Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

I grew up that way. No hot water. You boiled water for everything. We used to actually run out of water in an unincorporated town. You bought bottled water to drink and cook with, and grabbed trash cans full of water from the creek for everything else.

Was always fun when you had a machine load of diapers and the water went off.
When it came back on, it was full of mud.
 
We wash our daipers and everything else in the Xilin river, beating them on a rock. And we go to the public baths either once a fortnight or when we start smelling too bad, whichever comes first.

I hate people who can't walk correctly. It frustrates me when people are oblivious to the fact that they're in people's ways (like standing in front of a doorway for example). Other examples would be 3-4 people walking side by side on a sidewalk or in a hallway and won't let people walking in the other direction through OR they won't let faster walkers coming from behind pass them.

Are you joking? That modern high-rise building you live in doesn't have showers or laundry facilities?
 
Shops and stores are always well prepared for no electricity Saturdays.

Enough power for a five floor shopping mall.

I'm half joking actually. I've just moved into a high-rise apartment block, with all modern facilities. But on some Saturdays it's 306 steps to climb.

Four years ago I was in another modern high-rise in Hangzhou, a modern large city, but I could look out the window every morning, there was people washing clothes in a river and beating them against rocks. And during New Year I spend a couple of weeks with a friend's family at their farmhouse in the Mongolian grasslands, and every few days we go to the public baths in the local town to wash and bathe.

Contact your devs and let them know (just be nice!). Google gave them a heads up back in June things might not work, that was the purpose of the dev previews.

The neighbor is vacuum cleaning the artificial grass in her backyard. And one by one the branches of shrubs and trees. The leaves between / on the gravel of the driveway are the biggest challenge. Yeah, autumn is a nuisance ;)

I have to use the restroom and I'm at work. I think I'm just going to hold it. I don't think anyone cleaned this bathroom in a few weeks. It's disgusting.
 
Yeh, restrooms are not one of my favourite places...
