#355: Needless Umbrella Carrying

When I see people carrying umbrellas around on a day that I know for sure it won't rain, it annoys me. People simply need to spend 10 seconds to surf net for the weather and then know that even though it's cloudy, it's not going to rain. Severity: 2

#354: Long Pants During Workouts

I don't understand why women wear long pants or sweats when working out indoors. It's obviously not cold and most of the time, they have nothing to be ashamed about their legs. It doesn't make sense to me why they do not wear shorts. As someone that sweats a lot, it bothers me that people are not fully ventilating themselves. Severity: 1

#353: Not Fully Utilizing the Elliptical Machine

I occasionally go to my alternate gym instead of swimming and do the elliptical machine and I always notice that everyone always just goes on and doesn't program in any setting like Hills. They just do some boring flat easy thing. Lame workout and it would be much better for them to very the resistance, but people are too lazy to figure out the machine settings. Severity: 2

#352: Slow Outlook Email Searching

I'm unbelievable how slow searching for old emails using key words in your offline Outlook is. Microsoft should be ashamed of how it can be that searching online in your humongous history of Gmail is WAY faster. Terrible. Severity: 4

#351: Unusable Abbreviation

In my job, there is a lot of times I need to write the word "Japanese" and would like to abbreviate it. It's always annoying that you can't use the obvious and easiest abbreviation because of the racist connotations. Thanks a lot you damn WW II era epithet users. Severity: 2

#350: White "Chocolate"

My great love of chocolate is what really upsets me about the existence of white "chocolate" because it is not chocolate (the only remote connection is that it must contain at least 20% cocoa butter), yet it appears in collections of chocolate candies as a way to lessen the cost of the collection. I don't understand how it came to be called what it is. Even the FDA has ruled it is not real chocolate after chocolate manufacturers complained. It's not terrible, but it takes away from real chocolate that I'd rather have in my collections. Furthermore, I once bought a whole box of white chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups from Costco because they were on a steep discount (with good reason) and before I knew about the scam. I suffered through finishing that box at work, only when I was desperate for some sugar. Severity: 3

#349: Real Scam Time Life Music Collection Informercial

I couldn't sleep one night and went to finish up a hockey game on the DVR at 3:00 AM and I see Billy Dee Williams on live TV before I switch to the game (he's not looking too good) and so had to stop to see what he was up to. He was promoting a pretty cool Motown collection and the infomercial was great. But the pricing was a total scam. They never even gave it, they just said "Pay a $9.95 trial fee" and if you don't like it, send it back and owe nothing more." So I didn't like that they never once in the ad stated how much the actual cost would be to own the item, which I'm sure was probably over $100. And also, I am sure some of the songs are abbreviated version, as Time Life is known to do, though with a Motown collection, this wouldn't be too big of an issue since most of the songs were short already so they wouldn't have to cut them, but there still are some long version of 70's temptations songs that I bet they cut. Severity: 3
