1.
Planned obsolescence.
2.
Websites with those stupid videos that stay open in a floating window when you scroll down below the main video. Seriously, who thought those were a good idea?
3.
Leaving e-scooters in the middle of the sidewalk.
4.
Robocalls.
5.
Ads on TV taking up more time than the actual show.
6.
Selling photos of people without their consent, like paparazzi.
7.
Advertisements for prescription medication.
8.
Police sirens in radio commercials.
9.
Cutting in lines for public things like transportation, groceries, etc. Such a pet peeve.
10.
Price gouging, specifically at the gas pumps.
11.
Politicians buying/selling/trading stock while in office.
12.
Free trials that force you to pay or put in credit card details.
13.
Loud modded pipes on cars and bikes. Total disturbance of the peace.
14.
False statements in advertising.
15.
Listening to loud music from your phone without using earphones in public places, especially in public transport.
16.
Multi level marketing.
17.
Gerrymandering.
18.
Junk mail. Think of all the "You're prequalified for a credit card!" mail people get, and how much of that goes straight in the trash.
19.
Outrageous student loan rates.
20.
Life-time appointment for Supreme Court Justices.
21.
Politicians getting any pension, insurance, or security after getting convicted of anything connected with their office.
22.
Stupid mobile game ads. They are totally misleading and should be illegal anyway.
23.
Small "X" buttons on mobile ads. I hate the kind where unless you have dainty fingers you get redirected to a website.
24.
Gambling Advertisements.
25.
It should not be legal to call yourself “news” unless you report information that has been checked out, and verified. No more propaganda masquerading as “news.”
