Stupid Pet Peeves

Why can we not build and maintain a nice smooth road in this state?

The trick is getting no one to drive on it and no water to every fall on it, let alone freeze on it. Take care of those 2 things and you have no problems!

Oh except for the sun. That kills roads everywhere.
 
The classic Utah pronunciation of lots of words is irritating. You get that same effect with the word "Lay'uhn" for Layton. "Rill" for real is another one, generally pronouncing any long "e" and a short "i". "Melk" for milk. The list goes on and on.
So I was watching a YouTube videos about dialects, a guy I really like, and he hit in exactly this from this conversation.

I tried to clip the relevant part. See if it worked. Otherwise it's at about the 13 and a half minute mark.

Ok so it won't let me embed media from YouTube with a specific time stamp, so go to the 13:15 mark.

 
Got a plumbing problem at my flat, called the estate agent no call back, now i've frittered the morning away, its now too late to have breakfast before work. Idiot!!
 
People who drive extra slow in front of you but then blatantly blow through stop signs or red lights.
 
Had another one at work last night. Guy in the break room watching video on his phone with the volume way up. I just don't understand how anyone thinks that's ok.
