery factory in the US (vs China) a good thing?

    real estate related.

    Having only 1 dishwasher. What a waste of time it is to empty the dishwasher!? All houses should be equipped with 2 dishwashers so you can move the daily dishes from 1 machine to the next.

    My next apartment will have 2 dishwashers.

    Maybe 2 sets of stackable washers/dryers also. A family with kids should definitely have that.

    All of the earth’s dirt is just a tiny floating flake on the planet

    Buy your next house from an Orthodox Jewish family, and it may come so equipped. Probably with two drawer type dishwashers to separate meat and dairy dishes.

    I’m not crazy about those drawer dishwashers.

    I recently remodeled my kitchen but didn’t think about 2 dishwashers. It would not have been much more. You have to add the cost of the extra dishwasher, but you save on the cabinetry.

    I also think that at least 2 dryers in the laundry room should be the new standard.

    Yes, we are improving our standard of living with more material. Think of those housewives of the past slaving away to do their 5 kids’ laundry!

    Being on the receiving end of everyone else’s pet peeves.

    Seriously there seems to be a lot more people these days who seem to always want to make a really big deal out of very small things.
