Eating places that plonk the steak (or whatever) on top of everything else instead of off to the side.
Little things which irritate which probably shouldn't

Trying to open those plastic sacks for produce but I just heard good advice on a solution. Find wet produce then wet your fingers.

that reminds me that I get irritated if my food is served on a wooden or slate board rather than a regular plate

When I Text a friend and much later I get a signal of a message,
I go looking for my phone to see who it is and its that person ,some time much later, posting a smiley or thumbs up
to my text, darn that irritates me.

True we can't lick our fingers anymore cus were wearing a mask.
This reminded me of an incident that happened in the late 1970s at the local hospital that I was employed at. My boss, the director of nursing and I were sitting in the cafeteria when the Maintenance 'Engineer' showed up and sat with us. He started telling us that his mother-in-law was recovering after having surgery to repair her ~ READY? Hymen! My boss started choking on her food from laughing so hard. He meant to say, hernia. I'll never forget ole Jim.

I am guilty of that one only too often, Gloria.
That was me today at the grocery store. Those bags just wouldn't budge. I was so tempted to lick my fingers but knew better. I just kept tugging and tugging.

Fake people, sooooo many out there...
A BEE HIVER! I had one here and never knew it was a thing that had a name.
Well, besides everything lately from being indoors for so long....my neighbor takes showers and baths at every time of the day and night imaginable and I can hear him turn the handles on the tub because they squeak very loudly...he did this from 3:00 to 3:30 AM the other morning which caused me not to be able to sleep and had a sleepless night. I just can't stand the sound of that squeaking! Then there is my other neighbor who's door is a foot from mine...she blasts her music and it comes through her door and through mine and drives me up the wall...I don't like her choice of music at all! Wish I lived in a house far away from neighbors.
This is how I feel about now!

There’s always a few drops of water at the edge of the bin where vegetables are sprayed. I get the number of bags I need, dampen my finger and open them all. No licking and I’m not sticking my hand on the vegetables.

This is for Lewkat- "larnyx". 
Mine are irritating commercials..
The J D Wentworth opera on a subway car.
Jimmy Dean Sausage- stop the voice overs-the poor guy has been dead for years.
This one makes me sound like Scrooge, but.... ads for a charity hospital with kids. A kid in a wheelchair says with a donation you get 'an adorable blanket". What little kid says "adorable"? Poor kid is being used to bring in the bucks. Bah!! Hum Bug!!!!

i could not agree more ... especially the Jimmy Dean thing ...... although most commercials these days are so filled with half truths and misleading BS it is hard to narrow down......This is for Lewkat- "larnyx".

Put the bag between your hands and rub your palms together .. works for me every time.

That doesn't work for me. And I look like I'm trying to summon Aladdin. If he happened to show up my 1st wish would be for that bag to open, I don't care.

That's probably better than licking your fingers after they've held onto the shopping cart handle, though. Produce is usually a long walk to the far side of the store, right?

Oh. Yeah, that's a good idea.

I can't understand why there's a bag of breakfast cereal that's at least 1/3 empty inside a Family Sized box. Those boxes get tossed into recyling soon as I get them home. The insert-tab bit usually gets destroyed when you open them anyway.
