I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places
people who go outside with zero spatial awareness. if youre going to walk slow, stay to the side. if you go up to get a closer view and take a pic, gtfo once ur done so others can get closer
And drivers who speed out of their driveway
You think I have that much time in my life to list all of them!?
The one that pops into my head immediately is:
There is a special place in hell for people who don’t hug the curb when yielding to traffic before making a right hand turn. Instead they take up the half the through lane and half the turning lane, meaning that the person behind them can’t pull forward.
The jackass in the mcfatnolds oversized gasoline powered truck acting like his steering radius is somehow larger than a semi by refusing to rotate his steering wheel more than halfway
Goddamn. LED. Headlights. Also the way different manufacturers have these tacky headlight setups to somehow set then apart from others so not only are they as bright as the fucking sun, they have way more diodes than is ever necessary.
There is a confluence of problems here. LED headlights are stupidly bright, but if they’re aimed correctly and the headlights aren’t too high up, they’re not as big an issue generally.
But the arrival of LED headlights coincided with cars getting tall as fuck. There are pickup trucks whose headlights are nearly as high up as my head. Which just compounds the problem, because even if those lights are aimed mostly correctly, they’re still gonna blind people.
It’s infuriating.
omg it’s the worst. When I’m not in a great mood, I flash my brights at said tall-ass pickup trucks. Probably gonna get shot one day.
When people block aisles at the grocery store and you say “excuse me”, but they act like they don’t hear you and don’t move. It’s literally just you and them in the aisle, they don’t need to have their cart in the middle of the aisle while they stand next to it. There’s enough room for 2 people and their carts to fit in an aisle.
I have moved carts before, with their owners right there. Usually they apologize, so maybe people are just not aware of their surroundings, or maybe I’m a 6’3” big guy with a pissed off look on his face. Could be either
One time I was working my way down the bread/dairy aisle at a grocery store. It’s one of the wider aisles there, if 2 people pulled their carts off to the side, a third person could squeeze down the middle as long as those first two took a little care to not stick out into the aisle too much
Of course they never do
So there I am coming down the middle of the aisle, trying to squeeze between some idiot agonizing over which container of sour cream they should buy, and some moron who can’t decide on a loaf of bread who are stopped directly across from each other, uttering plenty of “'scuze me/pardon me/lemme just squeeze through heres” and of course neither of them move an inch
I nearly make it, but do tap one of their carts a bit in the process
I give her a quick “sorry” and continue on my way.
Then she yells down after me with a very indignant “excuse you”
Lady, you were the one blocking the aisle without any situational awareness, and I already apologized, fucking die mad about it.
Up here during COVID, a lot of grocery stores implemented arrows and traffic directions in their aisles so that no one aisle was two way. They basically became one way streets.
I desperately hoped that they would keep that, but nope. Quickly returned to the old jack-assery.
See you get it. And this seems to becoming more and more frequent of late.
I remember that thing I hate: Ice cream melting faster than your consumption speed. Aaaaarrrrrrrgghhhh I hate it!
Sounds like you need an ice cream eating partner.
I volunteer as tribute
I like your solution. I accept
Mercedes & BMW drivers
Cars. They ruin cities.
True true. Cars are outdated, fast reliable frequent 24/7 public transport is the future. Also not random
People who subscribe to the whole male power struggle culture. Not just in a political sense; people will say things about respect or posturing etc. and it physically disgusts me to be reminded that people live like that.

Coming out of left field, I’ll have to go with the number 22. Absolutely hate that number to death. Used to show up all the time when I was growing up, so I’ve learned to be a 22 hater. I’ll go to war with that number and nuke it to death before admitting it’s a good number.
Bowling.
More like bow-ring! Get it, boring, hahaha, ha… I’ll get my coat.
People who use their turn signal AS THEY’RE TURNING. You asshole! You’re supposed to do it a bit before you turn to let people know your intent. There’s no point in signaling as you’re turning because I CAN SEE YOU TURNING! Fuck!
And usually all the cars around them had to wait six years because they weren’t aware of the upcoming turn (busy intersections).
So generally I use turn signals correctly. But there are a few times I don’t for particular reasons.
If I am sitting at the rightmost lane at a busy intersection and intend to turn right, I honestly tend to not turn on my right turn signal. The ambiguity of whether or not I’m turning or going straight helps keep assholes behind me from honking at me. I’ve found that an unfortunately large amount of people get impatient when someone in front of them is turning right on red onto a busy road. They honk and act like assholes because they want you to dangerously jump into traffic and not wait for a clearing so they can go sooner.
I know I could turn on my turn signal and just let an an asshole lay on their horn, but honestly I really truly prefer to avoid that.
Happens all the time yeah.
- TikTok.
- Short form videos.
- Tutorials in a 10 minute video format. Just give me a list of instructions I can skim to find the thing I’m looking for.
- Influencers and “content creators”. Please get cancer and die.
- YouTube after 2011 or so
- Monetization of platforms
- The way software development evolved from a highly praised skill to being regarded as nothing more than a fleshbased code printer for creating more shareholder value
- How the art scene is now mostly relying on social media exposure and followers
- so, Actually most of the modern internet.
- The lie that you can become rich and succesful by working hard and putting in the hours
I can go on for quite a while. Millenial disillusionment is real.
Can I just copy and paste this as my answer?
You’re talking about Gen Z trends.
Millennials are pretty well aware that they are fucked unless they were born lucky, we’re all just wallowing silently in our depression while wishing we could afford a house.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO CARE WHAT THE FUCK IM WEARING!
It’s more that you’re not wearing anything…
Ice in drinks, because I hate straws so I almost exclusively drink from the side of the glass. Ice slams into my teeth and makes me rage. What a first world problem lol
Ice…slams into your teeth?
Just pucker your lips a bit and use the top one to block the ice. I’m trying to think through how I drink from a glass of ice water or iced coffee and I’m relatively confident that’s how I do it…
Okay I tried it out. My upper lip blocks the ice. Sometimes if I open my mouth more a cube will tap my teeth, but only gently because it was already held by the lip until then. The only way I could get ice to slam into my teeth was to like, hold my lip up in a sneer and just let the ice hit my teeth. But my instinctual ice-water-drinking method is to block ice with lip.
Give it a try! Might change your life, cold ice water is fucking awesome.
I think I might have a weird shaped mouth haha. To be honest I usually find ice cold drinks to also be too cold overall and painful on my throat. I drink any fluid like someone who just walked a day in a desert with no water…
Actually, you know what I do like ice in? My hot drinks! I put a few cubes per cup of hot coffee or tea so I can drink it NOW, not in 20 minutes when it’s safe consumption temperature but I’ll have forgotten where the hell I put the mug
Fair enough, lol. I got a good chuckle out of the image of downing any drink by just dumping the whole thing straight down your throat. 😂
I can literally do that lmao. Feels awesome when you’re extremely dehydrated. Probably not good for you though
I can gulp like a champ, but I’ve got nothing on this
Yeeeeeees. Why would anyone ever want ice in their drinks?
- You get less of the drink you paid for
- It ends up watered down.
- Cold = less flavour
- It’s too fucking cold
And yet they look at me as if I’m the weird one for stating no ice. And apparently I’m being difficult when they still give me a drink with bloody ice
All valid points, but if I may, for me it’s more like
- I don’t want more drink
- I like it diluted - lasts longer
- Cold = sensory heaven
- It’s never ever cold enough
- Crunchy water snack when you’re done!
corporations use ice to give less of the drink, and shoved it up everyone’s ass with ads everywhere, and now people just accept it without questioning
cough cough frog in a boiling pot cough cough
But the tinkle of ice in a frosty glass though ☺️
I love ice, I finish my drink then I chew the ice until I get brain freeze. It’s epic.
you can have all of mine 💀
Thanks! 🧊🧊🧊
“Hate” is a strong word, but I very much dislike it when a website that I can access on my computer only allows phone users to actually use it, or when certain features of a website are hidden for desktop users but available for phone users, such as Instagram Stories. I just don’t agree with desktop/laptop users being restricted or offered the barebones version of a website considering that the internet has existed long before smartphones were a thing.
The aspect ratio! With some hard work and intensive empathy training I got over the vertical format being default, but when someone uploads a horizontal video to a vertical format site, and then you’re trying to bring it to full screen on your also horizontal monitor… I could headbutt the monitor in.
I counted pixels once. It took up less than 10% of the display area. Just a fucking thick black (EDIT: or non-video regardless) “border” on 90+% of the monitor. And why? Because of one dipshit deciding they will consider horizontal screens nonexistent (while it’s closer to natural, human vision). I can’t even blame the uploader, sometimes they don’t even know this use case isn’t even handled.
I’m with you on the one about Instagram. I’m a hobbyist photographer trying to maintain a decent portfolio and it grinds my gears that in order to publish a collab post for example, I have to do it from the app on my phone.
And vice versa: sites that will render fine on a PC, but refuse to load on mobile and direct you to an app instead, or have fewer features than the full site available.
Or vice versa. Why can’t I access features in the phone version of my banking site, but I can in the desktop version on my phone? Now why, if you have two versions, can I not even access both from my phone or computer?
