Things that frustrate us all

I thought of something I wanted to post in this thread earlier, but now I can't remember what it was. So now I'm frustrated that I can't remember what frustrated me.

I can't tell you how many times I have done a similar thing... wanting to tell someone something, only to put it off for a few minutes and then forget completely.

I am sometimes mad at my brain for what seems to be disobeying direct orders. :)

Agreed.

I walk very quickly compared to many people. I move with purpose.

It does have it's drawbacks, though. For instance, if I want or need to walk slowly, it's actually very difficult. As odd as this sounds, my legs will actually ache if I walk too slowly.
 
For me it's just my lower back. I can walk around, or run around all day and feel only normal wear and tear. But when I go to a concert in a place that has only standing room it's terrible.
 
Drivers here suck. It's night time, it's raining, the highway is curvy without barriers and vehicles are passing me like their lives depend on it, and I'm not even below the speed limit!
 
Yeah, that's always a little unnerving.

This reminds me of one that I run into on my bike rides a lot, when people are walking along the paved path that I use for part of my ride, and have their ear buds in and can't hear anything else. I always let people know I'm coming up behind them, and there are times where I've tried like 5 or 6 time to get their attention and practically crash trying not to run them over, and they're totally oblivious to the fact that I'm behind them.
 
Cyclists are scary, especially when you drive a big vehicle with a lot of suction. They're fragile, hard to see, and you never know if they're going to act like a pedestrian or a motor vehicle in a given situation.

Oh, so you like the Boston Celtics? Well how about I tell you about single pedantic Twitter diss war between two NBA players!
 
Book shelves where they’re stacked vertically so you have to tilt your head to read the titles. My invention is a pair of glasses that flips the image 180 degrees to make it easier to read a row of books. If anyone does it and it’s a success please give me a cut.
 
Problem with stacking them horizontally is that pulling one out will cause the rest to come tumbling out and land on your toes. Or maybe your head if it's a high shelf.
 
Why is it that when I change my Jeep's speedometer from miles to kilometers, my outside thermometer, right above said speedometer, does not change from Fahrenheit to Celsius? That just seems like a no brainer to me.
 
A bigger imponderable is why it's relevant. The metric system is superior to the English one, and pretty much every other country on the planet has adopted it. Why aren't we using meters, kilos, and degrees Celsius?

Maybe it's to make it easier for American drivers who are driving in Canada, who want to set the speedometer to km/h so that they can follow the speed limit signs, but have no idea what an outdoor temperature of 17°C would mean?
