I have a similar issue with people grabbing CDs or DVDs with their fingers. Guys, it has a hole in the middle so you don't have to do that and get it all smudgy!

This. All this. And people forgetting to put DVDs back in their cases

People using frozen sheet pastry. Yes, I know that some types of pastry are very fiddly and take a long time to make, so frozen pastry has its place, but if you can make it using homemade pastry its a lot better and if you have the time there's really no excuse.
Besides, shortcrust is actually really easy and you can make a lot of things from that.

You direly overestimate the baking skills of people like me.

See, cooking is easy.  You can add a dash of this and that and fudge your measurements and it's fine.  But baking?  Baking is science for hungry people.  And if you get just the tiniest detail off, it ruins everything forever.

Also, I have learned that the only way for me to successfully bake things is to offer the oven a blood sacrifice in the form of burning myself.

Re politics:

"I havent done the research but I trust my gut. Too many people don't trust their intuition. I think I'm right"

that.....that is not how facts work. That is not how reality works. You can't pretend something doesn't exist because your gut doesn't think so. 

Sure theres a place for instinct and intuition but just no.

Usually in movies: people scribbling and writing over maps with markers and pens and stuff. And I'm just sitting there and thinking "Sure, it's not like you're gonna need the details of the terrain you just covered with that thick line marking your route... Oh wait..."

Extroverted teachers who have no concept of introverted people/consider the idea that some of their students might be introverted preposterous

I once had a teacher who, in an effort to make sure to include all the different learning styles, had us all do a mandatory project in each style throughout the year. While I'm sure he meant well, it completely backfired as people still had to work outside their best medium. If he'd said "do a project on this, and it can be an essay, poster, presentation, whatever", things would've gone much better. -_- 

Of course, it didn't help that both he and the subject (Pre-Algebra) were horrifically dull. :mellow:

That magical attraction between my headphones cord and literally anything it can catch on to for the sole purpose of being pulled out of my ear. 

I hate that!

It's so shocking too. One minute, I'm peacefully walking, listening to music, then bam! A sudden pop and abscense of noise. Makes me jump.

Try doing it when you're listening to an audiobook.

My headphones get tangled between jacket layers, scarf and my handbag.

To everyone not having control over their headphones: how about putting the cable under your t-shirt?

But that takes effort. And requires me to be wearing a shirt. :P

In your pocket? Or buy headphones with a cable long enough to reach you're purse if you use one. However, with a cable that long you might have troubles despite having it under your clothes...

Well, wireless headphones exist too :P

Naah, I used to wear headphones under my T-Shirt, they still managed to fall out often.

If they're falling out of your ears, then a way to prevent that is by looping them around the back of your ears and wearing them upside-down
