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

[PFM]

Whatever happened to government PSA's that at least intended to help its population? Why doesn't the local government pay for ad time on those huge electronic billboards off the freeways on the importance of zipper merging, the existence of the fast lane, the right lane being used exclusively for merging on and off the freeway etc... They truly don't give two shits about us bug people.

I know X, formerly Twitter, is inherently cancerous, and the "For you" tab doubly so, but in the last month or two something happened to the algorithm, or at least my algorithm, that makes it show me every fucking shill for everything that I hate, or even things that I absolutely don't care about.

On the one hand are the Trannies and pro-trannies complaining about TERFs, feminists complaining about men and the Patriarchy, pro-Israel and pro-Palestine spergs in equal measures. But I can understand that to an extent. They're the political themes of the era and they strong-arm their way into everything, ok.
On the other, which is harder to understand, every time there's some controversy about an upcoming game or movie or show, I GET ALL THE SHILLS FOR IT, all the defenders, dedicated fan accounts, etc. Assassin's Creed, Horizon, Stars War, I've been even getting FUCKING ZACH SNYDER DEFENDERS.

What the fuck, Twixxer? No matter how much I click "Don't show me the fucking shit", it keeps serving it to me.

WHY THE FUCK AM I GETTING FLAT-EARTHERS NOW JESUS CHRIST

Where it's legally required, the PSA gets to you via cops in the form of a hefty ticket.

Hopping on the “people are getting more retarded day by day” wagon. Christ it’s gotten bad.

Out last Friday around 2:00 am. Guy asks me why the nearby bus hasn’t arrived. I tell him the bus lines stop running around 1:30 am and will resume service around 5:00 am.

Guy stares at me, literally slack jawed and finally says “bro, I don’t get what you’re saying here.”

I don’t know how much more clear it could have been. This retard isn’t an isolated example either. If you don’t illustrate your point through Dr. Seuss drawings and See Spot Run syntax you’ll fry the brain of the average ‘murican anymore.

I'd like to think it's just a side-effect of peoples' over-reliance on smartphones, but I've noticed in the past few years how people have become slower, dumber, more accident-prone, and lacking spacial awareness. On a daily basis when I walk on a sidewalk, people keep running into me because they keep walking with their heads tilting in a different direction than they're walking, and veering into my lane. No one seems to have peripheral vision, so I could be mere inches from someone and they would still walk into me anyway. People will randomly stop in the middle of doorways for stores and just stand there in confusion, or if I'm walking behind someone in a corridor or staircase, they randomly come to a full stop and cause me to bump into them, despite knowing I'm right behind them. People also seem to be confused by simple technology like door handles, elevator buttons, or self-checkouts; they just stand there and stare, then slowly push buttons like a confused child.

Was recently reminded of a gripe from my childhood. Ever since Skype had hit the eastern block, one of the banes of my existence was always heralded by the phrase "come say hello to your cousin/uncle/whatever". What this "saying hello" actually meant was sitting infront of a webcam for what felt like centuries, saying one memorised line like it was a primary school presentation, wearing a fake smile, and looking at someone I've never seen before in my life yelling back and forth over the speakers in whatever Balkan language I don't know the first word of. It had the feeling of being an item up for auction, having to sit and display yourself while others talk about you directly in front of you and you can't do anything about it.

I understand this is a very niche complaint, but it was such utter bullshit to have to sit through.

I hate how some door handles don't clarify whether you're supposed to PULL or PUSH.

White ladies with tiny tattoos that "mean something." It's usually a phrase or some eastern street-shitter or ching-chong symbol with no more literary weight than a Tumblr post.

Also, people who don't use the Oxford comma... it's not that fucking hard and it makes your sentences easier to read (you foreign faggots).

Around here they don't give out tickets.

 

[Sniperwoof]

The majority of people are incredibly snarky and I fucking hate it.

Reddit discourse and Marvel movies have ruined humanity.

 

[Jarl Varg]

I'm tired of hearing "Ju speaka spanish?" at work. At least they walk away when I say no, even though I can.

 

[Mysterious Figure]

I hate my dead end job, and the idiots managers that try to tell me how much of an opportunity it is to be there.

I also hate how most of the people I liked at this job either quit or got fired. Feels very sad and lonely.

 

[UnsufficentBoobage]

How there are people on here now inquiring if a long-established asshole woman is reeeeeeeally, definitely, "you checked under the hood" not a troon.
I am legit sure that feminist backed troons to be able to redirect like this (also see classic radfems like Solanas postulating that unfeminist woman is "actually a man").

Self driving car is not a justification to cease control of a vehicle. What if the self driving does not work?

 

[Rick The Stick]

Why are there so many literal retards who dont understand that its "could/would/should/must HAVE"? So many people, even on the farms despite how enlightened we all pretend we are, think its "of"? No, you dumb fucking bitch. That doesnt even make sense. Are you so unironically stupid you hear "could've" and think its "could of"? I can maybe give a pass to ESL niggers, but you lot don't matter anyway so whatever.

But if English is your native language, you have zero excuse. Fucking figure it out. Retard.

I say no, even though I can.

Unfathomably based.

How online harassment is used as a justification for bad behavior. The amount of times someone has given the worst take in the universe just for them to screenshot a comment that was slightly rude and then whine on Twitter until people start sucking their cock is way too high. I'm sure it sucks getting legitimate harassment, but it is obvious that most of the time the person who is getting "harassed" either cares way too much and are just getting mild hate comments or knows they hate they are getting is minimal and is only doing it to paint the people who disagree with them as monsters so people start taking their awful take seriously or to minimize embarrassment. It especially sucks when the person who is claiming harassment genuinely did something wrong and people are empathizing with them because they don't know better cough cough Keffals cough cough.

The greatest trick the trolls ever played was convincing people that the fish they catch are the actual trolls.

pool is still chilly

There's still slowly inching in with "rising ring of ice sensation" BS (like June 12, 1988 Calvin & Hobbes).

(seems the overnight low determines pool temp)

 

[Kiwi Sneed Snake]

People who call computer programs apps. Apps in general why do I need to install some shit just to look/check something that i could have just used google for 5 years ago!!!

 

[Bunny Tracks]

How so many people nowadays think that if you don't like something it must be because you have some kind of moral problem with it instead of just not liking it for other reasons.
