It's nice that people getting off the bus thank the driver as they exit next to them via the front door on the transit system I'm using now (SF Muni has too bad of a history for people to do much of this). But is it really necessary when people exit through the back door to yell "Thank you!" very loudly? I mean, don't you think the driver already is thanked enough such that if you personally neglect to thank him / her that they will still feel appreciated by the hundreds of others getting off and thanking them throughout the day?

#405: Dumb Product Boasts
When I see products such as chocolate chip cookies that say "Made with real chocolate!" it makes me scoff. Maybe in times when chocolate becomes so expensive, products are forced to use some fake ingredient to mimic it, then I can understand it. But used now, it's just lazy marketing. Similarly, burger chains that boast "100% all beef" are stupid. Though in Europe with the horsemeat scandal, maybe it's valid there. Severity: 2

#404: Dog Shirts
When I see a dog walking around with a shirt or sweater, I have a feeling of disgust hit me hard. Maybe if it were in the 30s, I would consider this behavior acceptable. But that means I should never have to see it in the bay area. Just lame of people to dress up their dog. Severity: 4

#403: Hotel Name False Advertising
I don't like when hotels try to trick people into thinking they are in a city, when in fact they are not. A good example was one I saw in Emeryville that billed itself "Four Points San Francisco Bay Bridge". The only reason to have that in the name is to make people think the hotel is in the city, when in fact it is not. Severity: 2

#402: Bad Chrome Spell Check for "tommorow"
I not sure why Chrome has such a problem with my common misspelling of "tomorrow." I always do it with 2 m's and 1 r and constantly am pissed when you right click the word with the red squiggly error indicator, it does not give you the option of "tomorrow", even though it's quite obvious that is the most likely word you are trying to write. Microsoft is smart enough to get this, so not sure why Google has issues. Severity: 3

#401: URL Refuseniks
When I give someone the exact web site address and they still will type it into Google rather than directly into the web browser address bar, the inefficiency annoys me. Severity: 2

#400: Iphone "Conversation" Commercials
I sickens me to see the delusional self grandeur the actors indulge in by conversing with "Siri" on their Iphone asking about the weather and closest past restaurants. "Sequences Shortened" is a disclaimer at the bottom indicating the apparently seamless process is really not so. The one with John Malkovich is particularly disgusting and sad. Severity: 5
