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

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Adults using childish substitutes for swear words. Peak striped shirt behavior.

People who scorch their own minds with gore clips and call it enlightenment

He may be autistic.

Beyond that, autistic people are just insanely petty. And I say that with love. The minute you try to strong-arm them into something, it’s over

The anachronistic use of trans/pride flags in early 2000s webcore. Even deep in the trenches of deviantart yaoi, you'd only very rarely see the use of the rainbow flag. But you would never see the trans flag or other modern neopride shit.

People who scorch their own minds with gore clips and call it enlightenment

I've watched some videos on here in the 'watch people die' thread and seen some rotten.com images and even seen ED's 'Offended' (only ever made it four images). I don't feel enlightened or feel like, as some others think, got 'ready for life'. I was disgusted, at times depressed and reminded how fragile human life can really be. It's also just an insight as to how many people out there, really see human life as disposable to do some of the things that have been done. I would personally rather die in my sleep than any of the things witnessed though.

But people who call this 'enlightening' is just yet another trait of theirs that they think makes them quirky on a dark edgy scale. If they really want to be 'enlightened' or 'ready for life', well they can try slicing themselves up, get hit by trains or piss off the wrong people who aren't above killing to make an example.

Down with giving characters gay relationships just because you don’t know what else to do with them. I promise you, this queer arc thing isn't going to generate a fandom or a headline at Variety.

Yeah my name is Thirteen 'cause I’m the unlucky one. I might kiss a girl. Tune in next week to see me not solve a medical mystery

I'm too hot and British to have problems so now I eat pussy outta nowhere

Not even hot TV gay. They should’ve had her date Matlock.

people (usually tards or autists) who treat watching a bad movie/show or playing a bad game as real, genuine trauma.

I was just about to post here about that shit, but I'm fucking sick of this type of retroslop where not only do they get everything about the 2000s wrong, but they're so confidently incorrect. They also have to needlessly act like any sort of criticism of that quirky shit is absolute blasphemy, this comment was posted under a video called "I fixed don't touch my pizza" where the song is just muted.

stores that have moved to solely self-checkout.

You never get enough room to check out either, unless you have less than 20 items.

Another reason to hate commencement speeches is when the speaker hijacks a special moment to grandstand their politics. Nobody cares, least of all me.

But how else would you know the political leanings of a graduate who has little experience within the real world.

Labels/stickers that don’t peel off cleanly.

Anyone who does this to books gets a Ted K package in the mail.

TAX: People who write or underline in their books then donate them to the library or sell them. If you're going to write in a book or highlight/underline passages, please just keep the book in your personal library or toss it. I want to go into a book blind.

Bit TMI but it involves bathroom related things.

I am one of the few guys who wipes their dick down after a piss, why? Because I do not want to deal with dribbles. That and I don't like having that tingly feeling in the front of my crotch after I'm done, it tells me that I'm making a wetspot at the tip of my dick and on the inside of my pants/shorts. I can't stand that shit, so I wipe down until nothing more is coming out. It is gross to me to see guys just do their business and zip back up like nothing. They must enjoy the scent of their piss or something.

And when your dick decides to spray than stream? Gross, because piss can get everywhere and sometimes on your legs which is even nastier and wastes more time in the bathroom. At work, I witness it all the time, some faggot sprays all over the seat and doesn't have the god damn courtesy to take a paper towel, douse it in foam soap and water and clean that. I'm not sitting in your ejected dead cells all over the seat, you disgusting animal, fuck you. People like that should be put down, they're incapable of pissing in the bowl.

At a certain point I just kind of accepted I've accidentally eaten a lifetime supply of fly shit, cow shit, and probably some human shit too. Being a hygiene freak starts to feel a little pointless.

They tend to forget fags and troons were mocked a lot back then.

Thread tax: Adding onto this as well, but anything involving nostalgia or "retro" has some sort of troon or fag reference now, and try to make it "always accepting". One of the few things that was gay about the 80s was the AIDS. Retro games? That has a troon or fag adding some sort of reference to their own lifestyle. Even into the late 00s and early 2010s, I remember there would be a segregated containment area in many communities called the gay/lesbian chat, and they would get routed there if they were one of those, or had to have thick skin. Outside of those chats I remember fags and troons would get mocked a lot before trannies started weaseling into janitor positions in regular places/

I know everyone’s been breathlessly waiting for my weekly complaint about YouTube so:

I got sick of the endless stream of rage bait and tried curating my feed. Now it’s just a carousel of starving African children asking me if I want to save the world for the price of a cup of coffee. I guess YouTube figured if I don't want to be "based" I must be Mother Teresa?

Just show me an ad for Royal Kingdom, man

I hated being asked to support people that never get their shit together, places like the Middle East, Africa, and South America. Why can't they ever get their shit sorted out, stop all the terrorism, and actually grow and cook food so people are starving 24/7?

I stopped responding to unknown numbers that don't leave a message, and the spam stopped.

I also had a problem when my grandpa sold his house. Realtors kept calling and texting me to sell the house, even when I told them I didn't own it. Months after the house was actually sold, I started sending them rape threats and death threats, and they all of a sudden stopped.

Sticker polls. Are people that desperate for updoots?

Yes, it aggravates me as well. Gunks up the highlights when you're looking for information. Worse even than jokey image responses that are occasionally funny.

Spam callers hate him. Find out this one weird trick they don't want you to know.

 

[Ultrapenguin]

The proliferation of the term "crashout" (aka meltdown, freakout, to blow one's lid, to throw a fit, to have an episode, etc.)

I had never heard this dumb term until maybe 6 or so months ago. I actually looked it up on Google Trends and apparently the word didn't even exist until ~a year and a half ago.



All of a sudden it caught on now though, and every spaz is using the term everywhere. I see it here, I see it on YT, now nobody's having meltdowns anymore, they're having "crashouts".

These types of terms regularly emerge then get overused online because people are dumb and poor at expressing themselves, and every time it happens I have a crashout about it, but this one has annoyed me a little more than usual because it's a made up term that was invented in 2023 and it's rarely used in a way that it sounds appropriate to the situation. I'm sure in a year it will be some new overused word, and it will irritate me as well, because I'm a hater and psychologically a grumpy old man.

The proliferation of the term "crashout" (aka meltdown, freakout, to blow one's lid, to throw a fit, to have an episode, etc.)

Language changes, especially now when some 30 year old fat lipped baboon uses a brainrot slang term he made up on the spot while streaming some fag game to middle class white 12 year old boys. It’s debeebling.
