You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

[The Last Stand]

'm sick of people who assume liking your job also means you're a corporate cuck or whatnot.

The concept of work has been lost with both the left and right wings of American politics.

The left-wing equates "less work" with not WANTING to work and being handed benefits and positions while bringing absolutely nothing of value. The right-wing believes that working all day and night makes you an effective person without considering inflation or work morale.

What they both fail to understand is through their generalization of work culture, they're enabling corporations to practice the worst of both positions at the expense of their customers and employees. "It's a private business!" Meanwhile, they fire you because you posted something they don't like on social media. "Walmart is RACIST!" Again, they reach diversity quotas against anything else that actually eliminates other candidates out the gate.

A bird got stuck in the building at work and now we can't get it out since we have a high celling with railing. Here's hoping it dies before it can shit all over the place. I tried whacking it with a stick but I couldn't reach.

Related to this; I fucking hate people in the medical/caregiving industry who will act like you're clinically insane for giving a fuck about your patients rather than just being a neglectful sociopath who only does the bare minimum to get a paycheck without getting sued. The mental health industry especially needs to be purged hardcore, because right now the standard is essentially to keep people from getting actual help (or make them worse off) so you can throw as many commissioned prescriptions at them as possible.

Step 1: Dekykify the medical industry.

Do you work in a long-term care behavioral health facility? I did a stint in one earlier this year and it showed me that I'm not a good fit for that clinical setting.

Let me add an addendum to this: 1a. Recognize that corporations that run modern healthcare don't give a fuck about you, so treat your employment interactions with them as purely business deals.

I know so many doctors who hate the way the medical industry has gone these days. They want to spend more time with their patients but they have to spend their time rushing people through and filling out forms instead because of all the regulations and the administration wanting to get as many people in and out as possible, for obvious reasons.

Does anyone remember how the media PUSHED for "healthcare workers working on the front lines" during COVID, only to treat them the same BEFORE COVID? Oh, thanks.

Case in point.

Thread tax: donuts are NOT good leftover from a day. They get stale or the frosting melts.

donuts

I cannot express to you how absolutely furious I get when I get a Boston Creme donut and they just drop it in a bag upside down and then the chocolate frosting on top melts into the bag.

Oh yeah? How about when they place a napkin on top of the donut and the frosting just peels off?

I feel that socks are incredibly easy to lose or wear out. It feels like I'm buying socks monthly.

Basically the same thing.

I feel that socks are incredibly easy to lose or wear out. It feels like I'm buying socks monthly.

Socks are one of those things I always have to buy in a physical store. Every time I bought them online I'd get a worse and worse quality sock (the same item too) then I happened to see similar ones in the store and they were great, not a single one with a hole yet.

That Trannies are given more credibility everyday and that you're not allowed to point out degeneracy for what it is anymore

These people want you Broke, dead and your children raped.

And most people are okay with this

This one friend I have is a self proclaimed "radical leftist", and talking with him is always a gamble. There's an eighty percent chance it'll be a good time, since he's usually a cool person to talk to, but the other twenty percent he will sperg out about the most autistic things. Had to deal with an argument where he said giving birth is a morally questionable action because the baby can't consent to being born. That's something a fucking angsty fourteen year old says.

"I do not consent to being born. I am not being born, I am merely traveling through the uterus. I am a sovereign baby citizen"

I feel the same way with many people I know that align "liberal." They make it a point to have their politics shape their moral character, which makes it awkward to discuss current events. That's fine itself, but since I don't know much or pay attention, I'm just inviting myself to be made fun of or have my character brought to question because I dare say the wrong thing.

If anything, I hold those people to a higher standard because they THEMSELVES prop themselves up as morally superior. There's a word for it: smug. That's why I like to keep to myself. I have to tell myself it isn't necessarily exclusive to that particular demographic, BUT many people I know just so happen to align that way.

I've got a co-worker whose life is dull enough that small changes like "I ate out somewhere different than usual (i.e., Burger King instead of McDonalds)" or "I tried watching someone new on TikTok" are events she feels are worth sharing with everybody. She also bases most of her politics on dumb shit from TikTok. I'm working with her every day, so I can't escape from her vapid nonsense. She's a good worker in spite of it all, it's just interacting with her is a chore.

The hypocrisy of people who claim that all mental health struggles are valid and that we need to be understanding of what people are going through. Then they turn around and throw someone to the wolves if they have something like a schizophrenic breakdown because all of a sudden mental illness isn't cute or quirky or heckin relatable anymore.

Try to picture some of those actually working in the mental health care industry and not shit happens to them when formal complaints are filed against them for that shit. Now picture being threatened with various reprimands and worse for submitting evaluations about patients who're trying very poorly to convince everyone around them that they have [mental illness that sounds interesting or deserving of sympathy/gibbs], wasting time and government resources doing it. Shit makes hangovers seem like a vacation.

Why do all the good restaurants close so early, fuck! It's not even [not that late of an hour in my timezone]! I don't want fuckin Wendy's and shit!

That and also when they just have random hours. The amount of times I've gone to a place at a total normal time just to be greeted with a locked door and a sign saying "closed on Mondays" or whatever is infuriating.

I bought a bag of Gushers from the gas station and when I opened them it was obvious they had been melted during transit, leaked juice everywhere, and then resolidified on the shelf. It created a gross, sticky inedible blob.

Those time where someone does something untoward, gets reprimanded or merely have it pointed out, then gets offended that their poor behaviour has been noted. You are not a victim of me telling you that you're too loud. My ears are the real victim here.
