What is something that bothers you a little, but doesn't necessarily offend?

In other words, I’m not talking about a derogatory term or a strong insult, but maybe just a phrase, word, or action that is “borderline” offensive or a little offensive or just irks you.
Here’s one that irks me: the term “gay lifestyle”. It’s NEVER used positively. It’s always portrayed as something to avoid because it’s full of promiscuous sex and AIDS. And I’m talking about gay people saying this as well.
Whereas I don’t think I’ve ever heard the term “straight lifestyle” and if it existed, it would probably be used more positively and would refer to suburban houses, families, and kids.
Just something I’ve thought about.
