Really?

I hate when the checkout cashier turns your frozen pizza on edge and all the toppings get redistributed to one side.

How far from the store do you live?

I don't like it when someone gets in your car or truck and all of a sudden they think can change the AC setting and the radio station to their liking.
The last person to try that was left by the side of the road scratching their head...

We have an entire kitchen drawer full of every kind of interface plug for many devices. The Europeans are right to standardize this sort of thing for charging. Its mind numbing to figure out what interface a device needs. And so many minutes wasted to figure out if its a USB-C, with ability to charge, or run a video out. We have 7 or 8 cables, of USB-C. Some fast charge, some show charge, some can't do video out put. It's really bothersome to not have the right cable. Cause they all look the same out of the drawer.

I think USB-C is finally solving this problem, at least for the moment. I'm sure it'll all be thrown into the wind again in 10 years, but for today, all roads seem to be converging on USB-C. Heck, even my latest iPad and iPhone are USB-C, which is the first time I've ever seen Apple join the rest of the world on any interface since the late 1980's.

Just get in their car when no key in ignition. Turn everything wide open: wiper high, radio full blast, fan high, seat forward, etc.
So when they start it

So true!

Drywall anchors, especially with kids living in a house that I didn't build I'm done with that junk forever. I'd rather use a router on a piece of 1x, paint it, to make aesthetically pleasing for my wife anyway. At least I can hit studs, and cover the holes caused by what the anchors were supposed to support in a perfect world i guess. Rants over.

I agree. The other week, while I was away, our entire master bedroom closet shelving pulled out of the wall. OF course, fixing it snowballed like most projects and involved completely repainting the closet.

It did make me make a mental note that if I ever build another house, I'm going to put additional blocking in the wall for attaching shelving.
