Thanks, Gary! I went for a massage and that helped a lot!
Things that frustrate us all

When other people think that hot weather is great and that other people should like it too. Uh no, that's not how it works. 
I hate it. (I said to the person, 'I understand that the heat is different where you used to live, but not everyone likes heat overall, period.')

I hate the hot weather. Winter is my favorite time of year. Unfortunately, it's ungodly hot here 7 months of the year.

Yea I like both Fall and Winter the most where I'm at, along with Spring when it's not that warm. That's horrible.
I love the hot weather. Probably because we get so little of it. I live my life feeling cold most of the time. Winter is the worst, but I’m cold even in temperatures most people consider “average”. Summer is the only time I actually feel warm, so of course I appreciate that.
The worst part of summer is that everyone wants to crank their air conditioning, so I’m often cold even in the summer months. I don’t appreciate having to wear sweaters to work in July! (I remember one time the A/C broke, and it was around 28C inside, and everyone was complaining how hot it was... and I was like, “But I’m actually comfortable for once!”)
That being said, I’m the only one in my family who is like this: everyone else is heat-averse. So I understand that everyone has their own internal thermostat, and I would try not to (seriously) deride people just because their own doesn’t mesh with mine. Sure, they tease me in winter, and I tease them in summer, but it’s all just good-natured ribbing between family members.
But I have had to bite my tongue when I read things about how wonderful winter is, and how we should all embrace it as part of our Canadian heritage or some such nonsense, when I feel like I’m dying from cold. So I can sympathize, @Random_Spock . And yes, it can even get too hot for me, once it starts getting over 40C or so. That doesn’t happen very often here, but I can understand where people are coming from who live in more southern climes where that is the norm. But for right now, I’m just going to sit in my non-air-conditioned home, and enjoy our low-30s!
I hope everyone who is dealing with excessive heat, is able to stay cool!

I'm the opposite. I'm always hot. Even when I run the air conditioner (as I am as we speak), I need my ceiling fan and floor fan on (both are also going strong as we speak). In the winter time (which I love) I never use my heater, don't need it, but keep several windows cracked open because my house gets stuffy. I wish it snowed in Sacramento. I swear I could go out in it naked and the heat from my body would melt it for a 10,000 mile radious in all directions.I love the hot weather. Probably because we get so little of it.

Anyone else really hate it when you’re a fan of something obscure or nichey and people idly imply you only like that thing to appear cool to people?
There are very few things mainstream that I like. For example, I could listen for hours to Bach's harpsichord music, while most of the people I know, even the ones who went to college would get a headache after an hour or less. And that's why I only do it when I am alone, otherwise, I would be alone anyway.

For me it’s indie rock, craft beer and depressing foreign films.
Have you actually tasted chalk?
Frustration: When the heat makes you too tired to do anything, even with the air conditioning on, and you (meaning myself) already suffer from fatigue due to having cerebral palsy.
If you were ever tasked with cleaning the chalkboard and chalkboard erasers at school, chances are you got a taste from the inevitable clouds of chalk powder.

I will never understand the need to "fix" things that are fine, and the fix makes things worse. It used to be that on YouTube you could click the share button, and doing so would open a link that you can copy, and this would happen well below the video and would not interfere with playback. You could even click a checkbox that allows you to expand the URL of the shared video to mark the timestamp of the moment you want to share. Now clicking share, has a whole new menu that pops up covering the video and the only way to share from a time stamp is for a video link that comes with a frame code for embedding it. UGH!
I mean I know I can type in some code for the time using a question mark and an equal sign. The fact is it USED to be intuitive. When I click share the pop up menu comes on and there is no checkmark for timestamps unless I am going to "embed" it which is a different format. UGH

Hi @Flying Spaghetti Monster ,
Sorry, I'm not really sure this one warrants its own thread. I'm going to merge it with the "Things that frustrate us all" thread.

thank you!
When someone on the street talks to you as if he'd recognized you from somewhere and in a familiar tone as if you were old friends. I can't stand hypocrisy, so in these cases, I just say right away that I don't know who they are, but it always makes me feel bad as if I had done something wrong. And sometimes they take it really bad. The last one; maybe thought that I was mocking him or something because he just walked away without a word. So I can see only three possibilities.
1) He was someone that I knew but never noticed, or he was boring or unpleasant and I just blocked him out (improbable since I have a very good memory but possible nevertheless).
2) I look like one of his old friends and he never realized that I wasn't him.
3) It was either a prank or the beginning of a scam.
In any of these cases, there is nothing for me to be sorry about. It's still frustrating that I don't know which case it was.

When you are in the middle of working on something that you are trying to get done in a timely manner, and then Windows 10 crashes and freezes for no reason when you go to resize a window, so then you have to hard-reset the computer, only to come back to a Windows update screen which shows "100% complete" for several minutes but then restarts the progress at 0%.

When a moth enters the house in the middle of the night through an open window and starts crashing in to things with enough force that it sounds like it’s a bat hitting the wall and plastic bags. And when you get it close enough to let out through the kitchen window, your pyjama top dips in to the water left in the sink, but don’t realise until you get back to bed and wonder what is wet.
