Great thread.

I'm forever sitting at a dining table eating with loud eaters (remember my old co-worker?).

As a fan of horror, mob and other sorts of violent and profanity-laden films, I get to watch all of them I want...but cut down to run on broadcast TV where I have to deal with regular commercial breaks and the movies are edited to hell.

I live it every Sunday as a Browns fan. 

Mine would be reading social media after the Steelers beat the Bengals 

Mine would be constantly driving behind someone with an "In Memory Of" sticker on their back window.  

Less of a minor inconvenience, but more of an annoyance. 

^^ mine would be mostly driving related too.

Getting stuck behind people driving/walking too slow, utilizing all roundabouts as a four-way stop, etc.

Good point. Being a Jets fan is my hell.

Definitely all of these. Also someone is riding my ass in traffic, but not super aggressively, they're just right in that spot where you start to get annoyed.

My real life one would be I’m stuck in an airport, walking with purpose wherever I need to go, and people just constantly stop in the middle of the terminal. 

Every day in MIH (minor inconvenience hell) your neighbor is having a tree cut down and all day all you hear is chainsaws and woodchippers running. The next day the tree grew back and it’s being cut down again.

And they happen to start doing the work roughly 45 minutes before you plan to wake up.

and they leave their dog outside to endlessly bark

Your roommate in hell is a person who interrupts every conversation by bringing the discussion back to himself/herself and segues into a story from his or her life that is bigger and better than the original teller’s.

Example:

PERSON A: I just attended a lecture by Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, and he….

ROOMMATE IN HELL: (Interrupting) I just saw Air, that movie about how Nike signed Jordan. I actually met Jordan once at a golf outing at Pebble Beach.  Fucking beautiful course.  I only played it because my company picked up my greens fee so I could network…

You get the drift. 

Stuck at select/travel baseball or softball tournament for 8u or 10u kids and sitting amongst all of their parents

Tiernan is unbanned. I was actually thinking about his bullshit the other day.

Tiernan: I was at the OSU national championship game

Us: prove it. Post pics.

Him: no why should I. I didn’t take any. My phone was dead. I don’t have to prove anything to you guys. 

I'm at a trade show that's a neverending circle jerk.

Isn't that the norm?

Yes and it’s awful.

I’m attending one next week.  Would rather stick needles in my eyes.

I’m in the process of interviewing and I’m contemplating giving a hard no to trade shows. Not sure if that will hurt me or not, but I’m willing to role the dice. 

I’ve done my time.

That’s not minor inconvenience that’s actual torture.

If it’s really on this category then you win the thread.

I'm at a party I didn't really want to go to, and I'm stuck making small talk with a bunch of people I don't really know. Every night is a new party with new people, but it's the same conversation over and over again.

More a crime against humanity than a minor inconvenience, my man!

So True! I misunderstood the topic and mistakenly personalized it.
