A- Folks that park in handicapped spots w/out having a permit. Laziness is not a handicap!
This is my nephew’s wife huge trigger. That and people (usually workers - UPS, FedEx, cable trucks, etc.) who park and block curb cuts. With a child who is non-ambulatory, she (mom) has a handicapped sticker and only uses it if my grandniece is in the car. She called the involved company wrt trucks blocking curb cuts.

What are you guys calling a “trigger” in this thread? I consider a trigger to an unproportionally emotional response to an action or event - Someone that screams and rants about his steak being over cooked.
I think you guys are just listing things that piss you off. I agree with you, but that is not the same as getting triggered.
Mrs wimsey will bring a laundry basket from second floor to first floor, leave it right at bottom of stairs where you have to step over it. Then get snippy if I haven’t ferried it down to basement within 15 min. of her landing it in the most inconvenient spot imaginable.
She’s not unable to get it to the basement, as objectively evidenced by the fact that she got it from second floor to first. She just doesn’t want to do it. Which…fine, ok, chalk it up to being in a rush or idiosyncrasy or whatever. But don’t bitch me out when I don’t clean up your mess on the timeframe that you’d prefer.
Mrs Wimsey just called and said “Yes but he forgot to add that it was his full of his laundry that he left in the bathroomâ€
Dirty dishes, that can be put in the dishwasher, but are left in the sink. If you’re standing at the sink, the dishwasher is right there, maybe you have turn to your right and bend over slightly to put your dirty dish in the dishwasher.
This, all day long. My wife and kid are the offenders; my dog gets a pass because she doesn’t have opposable thumbs.
Oh just realised it’s you again. Multiple replies to the same person could trigger someone…
My elderly father is a prime example of the above. Even after I’ve unpacked their dishes and left the door ajar so one can see it’s empty.
Personally, I prefer the third option to the second. It may be lazy, but it’s honest.
My wife introduced me to this option and we’ve never gone back. Honestly I’m surprised we don’t see commercially sold vertical roll holders for TP as we do with paper towels. It only makes sense.
Come to think of it, I may install a wall mounted vertical paper towel holder in the bathroom. Holds at least two rolls at once.
But will the roll come of the right side or the left side?
Should depend on what side of the wall it’s on. Left wall>right side. It must come from over the top!

I’m a flawed person but I’m not a laundry slob. Do my own and it’s always in the hamper. Mrs wimsey does get credit for doing the majority of wimsey jr’s laundry though.
I never really understood the purpose of putting some squiggle scrawl on the bill.
Speaking of triggers, I always draw dicks (with a few pubes out of the balls) on the electronic signing blocks. Drives my wife absolutely nuts…she’ll walk out of Home Depot like she doesn’t know me.
A worker from another consultancy we often partner showed me pics of a similar habit, done to trigger his wife.
He gets those spices that have big letters on the front of the jars then rearranges them to make rude words along the front row. He said it helps make her decisive and shop quickly.
The flip side of this question is what I do to avoid triggering others. When driving, I try to avoid using my horn at all costs. That’s a huge trigger for a lot of drivers. About the only time I use the horn is if someone is changing lanes into me because they don’t see me.
I too avoid using the horn. Largely because the 45 yo horn sounds so meek it does not project sufficient anger and would make them laugh.
Responding to some others…
Litter out the car is one level, but more specifically, glowing cigarette butts you see bouncing along the road at night.
On the toilet paper thing again, you never see hotel staff fold the neat triangle on the rear side. So case closed on that one.
My father used to be known as the foil king as he had an obsession of wrapping up freshly cooked dinners if we didn’t appear within seconds of it being plated. If you told him to stop wasting foil he’d get angry and say it’s getting cold. The counter would be that I can’t even taste the food when it’s scolding hot.
