Makes me think a future where vast majority of cars are self-driven will actually be far safer and far more efficient.
People create most traffic because they drive like fucking idiots.

It's even worse when they are saying it out their window while driving, not staying in their lane and taking forever to respond to a green light change.

I could go on for hours about driving pet peeves. everyone is awful.
Of course all the normal shit is annoying, but I have one in particular that I HATE, because it is senseless.
Driving down an interstate, and you get some jackass that drives next to you or slightly behind you in your blind spot no matter how fast or slow you go.
slow down to 65 in a 70, they slow. up to 79, they speed up.
Its like they are too lazy or stupid to check their speedometer or make their own decisions on speed.

Grocery stores that keep the Potatoes next to the Onions.
I don't buy produce at a number of place that do, and I tell the managers about it, they don't GAF. Not exactly experts if they can't manage this one beginners course in grocery inventory keeping-level detail. Makes you second guess EVERYTHING. Or someone high up with zero knowledge on produce is designing the floor plans based on the idea that people buy complimentary items. Guess what, I simply don't buy *anything* from your store then, because it's worthless for me to buy a 5lb bag of potatoes for $2 from you that spoil in a week, when I can pay $2.50, and they last a month from someone who cares to store foods properly. And if I can't buy produce at your store(never is just this one thing, but if you look around, it's a series of serious storage errors) and trust it is kept correctly, then I'm not going trust you keep the other things correctly.
Ever wonder why something like a potato starts rotting after a few days, when they should store nicely for months(pending freshness)? Ever wonder why the insides of your onions are soggy after a week, when the same thing, they should store for an extended period of time? Ever buy garlic that is dry, peppers that should be white inside, but are decomposing and black, despite passing any normal person's ripeness checks? The list goes on and on.
Yeah, fucking grocery stores are to blame. Guess what, this also means they need to turn over inventory faster, so if you ever worked stocking these tedious care items and moving heavy sacks of fruit, they have to do it considerably more often now. Fucking A right that grinds my gears.

Good point. The poor job of stocking done by the produce departments of the Grocery Industrial Complex really makes me also think that 9-11 was an inside job.

It's as if they pay some poor sap minimum wage and never properly train them.

They pay them minimum wage and then force them to join a union and pay Union dues so in essence they earn less than minimum wage because of the Union.

Where? I was in the grocery industry for 29 years and I am unaware of this practice. If they are a unionized shop, they are making more than minimum wage.

I only shop at grocery stores where the workers in the produce department have horticulture degrees.

I will not kid anyone on this board here. I had no idea a potato could wreak such havoc in that produce area! And onions! Holy shit, It's like they are the black widow of the produce section. Today was a learning experience for me and that does NOT grind my gears!

I worked in the produce department at Hyvee during college for a couple of years. I was hungover AF for 75% of my shifts and I'll be honest, I was not really concerned with where the potatoes or onions were being put.

Well clearly, as you can see from @Crystallas' post. It's the high margins on sacks of potatoes, and not the alphabet, that puts the onions next to the potatoes.
