Digital billboards. That degree of rapid pace advertising is toxic, also those fuckers are bright AF.

I would extent this to billboards in general. Its annoying and nonsensical to advertise private products in public spaces
I would extend this as well to solicitors.
People saying “blog” when they mean post. You did not write a new blog on your blog, you wrote a new post on your blog.
You do not drive your car on the car. You drive your car on the road.
Do people still have blogs?
Totally. Whole businesses have sprung up for running and monetizing them. Check into Ghost, WordPress and WooCommerce, Memberful. Lots of other options.

Regional locks.
Why the fuck can't I watch first 2 seasons and last 2 seasons of an anime on crunychroll sony? Why the fuck can't I register your accounts to my country sony? Why the fuck can't I buy your games on steam in my country sony? Why the fuck can't I listen to your music on my streaming subscription, sony?
There is no reason for this shit to exist.
Unless it was part of it, multiple levels of packaging.
Open up a bag of chips. It's bag, then chips. Perfect world.
Open up a box of cookies from hell. Open up the box. Open up the freshness seal bag. Pull out the individually wrapped cookies, and open those too.
Straight to jail. No question.
Is it by magical means? Then name calling, mostly to watch Trump deal with it.
The 9/10 extension on gasoline pricing.
When this fuel was 13¢ per gallon, sure some folks might want to compete with finer-grained pricing.
It's time to drop that pretense
Anybody else owning cats. Then I can have all the cats. 🐱 🐈
No more internet gaming, all multiplayer gaming must be local, so that you can actually get your dumb ass up from the chair and punch (or be punched) by others, like our ancestors intended.
Teenagers. Just ship 'em off somewhere between the ages of 13 and 18. Pouty, Self-entitled, disrespectful shits.
That is an incredebly cruel thing to say about developmentally challenged people.
Maybe they are like that because we already ship them off to indoctrination camps between ages 7-13.
The ability for human beings to advance scientific knowledge further than it currently exists.
Something needs to protect the rest of the galaxy from us.
Ah, the Amish Philosophy.
Pick a time period and stick to it like it's a moral virtue
LOL, the Amish Philosophy.
Nothing so crude. I simply think it’s better for the universe if we don’t propagate it, because we’re not a good enough example for other species to follow yet. It’s not about respecting “God’s” law so much as acknowledging humanity’s limitations. We’re a pathetic species, not ready for rulership over multiple planets, let alone multiple solar systems. My comment simply suggests I don’t have confidence we ever will be. This has nothing to do with the Amish belief that we’re better in a simplistic state; just that the universe is better without us in whatever state.

Property taxes. Land value taxes are just better.
The now ultra-common usage of "whenever", when they actually mean "when".
I can't fucking stand it. But it's everywhere now. I have no idea how it got so common but I'm surrounded by people who use it incorrectly.
I wonder if I’m using it incorrectly now.
We can go to the cinema whenever you like.
That is how I would use it. And I would use when like, when did you go to the cinema?

Green bell peppers. I hate the way they taste. Had someone tell me they don’t taste like anything. Ok then why even bother if there’s no taste?
Green bell peppers have a distinct taste. They also mature into other colors of pepper so your request is denied.
