People who assume they know everything about you, but never give you a chance to prove yourself.

Getting the order wrong on a sub. How many times can you forget to put mayo or honey mustard on a sub when the order is printed in front of you.

People who ask me what kinds of veggies I want on the sub, and immediately starting to reach for the lettuce before checking to see if I want lettuce. Sometimes I only want spinach, dammit!

Anyway, that's not that big of a deal. It only would if they started to put on something that I'm allergic to, like peanut butter or something.

Speaking of which, people passing off my peanut allergy like it's no big deal. "You can have this, don't worry about it." No, I actually have to worry about it because I'd prefer not dying. I always feel bad rejecting food offers from others, but they just have to understand my lack of certainty with things. You baked it yourself? Where did you get the chocolate chips from? Did you read its package?

Those kinds of things. I don't mind if people pick my brain about my allergy at all, by the way. Continue asking; I'd rather you are informed than not.

My students are made well aware of my allergy, but some still try and sneak peanut food. I sense it the moment its pheromones hit the air. When I ask who's eating food, I don't need silence... I'm not even trying to get you into trouble, but I am asking you to put it away so it's a safe zone for me to breathe and instruct.

I hate that my allergy is a burden on other people's daily routine, but it's not exactly a lifestyle choice like veganism either. If I had control over it, I would prefer not to be allergic to it haha.

Muscle memory. Usually the name of the sandwich is the first thing you see then the modifications to the order. **** gets tedious and it's easy to follow through with the sandwich how it is without thinking.

No I know, I don't blame them. It's just funny.

Every time I proctor SAT's (like this past Saturday), I always bring that up. I'm reading the script when they still have their admission tickets on their desks, and I go:

"Remove everything off your desk except... I see you guys going for your admission tickets, why're you assuming that? You're like the lady at Subway who starts reaching for the lettuce before I just want spinach!"

Always gets a laugh. Calming their nerves before their test is super important, and I think the proctor really can help with that.

For the record, they are supposed to keep their admission tickets on their desk at that time haha.

Guys and girls in the gym who want to do supersets so they hog up multiple equipment while giving everyone the side eye who wants to get some work in.

Let me add some gym ones:

- The old men at the Y who like to walk around butt naked.
- The old man who hops on a machine and you're cool with sharing it but he just camps there and takes it over and does the machine wrong for 15 minutes
- The young kids who sit around and talk for 50% of the time they are at the gym and hogging up equipment
- Guys who wear shirts where I can see nipple. Brah you've gone too far. Nobody wants to see your nipples.
- Dudes who look like they took 30 minutes to put their gym outfit together
- Dudes who wear way too much spandex...or just wear the equivalent of yoga pants.

All this is why I have a home gym. I already don't like people in general. I'm not sure I could stand them at a gym.

Maybe someone can take a tasteful picture of that so they can send it out as a Christmas card.

I do at least 3 of these..

You know what grinds my gears? My wife! Always leaving things out, she never puts anything away or throws anything away, she just leaves stuff on the counter. It makes me just want to scream. Good thing I love her or she would have to go. She also always leaves the controller off the charger for the PS4 so when I want it it's half dead.

Like every spring/summer...dandelions. I was taking them out yesterday (yeah, I have lots of them I need to pull out with the root, and some I have), and thought I got all of them. I turn around, and I see them again right behind me. It's like they were popping out while I was there...strange...

Dandelions make me feel like Costanza

All flowers are allergy-triggering bull****. I could go the rest of my life never seeing a flower and I'd be entirely happy with that.

Clothing sizes.

There is no mother****ing consistency for this. A medium shirt could fit like I'm a linebacker squeezing into a Youth's small or it could fit like a Large and hang off of me like I'm a kid in the early 90s.

Pants are only marginally better, but there's so many different ****ing fits (husky, stocky, big-boned, slim, athletic, fit, classic, skin&bones, etc) that it really doesn't matter.

Ya, diff brands seems to have diff sizes. It's why you need to try on everything before buying. Clothes are the main reason online shopping isn't for everything. Sometimes the sleeves might fit fine but it's too tight, or the bottom of the shirt hangs down too much, or sleeves too short and so on.

I've even bought some stuff in past not even thinking about that and ended up finding out it's too small.
