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

When women use excessive conjunctions to list every thought or emotion in a sentence.

I love doing X because it makes feel happy and scared and excited and nostalgic and pretty and righteous and corny and loved and nervous and strong.

I love having places where I can go to complain or celebrate or gossip or send a meme or go on a rant or speculate about celebrities.

If you can't keep the list to two or three items, don't list them at all; you're already talking too much as it is.

Has anyone else noticed the proliferation of septum rings? It seems like I'm seeing more and more of them now, in almost every non-work interaction. In addition to the ugly-ass nose bridge piercing that people seem to be sporting nowadays.

I saw one out in the wild yesterday with a little dangle on it. It looked like fucking snot hanging out her nose.

Why the fuck do people think this is attractive?

Something extremely specific and highly autistic. There's a certain trend in graphic design that annoys the fuck out of me for some reason. Since it's difficult to explain in words, and all the (many, many) real life examples I could provide might dox me, I've created some examples. While these are not real, they are very much in the spirit of the design trend I hate.
One for a theater production, a social media activism post, one for a small business, another for a wholesome gossip forum, and the last one's real:

It's always the same shit: Minimalist approach with the dominant element being a monoweight block of text with random and completely retarded line breaks that render everything barely readable. This shit has spread like monkey pox over the past 2-3 years, from artsy posters to political campaigns to full-on corporate identities being just this. I hate it.

Oh wow I actually hate it. Nevermind that it actually makes whatever you're reading barely legible.

People in my country not shutting the fuck up about American politics. I don't care about Trump & Musk, I DON'T FUCKING CARE. We're not even American why do you care about Trump leaving the WHO or whatever the fuck is going on???
I swear I'm going to just start walking away when this shit is brought up for the next 4 years.

Same tbh.

Everyone around me going "WW3" and "The world is over" as if fucking Kim Jong Un of America has arrived. Relax, people.

But the news aren't helping, obsessing over every minute detail of the election. Especially since 2016. Meanwhile our own government is crashing and burning internally plus it's election time next year but I guess it's not important.

Sane here. Annoyingly the weather is rather dry too so say hello to cracked lips. Alternatively, if it goes get wet, and it's freezing, you can say hello to a broken wrist or a near heart attack.

More Pinterest Hate: The fact that it still doesn't have a dark mode, and sometimes won't let you remove pins from your boards.

To continually add to the Pinterest hate.... Pinterest itself. I'm sorry I hate using it.

Thread tax: people that cough into the receiver during phone calls. Yeah thanks for almost making me deaf, fuck face

It's fashion adopted by "Millennials", along with those freakshow ear piercings?

Haven't seen much of the latter lately, but I have seen a bit of the former IRL.

Right. In my day (20 or so years ago), you had people that would uglify themselves as a fuck-you to the normies.

Those people sat on the fringe and didn't demand to be seen as normal.

Now, all of these people want to be tourists on the fringe and then demand everyone else applaud it.

I'm sorry, all I'm thinking when I see those rings are either cattle, snot (imagine blowing your nose with that thing, gross) or a slow increase to making this mainstream.

Whatever brilliant observation you have has likely been shared by half the planet's population by now. Let someone else have the spotlight.

More to the point, I don't care what fucking hand gesture he made. Unless you can back that up with a substantial policy decision he is involved with that has strong and provable negative downstream effects, shut up.

Shut up shut up shut up.

Your side looks like overgrown toddlers looking for gotcha and somehow can't grasp why Kamala lost...because even the adults among you can't stand you anymore.

I hate these fucking things. I call them pig rings because they look like the rings they put in a pig's nose.

Just seeing one of these makes me want to whip out a pair of needle nose pliers and just jerk it as hard as I can to rip it out. It would certainly seem to be a huge disadvantage if someone was annoyed by you enough (and anyone who has these pig rings is annoying as fuck) to want to fuck you up.

I preferred it when they actually enjoyed just the literal "shocking the squares" aspect of it.

When it became completely insufferable is when they deliberately attract negative attention and then act like they're victims of what they did on purpose.

It's always been that way, at least it has been since I was a teenager.

You had edgy teenage girls who would put on the air of being "witches" or "pagans" (or you get the odd "vampire" in there), just begging for someone to come along and "oppress" them.

These morons have always been spoiling for a fight, and then act like the power imbalance they created is somehow excuses for them to get mad when you call them out on their bullshit.

I remember back in the day, there was a website (defunct now that the owner is dead; ironic for reasons you'll see momentarily) that I followed for a good laugh every so often.

Behold...Sanguinarius!

It was really just this person. Which makes this even more funny that she claimed to be a "real vampire".

The section I found the most funny at the time, which doesn't seem to be on the last version of the site was called "Problems vampires have", and it was a hoot reading a bunch of evident teenagers whining how everyone just "couldn't see" that they were vampires, and how dare anyone make them go to class when the sun was up! Oh, the persecution! Oh, the torture!

There were just too many serious sounding posts on there; I don't think Poe's law was as strong as it is now.

Another odd note in light of current "fat activism" is that this person advocated for lying to or withholding information from your doctor. I totally get the mistrust people have in the medical profession with Big Pharma looming over all, but there's a continent's worth of difference between a healthy mistrust of pharmaceuticals and lying to your doctor because your lifestyle is fucking insane and you're in denial about it.

I think they're great. Like a frog with bright colours, septum piercings are a signal to avoid avoid avoid.
