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

[The Hardest R]

People who traverse parking lots by cutting across multiple rows of spaces at speed. As if there weren't enough fucking hazards already...

Also if someone takes up multiple spaces while parking, it should be legal to slash their tires.

On that note, if something you don’t like is being offered to you, just say “no thank you.”

On that note, if you say "no thank you" and they get offended and insist.

People who will complain about things and the at the same time enable the same things they complain about.
For example: I know people who's neighborhood is being routinely replaced with endless Indians. They complain endlessly about the Indians and how they shit up the neighborhood, yet when it comes to election time, they always vote for the most pro-immigration parties.
Second example: people who know XYZ food gives them digestive issues and always complain about how they have reflux/constipation/diarrhea/etc. Yet when it comes time to eat, they stuff their face with exactly that food.
Are people just unable to understand cause and effect?

At the risk of sounding like too much of a hippie it kind of annoys me that the majority of people seem to see the world as nothing more than a series of resources to exploit or destroy for personal gain.

Just because you can't fuck or eat or sell something for money doesn't mean it's worthless. You can still appreciate a flower or a sunset or whatever just because it's nice to look at.

Poor table manners, in the sense of talking with your mouth full or letting food dry on your face. I would rather watch gore videos while eating than have someone leave half their meal on their face.

For some reason, it irks me when someone uses terms like bitch or slut to refer a woman. Aside from it being rude, I can only image the person being of mentally stunted or having dick in their hand. Especially annoying occasionally since there's regional difference between certain words used to refer a woman in contemporary finnish, I'd guess. Especially word "muija", which is just general word for younger women around where I now live, and where I come from it basically carries connotations of old ugly woman, similar to witch. Granted, I drive my sister in law crazy, since the word I use for women means "lady of the homestead" where she comes from, and they live in a flat so there's that..
tl;dr: finnish vernacular is funny

Poor table manners

Jesus wept my younger brother never learned to chew with his mouth shut. He's in his late twenties. Annoys the fuck out of me, especially when you can hear the noise. My mum does it occasionally uses her fingers to pull out fishbones from her mouth. And while not saint myself (I find my elbows touching the table way too often), I'd rather not see or hear your chewed food.

muija

Unrelated, but that word looks a bit reminiscent of the Latin word mulier, which also means woman but with the connotation of a lower-class woman - contrast with the word femina which implies an upper-class woman. I doubt that there's any actual etymological relation, though.

Apparently it comes from mója, meaning wife, word itself was originally written closer to swedish pronounciation - which itself seems to come from russian моя, "mine".

Wasting food.

There are many occasions where food is thrown away and it could have been avoided. All of them piss me off immensely, from farmers letting extra crops rot to people being too precious to just have one other single bite of food or just ask to take it home from the restaurant.

Double dipping will always make me gag.

Thread tax: It's on me, but when I hang out my laundry to dry, and it rains unexpectedly. It was sunny earlier

 

[The Last Stand]

When people say "I know my rights," when they, in fact, DON'T. How about the right to remain silent?

Also people going the wrong way. I was 3/4 of the way to the end of a one way aisle and someone tries to turn in and just sits there about half way in. There's a giant arrow on the ground, all the cars are facing the other way. I have no idea what the fuck they were doing. My one regret was not continuing forward to 3/4" from their car instead of just sitting there 15 feet away wondering what the fuck they were doing until they backed out.

Or those that claim to know the Constitution. "I HAVE FREE SPEECH!" Okay then, then how come your ass gets banned/restricted on social media? Because social media, like your little Redditard safe space, is NOT the government. The entire first amendment protects civilians from government retaliation over free speech, not from some fat neckbeard moderator who's going on a power-tripping crusade deleting your comments and banning you.

 

[Yours Truly 2095]

People are so obsessed with AI and supercomputers, but the Jetsons had it right. All people want is something that does the dishes and laundry for them. The dream of an efficient automated home has been left behind. Those newer mower Roomba things are neat I guess. I know AI will probably improve automation in homes but the likelihood of your data being sent back to the model to "train" it is high.

I fucking hate teenagers. This isn't even an age thing; it's with how reckless, inconsiderate, messy and arrogant they are.

Totally fat autistic shit dump.

I hate that people keep sending me the wrong mail. USPS tells me to write "not at this address" on them and put them in the mailbox, but I still get them sent back.

Make sure to black out the barcodes, both the easily visible ones and any printed in near invisible ink. Also black out at least part of the address if it still comes back.

I recently had to deal with this. Blacking out the barcodes didn't work, so I had to take a white mailing label, cut it in strips, and use it to cover up the blacked out bar code.

Thread tax: Going to the dentist, being told everything is fine, only to have part of a filling come off at home later the same day.

I fucking hate teenagers. This isn't even an age thing; it's with how reckless, inconsiderate, messy and arrogant they are.

Teachers and the adults of the general public used to be allowed to humble them. But that hurts their feelings so we don't do that anymore. Now they're more prickly and suicidal than teens have ever been.
I know olds and youngs have always fought with each other, but this time feels different.
