Dumb things that annoy you

Steam Summer Sale is here and I'm broke.

Guild Wars 2 new map. Or better, how you have to wander there.
I loved the place, like everything else in that game. It's wonderfully done, incredibly beautiful. But to reach certain places, you need to use some sort of elemental movement skills, skills based on precision and timing. But try being precise and having a good time with 200+ ms ping plus additional lag that makes your character go crazy. I am the one who ends up going crazy with this...

People who overuse the smilies.
Seriously, ya' don't need them all the time. You're just making yourself look like a flibbin' idiot when you use them inappropriately.

SMALL TALK

I really have an unreasonable amount hate towards small talk.  Like a good number of careers, I'm around a lot of strangers in my job.  Even as a paramedic, I suppose people think I'm approachable and they have to talk to me about the most inane topics of conversation.  I'm mainly speaking of the "how are yous" and the "How's the weather" type conversations.

I understand it's a polite gesture to ask "how are you?" in almost every society, but it's to the point where it's a script with everyone I meet.  Honestly, most people don't care about your life.  So, I'm stuck in this constant spiral.

: Hi!  How are you?!
: Hey there, I'm alright. yourself?
: I'm good, thank you!

And if you're break that script with strangers usually it makes the situation awkward.  A complete stranger never wants to deal with:

: Hi!  How are you?!
: Well buddy, let me tell you... *long list of problems OR honest opinions about your mood/well being*
: Uh...

Also, I hate talk about the weather.  Living in the age of smartphones where we have access to the local forecast and the Weather Channel with a few taps of a fingerhoof, and you can get all the information you need.  And heaven forbid, you find out the weather by existing outside, let alone being next to a window if you just can't be outdoors.  This is redundant and I'm not gaining anything from this conversation.

In my job, I wish I could...

: Hi!  How are you?!
: I really don't care, ma'am.  This is the second time this week I had to pick up your boyfriend, stabilize him, and take him to the hospital for another narcotic overdose.  Skip the pleasantries, because none of us actually care about each other's well being. 
: You're a(n) #@&*!
: Yeah, probably.

I'm not saying this as intention to turn away friendly ponies here.  I'm here because I want to be here, so thus I'm going to care and genuinely be interested with other ponies here.

I'm in retail....no, i'm a MANAGER in retail, i've been there.  I know how you feel 

I hate having to take meds to help me sleep

If my computer was in the same room I sleep in it would drive me nuts!  Thank goodness I have an office 

I hate being rushed at work because I need help in the afternoon but my budget doesn't allow me the hours to schedule anyone in...

[PrincessButton]

My ears won't stop itching.. 

[Nala Valor]

Finding a venomous spider outside where you need to work. Especially if that spider looks exactly like a black widow 
My parents say its impossible to be one since they don't live in QC but they always say to check my fruits when they come from the states to see if a black widow is there... I'm scared to death right now.

You just reminded me of every time I start thinking about random stuff while I'm trying to fall asleep.

I had insomnia last night. I felt soooo tiiiiired, but I didn't fall asleep. I just laid there for hours.

[Midnight Breeze]

I really don't like the fact that my sister moved in right next door to me. I moved out to get AWAY from my family, not to have them knocking on my door three times a day.

My cat likes beef. She tries to rip holes in any bag of beef jerky she's left alone with, and she just now tried to steal my Slim Jim right in front of me.
I saw her eying it. I knew she might try to make a move. I was quick. I said "No!" and gave her a very light thwack. Just enough to make her go away.

[Zygrograxgra]

Everything.
AM I DOIN' IT RIGHT?

[Rissian]

Ogres.... Just Ogres. This is what is left of our Power Plant for Tekkit.
