    A lot of very important things have already been suggested and I agree with most. I won’t just re-state what others have said, instead I’ll suggest a pet peeve of mine.

    People who say “I love that for you”. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me, it’s always said in such a condescending and disingenuous way by every person I’ve ever heard say it, I just can’t stand hearing it now.

    Willful violations of the Constitution. Right now, elected officials can brazenly disregard the Constitution and the worst that happens is they are told not to do that again in the future, pretty please.

    Production of cigarettes and tobacco.

    As ex smoker who tried to quit so many times during almost two decades - I know how tough this drug can be and that it’s wide acceptance as social norm makes it so much worse.

        Haha. Yep. I was going for subtle. :) I think ads that didn’t mislead wouldn’t be so bad. I do want to know about interesting new products… I just want to be able to trust the info. And choose when I see them.

          Yeah, the choosing when to see them is the most difficult part. I don’t see that happening in the near future.

        The people using speaker on transit, or blasting external speakers while hiking through otherwise perfectly good woods… are disturbing the peace, sure. So are the college kids two floors up when they’re pre-gaming at 9pm. But the police would not take any of these calls seriously, unless the OP rule/law were in place.

          I’ll defend people playing music through speakers in the woods…. It’s the fucking woods. It’s away from civilization. You’ll be away from them shortly. It’s fiiiiine. It’s not like you’re captive on public transportation.
