People who drive less than the speed limit, and drivers in the left lane that are going slower than the people behind them.

When you order a gift for someone online and even after putting their name and address in the "Ship To" fields, the website arbitrarily changes the "ship to" name to yours.

Oh and then they can't change or cancel the order "because it's already been processed" even though I contacted them by phone immediately after.

Can't seem to easily find rolls of Lifesavers anymore. Sometimes I crave those butter rum ones.

In a related note, found a bag of the Wint-O-Green mints, and they don't spark when you bite them. When did this change??? Was excited to show my kids the phenomena of triboluminescence, but couldn't.

Can't sort by subject or sender anymore in Yahoo. When I want to check my spam box, I used to sort by "sender" and it was super easy to skim through the huge lists and pick out potentially valid emails. Now they took that option away. #######s.

It grinds my gears when the spout on the milk carton gets stuck when I'm trying to open it and then it starts ripping and fraying. Then when you pour the milk, it sprays and makes a big mess.

It also grinds my gears when people tweet out locations of Checkstops. Don't be an idiot.

It also grinds my gears when I need to restart my computer and have 1000000 updates and it takes forever...it always seems to happen when I am in the biggest rush.

When people on a residential street impatiently honk their horn to get their riders to hurry up. Get out of you vehicle and go up to the door or sit there patiently. It is before 8 am, some people are still trying to sleep.

I very distinctly asking this question way back when I was in grade 4. I believe the response I got was that is had to be the sugar-free version that let you do that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that is the reason why it didn't work. As a kid I wasted dozens of dollars on those damn Wint-O-Greens and never got it to work. That RGMG.

Thank you, Revenue Canada, for sending me a reassessment 2 days before Christmas. Awesome.

It shouldn't have to be, it's just the mint flavouring (methyl salicylate) reacting with UV light emitted by nitrogen which re-emits the UV light as blue light. Make sure you're doing it in the dark.
