What are some trivial things that annoy you?

In most careers as the sim gets higher up in level it takes increasing amount of time to get the next promotion, AND your time at work gets reduced.

This must have been complained about a dozen times already, but it drives me up the wall when my sim gets called away by another sim. It's annoying when my sim arrives where I need them only to see them zip off somewhere else because they got called over, double annoying when in Jungle Adventure when the camera gets confused where my sim is because they answered a call over immediately after traveling through a gate making them travel back through.
