Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

Not pressing the cancel button on the microwave when you’ve stopped it before it pings.

Stuff may be wrapped up - but once you get it home you put it in the fridge/cupboard along with other things - some of which are open

so any bugs (etc) is not in your fridge or cupboard

Are you having a laugh? If you're that bothered give things a wipe down before you put them away.
What do you think happens before these items get to the supermarket exactly?

When a computer (or a phone) receives a message and you get a ping/pang/pong. 3 or 4 are just about ok but when they keep coming their droves, man, switch the volume to mute already!

What about those people who when you ask how they are proceed to tell you.

If you don't expect a response do ask the question.
Alot of pain could be avoided if we were more honest with each other particularly friends and not put a gloss on everything??

Sorry, it was tongue in cheek. I have heard older* more stoic types express such a view, but don't endorse it.

*They must be really old

Proceeding along the road and being held up by a cyclist at a pelican crossing who has been cycling along the footpath, uses the crossing to get to the other side of said road and carries on along the other footpath.

It's, dogs on tables in cafes/pubs, similar to letting young kids climb onto tables, it shouldn't be allowed.

And there's the 'dog welcome' notices in an increasing number of food / eating establishments which is beyond me.
At the premises that began this, one of the wee dogs was yapping every so often which was irritating me as I have tinnitus.
As any 'observation' to the dog's owner would have probably ended badly and they were already there when we arrived, I didn't say anything to them. A yapping dog usually means the dog wants attention which these two weren't getting.

Everything more or less is wrapped up these days.
Worse is people who talk for more than a couple of minutes about their kids or grandkids. Beyond the basics, they are fine etc, doing well its incredibly draining to listen to. No friend or work colleague is interested.

Fair enough.

Except my kids; they're awesome.

Black Friday. Is it today? Last Friday? Next Friday? Whenever it is or was or will be it seems to have been going on forever, promoting offers that are no better, often worse, than the usual discounting. It's a con. (Soon to be followed by Christmas Sales, New year Sales ...)

letting young kids climb onto tables

On a similar note, it's common to see youngsters sitting or clambering about on the packing benches by the checkouts at Aldi & Lidl.
Obviously, 'common sense' implies that they shouldn't, but you can be pretty sure that if one of said youngsters fell off the bench and injured themselves, the parents would be all over a lawsuit against the shop.

Bike tech.

Seriously, what bike tech? Another cog in the cassette, a chain that has wide/narrow teeth, hydraulic brakes?

Let's face it: there are.more bike brands than there are drivetrain brands. Reason: because making bike frames and assembling bits to it is quite straightforward. The difficult thing is making the drivetrain, and even that's not really hard compared to some of the engineering available in, ahem, motorbikes for example.
