Can the wind be a pet peeve? Sometimes the wind makes me really angry when it blows stuff around or I find myself getting angry and people who scheduled something outside on a windy day and I'm thinking  "this could have been an inside thing but we are outside getting buffeted by the wind and I feel peeved." (this might be a cross post to the shame yourself thread for me)

at least with that one, you have some control over the situation. When someone tells me "have a safe flight" i'm like brother this one is out of my hands

I usually hit 'em with a "I'll try my hardest!"

Restaurants with exposed HVAC ducts need to stop referring to their meats as “protein options”.  Protein is great. Protein is essential for life. Some of us need to eat more than we currently eat. Can we stop fetishizing protein already?

What if tofu or beans is also an option?

People that conflate walking tacos & frito chili pie.

Also, if you’re browning hamburger in a skillet and adding some packet chili seasoning, that’s not chili.

People saying there can only be one Highlander. The Highlander is the main character from the Highlands of Scotland. They all aren’t Highlanders.

I’ve heard a variants of “he’s a Highlander” 3 times in the last week.  :curse:

First time I heard an Aussie used “flick” instead of “shoot” off an email, I suddenly realized how gun-centric we are.

Littering and letting dogs poop in other people’s yards. Just totally selfish antisocial behavior.
