Silly me, I forgot that tattoos magically render a person incapable of carrying out professional duties.

It's the other way around, the uselessness of the person is what inspires them to pay someone to put indelible evidence of their uselessness on their skin.Silly me, I forgot that tattoos magically render a person incapable of carrying out professional duties.

People who say "please and thank you" after telling you what to do. There is a proper way to use both words and just saying it like that comes off as insincere and lazy.

Something that pisses me off a lot is modern dogs. At this point for every well behaved dog you meet, there will be 10 that make everyone around them's life a living hell because their owners are either such self absorbed losers or such pussies that they let their dog push them and other people around.
In terms of physically disciplining animals it's likely you will only have to do it one time in their entire lifespan, but they need to know you're willing to escalate. As soon as you make it clear you won't tolerate disrespect, it's never a problem again and you've made a good, happy dog. There isn't hurt feelings, if anything they like and want to stick with you more because it's clear you're confident and know what you're doing. Those dogs I do not hate at all, and I've always gotten along well with them.
Obviously people won't do that though, they'd rather get a fucking dog because tee-hee, then let it become a major source of stress and tension with others around them rather than take charge. Considering society is already falling apart because people don't leave their houses and don't talk to their neighbors, some aggressive piece of shit making people hate and avoid each other is the absolute last thing anyone needs.
But no, I need a dog, probably a pitbull mix or some yappy little thing that I do not have physical ability/energy/will to control. That will be what improves my life. And if it doesn't...well, guess it'll just be everyone else's problem!
Dogs have become a representation of everything I despise in modern society, where the view is that discipline and having a spine is equivalent to cruelty.
Even if they're tasteful and well done, there's really no rational purpose for getting art plastered on your body aside from trying trying to make yourself look interesting.

Unless you're part of a tribe or a lower ranking member of some kind of organization, you don't really have any reason to get tattoos.

Sadly it comes with the territory. When a former dentist had to sell his solo practice and join another as an assistant dentist, the new practice's staff claimed I had gum disease when it was doubtful and the main dentist was an absolute asshole who wouldn't take no for an answer. I was glad when my former dentist ultimately switched to a different practice.
A related piss-off is how small, independent dental offices seeming get squeezed out of the market by regional and national dental chains where the turnover of dental staff means you never really get to become familiar/comfortable with particular staff members because they get reassigned elsewhere within the chain or switch jobs to a totally different company.
What pisses me off is when I'm working is when a robocall or telemarketing call ruins my productive groove and then it takes most of the remainder of the day to get it back again.
That said, I'll agree unexpected ads are always a nuisance.
I suppose it depends on what's available locally. I'm lucky to have enjoyable old reruns available late night before I go to bed, but late night TV can be pretty bad or cheesy. As an example, a local station aired dating shows some time ago that were borderline soft-core porn with most of the commercials promoting sketchy-sounding singles/dating phone lines because it was permissible to air those after 11:00 PM local time.

Getting into an already established hobby only when that hobby introduces something that makes it more appealing to the masses and then rejecting everything that came before it. Bonus points if you...
- Insist that it's actually the same as everything that came before it, you just don't like 'minor' change.
- Anyone who is snide or snarky towards you is 'harassing and gatekeeping you'.
- "You're just an old boomer. The future is now old man."
- "Yeah I was always a fan. I just didn't engage with the source material."

Advertisement. I have an autistic and almost allergic reaction to it. Just fuck off and leave me alone. If you advertise to me, I will probably not buy it on purpose.

Indeed it does. Every new computer I touch gets this treatment. Befor I do anything else, I install adblockers. And if possible I install AdNauseum.

If those worked IRL, you'd be onto something. If we drive even a few hundred yards off of the base, we see every single roadside polluted with nonstop adverts. Anything from those ghetto laminated flyers stapled to the wiring poles, those little signs on little wire legs, billboards, plastic banners covering fences, etc etc etc, completely non-fucking-stop ads everywhere no matter what. People are driving cars that are just mobile billboards. I can't pick out some fruit for the week without the packaging and stickers being used to advertise Disney and their capeshit. People are such mindless consoomers that they pay God knows how much money to advertise for a company by just wearing their logos. The "SILENCE, BRAND" meme needs to come back and start being applied IRL by writing it or plastering stickers of it over adverts. Something's gotta give.
My combo of about ten different adblocking extensions can't even spare me from some of the bullshit online, either. Youtube has programmed their popups for their paid subscription garbage so that if I try to block them, they're tied to the same code that will make pretty much everything else on the page get blocked too. Other websites have been doing similar shit, and more are following suit. I have to use a special custom filter that my husband programs in a special extension to block promoted listings from repeating all over any search result page on Etsy. Something like 1/3 or 1/4 of every listing shown on Etsy is in a line of paid ads that ignore your search parameters and just get shoved into your face over and over. I don't just block the paid ad listings like that, but I block the entirety of any cunt of a shop that does it because I refuse to reward that horseshit. It's maddening.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing you or putting any of this on you, I'm just raging about the inescapable dystopia of corporate ad pollution because it pisses me off.

And it can be quite annoying when there's e-begging or attempted BS-ing into disabling adblockers.
The American way of wearing shirts that promote something kind of annoys me - the idea that "shirts should always have a message".
If corporations could find a way to inject ads into dreams like in Futurama, they'd likely do it.

I understand what you're trying to say. I dislike the growing tend of Corporate America treating customers, whether existing or potential, as little more than dollar signs and/or a revenue stream with any sort of personal attention deemphasized or outright ignored. Sadder is how many people are willing to accept this kind of treatment without even batting an eye.
Just as awful are the sites that won't let you view their content if you have an ad blocker only to inundate users without ad blockers with so many ads the page is difficult or impossible to read anyways.

Why is plant based meat or "beyond" meat a food trend? I'd argue that it's more unhealthy than regular meat.
