Why can’t popsicles only come in orange and cherry? Why do they have to stick yucky grape in there? Or worse... raspberry?
Why haven’t the tv networks figured out they can stream their videos over the internet and charge their sponsors just as much as if it were on tv?
Why do public toilet paper dispensers only dispense toilet paper one square at a time? Does it really "break the bank" to freely offer it out?
Why do gas stations think if they slow down the rate of gasoline flow at the pump, people will believe they are getting more fuel?
Post your annoyances. inb4threadslikethese :P

When you order something on the internet on a friday.
Cause you have to wait twice as long if you get the standard shipping.
I ordered a hat from this site on friday, and its getting here within the week, but I dont know when. When I was ordering my laptop, I ordered it on a saturday, and it didnt get here till tuesday/wednesday a week later.

People who don’t know the ways a 4-way intersection or "round-about" work.
[Most] Reality Television.
That’s it for now.

Sadly, it’s all the rage here. I believe they originated in England and were quickly adopted by the Eastern Seaboard in the U.S. Then city planners from there moved westward leaving a path of round-a-bouts and destruction in their wake.
They would be a good idea except 1.) most people here don’t understand them and 2.) they are put in inappropriate places where there is too much traffic and it backs up (a light would be better).

This thread is relevant to right now.
Today I got up early, and mowed some lady’s huge lawn for cash. Then, I had to quickly get ready so I could go to work for 8 hours (bagboy, easy job, but boring as hell). When I got off work at 6, I went home and asked my dad if I could go spend the night at a friend’s house.
And this is what fucking pisses me off:
My dad for some reason has a huge random fucking problem with me hanging out with my friends. So when I asked him (my 2 friends were in the room). He instantly says "no". I tell him I don’t have to work tomorrow. He says "no". I ask him why. He says "Because I said so." This goes back and forth for a minute or two. At this point he’s really pissed (I’m still trying to be nice, cuz there’s still a chance). He’s like "I DON’T WANT TO ARGUE WITH YOU ABOUT THIS, I SAID NO!" I continue to try to be nice by saying "Dad, I’m not trying to argue with you, I just want to know why you won’t let me hang out with them."
"BECAUSE I SAID SO!"...and then "YOU’RE GROUNDED"
So at that point my friends leave (pissed at me). And since then I’ve pretty much just been sitting in my room, doing nothing.
TLDR...my dad’s a little bitch who gets what he wants and argues like a 6 year old...even when I’m fair and as nice as possible. I’m pretty much his little bitch.

I can give you the old people’s perspective on this:
I’ll bet it’s because your friends were there and he didn’t want to say he didn’t like you hanging out with them (i.e. they look like pot smokers or thieves). Then when you argued in front of them, it was a failure to "respect his authoritai".
Maybe if you ask him in a few days, he will tell you honestly why.

Nadolf, it’s almost the same for me. Except that it’s with both parents and one of them likes to argue about every single little detail of everything.

It’s because he found out that he’s got ED.
I hate when girls expect you to do something. Something that you don’t have to do, but they expect it for some strange estrogen-filled reason.
It annoys me that I can’t think of anyother thing right now.

Well then, Nadolf you’re just not being annoying enough. Think about this logic... if you’re going to get grounded for asking anyway, then take a chance and just be annoying. Play loud music. Be underfoot. Watch a tv show your dad hates LOUDLY. Go inside and outside the house every few minutes (make sure to slam the door a lot). Talk loudly on the phone and tie it up. Then your dad will want to get you out of the house.

Well I’m just really not the kind of person that will try to piss someone off on purpose. And I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t fix the problem (I wish it would).
I remember my friends making fun of me (not in a serious way) about how my dad never lets me do shit. Well today they really got to see why. I think now they feel sorry for me because they really understand that he does that shit for NO reason. I was even being nice to him.

Yeah I wouldn’t suggest following The Gimp’s advice. No offense but I tried it and it didn’t end well. You may want to just sit down with one day (you could do it in the car so he can’t just walk away) and explain that you’re getting older and want to hang out with your friends. This is the speech I gave my parents when I turned fifteen. I have no clue how old you are but you may want to give this a shot.
