I know this description has been used for years, and it has bugged me for years. Crack (as in addictive crack cocaine) in the title on a recipe. Crack Chicken, Christmas Crack, etc. I know it is supposed to be an ultimate describer as to how yummy something is, but geesh, crack cocaine is deadly and to describe the chicken recipe with that just irks me.
Me being weird and irrational

There is a teaspoon thief in our office of 25-odd people. The management buy new sets of cheap teaspoons every few months, and within weeks we are back down to just one in the kitchen.
I've decided that there are two types of people; those who use that teaspoon to make their cup of coffee or tea, wash it up and leave it on the draining board for the next person, and those who leave it dirty on the draining board or in the sink. Annoying!

I get annoyed at motorcycle riders at times!! Even though I used to ride one myself. In California, it's "legal" to drive between two cars on a motorcycle, and they do it all the time. It is extremely dangerous, and because they come so close to both cars in the lanes, there are a lot of accidents. The drivers of the cars are the ones that usually get the blame, instead of the motorcycle riders. Besides that, they speed too much, but if they are in an accident, most of the time they blame the drivers of the cars. I've seen them do wheelies going down the road--right before they are in an accident--yet it's always the CAR driver that gets the blame. I hate it.
It's probably NOT every time--but we hear way too much that it's the car driver's fault.

One of my coworkers gets on my last nerve some days. When she puts paper in the copier, she leaves the empty paper wrapper on the counter instead of in the recycling bin or trash. She also leaves the lid of the copier up after she uses it. Lastly, she "replies all" to emails. Fortunately, I moved desks this summer so I no longer have to hear her clanking her spoon over and over and over as she stirs her coffee. Also don't have to hear her music all day anymore.

I know I already replied to this thread. But I have another one. The situation shown in my photo. Why does my dh do this? I’ve asked him before and his answer is “in case I need to use that knife again.” But really, how often do you think he EVER needs the knife again? And on the extremely rare time when he might want to spread butter on another piece of bread he could just get another knife. Because of course what happens is that he never needs the knife again and he leaves it just like this. 🙄🤪 This reminds me of another one that my DH always does. He will leave things like his cell phone, his work clipboard, the TV remote, etc. hanging 1/3 of the way off the edge of the counter or table, opening up the distinct possibility that a person or dog will walk past and knock it off and onto the floor. I feel like I am always pushing his stuff all the way onto the horizontal surface it’s sitting on so it won’t fall off and it drives me crazy. Almost as crazy as when he leaves every cabinet door open and room light on after he leaves a room, making it look like someone just went through and ransacked the place. 🙄😫

But I'm not management, I'm a lowly prescribing clerk/care navigator. I did buy a complete cutlery set for the surgery just before I was moved from the location to work at the other two surgeries, and strange to say, two of the very distinctively-designed teaspoons have turned up at one of the other sites. That means that people have taken them home and returned them to a different site. I don't know where the other four have disappeared to though.

Maybe you need to attach each utensil to a big block of wood like they do in grade schools for the hall passes or bathroom passes to keep kids from stealing them, LOL.

I live near a one-lane tunnel. Drivers are supposed to take turns going through one vehicle at a time. I get irrationally annoyed when a second car sneaks in behind the first one. Follow the rules!
I get annoyed when autocorrect changes things that aren't wrong into the wrong word. Like making were into we're. Or its into it's. Then I don't notice that it was changed and I end up looking stupid in my text.

The name was Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (Used to be) NOT Kate Middleton.
Her name is now Catherne, The Princess of Wales, Not Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales or whatever combination.
Her name is Catherine, not Kate.
King Charles III and William always refer to her as Catherine, why can't the media.
Kate sounds so crass.
