This applies to stupid corporate or bureaucratic policies just as well, if not better.In the way of more minor issues that get my goat:1. Restaurants with employees who don't know you at all who come out to sing you happy birthday. I don't want your false, forced sentiments. I try to be nice, because I know they have to do it or possibly get fired, but that just adds lies to lies. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> 2. Food products that change their recipe, then advertise themselves as "improved" when they decidedly AREN'T and only changed to save money. I'm looking at YOU, Nacho Cheese Doritos! Nacho Cheesier my aching arse.3. Along the same lines, food products that I grow used to and enjoy that suddenly become completely unavailable, period.4. Also along the same lines, restaurants that change how they prepare a dish with no indication given in the menu or by the waitstaff.5. High Fructose Corn Syrup6. Phone systems that take you in loops.7. Phone support people that can't speak the language of the people they are meant to support properly.8. When the local TV network affiliate screws around with the feed on the rare program that I have REALLY been looking forward to.9. Creative minds hampered from doing really neat stuff, particularly crossover stuff, by their proprietary affiliation with particular entertainment companies.10. POLLEN, and the way the screwed up weather lately has seemingly extended allergy season. At least for me.11. People who code viruses and other malware, and their creations.12. Software companies that change things JUST to make you buy the next version.13. Entropy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> And then, my other big one, which actually covers some of the small ones: People who make the effort to lie or intentionally make things difficult for others, rather than trying to do something useful or helpful or, barring that, just shutting up and doing nothing.</blockquote>
