What irritates me to no end?

Name your top three pet peeves.

1. Bad or faulty products.

I will absolutely return any merchandise I purchase that doesn’t deliver on its promises.

Whether is distasteful yogurt or a  deceptively labeled floor mat. Back it goes. I’ll not spend a dime on dysfunctional product.

2. Not signaling lane changes.

It’s not difficult to flip a lever or hit a switch. A flick of the fingers signals to the world and me in particular that your planning on cutting me off.

That’s fine. I’ll yield, as I am legally bound to do so. But, if you don’t signal, I promise I’ll glower at your car for miles.

3.

Advertising on a paid service.

There shouldn’t be any ads on a subscription or paid service. That’s the whole reason we cut the cord in the first place. Now they’re bringing back advertising for paid services. It’s entirely infuriating.

When I realized I wouldn’t have to see anymore ads if I downloaded programs, I canceled my TV service.

Before streaming services came to be, we were downloading all our media, happily ad-free. Sure it was limited to certain types of content, but I was predominantly watching Japanese and Korean programs, and back then there were no streaming services for that content.

To be clear, I’m okay with watching an ad to access a free service. But not if I paid money upfront.
