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 it’s distasteful yogurt or a deceptively labeled floor mat. Back it goes. I’ll not spend a dime on a 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 you’re 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 ads anymore 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 up front.
