    People who park on the street when they have a long driveway with no cars in it.

    People who park on the street directly across from someone else who's parked on the street so only one car at a time can get around them.

    People who park on the street on a blind curve or in the middle of an intersection. Like right by the stop sign of a 4-way stop.

    This doesn't bother me except on Cypresswood, which should not allow street parking. I'm sure there are other locations, but I don't mind street parking as long as it does not cause a bottleneck.

    These are annoying.

    People who get on an elevator, press their floor, and then stand in front of the buttons or doors.

    Especially, irritating when all floors require badge access clearance.

    Move out of the way.

    Absolutely. This is a problem for me because I live on a cul de sac with an island in the middle and everyone on the adjacent street uses it as a parking lot. Not a big deal, but yeah.....don't park right in front of my driveway.

    Or do the polite thing and ask what floor everyone is going to and press them yourself.

    Agreed, but unfortunately our building security requires (specific) badge access for each floor.

    People who answer a comment with just "heard". I have no real reason to be bothered by this but it annoys the living s*** out of me.

    Also, these new Xfinity/Jurassic Park commercials with the AI Sam Neal and Laura Dern. Creepy as hell.

    I think this is something common in executive kitchens, so people see it on shows like Top Chef or any Gordon Ramsey show and say it.

    It's kind of like the people who say "roger that" or "copy that" in everyday conversations. Quit pretending to be a navy seal or a 1st responder and just say okay.

    Interesting. Now that I think about it...most of the people that say it to me are in the restaurant industry.

    Still find it annoying.
