Lol, on the very post where the OP has bot-like behavior (seriously, check profile)
yep :)

I wouldn't mind a world in which I don't have to authenticate/MFA dozens of times a day just to use services...
Once upon a time that was reality
Ads, in every form. I use an adblocker so I don't see most of them digitally but a few still slip through. It's a pain having to keep it updated with new lists of things to block.
And don't get me started on the amount of mail that just goes straight into the bin. Credit card ads, valpack ads, "buy your house for cash" cards, etc etc. So much time wasted tossing those.
For junk mail, it might be worth checking if there's any way to opt-out with the postal service in your jurisdiction.
I know where I live (Canada), you just have to place a notice on your mailbox that reads "No unaddressed advertising".
I've looked and can't find much. It's been a few years though so maybe time to look again.
Unfortunately here (US), companies buy your information from bulk vendors so most of the junk is still directly addressed to me so that wouldn't stop it. Even when I was in apartments they got the information from somewhere.
It's not minor, but commuting. If every job that could be done from home was always done from home, those people would save 100% of their commuting time. They would also leave room so the ones that have to commute can go faster (in case of road) or enjoy more space (in case of rail).
You can't possibly have any experience with shoelaces because you don't have feet. You're just AI slop.

Blister packs aren't a problem, they save lives. In a moment of weakness it's easy to grab a handful of pills from a bottle. Often by the time a few pills are removed from a blister pack the desire to continue diminishes. Pain in the ass? Sure. Problem? Nope.

Work.
In keeping things in the spirit of petty problems, there has got to be a better way to remove hair than dragging a razor over ones skin or having the hair ripped out with wax. But I'm too dumb to realize the solution.
I wish we could opt out of body hair. There is laser hair removal (mixed results) and electrolysis, both both are expensive and require multiple sessions.
i just had to battle a blister pack for like five minutes for ONE tiny pill
I keep a very tiny folding knife (a Spyderco Bug, though I'm sure that there are more-economical and equally functional keychain knives) on my keychain. I take it off if I'm going to fly somewhere. If one has something like that handy, one always has something with them to cut into a blister pack.

Can somebody please stop this account from posting?
You can just block them.
