a thread for ranting about minor annoyances

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

People who sing "five golden rings" instead of "five gold rings" should probably just stop existing. I'd rather be wished a Happy Holidays. That's not how the song goes.

Do you also insist on the original order of the final four gifts?
"The twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me,
 Twelve lords a-leaping
 Eleven ladies dancing
 Ten pipers piping
 Nine drummers drumming
 Eight maids a-milking
 Seven swans a-swimming
 Six geese a-laying
 Five gold rings
 Four colly birds
 Three French hens
 Two turtledoves
 And a partridge in a pear tree."

People who show up to the movies right before or even after it starts.  Then when they ask if you can move so they can fit themselves and their screaming 4 year old into the seats directly next to you at the 10pm showing of a rated R film even though there are plenty of open seats in front...WHICH IS WHERE YOU DESERVE TO SIT FOR SHOWING UP LATE.

That's an oddly specific minor annoyance.

specific, but not oddly so.  Minor annoyances generally are specific.

Empty-quoting.

These may have already been mentioned, but:

1. People who walk on the wrong side of the pathway.

2. People who randomly stop in the middle of pathways.

3. Groups/Families that walk in the middle of pathways and leave no space for others overtaking.
 
Like far out it’s not that hard to show a little spacial awareness!

I'm not sure I've ever encountered anyone with such a pathway-related set of grievances.

Maybe he's a member of the Shining Path?

People who refuse to jaywalk. If I am walking someplace with you, I am not going to stop twenty seconds at every damn intersection just because you won't cross on red.

What overly burdened by traffic lights city do you frequent? In my experience, there's typically a shortage of traffic signals, not an excess that impedes pedestrians.

Los Angeles. Almost every intersection in my neighborhood is signaled.

Downtown Columbia is like that, but you need that there. My suburban neighborhood has not a single signal. If for some strange reason I wanted to walk to the closest shopping center, I'd pass by, but not need to use one traffic signal.
