When I see clock faces with Roman Numerals using IIII for the number 4!!! Every Walmart sells these abominations. I've even been to Colleges who's clock tower uses IIII in place of IV, higher place of learning my ass.

Worrying that a thread I like will become inactive to the point that it takes a necropost to revive it.

Autocorrect changing `hashtags' to `has tags' and `necropost' to `necropsy'.

Not being able to type for crap without autocorrect, made worse by the fact that I know how to spell everything I want to write...

There is no other way to drive in the snow. You either drift. Or be boring

Television advertisements.

[I don't think anyone will notice or care if this thread is `bumped'; it seems like no one is here much anyways.]

Insurance. It's like federally-regulated protection money.

When you load a webpage, quickly go to click on something because you know where it is, but right before you click some other part of the page loads and pushes the part you wanted to click on down and puts some other clickable thing in place of it. and repeat.

some other clickable thing

Namely, an advertisement, probably for a Monsanto property or some pornographic web site (or both).

FRICKIN' BUBBLES UNDER THE TAPE

Forgetting the other three things that have really ground my gears lately, so now I can't post them

My mom only buys regular milk, not chocolate milk
Code: [Select]
:(
Excessive use of graphical emoticons (exempli gratia, ``emojis'')

Emojis

People not appreciating classical music for its genius and beauty

Deadlines

The lack of a UNIX command line on iOS devices! I will never get over this! I want to test my code without getting caught in the middle of the night! Gaaah!

Jelly. (http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/70916/tips-for-golfing-in-jelly) I'm a little ``jelly'' of the cool kids who can use this.  It takes me forty bytes to do what this language does in about six. ("Golfing in Jelly" does sound funnier than "Golfing in dc", though.)

Stupid, unnecessarydistracting text effects used to excess.

The aspect that my life is falling apart, and the first place I go to tell you Opti-people is in a topic about irate things.

Having so much to say but saying nothing for the sake of hearing the other person's argument
Having a good time before a tragedy
Being frustrated because I didn't get satisfactory grades even though I didn't try

Missing people that I don't even know (you guys)
How summer break is already gone
How high school is already almost gone
How I have no direction in life
How I'm using too many "How"s………………

HowThat I found enjoyment in reading the entire thread, only to remember my recent loss…………

The fact that every time I read the chat logs, stuff I've said sounds even stupider than it did the last time I decided that it was stupid.
Maybe I should just stop talking…
