We hear about the freakouts, the verbal lashings, the accidents and many more.
But what are some small things, things that have little consequence but are still infuriating or that drive you up the wall?
Here are some examples of my own:

People flocking to the metro doors without leaving proper space for people to leave.
Hearing the same 3 questions at work every time.
People walking slow enough to pass but not letting you.

Soap or shampoo that smell like (and better than) food. Why??

I would expect that to actually make you smell worse. Like the scent of a gamer who hasn't showered all weekend so you can blend in with the rest of your friend group but you're actually an avid gardener.

Boy do I have another flavour for you.

One time many years ago, the hair conditioner I was using smelled so delicious that I just had to have a curious taste to see what it was like. Disappointing to say the least lol. Yes, I was old enough to know better...I was not a small child when I did this lol
