    Movie posters in which the billing of the actors is in a different order than their likenesses appearing on it. For example:
    image

    Why couldn't the name of each actor appear right above their position on the poster?
    Actors (or at least their people) take billing very seriously. I guarantee that order was hashed out in negotiations. Just a quick search showed the same order on different posters. The DVD also has the same order.

    I am aware. I just find it stupid, counter-intuitive, and petty.

    As that was a pet peeve of mine it was appropriate, but I shall depart now!

    People not reading a two page thread to see if their joke has been done before.

    People.

    Well in this case the rattling WAS asked for, so no I'm not complaining about this thread or the people in it.

    Every time my English teacher thinks he's teaching history. Great moments include "The Victorian Era was a time of wealth," "Samuel Johnson invented the first dictionary" and "the Anglo-Saxons were more than a culture, they were a civilization."

    I am sorry who the fuck flips someone else's board game upside down without checking to see if there are loose bits in it.

    I am paid to say hello to you. You can at least acknowledge it instead of being an ass and ignoring me you yuppie asshole. *

    *rough day at work.

    People talking loudly in Spanish over my shoulder while I try to read on the subway.

    I don't know what it is about you, Spanish, but you completely destroy my ability to concentrate on the words in my book.

    Friends and family who ask me to proofread their work "because you're a grammar nazi and good at spotting mistakes", then get upset when their paper is essentially bleeding red from all of the errors I spotted.
    I only did what you asked! You knew what you were getting into!

    If you have good ones, the only difference is whether or not you want to listen to music/podcasts.

    I have Etymotic musician's plugs which just reduce the volume of everything, but I often wear my insertion earbuds even when I'm not listening to anything to get almost complete silence.

    Carry your rate structure pamphlet in your wallet, then insist on giving them their money's worth.

    People who use "fancy" terms like logical fallacy to sound smart but use them incorrectly.

    If you know enough about debate to know the term logical fallacy then you should know enough to use it correctly.

    Autoplaying music on websites. You'd think those dark days were behind us but some folks on tumblr haven't got the message.

    Kind of specific one: While living at home, any cup that did not have someone physically holding onto it would be immediately emptied and washed. I would set a cup full to the brim with juice and ice, take a sip, leave to grab a book. Not thirty seconds later, I come back, juice is down the drain, cup is in the drying rack, and the culprit is gone already.

    Those were thirsty times, man...

    Tumblr is the new Geocities. You ever notice how much those MLP comic blogs are like sites in webrings?

    In most situations, aren't those equivalent?
