For instance, the person who first came up with the idea that is now used on just about EVERY talk show (with an audience), to start flashing the "Applause" sign BEFORE the host is done talking, just before he/she sends the show to commercial...... What sense does that make? Let the host finish talking, THEN flash the sign and go to commercial, so you can actually HEAR what he/she is saying..... I have NO doubt the "logic" behind this 'invention' originally had to do with money..........as in, "Hey, you know how we can get to commercial quicker? We overlap the host's final words before going to commercial with the audience clapping.......". On the surface, "saving" what amounts to a few seconds that would normally be lost if they waited for the host to first finish talking, before flashing the applause sign and then going to commercial doesn't seem like that big a deal.......but once you start adding up the few seconds 'saved' every time a show goes to break during every show, and then start multiplying that amount, night after night, and year after year, it's DEFINITELY going to add up to a sizable amount of time that can then be used for more commercial time, rather than being 'wasted' on air time used during the actual show. And unfortunately, it's one of those annoying little things that once you notice it, and start paying closer attention to just how many shows now follow this silly practice, gets to be VERY difficult (well, for me, anyway) to "unnotice"..... Anybody got any others ?? SAVE FERRIS

Bag checks at public events--sporting events, concerts, amusement parks, etc., where there are no metal detectors/scanners. The people doing the bag checks are always very inconsistent about it, and there's no possible way they can check every compartment in a bag, because every bag is different, many have compartments that are difficult to notice if you're not familiar with the bag, etc.

Why do people press the tv remote or anu remote button hard when the batteries are about to die or dead already. I myself do it and almost everyone.

Scissors in packaging which requires scissors to open. Anything in packaging needing scissors to open when it is not expensive or dangerous for it to be out.

Same sort of redundant reaction that is similar to pushing an elevator floor button that has already been pushed to request to stop at that floor and the light is lit. Or in the elevator lobby of a floor pushing the up button when the person waiting there has already pushed the up button.

Or in the elevator lobby of a floor pushing the up button when the person waiting there has already pushed the up button. There's a bank of 4 elevators at Grand Central station that go from the lower (middle) platforms to the underpassage that is old as dirt. You can't press the button for the next elevator when the first elevator just closes it's doors. That elevator will open up againand elevator 2will still not come. Idk how many times I have had to say don't press it yet and have them look at me. What's more... The elevators even LOOK older than dirt, do you really expect these to be sensored and smart???

LOL, applause signs are a real thing? And not something the Simpsons made up to make fun? That is really sad.
The laughter in talk shows in general is incredibly annoying.

When Christians say “Jesus died for our sins” (as in, “Jesus was sacrificed in our place”). No, he didn’t. Doesn’t it even make sense: God could’ve prevented the crucifixion but didn’t—let’s keep in mind he/she/it created the universe in a week—so everyone born from now on has to recognise this avoidable incident as something that was totally not? Fuck off.
