1.  Speaker Phone Conversations

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Having loud phone conversations on speaker in public is rude, obnoxious, and completely unnecessary. 

2.  Emails with no Unsubscribe Buttons

We have all signed up for certain websites or subscriptions with an email when we were younger, and still receive emails about things we don’t care about. Not having an unsubscribe button should be illegal because I don’t want to get emails from things I was randomly interested in when I was 10. 

3.  Airline Overbooking

You’re telling me that airlines are completely allowed to overbook the plane because they assume that some people won’t show up, and then on top of that, they will kick off the person who came on the flight last? 

4.  Reply-all

It’s not that hard to look for the reply button and not the reply-all button. We don’t all need to know that you plan on attending the meeting, Bob. 

5.  Ads on Apps

Being forced to watch ads to perform basic functions on the app is ridiculous. I don’t want to have to watch an ad every time I lose in Block Blast. 

6.  TikToks in Public

I’m all for a good TikTok dance, but I don’t want to hear the music being blasted as loudly as possible while you mess up the dance 10 times in a row. People are staring, and you know it. 

7.  Taking up Two Parking Spots

I hate when people take up two spaces when parking, especially in a crowded parking lot. I don’t care that you don’t want someone parking next to you; think of other people. 

8.  Group Chats

When someone sends something in a group chat and everyone feels the need to like the message. All of my group chats end up getting muted within the first week. 

9.  “No Offense”

As soon as someone says “no offense,” I’m immediately bracing myself for the most backhanded comment imaginable. 

10. Walking Slowly

Especially in crowded places, when people walk slowly and there are clearly people behind them trying to get around, and it should be even more illegal if they are walking in the middle of the hallway or road and leave no room to get around them. 

11. “We Need to Talk”

My heart drops when I see this text. You either want to make plans or are telling me someone died, and it’s patronizing. 

12. Separate Texts

When people send what could be one message in three separate messages. Just tell me in the first text so we don’t have to go through this.
