I came across a meme and it really hit it on the spot.

It stated the below.

"No zipper on cereal bags, Useless zipper on bags of socks"..

Seriously?

Why is this the way it is.. Should be other way around. lol.

Any other pet peeves you guys have??

Yes. Goodie Bags at kids birthday parties.

Usually filled with cheap toys picked up from the Party Store, Five Below, or some similar store. They never are worth the space they take up and ultimately end up in the trash. Waste of time, money, resources...and terrible for the environment!

Another pet peeve is: Participation Trophies. Perhaps they have a place in sports for the very youngest of athletes...but after age 8 they should be removed from the equation! :devil:

lol. The goodie bags.. Yeah, that is a good one.

Another pet peeve but not as much nowadays, back in the days, the flashing 12:00 time on the VCR. I hated seeing that and believe it or not, even if I was at a friend's house and I saw this blinking nonsense, I would go and fix the time on their VCR. lol.

People looking at their phones everywhere you turn nowadays.

People looking at their phone when driving... topping the hill and they are on my side of the line... why? Because they are texting. Senseless idiocy.

People talking loud on their phones.

Texting .... I hate it!

Cell phones... not used as a phone today... I despise the "Smart" phone... it ain't that smart.

Texting and Driving is just as bad as drinking and driving.

Here is another pet peeve.

When I go to a theater I purposely get a small drink and popcorn since I don't want to leave in the middle of the movie to go to the bathroom.
Why do folks get the extra large drink and while watching the movie, they have to go which means they have to step over everybody and interrupt their movie going experience?

Just get the small drink..
