Bad subtitles.
When subtitles are mistimed and appear on screen slightly too soon or slightly too late, or when I'm watching sth in English with English subtitles and the wording of the subs is different than the spoken lines, that gets really irritating really quickly.
Subtitles are one of those things that you don't notice when done well.
HBO Max subtitles on anything that wasn’t produced by HBO are legitimately horrendous to the point that I would just pirate the media because the opensubs were better
It's just ai generated because some of the transliterations are just deranged
I really wish subtitlers would go the extra mile and try and avoid putting a punchline out too quickly.
Or revealing the name of the killer in a whodunit. I can't even remember the name of the movie anymore but I will always remember how they put the masked killer's name in the closed captioning from the very first scene.
Sometimes I put something down on the counter and then get mad that the counter is so crowded and the thing that I put down is right where I want to put something else
When it comes to my environment, I'm like that meme of the guy biking who puts a stick in his own spokes and gets mad at the stick
In music apps when they arrange it so that the music title is too long for the screen. Use proper metadata assholes it's not fun to try and pick a specific track from thirty identical lists of "Gluck: Orphee et Eurydice, Act 1, Simoneu, Gardin...."
a music app i used to use sorted all the albums that started with the in the t section

Doesn't bother me besides "could of" which causes me to seethe for 500ms every time.
Similarly while I’m mostly like “language is made up it’s fine for different accents and dialects to say words differently” if you pronounce nuclear as nucular I want to strangle you

I'm trying to get better at social skills, it can be difficult! But not looking at the phone is easy, that one I agree is pretty unforgivable.
When cars at red lights stop partway into the crosswalk.
I have fantasized about spray-painting the portion of crosswalk they're sitting on onto the car.
(Stopping at the crosswalk then pulling ahead so you can see enough to do a right turn does not count as this.)
When people leave cars in the middle of the shopping aisle, or display similar lacking of spatial awareness.
Sure, some maybe, I would just chalk it up to not being very observant.
I can let most things go, but that is my go-to pet peeve.
Ah, see, it sounds like you were working at the store - I've had my own bad jobs, but never worked at a grocery store, so I haven't been to subjected to interactions like you have.
people who talk with confidence about genres without knowing what they're talking about. i'm guilty of this from time to time, but people making spotify playlists where they label taylor swift as punk rock or whatever bug me way more than it had any right to
Bad continuity editing in TV shows. You can't have a character turn their head left and then cut to them looking straight ahead. It's very petty, but I can't stand it.
there's always a guy out there smugly trying to convince you that peeling bananas from 'the other end' is actually better because "that's how apes do it". Also, you supposedly get less of the stringy stuff than peeling the banana from the tab. these people are completely wrong. if you can't open a banana from the tab, that means the banana is not yet ripe enough to eat. the only reason you're getting those weird stringy things is because you're trying to eat unripe bananas. The most annoying part about this one is how smug people are about it. They're always 'explaining' how to open the banana the wrong way as if it's some big discovery and there are no downsides to opening it that way.
When people don't hold their knives correctly when prepping food.
