Chuck E Cheese birthday parties...c'mon parents, have a little imagination.5

Littering and people leaving the cart in the middle of the parking lot because they don't want to walk 20 steps to put it away.
Our grocery store has two different sized carts and put up signs so larger and smaller carts get separated. People don't bother. It is the difference of a foot to the right or left, is it really that hard?4 -

Agreed. To go further, I hate when people don't read signs and follow the rules.0 -

When my son asked to go to Chuck E Cheese, I totally told him the ONLY time a person could go was if they were invited to a birthday party.
No party he's ever gone to was at Chuck E Cheese.6 -

Also when someone smokes on their patio below my apartment and well, I might as well never sit on my balcony or have my windows open because it's like they're there with me, just smoking away! I hate it.
Especially in the summer in a state like California, where there's a significant chance that kind of thing will start a wildfire.1 -

Ha! I did the same thing! I told my daughter that Chuck E. Cheese wasn't even open except for parties. Shoot, she probably still believes that.1 -
I hate it when you can hear someone breathing, especially on conference calls. Put yourself on mute if you're not speaking...maybe I just overall hate having to be on conference calls. Sigh.2

Haha. Totally get this. Like hearing someone chew!

Yeah those are absolutely awful. Glad my kids are getting over the 'big parties' stage and been only invited to a couple of them this year.0 -

How about all those recipes based on Pillsbury dough?

Hahahaha. Yeah. Ugh. I get peeved every time I see those recipes too. Their stuff isn't even great.0 -
When you literally have back to back mettings all day except for one 30 min block...then someone tries to schedule a meeting at that time. I mean COME ON PEOPLE!!! I won't do that to someone simply on principle.1

Recipes that don't give specific measurements!! No offence to the Americans on here, but what the **** is a cup?? How big of a cup? And a "dash" of soy sauce could be anything from a teaspoon full to a full on tidal wave. And there are times that google won't help at all, it gives you different weights for a cup measurement.
Did I read this correctly? You're asking "what is a cup?????" One cup is 8 fluid ounces, or 250 milliliters. Cups measure FLUIDS. A cup measurement is not to be confused with WEIGHT. One "cup" of marshmallows will weigh less than one "cup" of marbles. Yet they will both fill the same "cup." The thing I hate is when people get these mixed up.
And Google is very helpful. I'd like to know where Google gives you different "weights" for a "cup" measurement. They're completely different! It's basic stuff you learn in grade school.
As for a "dash" of something. That's just hard to explain because common sense would say that a dash could be compared to a "sprinkle" or a "squirt." Or maybe just "to taste." Common sense.0 -

That's exactly the problem. US recipes give you cup measurements for SOLIDS.0 -
I hate it when my brain stops working and I end up doing something stupid, like major cleaning the windows from the outside without checking the weather forecast.. GRRRRR1

It's still technically a fluid cup; a measure of volume. It works well enough in most cases since American recipes are designed around the inherent inaccuracy of measuring granular or powdered solids in this way.Recipes that don't give specific measurements!!

On the other hand, anyone who specifies an amount of something like spinach in cups should be drowned in vinaigrette.5 -

My organization started scheduling meetings at 7:00 a.m. (work day runs 8-5) AND during the lunch hour AND at 4:30. Literally the entire day without ANY breaks. I started blocking out my electronic calendar as "unavailable" a couple days a week so I could get something done. It worked for awhile until people started showing up at my desk to see if I was really there. I no longer work there, thank goodness!1 -

Someone should start a worst recipe ever thread! My sister-in-law makes something she calls "fruit salad" that has nothing but cool whip, 1 small can of mandarin oranges and a package of crushed cookies. My kids always called it Aunt Jennie's Cookie Glop. It's her signature dish and she makes it for every occasion. Strangely, the rest of the family thinks it's divine (but then they are the McD's and Domino's crowd).1 -
I have a FB friend that is constantly advertising those wraps. I want to start an argument over how unscientific they are!1
