Vehicles with more than a reasonable amount of bumper stickers. They're inevitably all highly political, too.
We call those the Rolling Opinionmobiles. I just finally put unit patches on my back window, five years later. That's the extent of my stickers.

I have a parking permit sticker from the apartment I no longer live in, and a Team Mystic logo. That's all.
I do want to get a "Vote Cthulhu" sticker or something similar one day, but I'm in no hurry.

Remember! If your best chance of getting people to listen to your politics is to have a captive audience at a stoplight, you might not be worth listening to!
...I don't actually have any stickers. I have a window decal from college, but I've gone nearly seven years now without remembering to put it up.

Damn it. Now I have no choice but do an 180° and be fully pro-stickers festooning a car.
F*ck Daniel Tosh.

Because why vote for the lesser evil?

I honestly don't get the joke. Like, it's bad to have stickers on your car because people think you can't spend more on professional decals or something?
I think it's cause you rarely see a Benz, Ferrari, Limo, Tesla or the like covered with stickers.
I was merely reminded of the joke. By my other comment I was clearly not necessarily agreeing.
Then again, I am poor, so he may be right.

YouTube "are you still watching" questions suck. Big time.
Is it earthshaking? Monumental? No. But it is daggum annoying.
Look, YouTube, I don't want to have to stop every little house chore I'm doing to walk all the way over to the daggum computer to answer your daggum question. Yes. I'm still watching. Unless I can't actually touch stuff, and the computer is left sitting there while I'm covered in soap or cleaning fluid or whatever, in which case YES, I'M STILL DAGGUM WATCHING.

Okay, so, like... this is the internet, right?
I mean, this is a song, right?
And fan art exists (entirely sfw link to a search for "fanart" - I promise nothing about the links that search leads to, however, as I've looked at none), yeah?
And, I mean, there's rule 3- uh, trends that have been noted about the internet by certain segments thereof.
But... if all that's true... why is it so daggum hard to find fanart of Shamira? Heck, Nocticula, for that matter? Desna? Calistria? Sarenrae? Best girl Shelyn? And, let's not beat around the bush: given the... popularity of certain concepts on the internet, Erastil should, by all rights, be beefcake central (which isn't what I'm looking for, but would at least provide me with conceptual fan art to use).
(I have a similar problem with a lack of heroic drow, lack of Firefly OCs with decent art, lack of the WW cast including side characters ~15-20 years later, lack of maps of Europe without Italy, lack of Forgotten Realms' Sharess, and other such exceedingly and eccentrically specific things that I want for my particular games but lack the artistic skills to make happen, but I'm ignoring those in favor of this particular complaint, at present. Quiet, you. Also, Mikaze totally found one of Lymneris, so I'm not counting that one, even though I haven't seen anymore. Also, there is basically never, ever enough Starfinder artwork, ever.)
I mean, come on. These are, like, perfect OTP/fanart fodder. I just want some pictures for my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
Internet. Iiiiiiiiiiiiiinternet. You've failed me.
Sigh.
Gals include Calistria (explicit), Desna (repeatedly depicted), Gozreh (well... she's made of water, so...), Iomedae (about as sexy as Abadar, including the armor/lack of style), Lamashtu (not really at all), Pharasma (similar to Abadar, Cayden, and Iomedae), Sarenrae (she would qualify), Shelyn (she would definitely counts), Urgathoa (qualifies even as it's horrible). Of the guys, that's one that should be sexier, and two-to-four that could be expected to have sexy fan art; of the gals that's three that should be, and two more that could be. I'm not making any particular point besides this. Though losing Aroden definitely hurt the "potential hot guys" quotient, and others can fill in some of those gaps.

If it's anything like Pandora, that's intentional. They want you to pay for their premium service.

Something else that annoys me to no freaking end...
When you apply for a job, and they ask for your resume, and they still want you to fill out an application. Just look at the resume that you asked for.
If you know how to read a bloody resume, then wait until I'm actually hired to make me fill out 20 pages of freaking paperwork that is your application.

There's an app to keep that from happening for the Chrome Browser.

You don't need to data entry to have someone look over it. Actual data entry is only required for someone who is hired, not to give an interview.
Every good job I've ever gotten was resume submission only, with application filled after the interview stage. Every piece of garbage minimum wage job seems to want you to jump through seventeen flaming hoops before they even talk to you.

EDIT: I mean, it won't help when I'm using my phone, but I'll take what I can get!

From what I understand, they do it even for YouTube Red users, too, as well as users of their Live service.
The point is to gather information about whether or not you are paying attention/are present and whether or not their data/advertisements are getting to your actual eyes (as well as tracking any "excess" weight on their servers that "doesn't need to be there" and - at least hypothetically - as a "nice" thing to do for those who use phones who might accidentally be burning up their data by starting a playlist and forgetting it somewhere or something... look, I don't know, these last two are clearly excuses and are rather weak ones, at best, and the last is especially unlikely).
Basically, they want data on how their users use their stuff, and don't want users to "needlessly" watch/view/listen to their things (and its useful data to give would-be advertisers, too, in theory - "look, we can guarantee that people are paying attention to your ads; see?") but it's obnoxious and I'm seriously thinking of turning to other sources of entertainment (and have been actively doing so). They are, in effect, losing advertisement revenue and getting incorrect and worthless feedback from me and those like by their obnoxious behavior in attempting to collect information and feedback.

Re: Youtube and are-you-still-watchings: I use Brave for my mobile YouTubing needs, which blocks such annoying and non-useful trackers by default. Along with adds and everything else I don't care about. I've no bandwidth to waste loading adds and data harvesting . . . data harvesters.

TVs in waiting rooms. That seem always to be set to home shows with the worst humans on Earth. Loud.
Why?
“Here. While you’re waiting for a painful procedure or possibly terminal diagnosis, listen to this person complain that they want space for their Hummel figurines while their partner wants a pool table and they can’t have both and still get a 1700s Colonial with all-new fixtures in a cute neighborhood walking distance from both their job and an artisanal Mason jar store.”

It was a joke, unless it turns out to be true. Which happens rather too often for my liking (see a different thread: Making Bacon Without Pants).
