The fact that the thumb is simeoultaneously considered a finger and not a finger.
If you say someone has four fingers, some people will think he’s missing a finger, while others will (correctly) assume that is normal.
Thumbs are not fingers, but enough people have been wrong about this that it’s now considered correct even though it just causes confusion.
I’ve always hated that people consider any system of measurement not used in their country to be “wrong”, despite the fact that many professions didn’t use their system of measurement until very recently in history.
I also hate people making up words that are neither grammatically correct in their usage, nor are they based on their actual meaning; similarly, people expecting everyone to think “words” that are just random two-letter syllables have a legitimate place as descriptors. A word should only exist if has a meaning that can be clearly defined and would see a realistic amount of usage (unless it’s a technical term that while not used often, would have a clearly defined meaning within a specific context). Otherwise, if a word would not fit these criteria, it doesn’t belong in any language because it has no meaning to anyone but the person who first wrote it, and would not ever catch on with the general public.
Just say it Dunetoa, we all hate the Imperial system 
Do I have to /j for this one? 
Roadworks getting done over and over again, especially new stuff getting redone very shortly after.
Ooo I love a good topic resurrection

People who say “forget about it” and they just don’t
Another frustrating thing: people who apparently are incapable of using basic spelling or punctuation (way too many of them in app reviews and similar places; if you can’t coherently complain about a problem, no one will listen to you. There’s a reason customer support is partially automated…)
Also, people who get to decide changes as a group, who then deny having supported the changes when they get precisely what they wanted. (I see this all the time in video games. You buff one thing, everyone demands that it or other things be changed despite initially demanding that one item being changed…)
This post is very xu. 
Meters more like Mehters 
I need to make a bucket list of this entire topic
This is more humorous, but still annoying. Whenever I find something cool on Brickshelf that I’d love to recreate, but the images are so microscopically tiny that you can barely make out anything:
One of the original images directly from the page:
Still gonna try and build this, at least it’s more of a challenge now 
Finding an awesome model like the Axalara FOR FREE, but then realizing it’s pick-up only and on the other side of the country.
I just said something I should never be caugt saying, that is an insane find
I would bend over backwards and snap my spine in half to find an excuse to travel across the country to get that… but yeah that really is frustrating.
Youtube ads.
First time you load the video, nothing happens, just a black screen. So you refresh the page, and it loads the ad and then thinks it’s the video. So you have to refresh again to get the video.
I don’t even mind the ads, i just hate how they break the site.
This is why I watch all videos in search engine results
depending on the engine you can bypass the ads entirely
Hard agree. I don’t think I’d mind as much if the ads weren’t so intrusive and inappropriate, but as-is I gotta watch people screaming about internet providers mid-way through music videos and see obscene depictions in the sidebar.
Erasers that don’t actually erase and pencil sharpeners that don’t actually sharpen. Hate it when the former smear stuff all over the paper and the latter just munch your pencils.
