It annoys me when my Sim, now a 5-star celebrity, is constantly getting calls from his agent to eat at the bistro. He's gotten it like 20 times already.  That and when he threw a bachelor party, and the only one to show up, was the party dancer.

I keep getting "Go work out at the gym". She never eats, so there's no need.
And, 5 star cenebrity phone calls! Try being romantic when your phone rings from another suitor. Annoying!

I hate it when at Weddings and Birthday Parties these random Sims run up to your Celebrity and ask them for their Autograph, cancelling out the action to watch or cheer the Sim/s that are growing up/getting married! They could at least add the action to Watch or something to events to counter that though.

It really irks me when I spend a good fifteen minutes picking out prom dresses and suits for my sims, and they just go in their everyday wear. >:(

Well, there's this one glitch I get all the time when my sims get a random amount of money. Like, a ton of money. Last time was around $20k (middle of the night, so it couldn't have been an opportunity or anything).
But then 2 days ago it did the same thing, except it SUBTRACTED the money! It took away almost $6k!

I've got some more.
When sims watch TV or do use a computer in some one else's room, or when they sleep in beds that aren't theirs.
And also when sims read bedtime stories to kids in the wrong beds.

I or someone else might have already said this, but those sprinklers are terrible. They are so incredibly addicted to them. It makes gardening a lot more frustrating.

Are how about when you make a sim use their cell phone to call for services they walk away from where their standing to dial the same people again. ;D
We are of peace, always but this is war.
We are of peace, always.
We'll help build a resistance. We have to fight.

When all you've ever loved has been stolen from you, sometimes all you have left is revenge.
For the truly wronged, satisfaction can be found in one of two places,  absolute forgiveness or mortal vindication. This is not a story about forgiveness. When deception cuts this deep, someone has to pay.

Another thing that annoys me is that when in CAS certain hair and clothes with go through each other and be glitchy, like the collared dress for Hidden Springs.

Why do they need to walk at all to use their phone?

What annoys me is that when I tell my sim to feed the toddler on the floor, they carry them around the house and finally put them on the ground, when they could have just fed them where they were.

That even when the sound is comfortable in all other parts of the game, the computer game is painfully loud. I want them to have computers for writing, chatting and playing chess but don't allow them to play computer games any more, they have to go and entertain themselves with something else Tv, Dart board or anything that isn't that loud.
 
I usually don't have that much free will on, but now that I played the tournaments I discovered new things that annoys me.
If your toddler is bored, hungry and need to go potty. Putting him/her in the crib isn't going to help at all!
Also when your exhausted toddler finally is asleep please don't go and pick them up because you want to snuggle.
If you are hungry, cooking a nice meal only to leave it and go and read, watch Tv and such isn't going to work that well either!

That's a technical space issue.  There's not enough empty space on the floor where they're standing.  Items like cribs and doors actually have a larger footprint than just the item self itself.  It creates room for the Sim to use the particular object.  Well, that space can't be used for bottle feeding because it's crib space or door space or whatever.  So they go to where there's enough available space.  :D

I think these things are related to the needs bars.  The bar has to reach a certain low point before the Sim will act autonomously on it.  Your Sim may have plenty of room for a meal, but unless he/she is actually in the yellow on the hunger bar, he/she won't eat the meal unless directed to do so.  With the toddler, unless his potty bar is in the yellow, the adult Sim won't recognize that he needs to use the potty and will put him in the crib for no apparent reason.

Of course, none of this keeps it from being annoying.

This is exactly why I'm done with families. Okay, I only play CAS toddlers I made myself, for the purposes of Imaginary friends, but that's it. I'm really annoyed with the toddler getting picked up all the time in Sims. I would actually appreciate it (I think I said this before), if the baby and  toddler could get some sort of moodlet "PUT ME DOWN!" -10 and -20 for the grumpy tots, and the parent would let them explore. The carrying toddlers constantly, is annoying. I mean I'm past irritated with the way the adults handle the nooboos in the game, I'm curious as to how the nooboos feel themselves. I think the first time they're picked up after the next patch update, is when they're finally going to SNAP!  :D

It annoys me when my Sim is sitting at the computer and I want them to cure themselves with the moodlet manager and they wave their arms about pantomiming 'I can't do that because I'm sitting down!'

I also hate it when I have a full house of kids and teens and it takes them a while to all get onto the school bus, and then I get 'X skipped school on a field trip day!' messages.  No, they didn't, they just had to wait forty minutes to get onto the wretched bus!
