For me, it’s when food packaging doesn’t tear open properly and I have to go get scissors to open it.

The cat knocking over a potted plant and then playing in the dirt so it gets scattered around (or they do something worse with the dirt than playing).

Oh, that's especially annoying with coffee and you get it to finally tear open and it's a stupid hole you can't reseal or a tear that gets wider every time you go to get more coffee (or whatever the item is).

It gets worse: I'm overconfident in my ability to tear the packaging open unaided and the food ends up all over my hand.

omg EVERYTHING.

When I have to peel the plastic/hard wax rind off cheese, and it sticks fast to the cheese round instead of peeling away nicely. Looking at you, Jarlsberg, looking at you.

Arrrghh, yes. Or when food products have a resealable opening, and the stupid ziploc thing is so weak it tears off the bag, or plain old refuses to seal and you have to repackage everything in another ziploc bag anyway.

That I feel better emotionally when I do things like exercise or keep my living space clean

Right now I'm annoyed because I thought I was getting Milka with hazelnut from the European store here and I actually got the Milka with hazelnut and raisin.

Vinyl people who are WAY too pretentious about their setups. Like, do I not get the appeal of first pressing snobs, grading geeks, and people who'll shoot you for not using inner bags? Yes. Do I find people who say you might as well throw away your records if you dare not use a $500 diamond needle EXTREMELY annoying and pretentious? Oh, definitely. Like, I have a pretty ok setup, but it cost less than $700 and that's with a speaker upgrade that I got, like, 2 years after getting the turntable and amp I use. For some people, my setup is trash and I might as well be listening to Limewire-era CD rips while taking sandpaper to my records for the audio quality I get.

I'm currently playing AC Odyssey, and would it have killed them to generate new military camp layouts? I've raided the same goddamned camp (with the same rock formation in the corner and a wild feline of some sort in a cage under the lookout tower) around the ancient greek world about 40 times now.

Sticker residue.

It's not an angry rant or dealing with something upsetting vent, it's an "I want to tell someone and I have nobody else" vent. Posting as second comment because it's kind of long.

I just did something I'm really scared to do: I sent a celebrity a fan letter. It doesn't help that it's so hard to find official addresses for some people and I have to gamble with what Google gives me. I really hope he gets it and likes it. I put my return address on, just in case, which is the part that scares me the most.

The best case scenario: he'll write me a reply to tell me it's the best thing he's ever gotten and that he was having a bad day but I cheered him up, or something like that.
The most likely scenario: it will get lost among the 5,000 other letters he'll get that day, either literally (he never even sees it) or figuratively (he reads it but finds it totally forgettable), and I'll never hear about this again. Or the address will turn out not to be legitimate and it will end up in a dead letter dump somewhere.
The worst case scenario: the letter will end up in someone else's possession somehow, and they'll post it online to mock me, complete with my name and address.

Sorry to piggyback, but I have my own vent. The hospital that my brother-in-law has been in has been a complete clusterfuck. I would not send my worst enemy to Baylor, Scott, and White. From there being a hole in the wall of a room on the infectious disease (including COVID) floor to now them forgetting to get the prescriptions and authorizations ready for the day they were intending to discharge him, they have been genuinely terrible all around.

Oh, and when I went to visit him yesterday, the door from the stairwell onto the floor wasn't guarded, and the nursing station was a ways away where they couldn't see the door. And it wasn't locked. WTF?

I'm currently watching a video pointing out all the OSHA violations in Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach.

A recording of someone doing a minor unimportant quest in Final Fantasy XIV - because I was doing this quest myself and the NPC was like "here's this item, you can use it!" and apparently I needed to use it to progress. But I couldn't find the item anywhere in the multiple types of inventories. So I was like "okay WHERE IS THIS THING?! How am I supposed to use it if I can't find it?!" and finally gave up and watched someone else do the same quest so I could see which menu the item could be found in.

Turns out the guy didn't actually GIVE ME the item, it was just somewhere nearby on the ground and I had to find and select it. Sigh.

A bunch of Whose Line is it Anyway clips.

Weird Al - Hardware Store - Cat Version

This question is both made for me and perhaps a bad idea for me in the same breath. I've been binging on Coffeezilla yet again (because I ran out of shame two years ago), with this one (on Andrew Tate) being the most recent.

LittleKuriboh Watches YGO GX

Just watched the most recent Jenny Nicholson Patreon video, where she attempts to basically make up the plot of Supernatural, which she has seen like one episode of, based mostly on the promotional material

It was good

Not as an insult, not as some kind of derision, but hobest confusion. I'm always very confusion when I see these little pixel people. I'm not quite sure what's going on, and what some guy named Dream or Tommy has to with it all. Is it live? Like what is happening?!

An anon responded to my question, stating it's better I not know (I'll take your word for it, thanks lol).

What's a fandom that confounds you? Be it that it has a fandom at all (i.e. Folger's coffee commerical) or how it operates irl/online.

Members of said fandoms, please feel free to provide explanation (or laugh as you scroll past our confusion).
