Time to vent about those annoying tropes again.. I’ll go first. Whats grating me now is the classroom trope where the lecturer broaches a huge topic. Gets all set up, draws the thing, starts explaining the topic and all of a sudden the bell goes. The two minute class strikes again. Teachers don’t start huge topics in the last two minutes of class! submitted by /u/WintersIllWind …

Love Tokyo Vice but I find Ansel Elgort annoying I can’t be the only one! The guy is frustrating to watch as he just comes across as such a wet blanket and feel like he has quite a punchable face. Everything down to his foppish hair. The character also just seems quite conceited and an ideologue, I think Elgort overplays it. He seems like a character the audience is supposed to like and root …

Why is Windows 11 so got dang annoying? Illustration by Alex Castro / The VergeA couple of weeks ago, I ran out of screen on the one external monitor my work-issued MacBook Air can run. So I switched to my five-year-old Windows desktop and plugged in another monitor. Love it. Productivity through the roof. But it means that I’m finally spending significant time in Windows 11, and gosh…

When has a annoying/unlikeable character shined?

Hated Jon but willing to die fo…

Microsoft’s fullscreen Xbox pop-up ads don’t have to be annoying Screenshot by Tom Warren / The VergeWhen I turned my Xbox on yesterday, I was greeted with a fullscreen pop-up ad for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III. I posted on X (Twitter) about it and thought nothing more of it because annoying as it was, this isn’t the first time Microsoft has used a fullscreen takeover to promote one of its new games — an…

What’s a character that you dislike/find annoying in a TV show you otherwise like? I’ve been watching For All Mankind (insanely good show btw watch it). The show usually has excellent grounded dialogue but then the charchter Molly Cobb comes along and every single line she says is some witty over rehearsed one-liner and it makes me cringe a bit and doesn’t feel like it fits with the show at all. (For the purose of the questio…

What’s The Most Annoying Car In Your Area? From Atlantic to Pacific, the name Altima strikes fear into the hearts of drivers of all ages. It conjures images of vehicles spun wildly out of control, careening through traffic like unguided missiles.

Google Flights is Getting Really Annoying Google flights shows results from all sorts of travel agents now. I have no desire to book through a third party. There’s no way to book online through the airline. When you call the airline, the price is actually much higher. Google Flights doesn’t tell you the price is for a travel agency until the last page. How do you get rid of these annoyi…

Who were the most annoying kids in TV sitcoms, in your opinion? Seven from MARRIED…WITH CHILDREN Cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch Chachi and Joanie in HAPPY DAYS: Chachi got on my nerves with his one-note, unfunny character and Joanie was filler.

Why do closed captions put so it blocks the shows own subtitling? It’s so annoying! I always watch shows using subtitles. Currently I’m watching a show that jumps back and forth between English and French quite often. Whenever French is being spoken, the show provides its own subtitles but the closed captioning puts right over the top so the subtitles are covered up and unreadable. This is so incredibly frea…

Annoying lens reflection Does anyone know how to remove my headlights’ reflection in the air? I get it in almost all my pictures but mostly it’s unnoticeable or acceptable. But in this case I can’t stand it. Also what do you think of the shot? Legit spent 4 hours editing but I also didn’t really know what I was doing so I wasted a lot of time doing things that weren’t n…

Try This When an Annoying Piece of Food Gets Stuck in Your Throat When it’s working properly, the human body is an amazing feat of engineering. But when things go wrong, it suddenly transforms into a 20-year-old photocopier with a metastasizing paper jam. For example, eating is generally a pretty smooth experience—until you get a piece of food stuck in your throat that simply will… Read more…

What annoying song(s) get stuck in your head? What musical terrorism gets stuck in your head and you can’t get rid of it? My SO can’t stand Escape (The Piña Colada song), but I happen to like, so when she calls me, that’s her ring tone. The song that I can’t stand and takes forever to vacate my cranium is the 1 877 Kars for Kids jingle. Jesus Herman Christ does that get on my last nerve! Wh…

Does anyone else hear the quite, annoying off tempo chime in “Steal My Sunshine” by Len? I tried to see if anyone else has mentioned this before but have had no luck, so I’m posting about it here. I was listening to Steal My Sunshine on Tidal, when I noticed this constant, but almost unnoticeable low pitched dinging sound, that starts at this time (YT link), and keeps going off randomly every couple of seconds throughout the song. I…

Which cartoon characters you found very annoying when you were a kid? Bright Eyes and Brattina (that VOICE!!!) from POUND PUPPIES Webby and Bubba the Caveduck from DUCKTALES. Webby was just too one-dimensional, always whining and that doll, why did she even want to go on adventures? Thank god she wasn’t a regular on every adventure. And Bubba got way too much focus. As a kid, I felt like the show became about Bubb…
