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

This seems to be a condition mostly affecting the elderly, but bringing up Trump out of nowhere. You could just be talking about your weekend and BAM, some grey topped old fart starts whinging about the latest nothingburger where some irrelevant has-been said god knows what about trump. I DON'T CARE. Your life may revolve around him but mine doesn't. We don't even live on the same continent as the guy, who gives a shit?

People who has that prick live rent-free in their heads are just as insufferable that they got to turn everything Trump-related. Time will move faster and it'll just be a big blotch just like the first term where you barely remember those four years. It sucks to not remember some periods of your life because of some things, but it'll suck even more because you've spent sacrificing all of your free time and life glued to just another sack of shit politician. It'll only last longer the more you pay attention to every teeny second detail about whatever the hell he's doing today and tomorrow.

I like to think the Bush years gave some of us immunity to Trump.

Revisionist history says he's a harmless goof who said "food on your family" or whatever; in reality, he squeaked into office and then immediately told half the country to go fuck themselves. By '02 he could do whatever he wanted.

Oh yeah, 9/11 was honestly the best thing to have ever happened for his career as a president. If it hadn't happened, he would've been a one-term president and we would've forgotten about him sooner than later. But he's ironed now in history as the President of the 2000s and set the country on track towards the inevitable dumpster fire it is currently in.

Everything Trump is doing, I just see as extensive Bush terms but on crack, so George is still somehow elected, but he's definitely lost a lot of marbles since the 2000s.

The fastest way to lose my interest in a song. It's usually some mopey nigger sadly singing, and there's no hidden message or deep meaning.

And it's nothing but a silent track.

I seriously hate when people omit the "I" in sentences where they're the subject; an example is a coworker of mine who constantly emails me things like, "Need you to run [x] script" instead of, "I need you to run [x] script." Who needs me to run it? You? You're asking me to do work and can't even be bothered to specify who's asking me to do it? Something I see constantly on reddit, especially in location-based subreddits, are things like, "Went here once. Chicken sandwich was great." instead of, "I've been here before, their chicken sandwich was great." I think they're trying to give off some sort of deliberately informal, "cool local" vibe, but all it gives off to me is "sassy faggot."

A similar phenomenon is when people write deliberately complex sentences, but omit punctuation to subtly indicate that they're **so intelligent** that they can shit out complex thoughts so nonchalantly that they don't even bother to add periods at the end of them. These two retards are perfect examples of doing this in literally every tweet:

h.webpc.webp

Yet another related pet peeve is when people deliberately disable their grammar/spell check on their phones, again to give off some sort of faggy "chill vibe." This is something I know for a fact Hasan Piker does, despite having no proof to back it up - that's the vibe I'm referring to. The idea of someone going through their phone's settings, finding the spellcheck setting, disabling it, and possibly restarting their phone for the changes to take effect in order to appear as though they're "speaking casually" over text is unfathomably, anus-puckeringly fucking cringe. Never trust an adult man who disables his phone's autocorrect.

I don't give a shit about poor spelling, poor grammar, or not using punctuation/capitalization, and being a "grammar Nazi" is the other side of the same faggy coin, but deliberately typing in a certain fashion in order to give off a "vibe" is indescribably gay to me.

The fact that the vast majority of people are just so fucking boring and have 0 personality is something I'm struggling to come to terms with.
Being raised in the whole "Everyone is their own unique person" generation the reality that the NPC meme is more than just a meme hits very hard.

For every interesting person with a developed identity and personality, there's a legion of "Traveling! Netflix! Drinking!" copy paste types and it's fucking depressing.
The only upside is that when you talk to someone who actually does have more self awareness than a single celled organism, you can have conversations and interactions that leave a meaningful impression.

People, once again. I got a note for a place where they have some equipment you can use. The email says basically "For Item X we have replaced the emergency stop with a new one which requires pull to stop."

What the fuck? The whole fucking point is to just slap it and the thing stops. Not remembering that this thing is "pull to stop" and then taking the time to actually pull. It's called an "emergency stop" for a reason.

Whenever someone claims they are too busy to watch what their child does or claims to be "too busy to parent." Most of the time it translates to laziness, you could check your child's grades on an app these days instead of report cards, or check their internet history. While parental controls aren't foolproof, they help a lot and setting time limits helps a lot. Even having a conversation with your child goes a long way which is something I'm thankful what my father did. If someone is truly too busy to parent, you shouldn't have kids unless you have support.

Politicians that pass laws restricting internet freedom instead of telling parents to do their job.

So many states in the US have blocked porn sites unless users scan their face and upload a picture of their ID. Fuck that bullshit. Use a VPN instead.

Oh boy. Another day of work, another day where coworkers treat me like I'm odd because I don't go on TikTok. Why couldn't that app just get banned already?

TikTok videos of incel women unable to attract a man, and bitching at men like it's their fault.

These women constantly bitch, cheat, and have 500 dating requirements, then bitch some more because they are always alone.

Probably has been said before to death, but my hobbies going mainstream. I won't going into autistic detail, but reading people's takes on my hobbies online and other discourse causes my desire to purge these unclean heathens with extreme prejudice to rise exponentially. I won't even get more retarded and talk about fake fans and commodification of said hobby, among other things.

Edit: ALSO said new people coming in and changing the hobby.

Simply put, I hate people.

There's this old documentary called Merchants of Cool that is one of the most vindicating things ever because it shows how these advertising golems infiltrate espontaneous communities to exploit them and even admit that their interference will inevitably end up killing the scenes completely. At which point they just drop it like an used condom and moved onto the next thing they can soy up.

Its from 2001 so some things are outdated, just add 20 years of social media and big data to the equation.
