Stupid little things that bug you

[Tuearts right boot]

What's happened to the words criticise and criticism? Everything is critiqued nowadays.

Critiqued is nice criticism, ideal for the understanding non offensive world we now live in.

Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

People in crowded city centres (i.e. especially on a Saturday) glued to their mobiles and not looking where they're going. You have to avoid them, and as far as they're concerned, well son, you can just get fucked.
It's not just a stupid little thing that bugs me, either. It is a blight on society.

Was worse than that in Tesco this lunchtime. Their tills were unable to accept contactless payments due to an IT issue, so it was chip & pin or cash only.
There was someone on the door advising customers of the situation, but I reckon about 90% of people turned round and walked away. This will have been the section of society who insist on doing EVERYTHING on their phones all the time.
Needless to say, I had a lovely quiet shop and happily paid by chip & pin.

Folk who get in to an elevator, then stand looking at each other waiting for it to read their minds and automatically move upwards or downwards.

People who say 'elevator' instead of 'lift' ; )

When you buy something from the bakery and it is in the flimsy plastic so when you try and put it back it splits open and is useless

Could be that they've replaced the Sodium Chloride with Potassium Chloride? Reduces the Sodium content of the crisps so they advertise as "45% less salt" as people are trying to reduce salt intake and it easier to understand at a glance than "45% less Sodium". Still probably has the same amount of "salt" in there but it's a Potassium salt rather than a Sodium salt.

The "45% less Sodium" I mentioned above would likely be incorrect as they can mess with the percentages reported by using either atomic weight of sodium (~23 g/mol) or molecular weight of Sodium Chloride (~58.5 g/mol) depending on which one gives a better percentage for their marketing blurb.

Not sure OP was actually requiring an answer.
