"Open door policies in families. My in-laws just walk in whenever they want and I hate it."
"Taking pics of strangers"
"When people come to your door and knock or ring the bell and then peer in the window."
"The various poses from Instagram models. It's so cringy it actually creeps me out. Especially when their eyes are slightly squinted and their mouth is half open like it's some sort of seductive sexy thing but it's just way off."
"When people talk with food in their mouth, just chew and talk after, you can barely understand them."
"Getting a phone call from an unknown number"
"My dad used to walk with his fingers around the back of my neck when we were in public. He could bever understand why I squirmed away from that and batted his hand away. It just felt like a power thing, it made me feel small and vulnerable. I see it occasionally in public with guys and their girlfriends and dads with their kids and I always get goosebumps from remembering what that feels like."
"Instagram accounts with nothing but selfies. Hundreds and hundreds of selfies.... It totally creeps me out."
"The constant fake happiness at work…"
"Dark water... the ocean; a river; lake; even a swimming pool - if I can't see through the water, it's terrifying!"

"The apparent competition to appear to be the busiest person with the most stuff crammed in."
"People who knock on my door."
"There's this sales technique called "mirroring" where the sales person mimics the body language of the customer to gain rapport. I think a lot of people also do it subconsciously to some extent. Anyway this really creeps me out."
""Live Photos" on iPhones. I'm looking at someone's photos on their iPhone and these things move for a split second and it creeps me out. I know I'm a fuddy duddy but I really like photos to not move."

After living with a cat for 17 years I can absolutely agree with this, have a cat that was calmly sitting on your lap suddenly whip it's head around and stare at the corner behind you is very unsettling..

It's not to make you enjoy your job, it's to make you feel bad about not showing up and to make you feel obligated spend your personal time for the company. If you feel like it's a family you might do more than if they just act like it's a business.
People who think it’s okay for kids to choose their gender. Especially people that think it’s okay to give kids hormone blockers.
Those people are evil.
Yeah, I also hate people who let their kids decide they're going to be astronauts or deep sea divers or scientists race car drivers. Those are highly dangerous professions and their kids could be killed. I agree with you about the hormones, except I just call it grossly stupid and not evil. Evil is when you try to turn half the members of a functioning society against the other half, while completely destroying democracy in the process.
Except that becoming an astronaut, diver, racer is a possibility, and choosing your gender an exercise in futility.
Perhaps pursuing the unattainable underlies the 82% of transgenders contemplating suicide, and 40% attempting it.
I agree with that last sentence. But enough about the Democrats.
