Not sure your sister is a pet peeve. More like 'what pissed you off' I would have thought.

I've never had a bagel.

No? Are you in Aus & do they not have them there?


I sometimes suspect the lovely authentic bagels one could get in the old days form a (subconscious) part of the reason I was happy to move to the USA. Unfortunately, modern bagels are not often as tasty, but occasionally I find decent ones....

When you're standing in line at the airport and the person behind you bumps into your bag every time the line moves forward and stops.

Not at the moment. Bit afraid that if I come back, I won't want to leave. It's all too much.

FB app and it's inability to remember to not automatically play videos. It defaults to playing videos even when on data, so even more annoying than when it used to default to play on wifi only.

Doesn't matter how often you change it, within a couple of days, it's switched itself back.

Soap, shampoo, and lotion "pump" bottles where the pump tube doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle; not even close!

Also applies to other things like all purpose cleaners or window cleaner. Irritation to the max.

A very UNcunning marketing ploy, but then if the tube touches the bottom of the container it doesn't pump so well. Add water. Also the food containers (especially plastic) where you'll never get all the product you've paid for. I read recently about a coating they'd developed that allows all the contents to be poured out.
